Disgraced Super Committee Fails to Act
For anybody wondering how the approval rating of Congress (more like the dis-approval rating) could possibly get any lower than its current 9%, the question has finally been answered. Today the so-called Super Committee, comprised of six Republicans and six Democrats, announced that they had failed to come to an agreement on how to remove $1.2 trillion in spending from …
Super Committee Reflects America’s Deep Divisions
As we all can so clearly recall, a disgraceful show of Republican partisanship and recalcitrance last August nearly brought the country to the point of financial default. A last minute deal was reached between moderate Republicans and Democrats that forced the Obama Administration to agree to deep cuts in domestic spending with no increases in revenues. At that time a …
West Wing Story: Rumble of Dems and GOP!
Republicans: The Dems won’t have their day Tonight
Democrats:The GOP won’t have their way Tonight

Bachmann Says “Let Them Eat Cake” as America Faces Debt Crisis
In a recent interview presidential hopeful, Michele Bachmann, was asked about the deadlocked discussions between the Republicans and the Democrats over raising the U.S. debt limit ceiling. Her response , which reflected the attitude of many Tea Party advocates, was that the debt ceiling should not be raised unless Democrats agree to $5 or $6 trillion in cuts to …
Republican Disunity Garners Media Attention
The media’s feeding frenzy over Donald Trump’s outrageous, and politically untenable behavior has certainly been a major distraction for the other, more acceptable presidential hopefuls. Not everyone within the Republican leadership ranks, however, have viewed the “Trump” distraction as necessarily a bad thing. The fact is that the Republican Party is hopelessly fractured between the demanding conservative wing and its …
Wisconsin Dems Should be Tossed
I have been mulling this over, and I think that those cowardly Dems who took an out of state hike during the union crisis should be kicked out of office on their arses. Now. Did they not understand that they had a moral, ethical and professional obligation to their constituents? I do not recall “taking a hike” being in their job description.
Political Email: I Gave At The Office!

Every day we receive email from Democrats in high places. During the presidential campaign, we even responded to several and donated money for the cause, which was getting Obama elected. We gave willingly to something we strongly believed in. Since that time, we have become inundated with political emails, and I have been duped …
Dissonance Among Liberals
A New Deal! A Great Society! These are chants from history past, not politics present. There is a saying that the man does not make the Office; the Office makes the man.
Republican Political Ayatollahs
It’s a little bit frightening to think that the 2010 Congressional campaign has already begun in earnest. Most Americans have always known that politics was a “dirty” business, but this year’s crop of political-wannabees are looking to take the election process to new lows. Republicans, in particular, have become emboldened by the recent strategy of creating total gridlock …
