In the embodiment of tea party-backed opponent Richard Mourdock, Sen. Dick Lugar of Indiana is facing his toughest challenger ever in today’s Republican primary election.

“The Republican Party will need the help of grassroots activists like you to achieve victory this November.
It is your hard work and dedication that will deliver Florida for our presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney, and we all agree that you can’t win the White House without winning Florida.”

President Barak Hussein Obama will need to make a choice if he and America will stand by the North Sudanese Islamist President Omar al-Bashir or the The Democratic Republic of South Sudan…

Tea party supporters will readily recall former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s teary eyed performance as she stood before the media and spoke of the ‘frightening rhetoric’ coming from the grassroots movement, and how this led news coverage all across the nation.
The blatantly false claims of tea party activists ’spitting’ on members of the Congressional Black Caucus still resonates in the media to this very day…

U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams of Orlando never has talked much about herself, a rare trait for a politician and a throwback to her career as a deputy sheriff.
But the freshman lawmaker has opened up in recent months, revealing details about a journey that has taken her from abused teenage wife to grieving widow to the only Republican woman on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee…

The definition of evil is harmful, injurious, wrong, bad, wicked, unfortunate, disastrous, maleficent, immoral, ill-willed, malicious and malign.

The Wall Street Journal ran a piece yesterday titled ‘The Tea Party’s Inner ACLU’ that examines the stance taken by many in the tea party toward to the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
As WSJ explains, the bill affirmed the long-standing distinction between civilian justice and the rules of war by letting the President detain terrorists (including U.S. citizens)…

You know a politician is looking for applause when he speaks in front of a crowd of college students and says he’s there to help them pay back their student loans.
After all, who doesn’t like the prospect of free money? But as the saying (sort of) goes, beware of politicians bearing gifts. That’s especially true this week as President Barack Obama travels the country warning students…

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.
The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.
The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.
As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.
However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.
I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
