McConnell Introduces One Page Alternative to Omnibus

I have no problem with Congress debating more bills like this - that the public has no doubt their representative actually read it before voting on it.

Sen. Robert C Byrd's Family To Get His Senate Salary Next Year

Ahhhhhhh - if this doesn't chap your a$$ I don't know what will.  Senator Byrd died this year but there is a provision that states his family will receive his salary for the following year.  This is not a new provision but it just goes to show you that Congress continues to screw the taxpayers even after they are dead.

Earl Pomeroy For Congress

You may be thinking at this moment - why in the hell was this posted?  Just watch the 30 second clip and see if you see something strange about the beginning of the clip........especially when I let you know that this is a Democrat running for Congress.

2011 Defense Authorization Bill Voted Down 56-43

The defeat of this legislation is being portrayed in the media as a blow against gays in the military.  The article on the don't ask - don't tell  is just a portion of what was defeated.  The media just brushed over the DREAM Act portion of the bill.  Harry Reid is one of the 3 Democrats that voted against this bill so that he could introduce it again later.  It was his bill!!  For Christ sake if you vote against your own bill it should be dead.  The legislative process has turned into a joke.

Jack Cafferty Ripping A Cowardly Congress

Another CBC Member Giving Scholarships To Relatives

According to this article Rep. Sanford Bishop joins Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in giving out scholarships to relatives.  Does giving charitable donations to your own family count as redistibuting the wealth?  Draining the swamp to provide the most ethical government evah!

Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson Violated Rules - Steered Scholarships To Relatives

She says that she did not personally benefit from any of the scholarships she awarded nor was she aware of the rules that state the scholarships can't go to a relative and have to go to someone in her district.  She recognized some of the names but didn't realize they were relatives - I mean come on people - how many people would know the names of their grandchildren or great nephews?
I wonder if Pelosi is still policing the most ethical Congress evah!

Is The Wave Of Conservatism Getting Close To Tsunami Proportions?

In this American Thinker article Bruce Walker seems to think it is.  He lays out his thoughts on what is possible in the 2010 and 2012 elections.  None of us can rest - get the word out to those that are less informed.

Representative Bob Etheridge Doesn't Quite Answer The Question

It appears to me that Representative Bob Etheridge won't answer the question until he knows who you are.

Financial Reform Bill Loaded With Non-Reform Amendments

There is a practice in Washington that just chaps my a$$ and it is the attachment of amendments to a bill that have nothing to do with the bill they are amending.  The financial reform bill is no different - it has 326 amendments ranging from finishing the border fence to dealing with crap in Congo.  They wonder why the country's approval rating of Congress is as low as it is?
