Yesterday something truly startling happened. The American people won and the Establishment lost-- IN CONGRESS. That never happens. Alan Grayson and Ron Paul teamed up and made it happen-- against the wishes of their party leaders and, more important, against the wishes of the big banks that donimate the country and finance the campaigns of most of Congress. (Which probably means the bill-- we'll get...

By John Tate A few weeks ago, we sent out an alert that Representative Mel Watt was attempting to water down H.R. 1207 in the House Financial Services Committee. The latest reports we have received have informed us that a vote on the Watt amendment could come tomorrow! There's still time for us to stop this attack on Audit the Fed!

Missed this until now: last week New York Congressman Jose Serrano led the way with one of those time-wasting boilerplate Congratulations! resolutions for the Yankees. H.RES 893 passed, but not everybody played along. From the Cincinnati Enquirer: As a life-long Cincinnati Reds fan, Steve Driehaus couldn’t stomach supporting a resolution last week congratulating the New York [...]
She'll be promoting her new book as part of her "Going Rogue" tour at the Joseph-Beth Booksellers up on Madison Road on Nov. 20 from noon to three. I just may have to take that Friday off. I wonder if I can get her to sign my moose. Also. Calling Cincy's Democratic Rep. Steve Driehaus: destiny is knocking on righting health care inaccuracies, my friend. Steve's been taking a lot of heat on...
Last week, President Obama fawned over the endorsement of Pelosicare by two political powerhouses, AARP(who stands to make millions from its passage) and the American Medical Association. With those endorsements, Congressmen Zack Space, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Steve Driehaus likely breathed a sigh of relief. That was premature. The Ohio State Medical Association, the state affiliate of the AMA, came out...
While people suffer and die without health insurance, the Republicans are going after Ohio's Democrats for supporting the health care reform bill. The Lancaster Eagle Gazette : The Republican Party has launched a political attack against three Ohio Democrats they say cast the decisive votes for a $1.1 trillion health care reform bill that the GOP claims will cost American jobs. The Republican National...
During an appearance today at Good Sam's, a Catholic hospital in Cincinnati, Steve Driehaus, a Catholic congressman from the city's West side, explained why he voted for a health care bill that makes a mockery of subsidiarity , a Catholic principle that is "among the most constant and characteristic directives of the Church's social doctrine": CLIFTON - It didn’t take 48 hours after...
It didn't take 48 hours after Steve Driehaus voted for a health-care reform bill in the House of Representatives Saturday night for political opponents to use the vote against him in what's expected to be a tough November 2010 re-election bid.
Politico: Within minutes of Saturday’s historic House vote on health care reform , Republicans pronounced the political death of Rep. Thomas Perriello (D-Va.), pointing to the vulnerable freshman congressman’s vote in favor of the bill. And in the aftermath of the politically charged vote, Perriello wasn’t the only Democratic congressman whose fortunes were being reassessed. The GOP,...
…for showing your true colors. Your vote for this unprecedented takeover of private industry, shows what a weak-minded, socialist sock-puppet you really are; making next year’s OH-01 race a no-brainer (and by extension, less expensive and less emotional for any opposition). So I was wondering, how does it feel to be man-handled by an old, ugly glob [...]
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. Estimated added costs to households for just two of the bills that Congress is considering is: Cap and Trade cost per household $1,761 Health...
A Courtesy to our Friends at KOS DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED TO SLAP WOMEN BACK TO THE STONE AGE ( HR # Bill: H R 3962 ) KOS diarist LaFeminista reflects the animus the Soros-left have after the passsage of the Stupak Amendment which, nominally, will keep Obamacare from funding abortion. In truth, a Medicare type supplement insurance will be available. Anyway, to help them out, and make retribution easier,...
Steve Driehaus campaigned that he was no Pelosi lockstep liberal. But I''m not sure what else you would call voting on every single bill Lollapelosi & co. has offered. It was part of my post yesterday that he already knew he was toast so he had nothing to lose on his vote. Nice to see Mary Kilroy and and Zach Space do the same. Start packing your crap now.
