During this unprecedented time in our nation’s financial history, Americans everywhere are experiencing hardships and personal crises they never would have imagined.
But with these difficult times often come great courage and perseverance.House Republicans want to know your story.
While President Obama’s team tells us that only the most successful Americans will soon be subject to a massive tax hike, the simple truth is that every single American who flips on a light switch is taxed under the President’s budget. In fact, an MIT study examining the effects of an energy tax similar to the President’s plan will cost American households an average of $3,128 per year. Republicans want to hear how this tax increase will affect your ability to pay your health care premiums, send your children to college, start a small business, or otherwise achieve your American Dream.
Now go here and tell them your story.

Wondering About Nobraina
Ausonius (Diary) Friday, March 20th at 8:33PM EST (link)My story for the Republicans: I wonder why they have practically NOBODY leading the charge every day in the media against Nobraina.
I still wonder why they nominated John McCain, when he demonstrably was their worst choice against either Hillary or Nobraina.
John Boehner and today Thaddeus McCotter have done something, but they are overwhelmed by Nobraina’s media minions spreading AgitProp.
And they are overwhelmed by Moron Republicans voting with Democrats!
Where is Palin? Where is Romney?
Where is our 21st Century Reagan?
And don’t tell me he is in Louisiana! No supposed adult named “Bobby” has a chance.

I can’t remember who said it first, but you should live by that rule.
No supposed adult who thinks like that should speak and remove all doubt.

President Bobby ? What's In A Name?
Ausonius (Diary) Saturday, March 21st at 9:40AM EST (link)Try to be nice!
We already had a President Jimmy, not to mention Bill!
The point is that Jindal should never have entered politics going by “Bobby” if he wanted to play with the big kids. Faux populism leaves me cold: that includes “Mitch” “Mike” and “Mitt” as well.
“Ronnie” Reagan anybody?
And if the contradiction puzzles you, recall that “Jimmy” ran against Ford, and Baby-Boomer Clinton ran against aging WWII vets, both of whom ran terrible campaigns.
“Bobby” should not be nominated by Republicans for national office. He can stay in Louisiana, if they like him there.
John Boehner, John Kasich (N.B. not “Johnny”) Thaddeus McCotter (not “Thad”) or of course Palin have a better shot at restoring respect and honor to the office: their personalities match a seriousness of name.
But they need to start speaking out now!

Then I guess Bobby Kennedy shouldn't have gone into politics either?
janis (Diary) Saturday, March 21st at 9:55AM EST (link)Or how about his brother, Teddy? The man’s a disgrace, but you can’t deny that he has been successfully re-elected for decades now.
If this is all you’ve got, then here’s one for you: Did you take your user name from the Latin rhetorician or did you take it from the convicted Swedish killer? Just curious.
Or the first Teddy
Beaglescout (Diary) Saturday, March 21st at 11:35AM EST (link)The Teddy Bear himself, gold old Teddy Roosevelt. I don’t think that using a diminutive version of his name prevented Theodore Roosevelt from being taken seriously any more than his congenital heart condition prevented him from living a life of action.

Ah, yes, another genius who can't master the "Reply to This"
janis (Diary) Saturday, March 21st at 11:03AM EST (link)concept. As to the gist of your comment, if there was one, those are just names. They say nothing whatsoever about the men themselves. Your notion was that if Bobby Jindalh wanted to seek higher office then he should never have gone by the name “Bobby.” My comment indicated that that alone is no bar whatsoever to winning higher office. It was not support for your stupidity.
Your pettiness over something so nit-picky leads me to believe that you had some particularly unpleasant grammar school experiences on the playground over your own name. Or perhaps you are a failed politician with no friendly sounding “populist” first name? John Kerry, is that you?
We don't call President's by the moniker

Elmo for Secretary of State! He's certainly more likable.
