Teach mention the issue with Hastert having a hissy fit over the search of Rep. William Jefferson’s (D-La) Capital Hill office. He is still freaking out. As John Hawkins at Right Wing News points out: Moreover, trying to use the Constitution as a shield in this case is pure bunk. If you look at Article […]

From the AP: WASHINGTON – The FBI‘s weekend search of the House office of a Louisiana Democrat under investigation for bribery may have overstepped Constitutional boundaries, House leaders said as the congressman under investigation pledged to stay in office.

This pretty much sums up the 2006 Democratic Platform: So in conclusion, how do we win? RUN AGAINST BUSH. Make this election about two things: 1) change; 2) bringing balance to the government. And run in as many districts and states as we possibly can. This to me seems to be a winning strategy. In […]

Maybe some of the Republicans are finally listening (h/t GottaShoutIt): On May 18th, 2006, the U.S. Senate approved an amendment offered by Sen. James Inhofe that would make English the national language of the United States. The amendment, offered as part of comprehensive immigration reform legislation, passed by a margin of 63-34. The measure declares that […]

From Kerry’s Senate website: Tomorrow John Kerry will offer an amendment to the Immigration Reform Bill to add 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents — bringing the total up to 3,000 new agents this year – plus add an additional 100 helicopters and 250 power boats to secure America’s borders.   “This is a moment when […]

Now, I guess some on the Right are annoyed by W’s speech as being pandered to, to put it mildly. Some call it a token gesture. Quite frankly, after a long time of the Conservatives being ignored on this issue, I’m ready to be pandered to. And, at least it is a start. But what […]

Bwahahahahahaha (via Martin at MVRWC through newsalert from the NY Slimes) The political situation has not helped some of the more prominent members of the Democratic Party. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who was Mr. Bush’s opponent in 2004, had a lower approval rating than Mr. Bush: 26 percent, down from 40 percent in a poll […]
