The Case for Term Limits – Turn Over

The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing and created a fantastic system. It is our arrogance, or more to the point, the arrogance of our elected officials that think they have a better system.

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.

Eric Massa

The health care town hall meetings have provided lots of fodder for those who are concerned about their representatives. New York Congressman Eric Massa has added to the pile with his on camera admission that he would vote against the interests of the voters in his district.

Town Hall of Shame

With the recent protests, we’ve decided to post up a Town Hall of Shame. We’ll try and update videos from various town hall meetings with representatives who can’t actually defend the health care bills and choose to attack those who would question potential policy.

David Scott

Nothing gets up the ire of a congressman more than being challenged on their positions. I’ve personally seen this when I’ve sent letters to my representatives. Watch this video of Congressman David Scott not being able to deal with being challenged.

From Protest to Progress

A Google search of the health care protests, along with a review of what the Democrats have been saying about the protesters show the real motives of the party in power. They don’t care what we think. They want to increase their power and control.

There Is Little New Under the Sun

There is really nothing new under the sun. This cartoon (click on it to see a larger version) was published in 1934. The names are different, but the sentiment is the same.

A Modest Proposal

Health care is in the news. It can’t help but be. President Obama has pledged to talk about it until congress does something. We’re in a crisis, we’re told. Something has to be done now. For the moment, let’s accept the false premise the federal government should do anything about health care. For the moment, let’s agree that something must be done.

Senate Week

In honor of the Senate judiciary committee hearings for Sonia Sotomayor, we’re going to be featuring the members of the judiciary committee up for reelection in 2010.

Roland Burris

July 13, 2009 – UPDATE: Roland Burris has announced he will not run for reelection. This is great news! Hopefully, he’ll go back to private life and find success there… Roland Burris wasn’t elected, so technically, he can’t be reelected to his Illinois senate seat. He was appointed by impeached Rod Blogovich to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant seat.
