Do gays even know it's Christmas time at all?

"I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives...I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ."

Especially a devout guitarist should have learned the lessons from Footloose.

I have sent Hagan emails on 2 different subjects and each time I received a quick canned response saying thanks for contacting her and I will receive a more detailed and personal letter shortly regarding my concerns. Fine. I wait six weeks and get another form letter saying thanks for my interest. She did not state her position or what she is going to vote on. Reminds me of Bill Clinton waiting to see the polls and saying "ME Too" after reading them. I was hoping she had a mind of her own and was encouraged by her tobacco vote, but now I see she will be a good democrat and vote party line on cap and trade and health care. Burr will vote against both for the same reasons. At least with Burr we know what he stands for and always returns emails with a personal note concerning the subject. I will campaign for his reelection.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!
poor little rich girl.
I'm calling a wambulance right now!
As I recall she ONLY made somewhere around $200K/yr. while "running" the Red Cross. That's the same year I stopped giving to the United Way. I pick my own charities now. Animal Rescue, poor folks, sick people. Oh yeah, she and Bob get congressional pensions as well. I wonder if she gets socialized medical care for life as well? At least he earned his. Thank You Bob for your Military service. I respect you for that.

He's got to be kidding me! Why don't the GOP retire her debt. She should not have gone after Kay Hagen like a desperate teen losing a boyfriend to another woman.The shame of it.

Ah. The name Coble in Foxx story threw me.

Any relation to Howard?

Coble inexplicably took to her Gmail account and curiously posted this brazen update, bragging: “Office beers. on taxpayer time. you’re welcome, fightin 5th district.”

I see Courtney Coble's Twitter account just twittered into oblivion.

Think the "appropriate disciplinary action" ends there?

Foxx spokesman Aaron Groer told Shenan: “We are looking into this matter to figure out what happened. Once we’ve established the facts, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.”

Please keep all us teabaggers up to date on this blatant abuse of taxpayer time and money by Virginia Foxx's staff.

Too good to be true

More comment bait, RTB? You've outdone yourself this time.

Let's play create your own headline.

The old media and the liberal establishment smeared Palin because she terrified them with her popularity with voters. They fear her because she is off the teather of their influence and they think they run the show.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. More power to y'all; that should certainly cause the final crash and burn of Republicans.
