Warning To Republican Officeholders

It is one of SwamiDave's undenialble truths: "Perspective is closely linked to Proximity; Things are rarely as good or as bad as they seem!"  That reality has not been more evident than events over the past 12-18 months.  Seemingly 12 months ago, the political punditry were busily delivering eulogies for Conservatism while many Conservatives were behaving as if they were friendless hermits drudging through a lonely, miserable existence.  With recent electoral events, many of those same talking heads are declaring an inevitable Conservative tsunami i

Citizens United v. FEC

In his State of the Union speech, President Obama took the occasion to challenge one of the most recent Supreme Court decisions with the Justices sitting right in front of him.  Voicing his displeasure like some badgering school marm while the Justices were largely acting in their historic respectful and non-partisan demeanor, the President went so far as to misrepresent one of the crucial points of the majority decision. 
 

Deficit Reality

In case you missed it last week, President Obama became aware that deficits are growing at an astronomical pace during his time in office.  In something of a reprise of his role as Candidate Obama (the quasi-moderate) who waxed metaphorically of how American cannot continue "to spend money that we don't have as if it is Monopoly money", the now-President announced that his budget would freeze spending.
 

Congratulations, An Issue To Stand On

Healthcare reform is stalled.......a Jobs Bill is encountering obstacles......Cap-N-Trade is going nowhere......another Stima-Spendulous is questionable........the American economy is still bleeding jobs at a rapid pace.......Deficits are growing at levels unimaginable just 12 months ago......
 

Thoughts On State Of The Union

On at least one thing, the President was right: We the American People do not give up; we do not quit!  Remember that Mr.

From the Never-Learn File

Fresh with a still-stinging boot print along their posterior after Senator-Elect Scott Brown (R-MA) election one week ago, it seems as though many liberal Democrats are still trying to envision and plan a path by which they can circumvent the normal legislative process and gain passage of their over-reaching Healthcare Deform legislation.  Voices from the kook-left fringe and current party leadership appear unfazed in their calls to force through what voters in Massachusetts (specifically) and nationwide (based on most all current polling) are now shouting that they do not want.

Ellie Light "AstroTurfing"

As the "Tea Party" phenomenom was gathering steam during 2009, Democrats (trying to belittle this motivated and active opposition) coined a new dismissive: "AstroTurfing".  This term was used as a insult calling to question the "Grassroots" nature of this opposition to Healthcare "Deform" and the other myriad of socialist schemes.  According to this perspective, such active opposition was "ginned up" and "manufactured" among a bunch of supposedly "mindless" followers in response to Pied-Piper guidance from Conse

Be Thankful You Are A Democrat - Round Two

Less than a week since Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was the fodder of political discussions with his quoted statements about how then-Candidate Obama acted in a stereotypical manner when it politically suited him, another Senate (now) Democrat, Arlen Specter (D-PA) is tossing his hat in the "Be-Glad-You-Are-A-Democrat" sweepstakes for boneheaded statements.  In a radio interview with Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (R-MN), the Senator, on more than on occasion, told the Congresswoman that "I am going to treat you like a lady....now act like one!"  If

The Race For November Begins Today

Make no mistake; the 2010 mid-term elections began today!  Former Clinton political advisor and current FOX News contributor, Dick Morris introduced an article today with the following artillery volley: "Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat, which means any Republican can win at any time in any place."  Such is the political reality when one views that a Republican (-a Republican State Senator-)  won a state-wide race against the sitting State Attorney General in perhaps the bluest of Blue S
