The absurdest play known as the state budget shifted to House Speaker Chris Donovan, D-Meriden, who responsed, finally, to Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s proposal to cut $466 million from the current plan, including $84 million in aid to cities and towns.
Listening to U.S. Rep. John Larson, D-CT, speak Sunday on “Face the State” is an effort without rolling one’s eyes like an out-of-control slot machine. Appearing with host Dennis House, Larson gave every sad cliche about the role of government, his failure to keep the F-22 [...]
It’s the weekend after Thanksgiving, when many are wondering whether to buy a balsam or a fir or to plunk down for that 55-inch HD sucker on sale at Bernie’s. It is easy to forgetthat most voters are not engrossed with every bob of weave of the political [...]
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, D-CT, is a front-line supporter of the government takeover of this nation’s health care system and spares no one from her lash who stands in the way.
DeLauro’s irrational conduct was just part of the Obama administrations confusion convention this week over breast [...]
For those who think Sen. Chris Dodd is going to pack it, Monday’s announcement that Vice President Joe Biden is coming to town to do a $500 a head fundraiser is short-term proof that the senior Senator is going nowhere.
Last week, Sen. Dodd continued to get [...]
U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd continues to get beaten by all three Republican candidates in the latest Quinnipiac Poll releasedThursday. Dodd’s trustworthiness with the voters is also in the red zone, with a 52 percent thumbs down a little under a year before the 2010 Election. Only nine percent said [...]
Governor M. Jodi Rell Monday announced that she would not run for another four-year term as the state’s chief executive, bringing down the curtain on a 25-year career in public service.
Gov. Rell made the emotional announcement in her office at a news conference called late in the [...]
President Barack Obama talks a good game, but Ronald Reagan’s words changed the game and drove Communism into the ash heap of history. Twenty years ago today, a little over 16 months after Ronald Regan stood at the Bradenberg Gate and called upon the Russians remove the [...]

Tuesday, local elections will be held around the state and Republicans candidates are finishing with purpose and focus in every corner of Connecticut- building a strong case for local management that follows one simple premise – the people’s rights matter over the government’s.
Republican Mayors Sebastian Giuliano (Middletown), [...]
U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT, stood with his Majority Leader and fellow endangered species Harry Reid, D-NV, Tuesday and boldly threw down the gauntlet on insisting on a major government role to “solve” the 40-year health care crisis. Reid had offered a “public option” plan which would [...]

Frederick K. Biebel had quite a life. No one in Connecticut Republican history, and few nationally, did as much as Fred Biebel did in his 83 years of being a believer in the party’s principles while helping propel candidates to the halls of power [...]

