Republican Debate Tonight
Did you know there are twelve more Republican debates after tonights? I wish there were that many football games left. Here's what I'm anticipating, some good, some not good - - Huntsman is not appearing. He doesn't have a chance in the Republican primary anyway, he's far to liberal or moderate in this Year of … Continue reading Republican Debate Tonight

Get It Done This Week
From "A guide to the fight over the 'Bush tax cuts" is his snippet - "We could get [tax cuts] done this week, but we're still in this wrestling match with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell about the last 2 to 3 percent" of upper-income taxpayers, Obama said. So, Mr. President, get 'er done. Stop … Continue reading Get It Done This Week
Fourth Quarter GDP Growth Soars 5.7 Percent
Fourth Quarter GDP Growth Soars 5.7 Percent. Or at least, that's what the news media and the government would have us believe. Yippee, the recession is over. Except I don't believe it. I see no evidence of it. I think I'm being lied to. Do you believe what you're being told?

Nuts vs. Creeps
I love this paragraph from Peggy Noonan today: Speaking broadly: In the 2006 and 2008 elections, and at some point during the past decade, the ancestral war between Democrats and the Republicans began to take on a new look. If you were a normal human sitting at home having a beer and watching national politics … Continue reading Nuts vs. Creeps
Kay Bailey Hutchison Loses a Voter
That's it. Kay Bailey Hutchison will never get another vote from me. Socially issues, she's ok. The positions she's taken on abortion are mixed but generally pro-life, though the inconsistency indicates she's voting pragmatically instead of from principles. She gets a 7% rating from NARAL indicating she's pro-life, and a 75% rating from NRLC which … Continue reading Kay Bailey Hutchison Loses a Voter
America Rising

C-Span and Healthcare
Obama, at a debate against Hillary Clinton, January 31, 2008: "That's what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are." C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb, to Congress December 30: … Continue reading C-Span and Healthcare
US Government Will Tax You to Kill Children
Yet another reason the US Government should not be in the healthcare business. Here's the links you need to know - Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed. Health and Human Services provides abortions under Nancy Pelosi's 2,032 page monstrosity of socialistic healthscare. See Section 222, page 110, line 17. Abortion Premiums.

Texas Election Information for 2009
Katy Tea Party has provided a nice summary of issues and candidates for the 2009 Election. Don't just site there. Vote. I use to tell people to vote, regardless of your political persuasion. No more. If you're a liberal entitlement-loving big government sap on productive and conservative freedom-loving Americans, stay home. So there.
Healthscare
I hope the new healthscare bill dies quickly. All the horrors we expected are in the bill. For the first 10 years, it's expected to cost $1,055,000,000,000.00. After that, it gets expensive. To keep it "affordable," most the the healthscare bill doesn't take effect for 5 years. Give me a 20 year estimate of the … Continue reading Healthscare
Obama Fiddled While Rome Burned
Obama fiddled while Rome burned. WASHINGTON — Michelle and Barack Obama sat one table over from J.

I had a discussion this past week with a fairly "progressive" client on a wide variety of topics. Mostly cordial, of course. He was the client. One of his positions was that access to healthcard should be a right, not a privilege. I took the position that while I agree that individuals should be given … Continue reading Die Quickly
The Solution to Illegal Immigration and Healthcare
Problem: Should illegal immigrants get free healthcare? Obama's solution: Just make them all legal. There, all fixed now. President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.
45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul
I was at the Post Office yesterday to pick up a certified letter. I was there for a little over an hour; there were 40 people in line, 2 clerks helping, and 1 supervisor watching both clerks. All I could think of is that I don't want my appointment with a doctor to golike this. … Continue reading 45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul
Canned Pork
My favorite entry in the Recovery.org "stimulous" spending so far: $16,784,272 for canned pork. $16 million dollars is a lot of money for pork, but what do you expect from Congress? Please, Congress, you can stop helping now.
California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics
Kevin Hassett's article is funny and sad. Sad becuse it's true; funny because of his observations. Sample of funny: The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could … Continue reading California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics

Conservative, Moderate, or Liberal?
I'm amazed by two things - 1) Conservatives outnumber liberals by 2:1 (the newsmedia implies otherwise) 2) We have a very liberal President. I remain convinced the reasons the Republicans lost is because because they tried to appeal to liberals. I am a conservative. Who can I vote for that will represent my values? Reagan … Continue reading Conservative, Moderate, or Liberal?

