Idaho Statesman reporter Dan Popkey is all over the news this week, following publication of his long-awaited outing piece on Sen. Larry Craig. Roll Call beat the Idaho paper to the punch with its report earlier this week on Craig’s arrest and guilty plea stemming from the now infamous restroom incident. But Popkey had spent months investigating the rumors of Craig’s homosexuality, which date back to at least 1982. In December, Popkey visited me at my Blade office in D.C. to ask whether I knew anything about Craig’s sexual orientation. We spent about an hour talking about his assignment, which...

WASHINGTON - The White House emphatically renewed President' Bush's threat to veto a bill heading toward Senate passage that would authorize federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, a practice Bush loathes. "If (the bill) were presented to the president, he would veto the bill," read a fresh official statement of administration policy Monday, with the sentence underlined for emphasis.

I am proud that the Senators from Texas did not vote for this. I do believe that the other Senators should be voted out of office. I am surprise at some of the one who voted for it and other not so shocked at all!! Lynn Richards Make sure everyone is informed and that they vote. This should really get your knickers in a knot!! Below is a list of U.S. Senators who just voted to give illegal aliens Social Security benefits; in essence, your FICA monies. Money to people who are here illegally.

In one of the more lopsided decisions in recent memory, the Republican baseball team dealt the Democrats their sixth straight defeat in the 45th Annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game, winning 12-1.

What follows is a listing of the Senators who voted AGAINST the S. 2611 amnesty bill. I have expanded the list to include each Senator's comments specific to the legislation, where available, and listed the link to their e-mail address or contact form. I have now sent a message of "Thank You" and support to each one. I hope many of you will want to do the same in greater of lesser degree, perhaps contacting only your own Senator and a few others, hopefully all. I tried to make it *easy* for you. WHY DO SO? Many of these Senators...

We may have lost this battle, but we are going to win the war! Last night, 23 Republican Senators voted in favor of a bill (S. 2611 - the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006) that will give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens; but the battle is far from over and the movement to secure our borders first has gained a great deal of momentum. Two weeks ago, Senate leaders boasted that they had over 70 votes in favor of S. 2611. They fell well short of that number and the credit goes to all of you. Your Blast...

Roll Call - Iraq The U.S. House voted today on a resolution to stay the course in Iraq until the final victory over those terror-filth is achieved. The partisan breakdown of that vote will not surprise any long-term and sentient observers of U.S. politics: ( SEE HERE : http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll648.xml) 220/220 = Republicans for freedom and democracy (100%). Ron Paul and Rep. Leach voted “present.” 59/167 = Democrats for freedom and democracy (35%). Thirty-two Democrats voted “present,” including such noted librulz as Rahm Emanuel, Steny Hoyer and Loretta Sanchez. On the other hand, there’s this: 108/167 = Dems for cuttin’ ‘n...
