One of the benefits of being a GOP delegate is that I get to see a lot more material from the candidates than the average voter. Over time, the mass amounts of emails, mailers, etc. invariably lead to little nuggets of insight about the “real” candidate. Today I found one of those nuggets in an email ...

The recent health care debate has reminded me how far we’ve fallen from the words stated by JFK. You’ll no doubt recall those famous words, “Ask not what you’re country can do for you…” At the end of the day, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a 100% “what can government do for ...

03.20.2010 · Posted in Health Care, Limited Gov't

A trillion dollars in new debt in the first year of the Obama administration. Breathtaking!
