"Galapagos" Ben, don't run away!

"Galapagos" Ben Chandler of the 6th District of Kentucky has refused to meet with constituents, is not available by phone and has no scheduled meetings to discuss any issues during the recess. As a member of the Blue Dogs, he's turned out to be more of a yellow dog and certainly Obama's lap dog in supporting Cap and Trade and helping to nail the coffin in Kentucky's coal industry, of course all in the name of "the children".

"Galapagos" Ben can only serve one master. Will it be his constituents or the Obama White House?

Astroturf or Grassroots?

I think the leadership of the Commucrat party needs to realize the opposition to their public healthcare plan is deep rooted and couldn't be any further from "astroturf". The emotion seen playing out at town halls across the country is a result of years of constituent frustration from lack of response from and access to the representatives who claim to represent their interests in Washington. Voters are tired of talking to interns on the phone when they call. Voters are tired of receiving form letters back in the mail responding to their concerns. Voters are tired of their rep running scared and only holding meetings with the deepest segment of his/her support.

Check out Georgia Rep. David Scott's thoughtful response to one of his constituents.

I particularly like the finger pointing, shouting and accusations made by the Rep. Scott. Smells like fear to me, Rep. Scott. Here's hoping you and "Galapagos" Ben have a lot of free time after you lose your seats in the next election. We'll see who turns out; astroturf or grassroots.

Change You Can Believe In

Remember the good ol' days before the President started recruiting snitches to turn on friends, neighbors and co-workers?

You'll be on a list!

Peaceful people slaughter at least 15

Well, I am officially through buying the "Islam is a religion of peace" garbage. I don't care who is selling it. Not George Bush, not Muslims in this country, not anyone. For one, the Muslim community as a whole has not stepped to the fore to denounce worldwide terrorism. In my book, sitting silently by makes them complicit. Now, we have this whole cartoon deal. What has this taught us about the followers of the religion of peace? Cross them and they will riot, burn and kill. In other words, they will be anything but peaceful. When are we going to wake up?

At least 15 die in Nigeria cartoon protest

"One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze."

"'Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters,' Ezeoke said. Witnesses said three children and a priest were among those killed."

"With Saturday's deaths, at least 45 people have been killed in protests across the Muslim world, according to a count by The Associated Press."

Peaceful? You be the judge.

Run, Tom, Run!!!

Tom Daschle considers bid for president

Nothing gives you momentum for a presidential run than losing your Senate seat while serving as the majority leader. I guess Tom is hoping America is more liberal than his home state of South Dakota.
