When the House agreed to give subpoena powers to President Barack Obama’s newly formed oil-spill commission, 420 members voted for the plan and only one voted against it: Texas Republican Ron Paul.

A spokeswoman for Paul declined to elaborate on the congressman’s vote.

7. Reduction in income tax.

8. No economy killing cap and trade BS.

9. Eliminate the EPA and the Department of Education. (Really, really wishful thinking. Anyone who wants to get elected won’t advocate this)

I understand Palin endorsing McCain even though we believe she was wrong. We have to hold our noses over some things that are just plain political.

7. Eliminate the IRS - Tax on our labor is illegal and unconstitutional. The IRS is a foreign owned corporation. (Revised)

9. Eliminate ALL depts and agencies not authorized by the Constitution. (Revised)

When 9 is accomplished the budget is immediately balanced, and with the IRS and income tax gone.

We are in TOTAL agreement! What’s the name of our party? :)

The party name needs to be short, memorable, and pack a punch. It needs to reek ‘motherhood and apple pie’.
