Senate GOP Shows Some Muscle and Blocks Mortgage Bill Beltway Politics, Campaign '08, Congress, Democrats, Spending | (2)
Despite not having the majority that they would like in the Senate, Republican Senators have done a fairly good job of flexing the muscle they have in terms of blocking pieces of legislation that could have an extremely negative impact on the economy. Of these key pieces blocked is what some Democrats believe would be the “second round of economic stimulus” for the lagging US economy. This bill that the Democrats tried to push through the Senate essentially does what they are known for, creating more programs and more problems. Just like any bad piece of legislation that makes its way through the ...

Good Move by the GOP Across the US, Beltway Politics, Campaign '08, RNC | (2)
I'm pleased to see that Mike Duncan has stepped in to regulate what has simply become an annoying series of statements being made by some prominent Republican leaders and figureheads. From CNN: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan formally denounced on Thursday the Tennessee Republican Party's use of Barack Obama's full name in a recent news release questioning the Illinois senator's commitment to Israel. "The RNC rejects these kinds of campaign tactics," Duncan said in a statement. "We believe this election needs to be about the critical issues confronting our nation." Amen! In such a close race, the GOP's image cannot be ...

I keep wondering about the Ron Paul supporters Across the US, Activism, Campaign '08 | (4)
Everyone knows that Ron Paul isn't going to be the next President of the United States, but despite that he still has a strong army of dedicated volunteers and activists who are ready to go at the drop of the hat to do whatever the campaign needs.Yes, some of his ideas are quite "out there," and yes, he seems like a quirky guy at times. But the fact that he has built such a grassroots army, of what seem to be strong conservative and libertarian activists is something that Republican's cannot overlook. I came across this video today on youtube: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE1gRDb8VN0[/youtube] Even though ...

Interesting Obama Video Across the US, Campaign '08, Democrats, RNC |
It's no Obama girl, but I still kinda like it. I really hope the GOP comes out with some creative videos, we need something more appealing to the younger Republicans. McCain has an interesting background, and while I'm sure a song like "I'm Hustlin" isn't the best fit, there has to be something! .... if only I were a little more creative...

Robert Byrd Continues to Fascinate Me Beltway Politics, Congress, Democrats |
While there is no doubt in my mind that when it comes to policy and political style, Robert Byrd isn't going to rank anywhere near the top on my list of favorites, but I have to be honest, when it comes to his dedication to serving in the Senate, he wins hands down. Just like Strom Thurmond (who would be #1 on my list if he were still alive), Byrd loves the Senate and all that it has to offer. Even at the age of 90, and with broken bones, he's still planning on making a return to the Senate: From the ...