Today the Connecticut Republican Party mourns the loss of Chairman Emeritus Frederick K. Biebel.
Fred Biebel, as most knew him, led the Connecticut Republican Party in its darkest days to the brilliant sunshine of the Reagan Revolution. He was a tireless Republican who gave his [...]
It took a little prodding from Hartford Courant columist Rick Green to get Congressman Chris Murphy to get a case of ethics – but it was U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd who broke out in a flop sweat fever.
Green had asked the question which we have been [...]
President Barack Obama comes to the Stamford Sheraton Friday to rescue Sen. Chris Dodd with a major fundraiser and a moral boost. Both President Obama and Sen. Dodd are losing credibility in different stages. Sen. Dodd has little if any left, while President Obama approval [...]
Sunday on Meet the Press, Sen. Chris Dodd was part magician and mathametician as he explained away the impending collapse of American currency, a prolonged recession and how fortunate the country will be once the entire health care system is under control of the same people [...]
Legislative Democrats, unable to defeat Governor M. Jodi Rell with the public at large, have now attacked her for a $230,000 research project known to all, that might have had, gasp!, a political implication.
House Speaker Chris Donovan, D-Meriden, who uses his office as the full-employment center for union [...]
Today, the Hartford Courant paid the Connecticut Republican Party a high compliment - it attacked our program to spread the truth about the corrupt record of Democrat legislators, including it’s supreme leader – House Speaker Chris Donovan, D-Meriden and House Majority Denise Merrill, D-Mansfield.
Since our program began, [...]
After the longest budget debate in Connecticut history, the final chapter in this disgraceful and destructive saga ended with the Democrat Comptroller Nancy Wyman telling the Legislature its proposal is already $500 milion out of whack while Senate Preident Don Williams, D-Brooklyn, is heading off to Russia.
It’s hard [...]
We are quickly learning as a nation that President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are finding how the war on terror is not something that can turn off and on like a blender.
The inconsistent statements, the reliance on the United Nations, the impulse to blame Israel [...]
It would be a postive legacy to future generations to require some candidate for a doctorate to do a thesis on how 30 years of central planning, pro-union policies, mandates, taxes, regulation and general antagonism from Democratic legislators has created made Connecticut an Economic Dead Zone.
Today’s news, which was really old [...]
Let’s all welcome House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Friday as she wanders into the Insurance Capital of the world, or what is left of it, to raise money for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Pelosi, will be hosted by U.S. Rep. John Larson, CT-1, at a high-end fundraiser [...]
It is comforting to watch and hear from the liberal elites dismiss the growing Tea Party movement as some out-of-control Klan rally, pocketed with paranoid back-woods knuckle-dragger’s. This weekend over a million everyday Americans, including many from Connecticut, came to Washington, D.C. on their own dimes, the mainstream media [...]
This week, the Democrats in the State Legislature humiliated themselves and Connecticut by showing a snide indifference to their most important and only task of consequence – approving an annual state budget. And the two legislators who symbolized the arrogant demeanor of the super majority – State [...]
Thursday, Congressman Chris Murphy, sensing that the people of the Fifth District want no part of his nationalized health care plan, offered to dump his gold-plated taxpayer financed medical coverageif Obamacare is passed. He made this grand gesture before a scrubbed crowd of AFSME Council 4 [...]
Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced Tuesday evening that she would use her line-item veto power to remove some discretionary spending from the $37.6 billion budget passed by the Democratic-controlled Legislature Friday morning, but would allow the budget to become law without her signature.
The Governor said she had offered [...]
The Democrats, with a few exceptions, passed a laughable, surreal – pick an adjective - two-year $37 billion state budget this morning, but falling short of the number they needed to sustain a veto from Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
The House vote for 103-45 and 22-13 in the Senate. State [...]
There was much joy after we learned late Thursday that U.S. District Court Judge Stefan Underhill had struck down Connecticut’s Citizen Election program as unconstitutional – thereby pulling the plug on the $60 million tax-payer financed Incumbency Protection Act. Even Attorney General Dick Blumenthal was [...]
Gov. M. Jodi Rell changed the debate over the budget in dramatic fashion Wednesday by offering some tax increases, tax cuts and more reductions in spending in hopes of prodding the recalcitrant Democratic Legislature in action.
At issue is a gnawing $8 billion budget gap for the next [...]
We wish to thank the Editorial Board of the Hartford Courant for crystallizing the entire argument on what is at stake with the current debate over our nation’s health care system/
Yes, it is about what kind of role government will play in decisions than affect the health [...]
U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-CT, rocked Barack Obama’s world for the second time in a year this weekend by saying the administration’s health care proposalshould be shelved for the forseeable future. This morning in Hartford before 300 business leaders, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2, said that [...]
Senate President Don Williams, D-Brooklyn, continues to show why he is a Dead man Walking politically. This morning he is going to hold a third press conference on the impact of cutting spending by implying that the Life Star emergency helicopter system would grounded if [...]
It’s never a good day when the White House allows a Cabinet Secretary to throw up a white flag on a signature issue of its Presidency. Barely 12 hours after Health and Human Services Secretary Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had raised the idea that the “public option” would [...]
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal continues to abuse his office in new and inventive ways. Witness Wednesday’s dog and pony showwith the hapless Kevin Lembo, the state’s Advocate for Patient’s Rights, on the evils of the insurance industry.
As is often the case, Blumenthal makes statements about the state [...]
Seems that August will be a pretty quiet month on the Town Hall meeting front. While U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2, had a small event at Woodstock Academy and U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-5, held forth in a Stop N Shop parking lot in Simsbury, there has [...]
House and Senate Republicans rolled out a new budget proposal Thursday that does not raise taxes and provides essential services and funding to cities and towns.
House Republican Leader Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk and Senate Republican Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, explained their “real world budget” plan at a [...]
Sadly, the Connecticut Republican Party doesn’t have the money to buy seven chicken suits. Actually, five suits would do since we wish U.S. Rep. John Larson, CT-1, and U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd full recoveries from their medical procedures.
The rest of the able bodied Democratic members of [...]
Today marks the greatest day in Ronald Reagan’s Presidency. Many have argued other moments as more significant highlights, but Reagan’s actions against the militant air traffic controllers on August 3rd, showed the nation and the world what the Gipper was made of – steel.
It is an instructive moment to [...]
Word today is that Sen. Chris Dodd has an early stage 0f prostate cancer.
The Senator told the Hartford Courant he will have surgery during the August recess and recuperate at home.
“It’s something that’s very common among men my age,” said Dodd, who is 65 and [...]
Even though the Iron Curtain has fallen, comrades and commissars will be gathering at the State Capitol to relive their glory day’s of class warfare and the next five-year plan.

While supporters of U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd continue to spout a string of denials, the Associated Press story Monday about the testimony of a Countrywide Financial loan officer who completed two mortgages for the senator is not good news for the Dodd camp.
