The title alone might make you think this is some feel-good fairy tale. Well the feel-good part is right, but the fairy-tale part isn’t. Southwestern Ohio has become something of a Mecca for Tea Parties. On Labor Day weekend of this year a Tea Party was held at Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio in which an estimated 18,000 tea baggers showed up. In the lead up to last week’s...

Little Zack Space decided to vote against the will of his constituents. Zack, instead, voted with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the very liberal Democrats in the House of Representatives. Good job Zack. Zack is helping bankrupt each and every voter in his district.

The timing could not have been more fortuitous. I am, once again, here in Washington, DC with Americans United for Separation of Church and State - along with many of my favorite bloggers - for their annual conference. The West Coasters got in a day early, and I managed to do 3 live music broadcasts yesterday and got a good night's sleep in preparation for the festivities tonight. Little did I know...

DOWNLOADS: (47) PLAYS: (231) (h/t Heather at VideoCafe ) What color is the sky in Mean Jean Schmidt's world? Because we are clearly through the looking glass when the Wicked Witch of Ohio claims that most Americans are against this bill (LIES), that the CBO says healthcare costs will not be reduced (LIES, although in fairness, they trashed the Republican version ), and reduced Medicare benefits (LIES)....

By (O)CT(O)PUS Notice this poster that equates Holocaust victims with national healthcare reform. Protestors displayed this poster today at a rally near the Capital steps, an event sponsored and organized by House Republicans. More than tasteless hyperbole, it goes far beyond all boundaries of civility and decorum. It is obscene to exploit the Holocaust to score a political point, and it offends me...

I have written previously about how the right is using fear tactics in their attempt to stop health care reform. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), compared health care reform to the threat of terrorism: I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country. Yesterday, protesters at the GOP anti-health care rally were spotted holding...

Malkin has details and updates , but my favorite sign as thousands descend at the Capitol to let Congress know who they work for is the photo below. That is a warning to Congress and every single politicians up for reelection in November of 2010.

...via Matthew Yglesias , this image of Holocaust victims was on display at today's " House Call " protest organized by Michele Bachmann and the Republican House Leadership: Take a closer look: Keep in mind that this wasn't some Glenn Beck-organized 9/12 stunt. This was an event staged by the House Republican leadership -- actual elected officials, members of the U.S. government. Other Republican...

The bill that would reform U.S. health care is unlikely to be anybody's idea of light reading. Nevertheless, U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt plans to donate a copy to the local branch of the Clermont County Public Library.

Yesterday the House voted, overwhelmingly, to pass H.R.3585 , the Solar Technology Roadmap Act, which is meant to provide for U.S. research, development, and demonstration of solar energy technologies. With China-- as well as several other countries-- pulling way ahead of the U.S. in alternative energy development , you would think supporting this kind of legislation would be a no brainer. And, indeed...

Ohio’s Second Congressional District has been represented by Jean Schmidt since September 2005. Almost four years later, it appears that she finally has a worthy, serious, sensible conservative challenger. It’s worth recounting how Jean Schmidt got to this point to recognize just how many bullets she has dodged. In June 2005’s special 11-candidate GOP primary to replace [...]
