Democrats are pleased by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ announcement this morning that 11,000 jobs were lost in November – in the prior 3 months, payroll job losses had averaged 135,000 a month – and the unemployment rate fell to 10 percent (down from 10.2 percent in October), [...]
The Democratic Party fantasizes that it's "the party of dissent." It's certainly true that an inordinate number of Democrats were "dissidents" when they were young; but that was when Richard Nixon was president, for the older members -- or when Ronald Reagan was president, for the rest (including the current [...]
I’m imagining a clever video where an actress portraying Nancy Pelosi goes in to see her psychiatrist, complaining about the trials and tribulations of being the legislative leader of the majority party in Washington. She would say that while she felt elated after her party’s electoral victories, winning back in [...]
Congressmen Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, and Pete Stark, D-Fremont, were among 26 House Democrats who broke from the party pack today to oppose H.R. 4154, Permanent Estate Tax Relief for Families, Farmers, and Small Businesses Act of 2009.

Alas, California is the model that Democrats would like to impose on the nation as a whole. See this succinct analysis of the differences between the states.

Democrats are not raising all taxes on the rich. Tomorrow the House will take up and probably pass an extension of the current estate tax.
HR 4154 would permanently extend the current estate...

All kidding aside, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi will be addressing the Orange County Democrats at their Annual Harry Truman award dinner this Friday:

The Democratic congressional delegation loves President Barack Obama but they don’t love his proposal to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.
Congress controls the purse strings and Obama he needed to win votes, not friends, with his speech tonight.
None of the Bay Area Democrats in Congress I have heard from since [...]
Here's the statement on Obama's Afghan speech from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has publicly warned of the resistance he will face from Democrats but has never said outright that she opposes a...

She landed her current gig in June 2007, and will [...]
The battle map sent out by protesters attempts to cover every possible entry by Nancy Pelosi into the Hilton Irvine on Friday evening, when the House speaker shows up as the featured guest at the O.C. Democrats big annual Harry S Truman dinner.
Self-proclaimed “Tea Party Patriots” will be joined [...]
Many Democrats are not going to show up and vote. That is all there is to it. Obama also has to start standing up for the people, demanding that Dems in the Senate start acting like Democrats, and doing so very publicly and loudly. If he doesn't do these tihngs' [...]
