While we won the war in Iraq and have been pummeled by high gas prices and a mortgage scandal the Democrat Congress has been focused on dirt, watermelons, potatoes and vacuous non-binding resolutions: The 110th Congress, whose term officially ends in January, hasn’t passed any spending bills or attacked high gasoline prices. But it has […]

Obama lost me when his reason to become President was to help all the poor people in the world. That […]

The “true” conservatives, whose invectives against moderate and independent conservatives (e.g., RINOS, Quislings, etc) successfully handed Congress to the liberals in 2006, are again pointing their guns at the kind of non-fringe compromise which America wants on serious issues facing this nation.

Update: John McCain eloquently explains his positions on Georgia in an Op Ed today. (H/T RCP)Â – end update Junior Senator Obama, still trying to finish his first term in the Senate (and will apparently do so with no legislative accomplishments even though he chaired a subcommittee – that did nothing for two years), has come […]

Yes To Democracy alerted me to some interesting happenings over at the Cult of The COLB. It seems the ‘esteemed’ Techdud has gone underground and those blogs who had been promoting his ‘reports’ have pulled them: Update: Techdude has informed me that he is unable to continue his work at this time, due to family obligations […]
