The Economy is Something to be Proud About One thing you won't hear Democrats attacking Bush over any time soon will be the economy. Earlier this year I predicted that the unemployment rate would reach a 4.9 percent low. I was wrong; the current rate is 4.7 percent. People are more confident about their job security and are now spending more. Companies are also more confident and are investing more money into business  ¶ 8:04 PM 1 comments

  Senate Fails on Immigration If a wide receiver caught a ball and was heading to the end zone with no one threatening to tackle him, you will never see him stop turn around, and throw the ball into the crowd, but that is exactly what the Senate did last week with immigration. They had a widely supported bipartisan bill that would have made nearly everyone happy. Unfortunately a few republican senators threw a fit and were able to get amendments on the bill that killed it. The majority of my fellow republicans who supported the bill should have showed no loyalty to these Senators, and should have passed the bill. Everyone in the Senate just made themselves look inept and incompetent. They should realize that the incumbency re election rate in the Senate for their failure. I suggest to the Republicans who allowed these amendments to look back at what they lost and see what this bill could have done. They should then come back after the recess and pass this bill with out the amendments.  ¶ 6:49 PM 0 comments
