House Democrat proposes taxing ATM transactions

Democrats are still singing the same ol’ tune in our deficit problem, and that is raising more taxes. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) introduces H.R. 4646, misguidedly named “Debt Free America Act,” which would take one percent of each financial transaction. That means each sale of a good or service, and even ATM withdrawals. Lanny Davis [...]

The spill in Pennsylvania

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?

After disappointing primaries, Democrats look to unions for November help

The results of Tuesday’s primaries in KY, PA, and AR have sent shockwaves to both the GOP and Democrat Party. Tea Party-endorsed Rand Paul, son of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) defeated the GOP establishment’s Trey Grayson in Kentucky. In Pennsylvania’s Democrat primary, ex-RINO and party flip-flopper Arlen Specter lost to Joe Sestak, thereby ending his [...]

Spectacular end for Specter?

Political opportunist Sen. Arlen Specter chose to abandon the Republican Party to join the Democrats in hopes of keeping his job as senator from Pennsylvania. It appears he gravely miscalculated the odds and voter sentiment because his poll numbers are trailing way behind against former Rep. Pat Toomey (R): Former Republican Rep. Pat Toomey has [...]

Specter masters art of rear-kissing

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) is a true politician. After switching to the Democrat Party a few weeks ago, he now kisses up to one of his many bosses, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), by defending her in the whole lied-by-CIA brouhaha: “The current controversy involving Speaker Pelosi and the CIA is very unfortunate, in my [...]

Specter not doing so well as a Democrat

Sen. Alen Specter (D-PA) isn’t doing very well as a new Democrat. Did Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) promise him seniority upon departing the Republican Party? Well, it isn’t happening! Specter’s Democrat peers aren’t granting him the seniority as he’d hoped for. Now he’ll just be a senate junior Democrat, his influence greatly limited. His [...]

Sen. Alan Specter to switch parties

The RINO Senator from Pennsylvania will change his party affiliation to the Democrats. After Al Franken (D-MN) gets seated, Sen. Specter will give the Democrats their filibuster proof majority of 60. Sen. Specter is a walking case study in political expediency. But it’s really no surprise. His voting record shows more similarities to the Democrats’ [...]

Where would Gitmo prisoners go?

Okay, so President Obama has chosen closing Gitmo as a top priority. Any logical leader would actually understand that before such a daunting task should come a plan as to where to put the prisoners. No Congressman except Jack Murtha (D-PA) has publicly voiced accepting them to his state of Pennsylvania (without approval from his [...]
