Sen. Dodd … Meet your latest challenger – Roger Pearson

By Jim Vicevich / April 20, 2009 / Comments Off on Sen. Dodd … Meet your latest challenger – Roger Pearson

He starts with hyperbole, he invokes the name of George Soros and yet … watching this is so much fun. His name is Roger Pearson and at least in this interview he asks all the right questions. Like, where was Dodd when the financial house was melting down? httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGsQXjJbDEk Looks like next year is gunna…

Dodd-Simmons: Game On?

By Jim Vicevich / February 7, 2009 /

Here’s the headline from the JI:  Simmons weighs run for Senate And about time. Dodd’s vulnerable … his tenure alone makes him vulnerable. Add to that his reluctance to come clean on his mortgages and his stunning lack of leadership at best and complicity at worst during the mortgage meltdown makes him a liability as…

Immigration Bill & Obamacare – Incentive to hire immigrants instead of citizens

By Steve McGough / June 25, 2013 /

I’ll be the first one to tell you I have had little or no time to review the current immigration “fix” legislation, but this does not sound good at all. A week ago, journalists started looking into how the Obamacare rules would apply to new immigrants who will have become legalized. It seems employers would…

Sandy relief bill LOADED with spending unrelated to storm

By Steve McGough / January 2, 2013 /

Outrageous. If I was in Congress and was willing to provide federal financial aid for New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut, I’d outright demand not one dime be included in the bill that was not specific to storm relief. Of course, that won’t happen .. and the current bill provides $100 million for…

By Steve McGough / January 18, 2011 /

Kevin Rennie’s posted news this afternoon indicating Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) will not run for re-election in 2012. Earlier today, Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz announced she would be running for the seat as a Democrat in 2012.

Social Niceties

By Dave in EH / November 5, 2010 /

In the wake of Tuesday’s midterm results, there has been a great deal of talk about “cooperation” between the parties.  Harry Reid himself making reference to his friendship with Mitch McConnell and how the two parties need to work together, especially now that Reid and the Democrats fortunes in the Senate are waning.

Blumenthal holds 5 point lead over McMahon in Connecticut US Senate race

By Steve McGough / October 15, 2010 /

Interesting. The margin of error for this Rasmussen poll is 4 points, after surveying 750 likely voters in Connecticut the two days after the most recent – and last – McMahon vs. Blumenthal debate. Blumenthal 51 percent, McMahon 46 percent, while 4 percent are undecided or want someone else.

By Steve McGough / February 8, 2010 / Comments Off on Florida US Senate race: Rubio on his way to raising $787k by Feb. 10

In an effort to raise campaign funds for his GOP primary run against Charlie Christ for the Florida US Senate seat, Marco Rubio racks up more than half of his $787,000 goal. The Stimulus Bomb campaign ends in three days. The Rubio campaign is looking for $1,000 in donations for every billion of the federal…

Sen. Roland Burris is an under-oath liar

By Steve McGough / May 28, 2009 /

Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.), who was appointed to President Obama’s vacant Senate seat by the nutty former Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.), probably should pack his bags and head back to the political hack-world of Chicago this weekend. Drive yourself home, or walk if your ego is too damn big to be a lowly passenger on…

800 Billion Reasons To Be Worried

By Jim Vicevich / February 10, 2009 /

So who gets the money from the Porkapalooza … Reason on line … did the homework. Ughhh. Make sure you read it all … but here’s a sample. 1. Billions of dollars in spending exclusively devoted to benefit federal employees. $5.5 billion for making federal buildings “green” (including $448 million for the Department of Homeland…
