If Members of Congress are Representing their Party, their Caucus and The Speaker of the House

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 23 May 19

How can they be so hypocritical?

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 3 Oct 13

I don't know why, but something bothers me about the Majority Leaders of the United States House of Representatives shutting the Government down because they don't LIKE the IDEA of SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE. If they feel that...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 13 Sep 11

Republican Bob Turner wins the House seat vacated by a disgraced, Anthony Weiner. This is a district as staunchly Democrat as Utah is Republican. What do you think this means for Obama's chances of re-election? Is it meaningless,...

Will the US's Current Administration Give Rise to the Libertarian Party?

bziebarth @bziebarth (228) • United States 11 Aug 09

I wanted to get off of health care, for a moment. Over the last eight years, Republican led Congress and President "played nice" and did not fight like the Democrats now are. They spent too much money and made several blunders....

Is Government the Answer to Our Problems?

davebrown64 @davebrown64 (443) • United States 12 Feb 09

This is a very vague question. It is not government persay, it is the leadership in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. It is time to do what we can to oust Pelosi, Reid and especially Barney Frank. How in...

Ok, someone explain something to me, because I admit, I don't get it. The Democrats have made "McSame" a major strategy in their campaign to get Obama in the White House. They hope that attaching McCain to Prs. Bush in the...

He can best serve the country as on of the most senior Senators. If I were Obama, I'd pick any one of several strong women in the House of Representatives...other than Nancy Pelosi. I don't think he should pick anyone who is more...
