Biden is a bonehead...

No need to clarify that statement, just watch the news everyday.

"Specter hints Kemp died of GOP agenda"

"Sen. Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Democrat… suggested that had the Republicans taken a more moderate track, Jack Kemp may have won his battle with cancer."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/04/specter-hints-kemp-died-of-gop-agenda/

Not only is his comment absolutely ridiculous and insensitive, but he was one of the "Republicans" he's referring to. So in essence he's also accusing Jack Kemp of contributing to his own death. The politicians that have only crap like this to contribute need to bow out. Take a hint Byrd, etc. Never mind his blatant desperate attempt to get reelected by switching parties. This guy cares for one thing...himself. If Democrats in PA don't see the transparency of this guy and elect him to return to Washington...well, I guess things will just be as they usually are. Sad.

Bound to go down eventually...

Posted By Mike Strieber

There must be someone "behind the scenes" with an axe to grind with Murtha. His name keeps popping up a lot lately with suggestions of improper behavior....from his airport to these no-bid contracts to relatives. I personally hope he does go down; in my view he did a severe disservice to our military.

If you have the equipment, time, and cloudless skies, there's some nice activity going on right now. Couple of nice ARs rounding the corner.

Someone needs to remind Pelosi of the first rule of digging holes....put the shovel down.

Wow, put the shovel down Nancy. Self-destruction in public is not something I would wish on anyone... except Nancy Pelosi.

The Republican Party is dead...

Posted By Mike Strieber

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/15/rnc-raises-more-than-5-7-million-in-april/

"...the national party said Friday it raised more than $5.7 million in April, and had $24.3 million cash-on-hand."

"...That's more than double the roughly $9.8 million Democrats had on hand in March..."

"The RNC has outpaced its Democratic counterpart on the fundraising front since Steele took the helm..."

Not bad for a bunch of dead guys. I've always said they don't need a new branding to recover, they need the Democrats to demonstrate how they manage the nation.
