      The End of the Standard-Issue Politician

      INGO, I have been talking myself out of this for years... I'm a no-name but I'm also a combat Veteran, medically retired Chief, husband, father, Christian, conservative, problem-solver who sees a lot of problems in DC. I have a little money but a lot more energy. I'm tired of the standard...

      Dems vow to block GOP budget bills... because they don't spend enough.

      Harry Reid to block spending bills - Rachael Bade and John Bresnahan - POLITICO Remember that little thing called the sequester that set caps on spending since congress just couldn't figure out a way to function without burning money? It seems Harry Reid and his crew have grown tired of...

      Why is INGO not talking about DHS funding?

      Congress barely meets DHS deadline - CNN.com I thought INGO would be all over this fight over DHS funding, but so far I've seen nothing. It's got all the hot button elements INGO loves to talk about: gridlocked congress, funding for a bloated .gov dept, stopping the president's executive...

      Senators "Classify" Their Votes On Arming Syria (And Other Things)

      Gods forbid we actually know what these tools stances are on important subjects. They're going to go ahead and play around in Syria and they don't want us to know who voted for what. I hate these *******s more and more every day. In a free country there should be no classification of these...

      ATF another government agency beings used to harass O's enemies?

      The IRS, EPA, DHS all seem to have scandals surfacing showing the abuse of government power to harass or intimate people the current administrations sees as enemies. Should the ATF be added to that list? I have heard rumors of increased visits from ATF agents to FFL and the wait for class III...

      Rand is Kickin Butt

      Have been listening to his filibuster for a couple hours. It's a good schoolin on the Constitution. Several senators have come back to the chamber to talk, too. His main theme is domestic drone use. He brought up things like if you are pro life, believe in the Contitution....you mght be a...

      Congress Relinquishes the Advise and Consent Roll of Senate

      On July 31st, the House of Representatives passed a bill (261-116) that ends the consent process for Presidential appointees by the U.S. Senate. The Senate passed this overwhelmingly in 2011. The President is expected to sign this into law. Why would the Congress abrogate its Constitutional...

      What is/should be the role of congress?

      I've got a couple of questions for you INGO. Call it a "find your political roots" post. What is/should be the role of congress? How do you know that congress is representing the will of the people?

      We Don't Need No Stinking Congress

      It appears that our Defense department may take orders directly from the President and not even bother consulting with Congress. From my personal interpretation of the video I seen today, it seems like Panetta shocked a congressional hearing by claiming he only needs to consult with the...

      Great Year In Congress

      Who says gridlock isn't to be desired? The congressional critters, in a state of gridlock, only managed to pass a paltry 80 bills last session, mostly just minor crap. That's a new record! They were so busy with their pissing matches that they didn't manage to get much of anything done, thank...

      Super Committee=Same Old Same Old

      The Council of 12 is proving to be just a mini version of the House and Senate. From the looks of this article, it's the same BS, just on a smaller level. Deficit-cutting supercommittee has its work cut out for it | The Indianapolis Star | indystar.com

      $174,000 salary is not enough?

      Really? Wish my wife and I could make half as much! We have a mortgage, car payment, and two student loans. We get by. Unreal, they should make what an E-1 in the military makes. Are members of Congress paid enough? | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

      HR 2796. Requiring Super Congress Transparency

      I suggest e-mails to our reps and sens to get this addition passed I don't like the idea of 12 (politically) selected people being able to decide on how the tax payers' money is spent with no oversight no input. This bill would require open hearings and broadcast of the Super Congress'...

      Congress' Select Committee - Will they git 'er done?

      Now that all 12 apostles have been appointed, will they be able to accomplish something positive or will it be gridlock politics as usual? I would like to be an optimist and believe they will actually propose some worthwhile legislation. A more simple and fair tax code; smaller government...

      'Super Congress': New legislative body was reason for the debt ceiling theatrics

      Whew... the crisis has been averted. Congress overwhelmingly supported raising the debt ceiling and fundamentally changing the way congress works. Did you know that they created a new legislative body in averting this crisis? A committee of legislative overlords who will effectively turn...
