I'm Tired... And That Is Why I Voted Republican For The First Time Ever By: Bruno Korschek | - Earlier this week I submitted my mail-in ballot for the pertinent Florida political races that affect me. Up until that time, I took pride in truthfully stating that I had never voted for a Republican for national office in my life (I am 57 years old). However, that all changed this time around, it was Republican straight down the line from U.S. Senator down to county offices. Why the change. One reason: I'm tired:

Beware Rich Political Saviors By: Joel S. Hirschhorn | - Consumer confidence is terrible; citizen confidence is worse: Only 11 percent of Americans have confidence in Congress. No surprise there is record-setting anti-incumbency anger rampant among Americans. But the sad truth is damned if you do and damned if you dont vote for incumbents.

This Year Anti-incumbency Succeeds Or Fails By: Joel S. Hirschhorn | - For some years a number of groups have mounted an anti-incumbency campaign aimed at ridding Congress of the huge majority that keep getting reelected despite miserable performance.

Convention Usa: Confronting Unconstitutional Inaction By Congress By: Joel S. Hirschhorn | - Wake up patriots. Voting is not the answer. Not in our corrupt system.

In the lobbying world, it refers to efforts to influence Congress through contacts with corporate CEOs and other VIPs. In this context, though, VIP is a loose term.

Or a member may have a friend whom the member believes knows more than anyone on the subject. The member may listen to that person and no one el ...

Congress, It's Like The Smell Coming From The Garbage Can By: Steve Yeich | - The Democrats in Congress and Obama are so intent on being right about health care that they got it passed even if it means many of them not being re-elected because of it.

It's Tea Time For Congress By: Steve Yeich | - I would like to rectify a grievous error that many of us citizens make when we refer to a politician as an ass.

I feel much better having clarified that for everyone.
It's Time For A Lack Of Action From Congress By: Steve Yeich | - Last weekend the east coast experienced one of the worst blizzards in recorded history, which must have Al Gore scratching his head and saying, "At least that Internet thingee I invented worked out."

Dick Morris and his frequent appearances on Bill O'Reilly's top-rated FOX News program have been a thorn in the side of President Obama and the Democratic Party's majority members in Congress.
Morris never misses a chance to point out what he perceives as any Obama misstep, or the majority party's failure to get issued-oriented legislation passed. Here is an example following the President's recent State of the Union Address (1-27-10):
Will Healthcare Reform Cost Democrats Congress? By: Yamileth Medina | - The Democratic party has made comprehensive healthcare reform its top priority this year.

As Little Bailey Works To Speak Her First Word, Democrats Work To Steal Her Future And I Blame You! By: AL Lavallis | - Blame is not a bad or a petty thing when used appropriately. Blame attributed to thosse people responsible for taking actions that intentionally or unintentionally result in harm to others is appropriate; as it is to those whose inaction causes that same result. With our constitution being weakened, and our liberties stripped away by those we place in positions of power that have no respect for either, it's easy to identify those who are to blame.

Health Care Belongs At Home - Not In The Halls Of Congress! By: Teo Graca | - It's amazing to me how so many Americans have allowed themselves to be duped by politicians who claim they can provide health care for them. Do Americans not understand that their health is their individual responsibility? Do Americans understand so little about good health that they think it can be provided by a politician, or a health insurance company, or a doctor, or worse from taking a pill?
Christmas Gift... Help Others And Pay It Forward! By: Sandy Morris | - Do you think Congress would give Middle American a Christmas gift following the Pay It Forward and Help Others concept?
