They stacked the […]

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore at the end of last week, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated that in order to get an agreement to avoid the fiscal cliff, there needs to be some leadership from President Obama. “The missing person, the guy who was AWOL in 2011, is still the president. I think a good starting […]

Last evening, President Obama announced a framework for an agreement with Republican Congressional negotiators on preventing tax increases next year. What’s striking about this agreement, though, is how far Obama moved toward the Republican position and how much frustration this has generated among liberal Democrats. The Wall Street Journal outlines the deal. “President Barack Obama […]

Let’s turn back the damage that four years of liberalism has done on social issues. Republicans won on fiscal conservatism. Social issues were never on the radar. Democrats tried, and continue […]
