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. You and your party are in a no win spot. If you don’t raise the debt limit your actions will increase the deficit by accelerating the time our interest rates will go up. 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

I was watching Morning Joe today and when they were talking about the resurrection I missed the part about Ronald Regan. The congress had to take time to extend the committee that is handling the year long birthday party (Christ gets one day plus 52 Sundays).  We were also told that the tax payers weren’t paying for the group, about thirty five times and it wasn’t costing the taxpayers anything.  Not counting anything but wages for representatives  174000/1730 (number of day in a year x 2 to make 1/2 day) x 435  (number of representatives)=43,751 dollars with no opposition? Would the Republicans agree to work like the rest of us and only get paid by the Federal Government whe... Read More

I can go to the MSNBC stars blogs ED Schultz, Ratchell Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell (The Last Word), or if you like Democratic light there is Chris Matthews (Hardball) and Republican light Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe).

These performers will usually report the news with a slant that I favor but then there I am with the problem and no answer. If that were my goal I could be a Republican and get the added emotion of hatred. To s0lve my cravings a little web searching was necessary. To save others time I thought I would share some of my findings.  The first places of interest can be found for a Sena... Read More

I awake most mornings to watch c-span. I have an open mind as long as you agree with me. If you have read any of my prior posts you already know Fox News is not my favorite place to find any sanity. It has finally passed the credibility of the floor speeches in the house. Last year the Republicans screamed that they had no input into the bills that were passed. We who watched know that this was false. In committee they did get to input and like they are doing now it was their way or the highway. Having no power they not only lost while the Democrats worked like an eger beaver and passed a multitude of laws that helped both Republicans and Democrats . Now we get to the don’t waste my ti...
