I can’t believe how poorly understood the health care issue is — or perhaps how so committed to the Republican-conservative viewpoint and agenda that a newspaper would want to spread disinformation. But the editorial in the Sept. 15 Amarillo Globe-News ( http://www.amarillo.com/stories/091509/opi_opin1.shtml ) did just that. Here are some specific problems. “He (President Barack Obama)...
When will they start telling the truth? Posted Sept. 9 - 9:55 p.m. - I can’t help but wonder about Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr., M.D., R-La., who gave the lame Republican response to President Obama’s speech on health care.

Thanks to a post reproduced by David Waldman on his blog "Congress Matters", I have found an informative series produced by "Casual Wednesday" on the Daily Kos . In his latest post he (or she?) sets out the background to the allocation of committee seats, and the House and Senate Armed Services Committees in particular. Obviously, these members are the ones to contact to advance...
I'm a bit surprised this isn't getting more attention: Last night, A Republican member of Congress -- Rep Mac Thornberry -- said he would support an investigation of the secret CIA program that was concealed from Congress.
House Democrats work to provide cover for Pelosi but refuse such protection for intelligence community When it comes to placing party before country, nobody does it better than the Democrats. This week, however, they're doubling down on their jilted priorities. For their next trick, House Democrats will attempt to simultaneously alienate the very intelligence community which toils each day on the front...
