Seriously. I don’t know what he and Joe Biden are smoking or drinking these days, but they need to stop. They are just making idiots of themselves in public on our dimes. First to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid has declared that the problem with unemployment isn’t the lack of private sector jobs. Nope, [...]

Indeed one does from court cases to elections. In the court case “Win” Column, there is this promising article from the Washington Post, “Judge Questions Justice Department’s Lawsuit Against Arizona Immigration Law.” According to the article, this does not bode well for the DOJ’s argument. My favorite part of the article: Judge John T. Noonan [...]

This story is a tad long, but it is chock-filled with a wealth of twists, turns, personalities, politicians, and much more. I strongly recommend. Politics is clearly a contact sport. No doubt not all of the punches are above the belt. I first referenced the Obama White House use of intimidation in the case of [...]

Wow, what a night Tuesday night! This is shaping up to be the Year of the Women, finally. Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina took California, two women with tremendous resumes in the private sector. Nikki Haley won big in South Carolina, though she does have to have a run-off June 22nd. She is fully expected [...]

This News Of the DUH (We’ve Been Trying To Tell You), And News Of The “Hey, Anything Is Possible THESE Days.” First are a few polls that will truly make you say, “Uh, yeah – that’s what we’ve been saying. Stop spreading the demonizing hype, and look at reality already.” In other words, the polls [...]

Uh, not exactly. Unless Obama is trying to “help” Senate Majority Leader Reid retire. Many of us would be happy as clams with that, including me. Even when I still had on my rose-colored yellow dog Democratic glasses, I was very disappointed in Reid’s “leadership.” That disappointment has only continued to grow for me. Apparently, [...]

Women, that’s who. My fellow No Quarter writer, Eastan, queried after the Health Care Summit, “Where were the women?” It’s an excellent question, Eastan. Here is a look at the list of invitees to Obama’s “Bipartisan” Healthcare Summit: Senator Harry Reid, D-NV, Majority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY, Republican Leader Senator Dick Durbin, D-IL, Majority [...]

One of the worst things about the 2008 election – aside from the obvious of Hillary Clinton being unceremoniously pushed aside in favor of a disingenuous, inexperienced candidate with elastic policies – is that her supporters were likewise treated with horrid disrespect. We were told our concerns didn’t matter. We were told we didn’t matter. [...]

* Bumped Up * So, with all the hot water many Democrats are in now, aided by the new book, Game Change, no doubt the fundraising calls will get more and more insistent. They have to overcome not just what was in the book, but stories like this from the Washington Post, “Sen. Reid and [...]

I first became aware of the book that is making waves, Game Change, when a part of it appearing in NY Magazine was referenced by faithful No Quarter reader, Mountainaires, in terms of Elizabeth Edwards. Basically, the authors, Heilemann and Halperin, dispel the myth of “St. Elizabeth.” What an eye-opener this excerpt was, especially for [...]

I just barely know where to start with this recent revelation about Senator Harry Reid. I will leave it to the headline to explain why Reid is in hot water now: Reid Apologizes For ‘Negro dialect’ Comment; Reid apologized Saturday for remarks he made about then-candidate Barack Obama. Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry [...]

Here it is, a new year. And just what does that mean for the “historic” health care bill that is about to be foisted upon us? That the two houses, the Senate and the House, are supposed to get together to work out their differences before presenting a unified bill to President Obama for his [...]

* Bumped up * To the Health Care Industry, Big Pharma, and a few select states. Yes, in the wee hours of the morning (okay, 7:00 a.m.), the Senate voted to pass the Health-Care-less-what-the-people-and-physicians-say Bill. Oh, yes – what a banner day. The Senate rammed through a bill so fraught with problems it would be [...]

My senator, Lindsey Graham, has been hot under the collar about this Health “Care” bill, and the manner in which Ben Nelson was bought off by Harry Reid at OUR expense this past weekend. He likened it to “Chicago-style politics.” I’d be inclined to agree. Here is Senator Graham explaining his assertion: You tell ‘em, [...]

The Senate is back in session this week, and will begin its work on hammering out the new bill they put forth before the Thanksgiving recess on Health Care Reform. Here is a reminder of Senator Reid’s presentation of the new bill: Who wants to place bets on whether or not Charles Krauthammer will have [...]
