News flash: the economy still stinks.  If you blame the government, you have shocking company in The Buffalo News, which ran a story Sunday on how the feds aren’t quite fixing everything or anything.  Unfortunately, the paper claims that Washington is at fault for a curious reason, namely because...

In less than a year, every member of the U.S House is up for reelection. That means, every member who voted for government-run health care has a chance to be voted out. Right now, however, I cannot stress the importance of supporting members of Congress who stood up for the taxpayers, and against the...

Imagine if the National Republican Congressional Committee had supported Doug Hoffman from the start.  Instead of throwing money at a left-winger who remained on the ballot after she quit and repaid the organization by endorsing her erstwhile Democratic foe, Hoffman would be running for re-election...

Politico’s Patrick O’Connor ranks Rep. Chris Lee as one of Congress’s “Rookies of the Year.” A political neophyte just a year ago, New York Rep. Chris Lee looks like a veteran lawmaker when he’s interacting with colleagues on the House floor. And he’s fostered close...

Chris Lee and Alice Kryzan are debating on WBEN right now. It seems to me that Alice only knows how to blame the Bush Administration for all the problems the country is dealing with now, but doesn’t have a single solution.  Listening to Alice talk she truly earns the nickname “Alice In Liberaland.”...

For a while now I’ve heard rumors about Alice Kryzan’s legal career… Apparently she worked at quite a few law firms: Phillips Lytle, LLC Whiteman Osterman & Hanna Kryzan & Kolaga Buchanan-Ingersoll Harris Beach & Wilcox That is a lot firms to have worked over 26 years.....

I’ve just learned that Jon Powers will indeed remain on the WFP line on the ballot on Tuesday. A federal court ruled moments ago… This reverses the decision earlier today that gave Kryzan the WFP line…

The Buffalo Bean recently had the opportunity to interview Chris Lee, candidate for U.S. Congress in New York’s 26th district. The interview was conducted via email and is posted below: THE BUFFALO BEAN: You have been the target of some false negative ads put out by the DCCC on behalf of Alice Kryzan....

…of course, if the SurveyUSA poll is at all accurate, the courts forcing her on the WFP line (in spite of legal precedent) won’t exactly make a difference. Alice Kryzan has won a coveted second ballot line in Tuesday’s election for Congress in the 26th district, thanks to an appellate...
