Posted on January 29th, 2010 by Stephen

Maybe not but, hey, it’s a start.
As Michelle Malkin says, good for all of them.

Rasmussen: Voters Scream “No!” To “Cadillac Tax”

Posted on January 20th, 2010 by Stephen

In Obama space, no one can hear you scream.
Voters aren’t happy with the latest tax proposed to help pay for the trillion-dollar national health care plan, and they’re even unhappier with exempting labor unions from that tax.

Posted on January 18th, 2010 by Stephen

The race for the right to represent the GOP in California’s upcoming gubernatorial election is another one of those head-scratchers that the oft-rumored Republican party here is known for producing. Meg Whitman, whose Republican credentials don’t extend much beyond her voter registration, has a comfortable over Steve Poizner in most polls at this point.
