MidwestHeroes.com is causing a fuss by making a tv spot that refutes the standard template the MSM has hammered home regarding the GWOT. They seem to have struck a nerve. There is nothing counterfactual in the ad. There are no accusations, no slander or libel. Rather, they simply speak about their own experience and why they get annoyed with the coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
