Democrats Blast Bush for Comments!
President Bush just completed a two-day visit to Israel, to join in the 60th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Jewish state. He was warmly welcomed and received, and even got a standing ovation for his comments made to the Knesset, the Israeli parliament.

The way I see it, Americans seem to want to focus on the human [...]
Deepening the Democratic Divide!
Three and a half weeks remain until the Pennsylvania primary is held. In the meantime, the sniping back and forth between the Democrats is intensifying.
Hillary Clinton has been exposed for embellishing facts about her experiences during her time as First Lady. Seems she got wrapped up in some story telling about how exciting and/or dangerous [...]
State of the Union: Bipartisan Finger Pointing
It never ceases to amaze me that any two supposedly intelligent people can look at an issue and come up with diametrically opposed opinions. Such is the case with last night’s State of the Union Address and the rebuttal.

Swearing-in Puts CT Delegation to Work
It's official. Connecticut's delegation is all sworn in and ready to get started in the 111th Congress today. The House floor filled with people by noon, the members and enough of their children to start a youth congress. (The state's only incoming freshman, Rep. Jim Himes, sat with his two young daughters, who got out of school for the event.) As the new chairman of the Democratic caucus, Rep. John Larson was the first member to rise at about 12:40 p.m. to nominate Nancy Pelosi as the chosen

Is Adding 600,000 New Government Employees For The Sake Of “Economic Stimulus” Responsible Policy?
House Minority Leader John Boehner explains how Nancy Pelosi’s rule changes in the House will make it easier to raise taxes and grow the size of government: The rules package Democratic leaders will reportedly bring to the floor and ram through the House today would change House rules to limit dissent and make it harder to cut taxes, and would repeal term-limits for incumbent committee chairmen such as Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Henry Waxman (D-CA), reversing key reforms adopted at the st

Defense spending would provide a better stimulus
President-elect Barack Obama engaged in rare, preinaugural lobbying on Capitol Hill yesterday, attempting to build support for an $800 billion economic bailout. Obama spent his first full day in Washington as president-elect huddling separately one-on-one with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Harry Reid, and meeting with a group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
