House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and their congressional Republican colleagues deserve credit for the the Democratic leadership's decision to abandon the destructive moratorium on offshore drilling. But Republicans shouldn't celebrate too much, because they are staring disaster in the face - in the form of the Bush administration's mortgage- bailout plan, which is almost certain to cost much more than the $700 billion now being proposed. Part of the reason that the Democrats folded on drilling is that, given the reality of $4-a- gallon gas prices, the moratorium had become a political liability. But the mortgage-bailout issue offers a golden opportunity to lay a political trap for the Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Majo...

The $700 billion Wall Street rescue package isn't playing favorites on the campaign trail: Both Republican and Democratic incumbents are under fire for backing the bailout. While presidential rivals Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama both supported the Bush administration's rescue plan, the congressional vote on the bailout is figuring prominently in a large number of close House and Senate races this fall, with supporters of the bill in the hot seat in race after race.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service began accepting H-1B visa applications for fiscal year 2010 on April 1. As of April 7, the limit had not been reached, marking the first time in recent years that the government had not received the necessary number of petitions to meet the cap within the first week, according to law firm Jackson Lewis. As part of the massive stimulus package, Congress imposed H-1B restrictions on companies that receive federal bailout funding. Sens Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, and Charles Crassky, R-Iowa, are expected to reintroduce a bill that would place higher requirements on all companies that use the visa. H-1B opponents assert that using the visas is especially galling this year.

Their reasons differed, but all eight Arizona members of the U.S. House found common ground in voting against a proposed $700 billion bailout of the nation's failing financial industry. When the Senate passed an amended version of the bill, however, cracks started to appear in the united front. The Senate version of the bill had a number of new provisions, including $108 billion in tax breaks for businesses and families. The bill also temporarily raised the amount of money insured in bank accounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to $250,000 from $100,000, and extended tax credits for wind and solar energy.

This research examines influences on the 2008 presidential election. With an unpopular Republican president, an unpopular war, and a slumping economy, 2008 looked to be a good year for the Democrats. On the other hand, open seat elections historically have been close and less affected by retrospective considerations. Moreover, partisanship, ideological polarization, and contested nominations in both parties inclined the electorate to an even division. McCain's more centrist record and Obama's race also seemed to favor the Republicans. Taken together, these factors set the stage for a closely decided election. It was shaping up that way in the polls until the Wall Street meltdown hit in mid-September. It was the "game changer" that tipped the election to Obama.

Once again, [Barack Obama] has successfully tied [John McCain] to the failed economic policies of President [George W. Bush]. Obama is clearly pointed out that the nation spends $10 billion per month in Iraq-that should be use for domestic purposes-while ignoring the Iraqi surplus of about $80 billion. Prior to the Wall Street crisis. McCain boldly stated, "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" echoing Bush's sentiments. McCain also admitted, "Economics is not something I've understood as well as I should have, and one of the differences between me and Senator Obama is that he wants to continue this spending spree," When Bush came into office, there was a surplus in the treasury. Now the deficit is in the trillions and McCain has voted with Bush over 90 percent of the times. Many ...
