“You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if you’ve [...]

The election drama in Massachusetts climaxed with Republican Scott Brown’s victory to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat, a first time in a long time since a Republican represented the Bay State in the Senate. Although Sen. Brown shares an exciting “dark horse” story against his opponent Martha Coakley, there’s an even more intriguing [...]

Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) has a theory: his own party’s leaders are behind the ethics investigation to force his resignation. According to the embattled congressman, House leaders and the White House weren’t too happy about his nay votes on health care and cap and trade, and have figured that getting rid of him would be [...]

Paterson, allegations [...]

The current ObamaCare proposal does not satisfy some Democrats because of the abortion issue, and these members of Congress have publicly declared their opposition to the bill. Again, it is Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) leading the charge:
“Yes. We’re prepared to take responsibility,” Stupak said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” when asked if he and his [...]

Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston (R) was among the few Republicans in attendance during President Obama’s visit to Savannah on Tuesday to talk about jobs and energy. The other prominent Republican was Gov. Sonny Perdue who isn’t running for re-election. Some would question the wisdom of Rep. Kingston’s decision to be seen side by side with [...]

After being found in violation by the House ethics panel, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) may soon (as in Wednesday) lose his chairmanship of the powerful Ways and Means Committee.

The news just keeps getting worse for New York Gov. David Paterson… Not only has a scandal involving his aide cost him his re-election, but now as more details emerge Paterson may be facing criminal charges:

Our president, the Great Campaigner, is losing his magic touch. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), hoping to gain some traction in his re-election bid by inviting President Obama to his state for a joint appearance, remains unmoved in the latest polls:
But as Reid faces an uphill path to win re-election to a fifth Senate term, Obama’s [...]

Rep. John Linder (R-GA) is retiring after 18 years of serving his constituents. A notable fiscal conservative, he’s known as a major proponent of the FairTax and have co-authored a couple of books on the subject. It’s a shame that the FairTax proposal hasn’t gained much traction in Congress and that no significant tax reform [...]

Actions speak louder than words, and as much as Democrats decry accusations pinning them as national security softies, there’s a very good reason for it. Consider what the House Democrats tried to sneak into the intelligence authorization bill:
Democrats inserted an 11-page addition into the bill late Wednesday night as the House Rules Committee considered the [...]

After insisting on going through re-election, New York Gov. David Paterson will now abandon his re-election hopes but will serve out his current term. The Democrat establishment always had somebody else in mind for that job: Andrew Cuomo. I think the establishment finally got what it wanted with the revelation of a scandal:
Paterson has been [...]
