Today (8/05/09) on the Neal Cavuto Show Rand Paul (son of the lovely wacko Libertarian Republican Ron Paul) has declared his candidacy for senator of Kentucky to replace outgoing senator Jim Bunning. Rand Paul said all the right things and promised what he would do but time will tell whether he can generate the supposed "grassroots" efforts his father has. Rand differs with his father rather dramatically on FP and even on fiscal policies. While he supports balanced budgets and promises not to su… Continue

Okay, since Congress and the president seem so hell bent on reforming HC I thought it would be a worthwhile question to ask who you want to reform HC. We all know thar the president and Congress would pass the legislation but who woud you want coming up with the ideas and plans. A. Obama B. Congress C. Doctors and Insurance Companies D. The Pharmecutical and Drug Companies E. An independent panel of economic advisors and medical practicioners. I know where my vote goes, how about you? Continue

Much has been made of party indentification and the demographics of the country since 2006 when Republicans were first drubbed. Several prominent Republican strategists have come out and said that the GOP's failure to adapt to changing ideas and demographics in the country will leave them in a long icy winter of minority status. True or not though the fact remains that far more people label themselves conservative then moderate or liberal. According to a new Gallup poll 40% label themselves cons… Continue

Well it is official. With just over 90% of the vote in from Iran Ahmadinejad has won with over 70% of the vote. Obama has come out and said that we cannot call it what it is,"fraud." Rioting on the streets is occurring in Iran and protestors are being beaten and killed who voted for Mousavi, the pro-reformist candidate. Honestly is anybody surprised by this? Reports from the MSM, the Guardian and international newspapers are all feigning surprise at the results essentially calling Ahmadinejad th… Continue

Serves the narcissitic little betraying rat right. As of now no poll numbers have come out and Sestak is a relative newcomer to the state scene but he commands a powerful netroots network and has years of Specter's pissing off Democrats to work with. Here's to hoping no matter what that Specter loses and Toomey takes the seat back for the GOP. Continue

Well we all knew it would happen eventually. Now it has. Nancy Pelosi recently embattled over what she did and didn't know about waterboarding has now come full circle. It started with a simple white lie that she was never involved in the briefings, then when Cheney and the CIA said that was false she changed her story to I was briefed in 2003 and didn't object to it because "I respected the proper chain of command." Then when the ACLU and Moveon.org and again Cheney jumped on that she shifted y… Continue

Have you heard of the tax on millionares that isn't for millionares. Well here it is and only for the prices of earning $300,000 in New York state, $250,000 in New Jersey and $300,000 in California and $500,000 in several other states you can have the patriotic honor (Joe Biden ) of paying this millionares tax that isn't. Oh by the way this is on top of federal taxes on the "rich" and your income. Continue

This week President Obama went overseas to the G-20 Summitt in London and then Turkey. Let's see what happened. On the first day Obama gave the queen a Ipod (she already had one) and a great old songbook. Riots, protests and police were shown on the second day. The third day President Obama was in a photop and dissed his country on FP. On the fourth day the US tried to get concessions out of France and Germany on stimulus and on Afghanistan and got nil on the first and 5,000 trainers on the seco… Continue
