Newt Gingrich Making Sense?

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Markos Moulitsas at Daily Kos says Newt Gingrich makes sense:
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that any lawmaker who votes for the Bush administration’s $700 billion bailout package, which he called a “dead loser,” will face defeat in November.
Gingrich (R-GA) said he thinks Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is trying to scare […]

I must say, I like Eric Cantor*. I usually agree with him in most situations. But this time, he’s just plain wrong:
During an election season when many Republicans had tried to distance themselves from Bush, Cantor[*] said most lawmakers were taking cues from Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. and were eager to act quickly […]



Rob Wittman is supporting bailout-palooza.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Of course he is. He also manages to prove that he doesn’t know jack about economics.

Now he’s supporting a $700,000,000,000 bailout proposal (I think that’s the […]

Please read this article on MSNBC from WRC-TV about added rail security this morning. They stated “Passengers riding the rails Tuesday morning may notice a big security presence.”If they count having NO officers at VRE at 6:30am, and by having 3 (count…

President Bartlett and Obama have a talk

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics
