Democrats and Republicans may disagree on many things, but here is one thing we really should all agree on: the people we elect to represent us in Congress and the Senate ought to read the bills on which they vote before doing any actual voting! It is not only lazy, it’s a dereliction of duty [...]

Ever since the 1960’s, the Democrats have claimed to have the upper hand on protecting Americans’ First Amendment rights; time and again, they have insisted that Americans should be allowed to say whatever they want to say. Today, however, it appears that the First Amendment no longer seems to apply when Americans are speaking out [...]

Things have been a bit interesting around here lately. Between computer issues, medical issues, and schedule issues, with a little election burnout thrown into the mix, it’s been somewhat difficult to write anything here. But that’s beside the point of this post, so I won’t belabor it.

America has spoken, and rightly or wrongly, they chose [...]

So, Congress today is hoping to use Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke’s testimony today as reason for another bailout bill with added pork and a stimulus package to boot? Give me a break! Hasn’t Congress used enough of our money to meddle with the economy? There is NO constitutional provision for what they have been [...]

A few days ago while listening to some congressmen and senators were talking about how their constituencies became more “half and half” on the bailout bill, I couldn’t help but wonder how that would even be possible, given the overwhelming lack of support in the polls.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) had this to say about the unconstitutional bailout:

I could not have said it better myself.

Well, I guess if Congress won’t give you the $700 billion you wanted from the wallets of the taxpayers, you can just go around Congress and come up with some other way to take it from the people! Even the left-wing magazine The Nation is comparing Paulson to a Soviet government official! (Notice how “comprehensive” [...]

For the past week, now, Newt Gingrich has been pounding the common sense approach to economic recovery, but it seems that few on Capitol Hill (or at the White House, for that matter) are paying any attention.

He rightly points out that the mark-to-market accounting rule is killing the economy by undervaluing companies that are already [...]

First of all, congratulations are in order. To the congressmen who listened to their constituents and honored the Constitution with their “No” vote, we at Right Politik heartily applaud you. Your honor and integrity make you stand head and shoulders above those in Congress who would rather choose an easy, expensive out that only hurts [...]

The very fact that the Democrats want one hundred Republicans to sign on to the bailout bill, and the very fact that so many Republicans (in addition to the ones who truly do have conservative principles!) are afraid of doing so this close to an election is a sure sign that this bailout plan stinks [...]
