Americans Still The Center Of America

From Human Events ~ Two and half weeks out from the Iowa caucuses, here's where we stand:

The Bush presidency is generally unpopular.

Congress is now even more unpopular than the Bush presidency.

The Republicans have failed to live up to people's expectations of them.

Now, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) are doing a much poorer job of getting things done than the Republicans were.

But thankfully, Washington is not the center of America.

Americans still remain the center of America.

Human Events: Censure Pete Stark

Human Events has called for California Congressman Pete Stark to be censured by the U. S. House: "The Constitution gives the House the right to censure a member for misconduct or inappropriate words or behavior," Human Events notes. "According to the Congressional Research Service, the majority of the 22 censures of members in House history 'concerned issues of decorum, that is, the use of un-parliamentary or insulting language on the floor of the House or acts of violence towards other members.' In other words, precisely what Congressman Stark did last week. Congressman Pete Stark has dishonored the entire House with his despicable remarks."

Senate candidate Andrew Rice of Oklahoma. The Washington Post reported October 5th that for the 2008 presidential election Republicans trail Democrats in fundraising by nearly $100 million "a gap that is unprecedented in 30 years." A new initiative, Slatecard, is trying to close that gap.
