Sarah Palin Targets Blue Dogs, Right Wing Dems

Posted on March 24 2010 by Congress Watcher

Sarah Palin is going after low hanging fruit. She’s chosen to target Democrats that will be easy to defeat, because they don’t have strong support from voters in their own political party.

Another Right Wing Democrat To Retire

Posted on January 16 2010 by Congress Watcher

In the 111th Congress, Vic Snyder supported very little in the way of progressive legislation, and ended up earning a total legislative score more regressive than progressive.

The Myth of Democracy in Arkansas

Posted on November 9 2009 by Congressional Aid

How can Vic Snyder get away with slacking off on the introduction of legislation to fix what ails this country? How can John Boozman get away with telling struggling Americans in the midst of the greatest recession of a generation to go to hell? How does Marion Berry manage to get re-elected after getting caught [...]

Vic Snyder, Acronym Hunter!

Posted on May 11 2009 by Congressional Aid

With all the problems facing the United States of America in 2009, what has Rep. Vic Snyder of Arkansas been up to? He has introduced just one piece of legislation to the 111th Congress: a bill to commemorate the sinking of a boat on the Mississippi River back in 1865. That’s it in terms of [...]

One Bill for Vic Snyder: Honoring the SS Sultana

Posted on April 8 2009 by Congressional Aid

If you were elected to Congress and you were told you had the opportunity to introduce one bill — just one bill — what bill would you introduce? What change would you try to bring about to improve America? Would you promote legislation to reform the health care system? Would you change the system of [...]

Republicans Vote Against Quick Oil Drilling On Existing Leases

Posted on June 29 2008 by Congress Watcher

If an oil company isn’t even using the leases of public lands they already have, why should they take on yet more leases… unless what those oil companies really want to do is just squat on their leases of public lands with oil under them only in order to prevent the oil from being drilled, thus decreasing supply and artificially driving up the cost of petroleum products so that they can make a bigger profit without doing any more work.

105 Democrats Who Betrayed the Constitution on Spying

Posted on June 20 2008 by Congress Watcher

To vote for this bill was to insult the Constitution of the United States of America, and in doing so, to insult the USA itself. A vote in favor of this bill is a betrayal of the Oath of Office every member of Congress has taken. It is unpatriotic, and a grave breach of trust.

Status of the Equal Rights Amendment

Posted on May 28 2008 by Congress Watcher

You are probably not aware of it, but the Equal Rights Amendment did not die back in the 1980s. It has been brought back to the House of Representatives and to the Senate. Both the Senate and House versions of the proposed constitutional amendment state that: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be [...]

Arkansas Democrats Help Bush Get Alberto Gonzales Off the Hook

Posted on August 6 2007 by Congress Watcher

Why did Arkansas Democrats Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Mike Ross and Vic Snyder vote to betray American liberty and pass the Republican Protect America Act? Were the Arkansas Democrats blackmailed? Was there a quid pro quo? Perhaps the Arkansas Democrats already involved in the spy program in some way, even before it was legalized. I don’t know. Help me understand how this could have happened.
