My ears perked up this morning as Senator Ben Nelson (D- NE) was interviewed on FOX News. Some searching on the net revealed further news about what Nelson is doing to pass the economic stimulus bill. I don’t know how much comfort IDA readers will take in knowing that a version of the “Gang of [...]

As my least favorite conservative, Ann Coulter, would say, “Matt Strawn, you have some ’splainin to do.” Our new RPI Chairman has thrown his support behind current RNC Chairman Mike Duncan to be re-elected to the party’s top spot. Didn’t we just lose this past election season? Isn’t our party in shambles right now and [...]

I enjoyed reading a Politico article that actually had the word “cheer” in the title! Even crusaders like some good news. I especially liked reading that the Republicans seem to have a plan which I read to be communicating with the voters. As others have written and shared on talk radio, the Republican Party has [...]

I had been wondering about the NRC Chairmanship race and happened upon this article by Kevin Tracy. I share a brief part of it plus one comment. Reading words such as these gives me great concern about the Republican Party. It is one thing to wage battles with the Democrats. Just keeping the public aware [...]

A bit of news from junkscience.com:
The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.
“He’s from Hawaii, [...]

As indicated in the article below Harkin is “shocked” that nary a Republican would vote for the economic stimulus bill, gag, actually the Pelosi (and Harkin, etc.) SPENDING BILL!
I, the taxpayer, am not shocked that Harkin is shocked. This is Harkin being the Harkin that Iowa voters continue to send back to D.C. “I ’spose” [...]

America is under attack. It is under attack by the very people that are tasked with preserving it. Yesterday the United State House of Representatives passed the massive stimulus plan promoted by President Barack Obama, a virtual blitzkrieg of big government. The bill in question is touted as being able to save the American economy [...]

I have watched with horror today at the vote to pass the Economic Stimulus Bill in the House of Representatives. While I am appreciative of the 100 percent of Republicans who voted “Nay”, their efforts were not enough to stop the madness of spending the money that Americans work so hard to earn.
My mom used [...]

If you have a desire to go to a movie….if you can afford such an event…I want you to remember the name Ashley Judd. The article below tells you what kind of person you are supporting with your hard earned dollars. And, sad to say, Ashley has lots of friends who like to make fun [...]
