Cantor won't join House Tea Party Caucus
Posted by admin / Under No Fault Insurance
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking a pass on the House Tea Party Caucus. The second-ranking House Republican told POLITICO on Tuesday that he's not joining the group started by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) because he sees it as more of an organic, grass-roots movement rather than a Washington entity. Cantor praised Bachmann for providing “another avenue for people to have their voices heard" but said he thinks the tea party is better left outside Washington. “I met with several of groups that operated under that moniker in Virginia; they’re not all uniform,” Cantor said in his third-floor...

Lugar, one of the leading globalists in the Senate, was a mentor for then-Senator Barack Obama during a controversial three-day visit they made to Russia and Eastern Europe in 2005.During the visit, Russian authorities detained Obama and...

Kagan Refuses to Answer Whether Marriage is a State Issue
Posted by admin / Under No Fault Insurance
Kagan just said she wouldn't answer whether marriage was a state issue ... wait for it ... because there's a case coming down the pike. This is a load of horsepucky. It is perfectly legitimate to answer whether the federal constitution mandates man-horse marriage, even if Mr. Ed's human lover is filing a case. Then she said she wasn't going to use the 1972 case of Baker v. Nelson as precedential value -- a case that stated that the question of marriage was not a federal question under the Constitution -- and she followed that whopper up by saying "there...

President Jeb Bush?
Posted by admin / Under No Fault Insurance
The New York Times this week published a story based on an interview with the former Florida governor. The main point of the story was that his brother, George W., subscribes to the code that former presidents don’t criticize their successors, so Jeb is the one rebutting the Obama administration’s blame for the economy, the deficit, the oil spill and other national calamities. But the story also speculates on the prospects for Jeb running for president, as soon as 2012, as “someone who can reposition the party nationally and make its more strident ideology palatable to the wider American electorate.”...
