Here is an email that a friend of mine received from the Obama folks. I love how they talk about Marsha Blackburn being pressured into voting against this Obamacare trash by the insurance lobbyists. I am proud of Blackburn actually voting for her constituents for a change. Blackburn also knows that if she had voted [...]
AmericaHasAChanceTonight ToDoTheRightThingVille ____________ All In The Family/Archie Bunker Update, 7:20pm Saturday..... The Fetishizing is getting downright scary... but the smart money still says that this was the result of a horse-trading 'deal' cut by Pelosi to keep the votes for to preserve the main prize....Meanwhile the laugable Republican alternative bill (eg. no protection against health...
DOWNLOADS: (29) PLAYS: (84) Marsha Blackburn does a good job of turning into a drama queen when it suits her, doesn't she? During the debate on the House floor over the health care bill being voted on today, Blackburn railed on about who's going to pay for this. I want to know when she's ever asked the same question about paying for war funding?
DOWNLOADS: (17) PLAYS: (39) Washington Journal host Peter Slen asks Marsha Blackburn about an editorial in The New York Times The Republican Health Plan and reads this passage: It has some good provisions, such as prohibiting insurers from imposing annual or lifetime caps on what they will pay and automatic enrollment of workers in employer-sponsored group coverage. But it would not prevent insurers...
Just got this writing in an e from Rep. Marsha Blackburn: As I write this, Members are being informed that the health care debate is likely to extend through the weekend. A final vote may not come until Tuesday. The Rules Committee, the body that decides what amendments will and not be considered on H.R. 3962 is meeting now. I am waiting my turn to offer a series of amendments that would make H.R....
While the Washington Post ran a full news story by Philip Rucker on the conservative Capitol Hill rally on page 4 on Friday, The New York Times buried it with just six paragraphs – smack dab in in the middle of a story on A-15 headlined "House Democrats Seek Allies for Health Care Vote." The story by Times reporters Carl Hulse and David M. Herszenhorn focused mostly on how Democrats...
Take a look at this from Climate Progress: JR: As I wrote back in May, if you saw Gore’s terrific testimony on Waxman-Markey with former Sen. Warner (details here, full CSPAN video here), then you saw the absurd attempt by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to suggest that the reason Gore has been advocating climate action for [...]
Yesterday afternoon, while waiting to pick up our daughter from Lipscomb, I participated in a conference call with Congressman Marsha Blackburn. I sat in my truck, with the windows open, listening to the chatter and laughter of students milling about and watching the colorful foliage swirl about....very relaxing. This serene atmosphere was in stark contrast to the maelstrom building in Washington...

The New York Times printed this absolute train wreck about Al Gore. Apparently some commentators are claiming Gore is arguing for action on climate change in order to make himself rich. So the NY Times printed a pointless story about those claims. It is ridiculous on a number of levels. Level one: This is news because some people say it is news. Critics, mostly on the political right and among global...
One company in which Al Gore invested has contracts with utilities that received a combined subsidy of $560m (£340m) from the US energy department The launch of Al Gore's new book this week has prompted questions about whether the former US vice-president's investments in green technology amount to a conflict of interest. Gore's latest call to action over climate change, Our Choice: a Plan to...
From Private Equity Hub : Lots of blog buzz today about a NY Times story on Al Gore’s cleantech investments, and if such activity is ethically compatible with his lobbying for environmental legislation that could benefit his portfolio. Not surprisingly, critics see irreconcilable conflict. The Drudge Report, for example, has a breathless header about ”Gore’s big profits from global...
May 31, 2006 - Occupation: Global Warming Mongers by Vigilis - It is becoming clearer that he [Gore] is either very dim-witted, or is spearheading a scam for which he has a financial conflict of interest. In fact, his interest in the recent movie An Inconvenient Truth, could be offset by production costs claimed as advertising/marketing for his investment company , based in London. Shameful, really...
