Republicans Don't Even Show Up!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Other than being the party of "No", a new GOP tactic arises from the ashes: stay home! Why show up at the senate in Washington to debate and represent your voters when you can simply stay home?

What do you think of this one?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I don't what the deal is on this but low cost phone and utility services have been around forever for seniors and others in low income brackets. If someone has taken it to wireless services it doesn't surprise me...

Can't the GOP come up with a moderate non-nutcase for a change?

GOP Bill Increases Uninsured

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The GOP bill in the antithesis of the solution for health care reform. It actually increases the number of uninsured. In other words, it's part of the problem and not the solution. Along the same lines, just look at what Wellpoint, one of the largest for profit health care insurers in the country, is doing to its own employees. Geez...
