What an encouraging sign we’re seeing in Massachusetts! Sam Meas’ campaign volunteers gathered more than 5,000 raw signatures and more than 4,000 of them certified by the State. This makes Meas the candidate with the most signatures going into September’s GOP primary. If he wins that then it’s onto November against incumbent Niki Tsongas (D): [...]

Did President Obama or somebody in the White House offer Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) something in return for him to drop out of the primary race against Rep. Arlen Specter? Yes, said Sestak in an interview when he first leaked the news. On Friday (of course, right before a long weekend — slow news day) [...]

As chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, count Rep. David Obey (D-WI) as one of the top influential forces in Congress. The fact that he’s ready to walk away from it all after a 41-year House career — what does this mean for the Democrats in November? “I am ready to turn the page, and [...]

ObamaCare passed to the dismay of many as the majority of Americans got a taste of their electoral fruit. The opposition Republican Party was helpless in stopping the health care train wreck because it didn’t have the numbers to prevent it. You are what you eat, and your country is what you elect. Now this [...]

The Democrats are disgustingly sneaky in their politics… In order to make the health care bill more acceptable to doctors and to appear more deficit neutral in CBO scoring, the Democrats have a plan to put back the “doc fix” later — after passage of the overall reform bill. Politico has obtained a memo exclusively [...]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate health care bill in the House, so she’s instructed Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), chair of the House Rules Committee, to be creative to circumvent the legislative process we know very well — voting. Yes, the wuss Democrats are afraid of being accountable [...]

Do you want evidence of Nancy Pelosi’s crazy, progressive, elitist thought process? Here’s what she had to say during a speech to the National Association of Counties about the current health care bill the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress: “You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if [...]

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 [...]

Edwards, caught in the act of an extramarital affair and asking his aide to be public daddy to his daughter out of wedlock. Gore, recipient of the Nobel Peace prize for his work to bring awareness of man-made global warming, but after hackers exposed conspiring climate scientists we now know Gore was full of it. [...]

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. Not only are the Republicans pressuring speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to strip Rangel of the position, but many Democrats — especially those facing re-election this year [...]

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 House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has found Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) to be in ethics violation stemming from trips he took to the Caribbean: The House ethics panel has been investigating several trips taken by Mr. Rangel and several other Democratic lawmakers in 2007 and 2008. The investigation looked at travel by Mr. [...]

Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) was the only Republican in the House to vote yes on the health care bill, but will not do so again in the president’s latest proposal. His gripe? Abortion funding: “I have conveyed to the White House that at this point I cannot support the agenda that’s being pushed because of [...]
