There was an interesting article in Washington Posts blog by Peter Guluszka, “Virginia Tea Parties need to grow up”. His article brings up some interesting points and some things I have pondered myself. Like this: The well-organized party movement was riding a wave in the run-up to the midterm elections in November. It was taking […]

According to Politico’s Playbook today, “President Obama has taped an appearance for Discovery Channel’s ‘MythBusters’.” Certainly, it’s nice for the President to show support for the science-focused education and entertainment that the show is known for, but it often feels like President Obama needs to be examined by a political version of such a show.

Wow! This is great news. The Senate Republicans AND Democrats have tied President Obama’s hands as far as making any more of his horrible “emergency” appointments during the recess. More devastation was in store for Americans as Obama was sure to make his now customary and sneaky appointments in this manner as soon as Congress […]

While the liberal media talking points direct “journalists” to point out that a midterm exodus of advisers is a fairly common event, the number of high level advisers leaving the Obama Administration is nothing short of astonishing.

With public opinion running very much against the Democrat’s Health Reform bills, the Republican Campaigns will no doubt continue to keep this unpopular legislation in the public eye. The voters that have their Health Insurance disrupted by […]
