Play the New RNC Game!

Soon, the U.S. Senate will debate President Barack Obama's and Majority Leader Harry Reid's government-run health care experiment. While some Democrat Senators claim they're "moderates" who oppose this government takeover of health care, we're wondering how many of these Democrat lap dogs will vote for Reid and Obama's bill before they vote against it. There is a critical procedural vote in the Senate called cloture that could stop Harry Reid's health care take-over. Will these Democrats support cloture but not the bill? To see which of these Senators will stand up against their leadership, here's a little game to play: Match each of the statements against government-run health care with the Senate Democrat who said it by clicking on the senator and their quote.

Here's a Thought...Stop Spending!

The United States' climbing national debt could drag the country into a "double-dip recession," President Obama warned
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/18/obama-warns-double-dip-recession/

My response: Geez, you really think so Mr. President [enter eye roll here]. Is he serious? Of course that's what happens when you add a trillion dollars to our National debt! What did he think was going to happen? On second thought...he didn't think!

The EPA vs Freedom of Speech

Is it just me, or is the Global Warming phenomenon no longer 'scientific', it has become a religion for some. Scary.....

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

Is the Republican Party Going RINO Hunting?
By Bobby Eberle
For years the Republican Party has been a source of frustration for conservatives. Yes, the Republican Party is the vehicle to victory if conservatives want any chance of passing solid legislation, but too often that vehicle has an ejector seat. Only moderates, or RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), are allowed on board.
