Monday, February 14th, 2005Maybe some of the Washington Powerbrokers don’t like it, but Dean in the DNC Chair seat is making quite a few Democrats happy — and believe in their party again!

TRUE Republican Family Values
Monday, February 14th, 2005Alan Keys’ daughter is an out, proud Lesbian. And for standing up and being herself, Keys and his wife threw their daughter out of their home, refuse to pay for her college or expenses, and have disowned her.

$9 Billion MISALLOCATED
Monday, February 14th, 2005Democrats are crying foul, asking for an immediate investigation into up to $9 Billion dollars mismanaged in Iraq.

But that’s exactly what’s going on now with [...]
Recite the Pledge OR ELSE
Thursday, February 3rd, 2005It’s incredible that legislation like this comes up, and that it’s passed with a 93 to 4 vote. Virginia lawmakers weren’t happy that a law is on the books stating that if a student has religious or moral convictions that cause them to not stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag in [...]
Excellent Senate Filibuster Article
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005Probably the best article that I’ve read that explains exactly what rules Republicans in the Senate have used during Democratic party rule, but the lapse of those same rules now that Republicans are in power . It gives you what Republicans have used in the past, when they’ve changed the rules, and why. Take a [...]
Pay to play
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005Two politicians who donated to the “Tom DeLay defense fund”, which paid for DeLay’s legal problems in his ethics hearings, have been rewarded with posts on the Ethics committee.

One good piece of news out of a Republican
Tuesday, February 1st, 2005Well, looks like Bill Frist won’t be running for re-election in 2006, making a race for his replacement in the Senate. What brain-dead person with the Republicans put up to replace him?
