Reminder: Most people are conservatives
The current AP/Roper poll indicates most of us are “moderates”, but that’s not true. The sample – and how you ask the question – is very important. AP/Roper consistently shows one-third of the population describes themselves as moderate, while the George Washington University Battleground Poll consistently shows almost two-thirds of registered likely voters are somewhat…
Read MoreLieberman: No … I’m an independent, but I’m against raising taxes.
Sorry. A little late getting this up. But as Sister Patrick used to say, “Jimmy, better late then never.” But then Sister Cecilia used to say, “Jimmy, better never late.” Ha. Some things never change. Joe Lieberman on with Neil Cavuto two days ago declares his independence but hints Republicans have talked to him. Bottom…
Read MoreBiden to Bush: You deserve a lot of credit Mr President
OK, hell has frozen over. It’s snowing in Miami. Global warming has ended. I play the violin like Elana James … ummm … quick, jump in, everyone. Your wildest dreams can now come true. Vice President Joe Biden to former President George W. Bush … “Thank you Mr President”.
Read MoreHey, these guys have never even sold a pair of shoes
It’s a sad day when a sports writer and a lefty to boot, gets it, and the White House can’t see it at all.
Read MoreTexas Rep. Johnson must resign immediately
Sure, she’s got an election coming up where she hopefully will get tossed out of office, but the revelations today in the Dallas Morning News is incredible. She requested scholarship checks be re-written and made out specifically to family members.
Read MoreAnother disenchanted Obamacare Democrat
A recent post here discussed what Democrats have been instructed to say about Obamacare on the campaign trail. The law is not perfect, but it does good things and helps many people. Now we’ll work to improve it. That’s hardly a resounding endorsement. On Friday, we learned of a Democrat who voted for the bill, but…
Read MoreLarson guarantees Democrats hold House … caller suggests only if dead people vote
I expect that bravado from Congressman John Larson. He is after all fourth in line to the President, sort of. And he is after all a big force in national Democrat politics. But could it be they are counting on dead people as one caller suggested?
Read MoreSymptom of the Disease: Congress-critter hands out scholarship dollars to relatives
I’ve been thinking about writing a book. Have discussed the project with Jim multiple times during the last 18 months. I’d call it Symptoms of the Disease of course, and it would highlight stories like Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) dishing out scholarships from a charitable foundation to family members.
Read MorePlease no … GOP plans wave of White House probes
There’s been talk of serious Congressional hearings getting going once the Republicans take control of the House, Senate or both starting in early 2011. Please, no. I’m serious, I’m not interested in hearings about the transparency or lack there of in the current Executive Branch.
Read MoreSymptom of the Disease: I brought millions back to Arkansas – Vote for me!
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) is reminding Arkansas voters she brought back – more or less stole – millions of dollars from other states in federal pork spending. I’ve mentioned this in the past … states are getting into the habit of voting for incumbents as long as they bring back more pork dollars then the…
