Congresswoman Pelosi

Congresswoman Pelosi says that she is trying to save the planet. Someone should point out to her, that she could not destroy the planet, no matter how hard she tried. So, how arrogant of her to believe she can save it.

Great slogans that define a campaign

Sometimes a campaign slogan says it all.

I am attending the Netroots Nation convention in Austin, Texas and stopped by the exibit booth of Nick Carter who is running for the US Senate in the state of Wyoming...yes a/k/a the home state of our VP Dick Cheney.

But you would know that by his campaign slogan alone...MAKE DICK SEE RED...TURN HIS HOME STATE BLUE.

Good luck future senator...

We live in a political world,
Love don't have any place.
We're living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face

Never underestimate the stupidity of the voting public.

News from Texas.

The democratic primary for US senate had three contestants. Richard Noriega, a congressman. Ray McMurrey, a school teacher and Gene Kelly an attorney, not the dancer from the movies.

The results were as follows: Noriega 51%, Kelly 27% anf McMurrey 12%.

Noriega was expected to win. He did.

Now to the other two. McMurrey, although running in his first race for office actively campaigned acros the state; debated Noriega and poured his heart and soul into the race. Sooo...who did he come in second to?

Failure by Filibuster

It’s the end of the year and a good time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished over the last year. What were you hoping the Democratically-controlled Senate would have accomplished in 2007?

Ray McMurrey for US Senate

He is taking on Senator Cornyn. David vs Goliath to be sure, but give the guy credit for his passion.

Other mortals have tried to infiltrate the establishment without much success, but it is good to see that there are people left who will not give up on the goal of returning the political process to the people.

An Opinionated Bloggers Creed

I am possibly the most opinionated individual you are apt to run into. That being said, I’ll launch into one of my favorite subjects, ”Professional Entertainers”. By my definition, a professional entertainer is one who entertains the public and gets paid for it. Now that's pretty straight forward. This embraces actors, athletes, and anyone who gets paid by the public as they ply their trade.

Where's this going? Its really simple, actors use makeup and costumes and phony accents. Athletes use costumes and pharmaceuticals to enhance their performance.

Cookin' Oatmeal

As a writer, I frequently fall back on using a analogy to make a point. Today is one of those times.

The analogy is comparing what the United States needs to help settle world peace as compared to cooking oatmeal on top of a gas stove.

"Do Senators Vote Anymore?"

The following are not my words, just my research.

The quote is from Parade Magazine’s Intelligence Report, of October 21, @007.

QUOTE:

In one recent week, the Senate passed 153 bills--without voting on a single one. Instead, the measures were “hotlined,” or approved by what's called, “unanimous consent”.

How it works: Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, and Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, agree to pass a bill.
