I said a few weeks ago that I would try to continue this blog and so my attempts begin today. Yesterday I checked out Michelle Malkin's page and found a very humorous yet poignant remainder of the divide on Capitol Hill. Check it out...
Honestly, I thought it was a Saturday Night Live skit. I mean, here is the President of the United States calling on our leaders to make sure the government doesn't take more of our hard-earned money. And here is half the room (the democrats) sitting idly with their thumbs up their backsides while the republican half applauds.
It should smack all of us in the face when we watch this to see the left side of our elected leadership unhappy at the idea of giving the taxpayer a break. Forget their issues with the budget, the deficit, war spending...this was a simple statement about the money you work hard to earn.
The last thing I thought I would blog about this morning was Nancy Pelosi. I've got a whole list of topics I'm ready to rant about; Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and DC protestors. But this topic just caught my attention because of how excited I am to read and respond to the speakers left-wing rhetoric. What is this dribble you speak of RR?
WASHINGTON -- Shortly after her swearing-in as the first female House speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi took time to field questions from a few dozen Internet bloggers on a conference call that was off limits to mainstream media.
Last week, Pelosi's aides arranged for bloggers to question two Democratic House leaders on another conference call shortly before President Bush's State of the Union speech.
Pelosi also hired a full-time staff member this month dedicated to blogger outreach, and is making plans to launch a blog of her own. The day she was sworn in, bloggers were given special accommodations at the Capitol to cover the event, and fed lunch.
It's all evidence of the newfound attention bloggers from left-leaning Web sites are commanding on Democratic-run Capitol Hill, especially from the new speaker, a San Franciscan with an appreciation for the power of the Internet and grass-roots activism.
Then again, I doubt it considering the amount of false information that comes from a politician like Pelosi. Having someone like Malkin at the table would only derail the high-powered political machine that is the DNC. And we would never want our poor speaker to have to answer a tough question, now would we.
Take her latest post on Huff Puff. The first thing she talks about is ethics. And yet, one of the first things she does as speaker is leave a major tuna company in her San Francisco district exempt from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved. Don't expect an answer to why any time soon. But do expect this blog to keep a close eye on the Pelosi-blog the moment it goes live.

Welcome to the official site of the Real Republican. This is the spot where you can get all the juicy details on the major issues of our day and learn the true Republican perspective. Seriously take a read, because much of what you know or think you know is wrong and coming from someone who is getting paid to mislead you.
Some minor details about me is the fact that I'm a political junkie that will blow away your stereotype of the typical conservative. I'm cultured, educated, into sports, into clubs, nightlife, music and love photography. I spend much of my time reading, writing, working out, running and dancing swing and lindy-hop.
The biggest reason I started this blog was because of the ignorance that permeates through much of America and our political world. Too often our elected officials are making decisions based on the good of their own campaign and not of the people they represent. So The Real Republican is a way to real them back in and tell it like it is from my point of view. Read on and enjoy!
