Georgia congressman says Wilson outburst planned
2009-09-23 02:04:00 This from the CNN Ticker explains quite fully what I intuited about Joe Wilson's well-timed "You Lie!" outburst during the president's Address to a Joint Session of Congress on Sept 9.And quelle surprise! It comes from a Georgia congressman! Why, I didn't know it possible for this particular native Georgian (moi) not to have to be embarassed by the 'conservative' politicians who hail from this region and astound me and others here with their odd views and simply annoying southern drawls.So consider me knocked over by a feather on this one! But Jimmy Carter in the fray? When I was an impressionable teenager I had occasion to shake his very freckly hand and was quite horrified - it felt like a limp lobster to me. Now, of course, I appreciate the work that he and his wife do and have done through the Carter Center, Habitat for Humanity, and other projects on behalf of Human Rights all over the globe.Guess that's a teenager for you. But Mr. Carter still seems to be part of the New...

During these difficult economic times, higher energy prices impose a great hardship on families struggling to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the Democrat majority in Congress is embracing a national energy tax that will lead to even higher energy prices and massive job losses for the American people.President Obama even admitted that under his energy plan, utility rates would ?necessarily skyrocket.? If the Democrats? cap-and-trade bill were to become law, estimates suggest that the average American family would face up to $4,300 a year in extra energy costs and anywhere between 1.8 [million] and 7 million American jobs could be lost.That?s a heavy price to pay for a plan that will do very little to clean up our environment, since manufacturers will probably ship their plants, and their pollution...

2008-11-11 04:39:00 WASHINGTON ? A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship."It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may ? may not, I hope not ? but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military."That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military...

It is alleged that Mr. Rove personally instigated the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman. The case has been criticized by legal experts, and 52 former state attorney generals – both Republicans and Democrats – have criticized the case and called for an investigation. (You may view the clip here.)If Rove refuses to testify voluntarily and ignores the subpoenas that will certainly be issued, he should be held in Inherent Contempt of the House of Representatives.No American is above the law.

My congressman?s advice on oil, gas prices ? not so good
2008-05-02 22:05:00 My congressman sent me his May 2008 newsletter today via e-mail to explain to me why gasoline prices are so high and what he’s doing about it. His analysis is unimpressive. According to the newsletter and its link to his Web site, Rep. John R. “Randy” Kuhl (R-N.Y.) says: Why are gas prices so high? The high price of gasoline results from the cost of crude oil, the world demand and supply for oil, our limited refining capacity, and taxes. [emphasis added] But what didn’t make his list? Rep. Kuhl did not mention the role of a weakened dollar in the cost of crude. Nor did he point to speculation ? which Congress said added $20 to a barrel of oil back when oil cost $70 per barrel ? as a root cause of precipitous price increases. According to Peter Way of Block Traders’ Oil & Gold Monitor: [W]e observed that a tug-of-war was developing between the regulars and the newer speculators that would influence world energy costs. Until recently, the contest ha... |
