Should Republicans Support McGinn
Right now it appears that Mayor McGinn and the Seattle City Council are headed to war over the tunnel. Is this just a Democrat on Democrat crime that we Republicans and Tea Partiers should sit back and enjoy? I say no. Mike McGinn in many ways was one of the first "Tea Party" style candidates to be elected to a significant office. He took on the Democrat's favorite sons and won with a coalition of neighbor oriented "activists". Now much... [read more]

Hey, VANCOUVER...!
Who the heck is Jeannie Harris and why is she so angry and rude? And who is that wimp sitting next to her that she demands "GAVEL DOWN!" ?... [read more]

First they came for GoldLine.....
Today they had the hearing to investigate GoldLine's marketing practices and to forward H.R. 6149 Here is a link to the Bill and a video of the hearing. I watched the entire hearing. I watched in utter astonishment at what unfolded. Memo to readers who are liberals/democrats: this is what the Tea Party Movement is about and why you might at least heed what I am about to say. H.R. 6149 is titled: "The Precious Coins and Bullion Disclosure Act"... [read more]

Any Muslim who can explain this.............Please?
I'm confused. I heard today about this. So she has apparently gone deep underground. That being said, how you explain this as a Muslim? Was it because it was thought that Molly Norris was trying to be inflammatory? What if she was just trying to prove that we are 'tolerant".? To any Muslim who reads this: What are your thoughts on this issue? Do the depictions in the art shown in the link offend you as much as Ms. Norris's... [read more]

Introducing...................Doctor Zero
One of the reasons I joined the Tea Party movement was because of a blogger/author called "Doctor Zero" Say what you want about Conservatives being dolts, uninformed, unlearned and unable to form solid apologies for our Ideology. Once in a while, a writer makes large issues easy to understand. With masterful reduction, "Doctor Zero" distills tenets to profound sentences dispensed throughout his prose. Below is his latest essay in it's entirety. Some wonderful sentences and phrases: "It's not surprising that... [read more]

Republicans,The Tea Party and O'Donnell
Much is being throw around the media and the blogosphere about the O'Donnell victory, her Tea Party affiliation and the "Establishment" of the Republican Party. Various pundits went back and forth and essentially either waxed political theories on causation or took a position and defended it. It seemed to me that there was no real consensus. Various "Tea-Party Candidates" like Marco Rubio and others proved the critics wrong as far as their "electability" . But let's face it: Rubio had... [read more]

Who is your role model? Who do YOU look up to?..........
A sports figure? An Entertainer? Actor? Actress? Model? Singer? Race Car Driver? A Politician? Behold a role model Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta. 22 years old. Here is more.................... As a living CMOH holder, even if the President approaches him while he is wearing it, it is protocol for the President to salute him even though he is an NCO, a Staff Sergeant. This applies to even the highest CO. Even Petraeus or any other General. "Everything slowed down and I... [read more]

Since another "stimulus" is on the way......A Reminder..
President Obama is on a tear. His last two speeches, (mostly to the audience of union members.....surprise!) the President assailed the Republican Party and the minority House leader, John Boehner. (Speeches here & here) He is also misleading his audience. Republicans have no ideas? Boehner, Cantor, Sessions and others have put forth many ideas and entire platforms to counter the Presidents proposals over the past 18 months and they were ignored. The fact is that the President doesn't want to... [read more]

Q&A with Koster
In the first comment of Pudges latest post about his friend John Koster, he states, "we will have an interview with John Koster and Rick Larsen on Sound Politics soon: and YOU all get to ask the questions." I wonder if everyone will be allowed to ask questions or if all the people that have been banned from commenting on Pudges posts will also be banned from this Q&A session. I was banned after asking Pudge questions regarding Kosters 16... [read more]

"What would you do".......Liberal New Yorkers?
So............I just finished watching the latest episode of ABC News "What Would You Do?", hosted by John Quinones. Two segments dealt with possible racism. In one, a young black man is seen using a hack saw and bolt cutter to extract a very expensive bike secured by lock and chain to a post in Central Park. The folks walking by step into action by confronting whom they assume is a brazen thief. They call the police, they confront the young... [read more]
