Iraq and Healthcare: Americans are Being Insulted

by: RDemocrat

Fri Nov 20, 2009 at 17:25:26 PM EST

Many of us have argued against the Iraq War for some time now and more of the cost and scope of the failure in that war is emerging as it begins to come to an end. At a time when America is debating whether to invest in it's own people or not, I think we should remember that a great many of the Senators that will be debating Universal Healthcare if they even vote to do that were all for the extended war in Iraq and the wasted money invested there.

The "War on Terror" is Still a Failure

by: RDemocrat

Fri Jun 19, 2009 at 22:29:45 PM EDT

Like many I was against the War in Iraq, but believed we had some business to conduct operations in Afganistan in a responsible way. Now, hundreds of billions and probably over a trillion dollars later it does not feel very warm and fuzzy to be proven right on Iraq, and on the "War on Terror" in general. It also does my ego no good to watch my party continue the failed initiatives of the worst president in American history.

Unemployment Figures Show Failure of Kentucky Republican Representation

by: RDemocrat

Fri Jun 19, 2009 at 21:27:15 PM EDT

As if we needed even more evidence of the failure of Kentucky's Congressional delegation which has included such visionless folks such as Mitch McConnell, Jim Bunning, Ed Whitfield, Geoff Davis, and Hal Rogers it has come across the wire. The consequences of their many years of rubber-stamping the failed Bush policies of spend, spend, and dole out Corporate welfare and de-regulation is now being felt.

Kentucky Pork Kings: Hal Rogers and "The Airport in Nowhere"

by: RDemocrat

Sun May 24, 2009 at 23:41:51 PM EDT

In this diary I detailed the "Kentucky Pork Kings" Ed Whitfield and Hal Rogers, who combined asked for $1 billion in earmarks, all while hypocritically lecturing the rest of us on the need to be "fiscally responsible". Now, some facts about some of this stir-fried pork requested by Rogers are emerging and they would be comical if it would not be straddling a small Kentucky city with added debt.

Kentucky Congressional Republican Pork Kings

by: RDemocrat

Mon Apr 20, 2009 at 23:45:33 PM EDT

Kentucky has long been known for several things. One of them is racehorses. Another is tobacco. Yet another is coal. And what would a discussion about Kentucky be without a mention of Bourbon and Basketball??

Some Iraqi Fraud May Yet Go Punished

by: RDemocrat

Fri Apr 10, 2009 at 23:03:32 PM EDT

We all remember the no-bid contracts we were so opposed to under the last administration. Now, it has long appeared that all the crimes committed on all levels in this fiasco will go unpunished. Although we are still far from punishing the lies and propoganda unleashed on the American people to start this war, after a court ruling hopefully at least part of the rampant fraud that will cost Americans well over a trillion dollars will be punished.
