Keep it up Dems. I’d love to see a filibuster proof Republican majority in both houses.

The basic principle of the Dems is and has been and will be that elusive promise of “free stuff” they offer time and again, and a large segment of the public swallows it hook, line and sinker. And along the way, anyone who stands in the path of “free money” or “free stuff” is demonized by the Dems, the press, and Americans at large. And if the promised free money or free stuff is not forthcoming? Of course, blame the GOP.

Reid has given (accidently, I am sure) the GOP a major campaign plank…a freebie…that the GOP needs to use and use well over the coming 100 days. Every Republican needs to make the first words out of their mouth in any venue the immediate and unflinching demand for domestic energy production. “Drill here, drill now!” needs to be more than a bumper sticker. Do you hear that, Senator McCain?

Getting us off the dependence on foreign energy supplies was demanded and offered in 1972…and now, 35+ years later, we are still arguing over how many angels can fit on the head of a pin instead of applying common sense and actually allowing the market place to fix the problem. Alternative sources of energy? The marketplace will take care of that as well. But Congress needs to be held accountable for decades of obstacles placed in the path of that market, and the Reids and Durbins need to be seen as the obstructionists they are and have been all along…and replaced with all deliberate speed this November.

It’s one thing to be incompetent, and another to lie and lie badly. Unfortunately, Durbin manages both simultaneously.

…and he’s the more experienced Senator from Illinois.

Illinois: Home of Durbin, Obama (both), Blagojevich, Emanuel (that name sounds prophetic),……Do I have to keep going?

Authorizing to spend money but not actually spending it. That’s like telling your kids they can buy whatever they want and leaving a wallet full of money on the kitchen table. Should you be surprised when you come home to find it empty? According to Durbin, Yep. (I didn’t think they were actually going to spend it even though I gave the authorization.)

They need to hammer the Democrats as supporting foreign interests and potentially terrorists along with hurting the regular folks by blocking the development of domestic energy sources that WILL have immediate positive impacts.

Where is the Republican Leadership? The world wonders.

Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D. — aka “Dr. No” — won a decisive victory yesterday against Sen. Harry Reid. The Senate defeated the motion to advance Reid’s costly omnibus bill without debate. RedState summed up the conservative vi…

Even better, who elects these people, year after year? And what are they thinking?

I live in the Congressional district that routinely votes for Teddy Kennedy, John Faux Kerry, and to cap it off (pun intended) Ed Mahkey. And I ask the same question, year after year.

The solution: Term limits!

I get it.
