Congresswoman Lois Capps

RINO John McCain recently flip flopped on the issue of domestic offshore oil drilling and seems to have gained a little bit of traction from people who actually believe that he is telling the truth. He isn’t, he is a fraud and he is just trying to find an issue where he and President Obama disagree. He has finally found one now that he “saw the light” and decided that he supports drilling even after years of opposing it. This has become a hot button issue and seemed to be an issue John McCain could win on. That is until now. President Obama must ... Read Full Story

Another factor in her decision has to be the “ Republican revolt ” in ... Read Full Story

At least for the time being while the research is going on and improving the science and network needed to functionally serve these new technologies. Back in ... Read Full Story

The title sums up what I have to say on this topic. Additionally, this is quite unusual for me to touch upon politics except when it pretty much immediately relates to real estate.
