Democrats Pass Trillion Dollar Scam
Filed Under National | Leave a Comment
The so called stimulus bill that the Democrat Congress just passed is beyond words to describe. It is the largest spending bill in history, almost a thousand pages long. No member of Congress has yet admitted to having read the whole thing prior to voting on it to our knowledge. Obama and the newly empowered Democrats have confirmed all of our worst fears. They have rammed through Congress at breakneck speed a bill which includes every pet project the Dems couldn’t get passed in the last decade. They have spent more money in this weekend alone, than the Bush Administration spent in 7 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan! It is filled with pork, pet projects and political payback. Change we can believe in? Anytime you think the Republicans have lost their mind with spending, just wait and the Democrats will show you what real spending is like. Read more

Bunning, Should He Run Or Not?
Filed Under Opinion/Editorial | 2 Comments
The question being asked by many in Republican circles both in and out of Kentucky is should Sen. Jim Bunning run for a third term in 2010? Four years ago the same question was asked. In fact a smear campaign was conducted by the media and press as to Bunning’s mental fitness due to age. Well, the perpetrators of those rumors later proven false, never apologized and were never held to account for the blatant biased smear they conducted. So before we get to the question of whether Bunning should run again, shouldn’t we first revisit the scene of the crime four years ago and uncover the agenda behind the smear against Bunning to defeat him? It had nothing to do with his ability and everything to do with his political philosophy. He was a conservative from a southern state and we all know how liberals and leftists hate conservatives and the south. Read more
