Ramming Legislation We Do Not Want Or Need

Let’s see now, POTUS is going to be in St. Louis tomorrow to push his agenda in a closed to the general public meeting with select invited citizens.

Is this how our taxpayer money is to be used now? To speak not to us, directly, about such a major change to our economy and personal health care? I want my money back.

The next ramming event is scheduled for November 2, 2010. And it is our turn.

Our Other Senator Grilled By FOXNews

A feisty interview between FOX News Shep Smith and Senator Benjamin Cardin (D).

Can you determine where the arrogance is coming from? I can.

Entering The GOP At Ground Level

I don’t think we needed the LA Times to tell us, but nevertheless – okay.

‘Tea party’ activists filter into GOP at ground level

UPDATE: 3 House Retirements Spur Debate

Is that all? Well, the article leads by saying those three are all Republicans. While I can’t say that lends credence to the gist of the article completely, it does tell me that the folks deciding to leave probably feel they want to get out on their own decision rather than losing at the ballot box. From an earlier read I had (Dick Morris, if I am not mistaken) the point was made that losing at the ballot box meant such a person would not likely be able to be called upon as a paid consultant/lobbyist. Hhhmm. Maybe.


A trio of House Republican retirement announcements over the past 10 days have sparked a debate between the leaders of the two major parties over whether the GOP is losing momentum in its quest to score major gains at the ballot box this fall.

UPDATE: There is another article concerning House retirements, but this one includes a list of upcoming districts (by state) of various concerns. Maybe not quite up to date, but close.

Still more Appointments to be made.

A Budget Plan to Cut the Deficit

And this is according to a Washington Post article on a proposal by House Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-WI). A Republican plan that actually will do what Pres. Obama says he wants to do as well.

But Peter Orszag disagrees with it and publicly criticized it during hearings on Pres. Obama’s budget plan.

It seems the White House doesn’t want Republican help. Why is that? I thought the President keeps saying he wants bipartisanship in these efforts. So why isn’t it happening? Somebody isn’t in the loop, I suspect. Couldn’t be another reason, now could it?

Let’s see, Peter Orszag, Peter Orszag … oh yeah, this guy – right?

The Right Decision
