The Hayride

This one’s sorta interesting. It goes back 40 years, but it’s first-class sleaze and it could well have an effect on the Nevada Senate race between incumbent Democrat Harry Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle. Namely, that Reid’s run for Lieutenant Governor in 1970 was surreptitiously bankrolled with $10,000 in cash from Joe Conforte, the [...]

“Cap and Trade” continues to haunt the oil and gas industry, the petrochemical industry, and the electrical generating industry, to name but a few who have deferred capital investment in this country partly because that threat won’t go away.  Pelosi and Waxman got it through the House of Representatives, and John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and, [...]

The Republican Party has long been labeled the party of “no,” because of their almost unified front in opposition to Democrat legislative proposals.  Just yesterday we reported on yet another occasion of that label being applied, when Harry Reid had to throw in the towel on his proposed energy bill. Reid bemoaned the fact that [...]

Harry Reid (D-NV, for now) cobbled together new Senate energy legislation that was to be debated this week, but it’s already on the shelf.  Vulnerable Democrats shied away from it, and not a single Republican would stand in support of the bill.  The “party of “no” ” is protecting us still from bad legislation. Why? [...]

As this article is being written, Election Day is 14 weeks away. The predominant chatter among political pundits is not whether there will be Republican gains, but the extent of those gains, and whether those gains can produce a Republican wave large enough to enable them to retake the House, the Senate, or both houses of Congress [...]

Again. (For now.) Some are predicting that the resurrection will occur after the November elections. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) will bring legislation to the Senate floor next week that includes select energy policy and oil-spill response measures, but which excludes policy aimed at lowering “greenhouse gas emissions.”  Such climate change legislation had already [...]
