There are two distinctly different versions of the Health Care Summit circulating this week. Curiously enough, I’m pretty sure both were written and ready to roll before the meeting even began. In summary, the two stories are:
A) President Obama graciously invited the Republicans to participate in a Health Care Summit. He did so with the [...]
We here at Camp Campaign are not unwilling to admit when we’re wrong. It’s just that it never has happened before. So, it is with humble hearts and full disclosure that I admit that I was wrong about Scott Brown.
Last week I wrote that Brown could not win in Massachusetts. I was convinced that the [...]
The biggest story in politics this week is the race between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakely to become Ted Kennedy’s replacement in the Senate. This story is huge for two reasons. First, it shouldn’t be a tight race. This is a special election to choose a replacement for Massachusetts’ dearly [...]
Tergiversate (verb) – to abandon a party or cause
Representative Parker Griffith is a freshman senator from the state of Alabama. This week, less than a year into his first term, Rep. Griffith tergiversated from the Democratic Party to join the Republican Party. It is unusual, but not unheard of, for a politician on [...]
Harry Reid is the senior Senator from Nevada and the Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. He first was elected to the Senate in 1986 after four years in the House of Representatives. According to the biography on his official website, Reid has been in politics since the tender young age of 28, [...]
Thanksgiving is the time we set aside each year to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. Here at Camp Campaign, we thought it might be a good idea to list those things related to politics for which we are thankful this year.
I’m thankful for Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the reality show [...]
The US House of Representatives passed a flawed, unnecessary, unaffordable Health Care Bill a little while back. Now the Senate has found a way to take a bad thing and make it worse by stripping out the House amendment that eliminated federally-funded abortions from the plan.
Now, I know that abortion is a very sensitive [...]
This weekend, the House of Representatives passed the much debated Health Care Bill. This historic and monumental legislation passed by a razor thin 220-215 vote. The passage of this bill brought to mind several points that I’d like to bring out here.
There are 257 Democrats in the House, meaning this bill passed without [...]
Ironic as it may seem, the U.S. House of Representatives actually maintains an Ethics Committee. The stated purpose of this committee is to have the Representatives police themselves to prevent or punish any unseemly behavior on the part of any members of Congress. In practice, the committee mostly has served as a vehicle [...]
Ted Kennedy passed away this week. It didn’t receive the same coverage that Michael Jackson’s death did, but chances are you probably heard a little something about it these past few days. At first, the death of the popular, long time senator looked like it would be one of those moments that transcends politics [...]
