Several states are looking at immigration legislation in their state legislatures now, and of course the illegal community is up in arms about this. Come and see which states that are proposing new bills and our ideas on how to make sure people aren't "singled out" for racism.

Been wondering about favoritism? So have some of the Republicans who are going to start using their new subpoena power to investigate who is getting what and what they are receiving it for. And it is certainly starting to appear that there is good reason for an investigation.

What is it with the left and their attempts to make sure that nothing the right does or says EVER gets any credit or viewing - we just wrote an article detailing the attacks on real viable cuts and now attacks on fixes for two entitlement programs don't get discussion, but fear. Comments please!

What are they thinking? November 2010 didn't count? That we really don't care if we bankrupt everything? That it's all ok to keep adding to what we know is a problem and have them poo poo us like it isn't really there? Do you feel the patronizing pat on the head? Does it make you angry? Special note: You see who is proposing this - 2 just reelected and one who feels safe in his state.

Lisa Murkowski promised to get out of the race if she lost the primary. Lisa ran as an independent promising to support the GOP, promising to stay conservative like the Alaskan voters wanted. Lisa won based on ideals that the voters bought - lock, stock and barrel. Everyone loves an underdog right? Question is, what flag will she fly in the Congress?

When is enough enough? When does the helping of friends stray into the scratching of backs in an improper or illegal manner? Questions will abound over the course of many political "regimes" from local to Federal, but this seems particularly telling considering the already touchy nature of the subject matter - Health Care Waivers. Is this illegal cronyism - you tell us!
