Government Motors Resumes Political Payoffs

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you aren’t enraged yet by Democrats’ nationalization of General Motors, maybe this will do the trick: General Motors Co. has begun to once again contribute to political campaigns, lifting a self-imposed ban on political spending put in place during the auto maker’s U.S.-financed bankruptcy restructuring last year. The Detroit company gave $90,500 to candidates […]

 

Obama to Dumb Down Car Ratings Stickers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier this month the Obama administration floated a trial balloon about changing the way vehicle information stickers on new cars would be structured. The administration floated the idea of letter grades instead of the more full information that vehicle stickers now contain. The most fuel-efficient would get and “A” rating with less green cars having […]

 

Newt Gingrich: Winning in ’10 Means Utilizing the Power of 10

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Joe Biden has been telling everyone that will listen to him that the summer of 2010 was “recovery summer.” In a way he was right, but only if we take up the banner and drive the socialists out of office in November. If we can get as many good conservatives and Republicans in office in […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“I think people underestimate how disastrous this could be,” says a Democrat Congressional staffer who worries over losing his job once all the new Republicans sweep into Congress after the November elections.

Whenever I think of this new Staples sports stadium deal going down in Los Angeles I can’t help but think of the “bread and circuses” that contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Recovery Summer Becomes “Eh, Maybe The Jobs’ll Come Back In A Few Years”

Posted on by William Teach

As more and more media outlets publish stories about just how bad the economy is, particularly the unemployment situation, I wonder if they will finally place the blame where it belongs, namely, on President Obama and the elected Democrats? You know that they will certainly blame Republicans in the House, which they are sure to […]

$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs. After all many states still had $30 billion of the previous stimulus that […]

 

‘Tax Extenders’ Bill: Another Democrat Bailout of Special Interests

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The so-called “tax extenders” bill that was initially part of the unemployment package that Congress passed last month is still on the table. It was separated from the unemployment bill because the GOP opposed its inclusion and for good reason. It is little else but a sop to special interests and big corporations. The Democrats […]

 

Ohio’s Dem. Gov. Gave Stimulus $$ to Co. That Exported Jobs to El Salvador

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What was it that Democrat President Barack Obama told us about the stimulus? Oh, yeah that it would “save or create” American jobs. Seems like a good idea, right? So what happened in Ohio when Democrat Governor Ted Strickland got his mitts on some of Obama’s stimulus cash? Why he gave it to a company […]

 

Paul Krugman: You Anti-Government Folks Are To Blame For State/Local Money Problems

Posted on by William Teach

If it’s a day ending in a “y”, it must be a day where an inside the beltway mentality liberal is making an absurd argument, casting blame, naming problems, but, unable to provide any rationale for his/her solutions. Over at Powerline, Paul eviscerates Excitable Matthew Yglesias over Matty’s ridiculous “Summer of Fear” opinion piece in […]

Democrats: Say, Let’s Exempt Rich People in Blue States From Tax Hike!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If this doesn’t exemplify the left’s propensity to act in the mode of for-thee-but-not-me, nothing does. The Wall Street Journal (by way of the Wash. Examiner’s Mark Hemingway) reports that at least one Democrat has suddenly realized that when the Bush tax cuts fade away his state will be hit by a massive tax hike […]

 

Confirmed: Bailout Loot Went Overseas

Posted on by Dave Blount

Our rulers are transnationalist. When they pass our money around to their buddies, it doesn’t matter to them whether it ends up in this country or another — as the crony capitalists at Goldman Sachs confirm: Goldman Sachs received a $12.9 billion payout from the government’s bailout of AIG, which was at one time the […]

 

Recess missing one key demand from the Obama/Pelosi Led House

: : : : : : : : : : :  The one thing Obama seemed to pride himself on was that his legislative majority, especially in the house, was behind him.:  When ObamaCare was signed into law, it was called a triumph by many of the liberal Representatives who supported it.:  However, when it came to actually supporting it on their land via health-care […]

 

Financial Reform? More Like Union Giveaways!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Thursday the Senate passed the Democrat’s financial reform bill. But even as Obama claims that this bill will “solve” the financial crisis, a look at the thing seems to prove that things financial took a back seat to giveaways to Obama’s union pals and sops to many of the Democrat’s other special interest friends.

Democrat Governors’ Reason for Fear of the Immigration Lawsuit Shows How Power Hungry the DNC Is

Posted on by Heather Bachman

While the statement may bring a sigh of relief to some who are happy to see that at least our state leaders know what really needs attention, deeper within their rejection of the lawsuit, you see nothing but the dangerous hunger of the liberals. Despite this lawsuit being an example of a nation attacking itself […]
