Mattress Answer Man Speaks |

Yesterday In response to President Obahma’s predictable decision on The Keystone XL Pipeline  the Republicans as usual gave a scathing account of his politicizing the outcome. In addition to wasting our money and time by summoning Hillary to be berated by them they will ignor the possible danger to the water supply of a large area of the country. Boehner(Ohio),Griffin(Arkansas),Cantor(Virginia),Hensarling(Texas 5),Lipton(Michigan),Terry(Nebraska 2),Capito(W Virginia),And Blackburn(Tennessee) each gave an official response . They accused the President of playing politics. Seems to me that when only 2 of these folks are from states where the pipeline will pass, neither of those from a... Read More

I read an article written by Chris Moody on The Ticket today. It was written about the ideas of  Govenor Perry wrote from his book “Fed Up”. In the piece Chris breaks down those things that the then not a candidate (Governor of the closest to hell conditions state we have) would change.

I see where John Boehner is back on the its our way or shut the country down road. It has been common knowledge that some of the new Tea Party group were not going to vote to increase the debt limit. You have argued for the raising of the debt limit in the past so we know you can get the between 78 and 100 of your own party votes you will need to get it done.

If you raise it many of you will not get through your own primary. Please keep up your rhetoric about Medicare and Medicaid going. Your party has really missed th... Read More
