Despite all of the sanctimony. Despite taking to the Senate floor to call two men who have done more for this country than Reid ever has, “un-American” and despite his attempts to gut the first amendment, there has never been much pushback from the media on his claims that Charles and David Koch are using …

The mid-terms elections aren’t even here yet and the media are already crafting the narrative that Mitt Romney must save the Republican Party from obsolescence. To be fair, the Right began searching for a savior shortly after the polls came in on November 7th, 2012 – the polls showing Romney had lost, of course. Thus …

Again, a couple weeks ago, Karl Rove gave an example of why he is a top opinion spokesman for the “stupid party” when he questioned whether Hillary Clinton has brain damage. As Jay Caruso advised then, let the media bring that up rather than let Hillary thrive as the supposed victim of an unfair attack from the Right. …

“Hope and change.” It was the grand rhetorical steed on which this President rode into office rather easily. I’ll give you that it was a clever PsyOps tool. Even before the “late in the campaign” economic collapse, Americans were suffering from the psychological fatigue of the news cycle of war. The daily count of the …

The race for Illinois Governor pits four Republicans against two Democrats, though realistically the incumbent will probably win the Democratic primary. While all four Republican poll above Governor Pat Quinn (D-Chicago), the race features a near-billionaire, a State Treasurer embroiled in a sex scandal, the 2010 Republican nominee, and fellow who praised Obama in a …
Readers with political memories that stretch all the way back to the antediluvian mists of 2008 (when Twitter was only two years old!) will remember Alaska’s infamous “Bridge To Nowhere,” which became a symbol of wasteful pork barrel spending. Well, it seems like New Jersey has decided to have its own bridge-related scandal – this time involving …

For the last 20 years, the city of New York has been run by Republican Mayors: Rudy Giuliani from 1994-2001 and Mike Bloomberg from 2002-2013. Faults aside (particularly Bloomberg’s incessant nanny-statism), it was a terrific run. Only those who saw NYC in the late 70′s and 80′s through the early 90′s know what an absolutely …

Lights are twinkling on tree branches, calendars have reached their last pages, and — soon enough — there will be nostalgic columns written about the year just passed. These columns would be remiss to skip over Edward Snowden’s leaks regarding the National Security Administration’s domestic surveillance of American citizens. It isn’t necessary to regale you …

How can conservatives and Republicans reach out to Hispanic voters in the future? This question has been the topic of much discussion among the politicos since Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election to Barack Obama. 71% of Hispanics voted for Obama compared with only 27% for Romney. As Hispanics are becoming a larger and larger …

Democratic politicians are in a curious position right now. Consider the dilemma: after the party’s near total unity when rallying for Obamacare, the legislation’s inherent flaws are becoming so obvious that the public’s image of the administration is shifting. Those sinking approval ratings do bear on the president’s party. Case in point: the 2010 midterms. …
