Cong. Heath Shuler, Sandy’s favorite Democratic officeholder, was recently defeated for minority leader by former Speaker and architect of the shellacking, Cong. Nancy Pelosi. Shuler did, however garner 43 votes to Pelosi’s 150. This is a major development; The Hill reported that there were major fissures within the Democratic Party: Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her […]

It’s now official: Sandy’s favorite Democrat – Cong. Heath Shuler of NC is running against Cong. Nancy Pelosi for minority leader. Of course I’ll gladly root for Shuler; I admire him for this faith and his [mostly] conservative positions on the issue. But this is a lost cause worthy of Sen. Jefferson Smith. Shuler admits […]

First I want to thank the millions of voters, activists, candidates, bloggers, contributors and others who made it possible for my favorite Democrat, Rep. Heath Shuler, to run for Minority Leader and not Speaker! I had suggested a few days ago that it was reported that Shuler would run for Speaker but now he’ll have […]

My favorite Democrat (officeholder), Rep. Heath Shuler, is moving toward a run for Speaker of the House. “If there is no viable alternative, I will be running for speaker of the House,” Shuler said during a radio debate with Republican Jeff Miller, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported. My first comment is: Let’s make sure he’s running […]

In what is becoming a routine pattern for the Obama Administration, the Republicans make a claim that there is something hokey about a partisan Democrat bill, the President belittles the Republicans for saying such a thing, and then orders the offending language that didn’t exist stricken from the bill. And the Mainstream Media denies it […]

A month after Sen. Bunning asked Democrats to pay for extending unemployment benefits and was voted down, here we are again. Democrats again waited to the last minute before looking to extend benefits that expire at the end of this month. Earlier today, Sen. McConnell offered a bill to extend benefits that was fully paid […]

The fact that the Washington Post got something wrong concerning Eric Cantor (R-Va) is not news. It is not shocking at all, in fact. What is both shocking and newsworthy is that they admitted they got something wrong about a Republican. In a February 26th editorial, WaPo claimed Congressman Cantor’s “tactic” of carrying the entire, […]
