An Open Letter to John Boehner

    Dear Mr. Speaker, I am afraid that in negotiating with President Obama on the pending fiscal cliff that you and the Republican leadership have lost your way.  In your desire to strike a “Grand Bargain”, you risk making a “bad bargain” which will cause permanent damage to the Republican Party, alienate conservatives, and have lasting consequences for the American economy.  In a desire to make | Read More »

    Another Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for Team Obama

    Images from Yesterday: Mitt Romney speaking on the economy in front of the shuttered Solyndra plant.  A picture is worth a thousand words. David Axelrod giving his best Howard Dean impersonation, attacking Romney’s economic record as Governor of Massachusetts–a record that achieved 4.7% unemployment.  Really, David Axelrod.  I guess they don’t trust their other surrogates–Deval Patrick and Uncle Joe Biden weren’t allowed close to a | Read More »

    South Carolina to Obama: So Sue Us—Again

    Trump’s response to news that Osama is dead

    Press statement by Donald Trump “I’m very proud of the role that I played in bringing about the death of Osama bin Laden.  If this is true, then I did something that no one else has done.  Hillary couldn’t get him killed.  Bush couldn’t get him killed.  I do, however, want my experts to examine the photographs and conduct an independent DNA analysis. I hope that what | Read More »
