Johnny Isakson Counts Down To Non-Primary With Big Cash Party

Posted on July 9 2010 by Congress Watcher

The price for attending Isakson’s event: $2,000.00. If Senator Isakson were to go back to his home state, where there’s 10.2 percent unemployment, he’d see people living quite differently than the crowd at his Washington D.C. parties.

Independent Moon Runs On Xenophobia In Georgia

Posted on April 9 2010 by Congress Watcher

Eugene Moon also seeks to undermine the Constitution, which under the 14th Amendment guarantees that all people, citizens or not, within the jurisdiction of the laws of the USA are entitled to equal protection under those laws.

John Linder Gives Not One Progressive Vote

Posted on March 1 2010 by Congress Watcher

In the current session of Congress, John Linder has not voted for one single piece of significant progressive legislation. There’s no way that Linder’s retirement can be reinterpreted to support claims of a solidly progressive congressional retreat.

Sanford Bishop’s Wide Range of Legislation Proves Skinny

Posted on January 21 2010 by Congressional Aid

On his congressional web page, Georgia Democrat Sanford Bishop boasts that he “has authored a wide range of bills and resolutions.” In the sense that width is a measurement requiring two points, Bishop is technically correct. To date, there have been two and only two points of action for Sanford Bishop in the 111th Congress [...]

Paul Broun Takes Part In Astroturf Rally

Posted on September 7 2009 by Congress Watcher

Previous projects of Americans for Prosperity have included astroturf campaigns on behalf of tobacco companies in order to promote smoking in public places. Americans for Prosperity refuses to tell which corporations are providing the funding for its work against health care reform.

Phil Gingrey Supports Government Health Care With Earmarks

Posted on August 25 2009 by Congress Watcher

Phil Gingrey doesn’t really oppose government control over health care programs either. He crafted earmarks to support such programs just this summer, after all.

Lynn Westmoreland, A Boy After All, Gets Downity

Posted on July 14 2009 by Congressional Aid

I have to tell you in all honesty that until tonight, I thought Representative Lynn Westmoreland was a woman. Why is that? It’s not because I haven’t been paying attention to congressional affairs. In one form or another, I’ve been writing about the U.S. Congress and congressional legislation for over a decade. It’s not simply [...]

Paul Broun Runs And Hides From Climate Change

Posted on June 20 2009 by Congress Watcher

Even if the funds from the bill were used to establish a National Climate Service, what would the problem be? Climate Change is a grave problem that’s ripping billions and billions of dollars out of the American economy every year, and putting large numbers of American lives at risk.

Get Ready for Election 2008!

Posted on December 1 2008 by Congress Watcher

Election 2008 is just about to begin… (no, I’m not a month late with this) …in Louisiana and Georgia. In Georgia, there’s a runoff Senate election where bad-old Senator Saxby Chambliss (Zero Percent Progressive voting record) faces James Martin. The voting there ends today. In Louisiana, there’s a delayed general election for the seat of [...]

Doug Heckman Jumps On The Bandwagon Without Looking

Posted on July 4 2008 by Congress Watcher

Heckman is a fool. If he had actually read the FISA Amendments Act, Doug Heckman would never say that the FISA Amendments Act clarifies anything. He would come to the obvious conclusion that the FISA Amendments Act is written in order to be unclear. The law appears to give some protections, only to take them away in separate sections of text.
