You have to wonder if Republicans in Congress heard the same State of the Union speech as the rest of us did. Bush’s remix speech of past addresses seemed to please the republicans. They felt inspired, sentimental and happy that Bush proved that he was still commander in chief.
I particularly like the Kevin Brady’s remarks [...]

President Bush today vetoed an important and widely supported bi-partisan expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) (H.R. 976).
WhosPlayin takes a look at what the blogs of the Texas Progressive Alliance are saying about this terrible move:

Yesterday on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh felt it necessary to call soldiers who oppose the war “phony soldiers.” The GOP, who rushed to condemn MoveOn.org and distract from the real problems at hand need to condemn Rush Limbaugh in the same fashion.
John Cornyn the mouth piece for the White House, who lead the [...]

I guess Texas Senator John Cornyn can’t find legislation to write that will benefit Americans or his Texas constituents. Cornyn has proposed a four page amendment (2934) to H.R. 1585. The purpose of Amendment 2934 ; “To strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the [...]

H/T to Think Progress for pointing out once again what a hypocritical suck up John Cornyn is.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has released a statement praising President Bush’s speech on Iraq last night, saying he is “pleased” that “troops will come home before the year’s end”:
Our commanding officer in Iraq, General Petraeus, came before the [...]

In an effort to help our friend get veterans’ survivor benefits after the death of her husband, BossKitty decided to e-mail our representative and both Senators. Much to my surprise an email reply came from Cornyn within two days. Unfortunately it was an auto reply, you know the kind “don’t reply to this email” [...]

The hallmark of the wingnuts on the right is the melding of the ugliest tendencies of Pharisee and Mammon in an unholy political union primarily that worships political power and suffers greatly from a brittle sense of machismo. Alaprst1 over at Texas Kaos has caught the junior Senator [...]
