As you probably know, the Democrat majority in Congress contains quite a few so-called “Blue Dog Democrats,” representatives of the party elected in districts that are relatively conservative. To a certain extent they are the mirror image of RINOs in … Continue reading →
President Obama is not a leader. By that I don’t just mean that I disagree with his agenda, or that I think he often lies to the American people, or that he’s not inspirational (although all of those statements do … Continue reading →
Obama finally has achieved a certain measure of bipartisanship. The only thing is—it’s in opposition to his health care reform bill. If a party with the huge majorities the Democrats enjoy right now in Congress is having trouble passing a … Continue reading →
Anyone who really believed Obama’s campaign rhetoric that he would govern in a bipartisan manner wasn’t paying attention to anything but his lofty words. Unfortunately, far too many of the voters fit that description. I didn’t believe Obama, but I … Continue reading →
