Only a Democrat would propose cutting and freezing Congress’ yearly wage!

Congresswoman Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick has brought forth a bill to cut Congress’ yearly wage by $8700 and to put a freeze on their pay for each year after. Sounds good to me, but you know there has got to be a few republicans seething at the idea! So far there has been bipartisan support, but [...]

We’re protesting the town hall meetings in my town too…

Did you watch President Obama’s town hall meeting today in New Hampshire? It was pretty calm compared to what Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill had to go through today. She had to treat the unruly mob as if they were children. (Though, a wingnut did show up wearing a gun on his thigh. He brought a [...]

it is truly this simple:

As long as the greedy health care CEO’s can quadruple their profits every seven years like they have done from 2000 to 2007,

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

GLENN BECK AT CPAC 2010: ‘Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I’ve got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government…I’m addicted to spending and I just don’t want to spend today.’ (CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO QUOTE)

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
