• Conservatives Dont Go After Congressman Cao Please

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  We really need to try to keep him in that seat. I will have some more thoughts on this and the particular situation he was in.

• On Representation

  
  Southern Appeal — Authority: 506
  So, anything happen this weekend?  I guess not – it’s not like the US Congress ever conducts business on the weekends. Oh, I guess there was that vote (or pair of votes).  I’m sure Harry Reid is just thrilled. Honestly, I don’t think it’s time to get too worked up.  There’s no way this version of ...

• My Thoughts On Senator David Vitters Dont Count Illegal Aliens Plan

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  I am supporting David Vitter in his U.S. Senate race . Still I dont agree with this. I find the whole thing Unconstitutional. True many people support it but well people support things that are likely against the Constitution all the time. After examining the arguments for this I find them very lacking. Our founding ...

• Godspeed, Dave Treen.

  
  RED STICK RANT — Authority: 502
  Former Louisiana governor Dave Treen died today in Metairie. Treen was one of the first Republicans I ever campaigned for (I was 12), and a major reason I am interested in politics today. He was - like my parents - a Republican back when Louisiana was a one-party Democrat state, and he scared the hell out of ...

• Bossier Council: Let them eat cake

  
  My Bossier — Authority: 429
  ‘Wham, bam, thank you m’am’ would pretty much describe the ten minute Bossier City Council meeting this afternoon, probably the shortest in the history of the city. People attending were furious at the brush-off and at the fact that for a second week they weren’t allowed to express their concerns. ...

I liked this part: ...

• Bossier City Mayor adopts bunker mentality

  
  My Bossier — Authority: 429
  Lo Walker tossed a hand grenade to the city council a couple of weeks ago and then ran for cover. He still hasn’t emerged, preferring to let the city council take the heat, and taking it they are. The bunker mentality that the administration has adopted does not sit well with either the council or the people of ...

  And So it Goes in Shreveport — Authority: 626
  Did you see Bobby Jindal on Hannity last night? I was really hoping Hannity would ask him about the NY-23 election, but no luck. Ive contacted Jindals office twice trying to get him to endorse Hoffman, but no luck. Jindal SAYS the right things, but hes still sort of "iffy" around here and gets mixed reviews . I ...

• Mayor Ray Nagin To Work For U.S. State Department

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  I mean he must have in that job in mind with his actions in Cuba. I think he will fit in quite nicely with the crowd running the show over there as to things such as Iran, Honduras, Venezuela, and now the Sudan. This trip of his to Cuba is really becoming a Louisiana scandal. You cant make some of this quotes up. See ...

  Something that might interest Louisiana readers. Soemthing we have had to endure up here for months!! That is a very dirty race for the Louisiana Supreme Court up.
