John Kline A new Gallup poll released Monday shows Republicans with a record 10-point edge over Democrats on the "generic ballot" test — the question of whether voters prefer a Democratic or Republican congressional candidate. It’s the largest GOP polling edge at this stage in the 68 years of the generic ballot poll.

The party's lead on a "generic ballot" is the largest in the Gallup poll's 68-year history.

    • Michael Benkovic Let's not get cocky. This poll doesn't necessarily translate into individual races. We still need to show that we can lead. That we are different than Tax And Spend Liberals. And that we have a vision for America's future that differs from Obama's drowning in debt future for America.

John Kline I was pleased to visit with Chip Cravaack on Friday at the Minnesota State Fair. Chip, a Republican running for U.S. Congress in Minnesota's 8th District, is challenging Rep. Jim Oberstar. If elected, Chip promises to give our children and grandchildren the same freedoms, the same opportunities, and the same country that our parents and grandparents gave us.

      Yes, Oberstar has been due for retirement years and years ago. I am sick of his form letter responses back to me that doesn't even respond to our questions. He has been a failure for the 8th District over the years but he continually stre...tches the true so much just to make himself look good. The 8th District folks need to sharpen their minds and pencils to replace Oberstar. I don't think he even held a Health Care Town Hall meeting. At least he never responded to my inquiry when and were. A failed politician in my mind for the 8th District.See More

John Kline The AP released the results of a fact-check that refutes White House claims of the success of the stimulus.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration claimed this week that $100 billion invested in innovative technologies under the economic stimulus law is "transforming the American economy" by putting the nation on track for technological breakthroughs in health care, energy and transportation.

    • Colin Olson Can we pick items up there for display or is it simply a place for campaign managers and organizers to get their items to distribute? I need new lawn signs!

John Kline After nearly 400 days of ignoring House Republican solutions, Congressional Democrats are finally ready to discuss Fannie and Freddie.

news.yahoo.com
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be abolished rather than reformed as part of the Obama administration's planned overhaul of the government's role in housing finance, Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services committee, said on Tuesday.
August 18 at 8:28am · Comment ·
    • Chris Walden Since he has been ignoring these shouts from the public for so long, he will assume that dissolving Freddie and Fannie are his idea. Then again, "what to replace it with" IS his idea. How about, "replace it with NOTHING", Barney?

    • Kate Beaugrand Cook Watch your back GOP - Barney is a scum-sucking-bottom-feeder of the best kind! Cover all the bases, double-check the deal before there's a chance to have it backlash on conservative values.

    • Debbie Turner Why doesn't Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac go back to their original guidelines before they watered them down in the 1990s? Worked well for many years with the strict guidelines.

John Kline I was honored this week to be named a "Taxpayer Hero" by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste for my "unparalleled commitment to cutting wasteful spending, reducing the tax burden, and making government more accountable to taxpayers."

Americans have had enough with the big-spending, overreaching, backroom-dealing culture that is pervasive in Washington. Unfortunately, Washington refuses to listen. Despite what the majority of Americans are saying, the President, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continue...
