Dr. Maureen Reed: “It’s Not a Technical Problem, Its A Political Problem”

Wright and Left Report

"Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom... Terrorism? Yes. That's not the big battle," he said. "The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren't liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country." - Republican Allen Quist, running for congress in Minnesota's first congressional district.

Do we need another ideologue in Congress like Allen Quist? I say that not to just single out Republicans for their views. Both parties are seemingly cemented in their ideologies today, and that's caused a gridlock that has the potential to affect millions of American lives. But it has not extinguished all the bright stars in the sky. In fact, one particular star seems to be burning brighter than ever.

Bachmann Sides with Wall Street not Minnesotans

Bachmann Votes against Wall Street Reform and Protecting Consumers While taking over $400,000 from the Financial Industry

Over the weekend, the House passed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009. This legislation aims to significantly reform the financial industry including: creating an independent agency solely devoted to protecting consumers from abusive financial products, giving shareholders a say on executive pay and golden parachutes, and begins to establish a process for failing financial institutions that would end bailouts, protect taxpayers, and prevent the financial failure of one institution from spreading throughout the rest of industry. Bachmann voted against the legislation.
