Sarah's Pawn, Vaughn Gone!

So, Sarah Palin's hand picked candidate Vaughn Ward for Idaho's first district went down hard. Nice to know Idaho voters want leaders who take their own stands, write their own speeches and know United States geography. It appears, anger at Washington isn't a strong enough platform to run on.

This is bad news for a certain 1/2 term northern governor who has visions of high office.

Blame Game

Rand Paul says its un-American for President Obama to place blame on British Petroleum for what could be the worst oil spill in American.

Why do we always have to assign blame for events? Sometimes things just happen Mr. Paul believes

In a related matter, Mr. Paul spent much of the previous day diffusing a tempest he unleashed when stating that he doesn't believe the federal government has a role in preventing discrimination in private businesses.

Mr. Paul blamed the 24 news cycle, while his father Ron Paul pointed at the "liberal media" for his son's recent beatings in the press.

Funny what happened to things sometime just happen?

Congressional Sex Scandal? Look for the Christian CON

Well, another RepubliCON is resigning from Congress. Mark Souder the holier than thou CON from Indiana has admitted to a "mutual" relationship with a part time staffer. Mark, like other CONS, blames others rather than his own choices for his troubles.

The scene is all too familiar.

2010 off to a good start!

The New Year is starting off great. Two more RepubliCON House members (Radanovich and Brown) announced their plans to not run for reelection bringing the total number of GOP who are abandoning ship to 14.

This should make it all but impossible for the GOP to retake the House. Enjoy another couple years in the wilderness CONS.
