The Political Ploy Gets Thickened With Hypocrisy
As The House Republicans grandstanded in Congress with their Phantom Session, facts began pouring out of the gasbags’ tanks proving their inherent dishonesty, and asswards ho revisionary illusions.
House Republicans are gearing up to continue their revolt of Congress’ adjournment for at least the next two weeks - right up [...]

Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), calls the Bates decision against the Bush Administration a “political ruse” and then, as the head Republican Politician in the House, runs away:
Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) dismissed the court ruling as a hollow victory for Democrats since the White House is very likely to appeal the decision, [...]

American Founding Father, Luther Martin opposed the Constitution. One of the reasons he did so was that he believed treaties could be used to tyrannically override liberty.
To place this matter in a proper point of view, it will be necessary to state, that as the propositions were reported by the committee of the whole house, [...]

Independents: Lieberman-Yea - Sanders-Nay
Of Note: McCain couldn’t be bothered to show-up, and Alabama’s Pro-Torture Senator, Jeff Sessions, weaseled off somewhere, as he’d been around [...]

Our Natural Rights are NOT defined by The Constitution. [...]

A few more glossy-eyed Paulifried, passing disinformation trash without even a fucking clue.
Ron Paul DID NOT speak out against the FISA Bill on the House Floor on June 20, 2008. In fact, Ron Paul wasn’t even on the House Floor June 20, 2008. He was in Missoula, Montana to keynote at the State Republican [...]

Conservatives used to possess honour, standing their ground come hell or high water, upon the firm foundations of their immutable principles. Conservatism, as a political theory, has become noxiously contaminated over the last two plus decades.