Obama Urges Spending Curbs for Somebody, But Not Him
Associated Press headline, "Obama urges spending curbs, hands out $15 billion." After not quite a month in office, I've begun to change my opinion on the President. I thought at first he was a useful idiot, a tool of the powerful Democrat Spending Machine. I no longer think he's useful, and "idiot" may be too … Continue reading Obama Urges Spending Curbs for Somebody, But Not Him

Tea Party
And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party

Biggest Spending Package in the History of the World

Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
From Obama's speech last night - Most economists almost unanimously recognize that, even if philosophically you’re — you’re wary of government intervening in the economy, when you have the kind of problem we have right now — what started on Wall Street, goes to Main Street, suddenly businesses can’t get credit, they start paring back … Continue reading Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
Stimulus Plan Kills Older People
Ok, so that's a scare title. But not by much.Buried deep in the so-called Stimulus Plan are new government-mandated health-care restrictions. Here are some snippets - The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system.

Rejecting the Arrogance
In this morning's Washington Post, Obama wrote that the Stimulus Package (which is horrendously misleading as there is far more liberal pet socialist programs than stimulus in the package) must be passed immediately or puppies will die. No time to read it, just sign it. But then he includes this phrase - "I reject these … Continue reading Rejecting the Arrogance
"Stimulus" Bill Now Tops $900 Billion
Congress is sapping any possibility of US productivity for generations to come. Only a fraction of this so-called "stimulus" bill actually stimulates the economy. The vast majority of it is increased government oversight and additional government programs. By taking such a whopping amount from the American people, the US government is stifling productivity of the … Continue reading "Stimulus" Bill Now Tops $900 Billion

Executive Kill Orders
Obama's first executive orders are about to gives us a hint what the next four years will be like. Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities. One of Bush's first acts was to reinstate full abortion restrictions on U.S. overseas aid. The restrictions were first ordered by President Reagan and … Continue reading Executive Kill Orders
What Did We Learn?
Obama beat McCain handily, 349 to 163 electoral votes. What we should have learned, I don't know that we did.

The Scariest Part of Tuesday's Election
It can be summed up in this little quote: Democrats are looking ahead to expanded power. New New Deal. Unfettered ability to impose government oversight, appoint activist judges, raise taxes, and spend whatever they want on whatever they want. I am so not looking forward to the next 4 years.
Rob from the Rich, Stiff the Poor, Too

My post was going to be about how Obama's strategy results in … Continue reading Rob from the Rich, Stiff the Poor, Too
Bailouts and Earmarks
As we all know by now, Congress failed to pass the Bailout Bill on Monday for $700 billion (a number, apparently, the US Treasury just made up).

Targeting Religious Voters
I must be a target, then.

Neither of the candidates appeal to me from a spiritual conviction. McCain can be downright … Continue reading Targeting Religious Voters
EU Elects Obama President
Ok, I admit. I just don't get it. Why is Obama campaigning in Europe? It's apparent from yesterday's new he's won the German vote, and today he's going after the French vote. He's sure to win since McCain isn't campaigning there. Is he trying to become President of the European Union?
FAA Strands Thousands of Passengers
You've probably read that American Airlines cancelled thousands of flights. I blame the government for a combination of ineptitude and heavyhandedness.

Killing Immigration Reform
It's almost dead. Let's hope it keeps dying. The immigration "reform" bill which basically opens the door to a flood of illegal immigration is hitting some roadblocks.

The headline reads "Bush Seeks Better Ties in Latin America." From the picture, you can see why. George Bush is wearing no tie at all, most likely embarrased by his current tie selection.

The failure of … Continue reading Ah, to be more like the rest of the civilized world…..

While I expected the Democrats to make inroads, I'm shocked at how big they are. The Democrats didn't have any real coherent position except "We're against everything Bush."

The Democrats? 42.3% said "opposition to the … Continue reading Character Counts

Yup, that just about killed John Kerry's chances of being President in 2008. First he insulted the troops, saying that if you're stupid you get stuck in Iraq.

Then Kerry claimed it was … Continue reading Help Us Jon Cary We R Stuk in Irak
