UT Senator Bob Bennett ousted from GOP primary to due TARP support; will McCain be next?

McCain is in an even worse position than Bennett. He has a lower lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union and supported several of the billion dollar TARP pork bailouts. The biggest contributors to his campaign were the banks that benefited from the bailouts.

The Next Jihad

Flush from their victory over the American public regarding health care. Democrats are now even more willing to ignore public opinion. The proof is the resurgence on Capital Hill for creating amnesty for as many as 13 million illegal aliens.

A Declaration of War

The passage of the Obamacare legislation was nothing less than a declaration of war by the government against the American people.  Or at least, by the legislative majority.  

Is America Ungovernable?

Lately the left wing media pundits have been lamenting the inability of the Obama administration to enact policy. From health care to cap & trade; the administration's failure to move the nation quickly leftward has caused many to opine that the system is broken.

On Health Care; the President orders; “Ramming Speed”

After the dog and pony show put up by the President on February 25th he's now content to shove this progressive power grab down the collective throats of the American people, and damn the consequences to his party or the people.

The Obama Health Summit is a Show

The President's announcement of a Health Care Summit with Republicans is undoubtedly an election year trap. Here's the road map on how to navigate this issue successfully.

With Hayworth, has McCain met his Tea Party Waterloo?

While understandable that Palin would support the man who put her on the national stage, other candidates who vouch for McCain's "conservative" credentials are doing a disservice to the movement. And it doesn't look like it's going to fly this time around. The groundswell of grassroots attitudes are emodied in the Tea Party movement, and [...]

Cash for Clunkers increases demand and related price for autos that otherwise would not be. Also, increased demand raises home prices above market value and governments are benefiting from the $8,000 credit because it is keeping home prices artificially high. And this punishes EVERY property owner first to subsidize the $8,000 credit and second with [...]

Do Obama's "Czars" Need Congressional Approval?

If the various Czars exercise real power, shouldn't they be accountable to Congress. 

Disaster Of The Senate

Exploiting the disfavored-gunshot victims, blacks, women, "gays," the poor-was Ted Kennedy's stock in trade. Throwing tax money at problems was a lot easier than crafting truly effective policy, much of which would have put the main burden on the private community.

And Good Riddance

If Ted Kennedy's crusading was supposed to be a show of compassion, to the observant individual it failed miserably. His compassion was always at the expense of other people's money and never his own.
