First, I do want to say that I do want some kind of Universal Health Care. With that being said I have many questions that I want answered about the bills that are out there. There are lies and distortions on both sides, and we rational minded people suffer because of the few. I feel [...]

“… and who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled of course. The America that I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with down syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “Death Panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, [...]

…Well, according to El Rushbo I am:
I could make an argument that conservatism is closer to Nazism than liberalism, but then I’d be implying that several of my close conservative friends are Nazis and I’d be no better than Rush. So, I’ll just break down Limbaugh’s obviously heavily researched analysis of [...]

Is Limbaugh really that prideful? Would he honestly rather see the country continue to spiral downward into a depression than see it prosper and have to confess he was wrong on the matter? Would he rather see millions of his fellow citizens continue to be laid off and struggle to find a new job, and in doing so have difficulty paying the bills and feeding their families? Those are the implications of a failed stimulus plan. Would he really want this recession to prolong for another three years into 2012 so that a Republican can win the election and save this country with tax cuts? Tax cuts that probably wouldn’t show results for another year or so into this hypothetical administration? It sure seems like Mr. Limbaugh wants Americans to suffer for another five to six years just so he and his cronies can say they were right.

The Daily Kos weekly tracking poll reveals- surprise, surprise- that Democrats are just slightly more popular than Republicans these days. And by “just slightly” I mean “substantially and significantly.”

To illustrate his wariness of federal intervention, Jindal highlights Hurricane Katrina. That’s fine. The government performed woefully. But who was president during Katrina? George W. Bush, right? I think that’s his name. To what party did he belong? Oh, that’s right. Whoops.
So, because the Republicans botched their opportunity to provide federal aid the Democrats shouldn’t have a chance? Jindal seems to go even further than that, seemingly saying that neither party should take action. If Jindal runs for president in 2012, how will he justify such a call to inaction?

Which brings me to the essential question: Why would Roland Burris do this to himself? He has obviously contradicted his stories. He did not reveal his contact with Mr. Blagojavich’s brother. His legitimacy as a Sentaorial appointment depended upon his reputation and honesty. His honesty has now been questioned and his reputation has been tarnished. Some deal, huh?

But let’s face it, bipartisanship is an ideal. The American political party system is essentially a conquest for power and the acquiring of more power, as shown in history by both parties. Do you think the Democrats are happy they have 58 seats in the Senate right now? Heck no! I don’t think they’d be happy with 70. Maybe not even 80. And if the Republicans were in the majority right now, they’d be the same way.

Thanks to YouTube {Here: Go to 4:03 for best part]
People continue to shock me. It is astounding to me that these people we elect care so little about us that they play Jr. High games within Congress. Last night, while hearing the news come in that the bill had not passed, [...]

Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin continues to express her passion for politics. Today, she recalled her awareness of politics at a very young age:
She previously had called attention to Sen. Joe Biden’s many, many years in Washington as a senator from Delaware — not seen as a strong selling point these days — by noting [...]
