The Banishment Of Paul Broun
Republican/Tea Party Representative Paul Broun, M.D., (GA-10), is typical of the recycled, perpetual losing candidate that has found the Tea Party attractive. Broun made unsuccessful runs at public office in 1990, 1992 and 1996. Suddenly he made another appearance during … Continue reading

The Endorsement Of Shelley Berkley
There are two overriding reasons to endorse Shelley Berkley for the United States Senate from Nevada: because she is Shelley Berkley and because she is not Dean Heller. Nevadans are faced with the classic choice of a candidate that represents … Continue reading

As America Bleeds
My pet name for the 112th Congress is the Do Harm Congress. I’m sure many dismiss it as partisan hyperbole. If you were a physician mowing your lawn and you came across a bleeding body lying on the sidewalk and … Continue reading
