An open and honest Congress

Over the last several days, I have written a couple of articles that spoke of possible Republican gains in Congress in the mid-term elections in November. As conservatives and Republicans, there are a lot of us who hope that happens. Part of that hope rises from our desire to see Congress operate a bit differently [...]

New York congressional race heats up

I have been out of the news loop for most of the weekend, due to having other obligations and it appears that I have missed a lot. Mike has already written about the struggle between the conservative and moderate factions of the Republican Party and how this struggle is playing out in the race for [...]

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney – Looking forward to 2012

Some may say this post is about two or three years early and they may very well be right, but this is something that has been on my mind for some time and I suppose now is as good a time as any to put pen to paper, so to speak. Yes, I understand it is only 2009 and Barack Obama has only been in office for about four months, but we will have a chance to vote him out of office in 2012 and the campaign will start earlier than that.

Were Chrysler dealership closings politically motivated?

The articles I have written so far about the troubles of General Motors and Chrysler have been posted in Economy, but this article belongs in the US News/Politics category. Since the announcement by Chrysler that 789 of their 3,300 dealers were going to be closed, there has been a growing hubbub of speculation about the [...]

The reality of Guantanamo Bay

At least for the time being, President Obama has been slapped with a large dose of reality about the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Senate voted today 90-6 to block $80 million in funding that would allow the prison to be closed and the prisoners being held there transferred to other facilities. Ever [...]

Nancy Pelosi, the CIA, and the Republicans

I have refrained from writing about the battle of words that is currently under way between the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the CIA, concerning how much information Congress was given about the waterboarding of terrorist suspects. Personally, I can’t believe she didn’t know what was going on, as she was the top [...]

The stimulus package that isn’t

President Obama has been saying for quite some time, even before he won the election, that our infrastructure needs to be rebuilt in a major way and there is no argument there. Some of our roads and bridges are in bad shape. His idea was to have a stimulus package that would fund those kinds [...]

Gasoline tax increase recommended

Okay, those of you who have been rejoicing at the lower priced gasoline we have been seeing in the past few weeks, raise your hands. If you are like me, it has been much less painful to go to the place where you normally purchase your gasoline and actually be able to fill up the [...]

Chip Saltsman has a plan for restoring the Republican Party

Chip Saltsman has stepped up his campaign for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee by sending the members a letter, in which he lays out his plan for rebuilding the Republican Party and regaining the losses we suffered on November 4, 2008. Because the letter is rather long, I will not repost it in [...]

Draft Chip Saltsman for Republican National Chairman

Now that the elections are over for a couple of years, it is very evident that the Republican Party is in a mess, to put it bluntly. Already, there are reports of infighting coming from the John McCain and Sarah Palin staffers and although I honestly do not know if the rumors are true about [...]
