The tragedy that is unfolding in Tucson, Arizona has quickly turned into a political statement. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was holding an event at a local Safeway parking lot called “Congress on Your Corner”.  These events afford her constituents an opportunity to meet with her and air their concerns regarding the issues that affect them, their

The 111th Congress is finished and out of here, thank God! So, we look ahead. 2011 brings a majority of Republicans in the House. Senate, well, we’re still lacking. I hope we get closer to the goal in the next four years. The new members have a big job ahead of them. Not only do

In this most important season please take time to remember and silently thank those that have given their lives for our country. Our men and women in the armed forces have given so much to keep our freedoms alive.  Their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families have enabled America to be free and allowed

It came as a shock to ABC News reporter Diane Sawyer that Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper had no idea of the 12 terror- related arrests in Great Britain on Monday.

The live press conference yesterday with Obama and Bill Clinton was simply surreal. The fact that Obama brought in Bill Clinton not because he was having  problems with the Republicans. No, no. No, he couldn’t convince or even cajole members of his own party to support this tax legislation.   As the  leader of the Democratic

Let’s see if I have this straight:  the election results were due to a “misunderstanding” and” failed communication skills”.   That’s why, according to Barack Obama, Republicans won all those seats in the House, took over governorships and returned 19 state legislators to the GOP. I see. When asked how he felt about the takeover during

Republicans are in a unique situation to make up for their years of fiscal debauchery in Congress and general stupidity that enabled the leftists to take over this country. This upcoming election is more important than any election in our history. It will dictate whether we regain our freedom (notice I said regain, not retain)

Well, results of the primaries are in. Lots of surprises; good ones at that. Now comes the hard part. Here in NH there was the Sarah Palin backed candidate for Senate, Kelly Ayotte, who pulled it out with a squeaker.  She has a tough campaign ahead; Paul Hodes is a tough campaigner. Don’t look for
