34 is the Magic Number

34 is the magic number. Forget 216. Forget 60. Think 34.

2010 Battle Cry – Repeal 2009!

With the news today that it appears Harry Reid has his 60 votes to pass a massive unconstitutional health care reform bill it’s time to get to work.
We may not be able to stop it.  It’s likely that we’re not going to stop it.  But it doesn’t mean we don’t make our best effort to [...]

The Case for Term Limits – Bad Legislation

The Case for Term Limits was bolstered by the revelation this week that much of the data used to show the effectiveness of the stimulus package was faked.  “Jobs created or saved” were “created” in districts that don’t exist.
First, those responsible should be fired.  Anyone caught making up data should be fired for either being [...]

Patrick’s Health Care Reform Plan

In memory of all those killed by terrorists on 9/11.

Vindication!

Today a Rasmussen Reports poll came out stating that 57% of the people surveyed stated they would prefer to throw out ALL of the members of Congress and start over. At TfTL we’re more surprised that this number is down 2% from last October when the so called “stimulus” bill was passed.
