Apparently it seems that Obama can’t even get a defining majority over the quitter Sarah Palin. In a mock match up, Obama came in at 48% with Palin coming in a 42%.Here’s the Rassmussen story. When put up against Romney, it comes out to a 45% split with [...]
You sure can… just don’t think about trying to switch to another private health insurance agency after the bill is passed. On page 16 of the bill it clearly outlaws individual private medical insurance by not allowing companies to take on new clients. (Thanks to Dr. IQ for the link).

July 7 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. should consider drafting a second stimulus package focusing on infrastructure projects because the $787 billion approved in February was “a bit too small,” said Laura Tyson, an adviser to President Barack Obama.

So the reaking hypocrisy that came from Mark Sanford this week (Geeze can this guy be any more idiotic?), has a little bit of company from our old pal Obama. It seems that Mr. Obama is threatening his first presidential veto for a defense spending bill.

The stories from Iran are heart-breaking. The silence by Obama is deafening. For days, we have let this travesty unfold while we sit mute on the sidelines. People are crying out only to fall on deaf ears. I’m not saying we rush in guns blazing, but we can’t sit idle [...]

Looks like the the handgun ban in Chicago still stands.
The issue was so crystal-cear, it took Chicago’s federal appellate judges only a week to render their decision: Chicago’s handgun ban stands.
The Supreme Court’s Heller ruling last year throwing out Washington, D.C.’s handgun ban gave gun owners great hope that [...]

As I’ve stated many times before, I’ve long since separated myself from the Republican party. The missteps that the national party has taken over the course of the last 10 years has been stifling. In order for the party to get up from their dismal 21% of registered voters, there [...]
Looks like the tax payers are now buying poor people cars.
Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

Looks like the Oklahoma house has passed a bill that reaffirms the state’s sovereignty.
Although Gov. Brad Henry vetoed similar legislation 10 days earlier, House members Monday again approved a resolution claiming Oklahoma’s sovereignty.
Unlike House Joint Resolution 1003, House Concurrent Resolution 1028 does not need the governor’s approval.
The House [...]
Seems like Arlen Specter (R D-PA) just can’t seem to keep his mouth shut. Revealing more about him as a politician than I think he really wants others to know.

Take a look at this article. It talks about the Treasury not willing to divulge if it is refusing to allow certain TARP recipients to pay back the loans.

This is the most serious thing that worries me these days.
It is not a matter of IF we get another attack on American soil, its a matter of WHEN. The people who hate our guts and want us dead don’t care that we’ve elected a president of “Change”.
