Pelosi and Slaughter were against the “Slaughter Solution” before they were for it
Lets hop in our time machines and go back to 2005. Back then of course the Republicans were in majority in the House acting like a bunch of Democrats. 5 years ago when the Republican majority in Congress approved a national debt limit increase using a self-executing rule similar to the so called Slaughter Solution, Nancy Pelosi and Democrats were fuming. The Ralph Nader-backed Public Citizen legal activists went to to federal court to challenge the constitutionality of the move. Guess who joined the Public Citizens activists in that suit with amicus briefs? According to the Washington Examiner, it was none other than Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman and Louise Slaughter!

Moderate House Democrats seeking re-election help have a message for Obama: Don’t call us; we’ll call you
So called “moderate” House Democrats who face difficult reelections this fall have a message for Obama: Don’t call us; we’ll call you. According to Politico, interviews with nearly a dozen congressional Democrats on the ballot this year reveal a decided lack of enthusiasm for having Obama come to their districts to campaign for them — gee I wonder why? Wouldn’t you want a Marxist coming to campaign for you after he was so successful with Jon Corzine, Creigh Deeds and Martha Coakley?

LOL! Democrats taking classes on how to sound tough on terrorism
Must have been hard for left wing biased Politico to actually reveal this pathetic revelation, but so be it.
House Democrats have asked Third Way, the centrist Democratic think tank, and California Rep. Jane Harman, a leader on intelligence issues in the House, to help lead training sessions on the issue.
BTW, wtf is a “centrist Democratic think tank”? If its Democratic its not “Centrist”

Another one bites the dust! After revelations of Eric Massa came out about him sexually harassing a male staffer, he now plans to resign from the House of Representives this coming Monday.

While the media and left with nuts play the game of labeling John Patrick Bedell as another “teabagger”, “right wing extremist”, it turns out Bedell was actually the exact opposite.

Grand Jury ready to indict John Edwards
In another related Democrat pervert case, a Federal grand jury is about to indict John Edwards, The National ENQUIRER has learned exclusively. You can say what you want about the National Enquirer and whether this is true or not, but one thing no one can argue, is how accurate they’ve been on the entire Edwards situtation since it started.

Eric Massa to retire amid allegations he sexually harassed a MALE staffer
Another perverted Democrat bites the dust! Eric Massa, who represents New York’s 29th district will not seek reelection — after only one term in office. Its certainly not from old age, or the fact Massa wants to spend more time with his family. Instead, Massa wouldn’t seek re-election because the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer! By the way, this is a district that McCain won in 2008, and Massa won with only 51% of the vote in 2008. According to Gateway Pundit, House Majority leader Steny Hoyer knew about the sexual harassment issue last month! Politico asked Massa about the allegations:
Asked about the sexual harassment allegations, Massa said: “When someone makes a decision to leave Congress, everybody says everything. I have health issues. I’ll talk about it [later].”
Charlie Rangel takes temporary “leave of absence” from Chairman’s seat of the House Ways & Means committee
Cowardly Charles Rangel wouldn’t even take any questions about why he is taking his “temporary” leave of absence, or about anything else. Rangel also said:
“I also would like to say that, from the very, very beginning, I had offered this to Speaker Pelosi.”
Hmm.
Just a reminder of your tax dollars at work (going to someone who doesn’t bother to pay their taxes)
Chuckles Charlie Rangel on verge of losing gavel
Update: Rangel to take a “leave of absence until investigation is over?”
Democrats, who are obviously very worried about their elections come November are jumping on the dump Rangel bandwagon! Rangel suffered a significant blow Tuesday afternoon when Rep. Artur Davis – a member of both the Ways and Means Committee and the Congressional Black Caucus who’s running for governor back home in Alabama – issued a statement in which he said the chairman “should do the right thing and step aside.”
Another Democrat member told POLITICO Tuesday night:
“I think Charlie should do the right thing and step down. We expected that out of Tom DeLay. He should do the honorable thing … There’s no double standard. “

Alexi Giannoulias brother Demetris serves on board of directors of the Crossroads fund – Radical left, Anti-Israel, Bill Ayers tied group
I’m not fan of Mark Kirk, in fact I can’t stand the guy. He voted yes on Cap and Trade in the House and is more of a RINO than John McCain. However, when it comes to his opponent for the Illinois Senate race Alexi Giannoulias to fill Obama/Roland Burris’s senate seat, Mark Kirk is a saint! In fact, the whole Giannoulias family, especially Alexi’s brother Demetris sounds quite a bit like Obama. Loaded with corruption, hatred for Israel, and tied to Bill Ayers. Check out the details News Alert Blog dug up on the family:
Congressman Xavier Becerra (D – CA) Laughs at request to do Pledge of Allegiance at Immigration Rally!
Not only did Becerra laugh it off, but so did those attending the “Reform immigration now” rally in Los Angeles. I’m sorry, is there something funny about the pledge of allegiance? Becerra is the one in the dark suit seated on stage. Not until the congressman is specifically confronted does he and the CHIRLA/SEIU rally leader agree that not to do so would be a massive fault. However, you can see the natural inclination was to dismiss the suggestion. This video was taken on Feb 19th at the Los Angeles SEIU offices.

Evan Bayh explains why he is saying Bayh Bayh to the Senate in NYT Op eD
The so called “centrist” Democrat who shocked the Democrats last week by announcing he will not run for another Senate term this year tries to explain his reasons in his New York Times op ed. Don’t be fooled by his “centrist” bs either. This is the same Evan Byah who voted for the Porkulus, voted for cloture on the ObamaCARE bill before Christmas, voted for the omnibus bill that contained nearly 9,000 earmarks, etc. If anything, liberal progressives who are now hating on Bayh for basically assuring this seat will turn Republican in November should be hailing him as a hero. Personally, I think Bayh decided not to run for re-election because he knows that the Democrats are going to use the nuclear option to try and jam ObamaCARE down America’s throats and doesn’t want to stick around for the train wreck it will be for his party.
Hypocrite Harry Reid’s filibuster flip flop
Remember back in 2005 when Harry Reid considered the filibuster far from a procedural gimmick. It’s part of the fabric of this institution we call the Senate. The right to extend a debate is never more important than when one party controls congress. Remember when Harry Reid and the Democrats were so in favor of this? The filibuster serves as a check on power and preserves our limited government. Another classic Harry Reid quote from 2005: “The filibuster prevents a Senator from ramming through legislation that only has the support of the minority.”. Fast foward to 2010. The filibuster is evil! We must do away with it! Times, they are a changin’
U.S. Senator from New Jersey Frank Lautenberg diagnosed with stomach cancer
Bad news, and NO i’m not cheering this news like a liberal progressive would had this same thing happened to a Republican Senator. New Jersey Real Time News reports that U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey’s 86-year-old senior senator, was diagnosed with cancer in the stomach in the last 24 hours and will begin chemotherapy today.

Lautenberg still plans to finish out his current term – his fifth in the Senate – and seek re-election in 2014.
