But it still managed to spark outrage from a group of seven female Democratic lawmakers, who said they were denied a chance to speak on an issue that affects them.
“These women stood and waited to be...

“You pay more [for gas], they’re lickin’ their chops. And you can bet, that since it’s an election year, [Republicans are] already dusting off their three point plan for $2 gas. And I’ll save you some expense. Step One is to DRILL. Step Two is to DRILL, and Step Three is to DRILL some more. Now, it’s the easiest thing in the world to make phony election promises about lower gas...

In another sign that Democrats have embraced income inequality as a cause célèbre, the Senate Budget Committee held a hearing on the subject Thursday. The committee’s ranking Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, managed to look concerned during two hours of testimony about the kneecapping of the Middle Class—not that it should have been all that difficult. Here are some of the...

“Oh, sure, your average conservative will insist his belief system is based upon a passion for the free market and limited government, but that’s mostly a cover story. Instead, the vast team-building exercise that has driven the broadcasts of people like Rush and Hannity and the talking heads on Fox (“News”) for decades now has really been a kind of ongoing Quest for...

I’ve been saying this for years.
All of these pro-life bills are doing is wasting money, stripping NECESSARY rights away from people who have already been granted them by the constitution, and wasting time. That’s the whole point.
