I have several thoughts: First, calling it Romney's plan is a form of "name calling," just like mudslinging. Secondly, he is saying his plan is "my way or the highway." The scene has been set by using Sen. Reid's comments about judges. Those statements about the nuclear option are just the prelude to the budget…

This is nothing new. There have been other Presidents who served on their own incomes. It will seem to be a fine gesture. We know from Sec. Kerry's previous Presidential run that he is very wealthy (or at least his wife is). But then, aren't all of us going to "give back" to the US…

I think there is no doubt that Mrs. Clinton is in campaign mode, as she has been for the last 10 years. About Mr. Biden, I'm not sure. He does not seem to present so clear a picture.

I think they will uphold California's Prop 8 because they will not meddle in a state referendum. If they uphold that I think they will uphold the DOMA federal act saying it is constitutional. I also think they will uphold Michigan's law.

At one time, teachers in North Carolina were required to submit a form from a physician before they could draw their first paycheck. For me it was a blessing. That's how I was able to have a…

Of course it is. Remember, that's what brought down Saddam Hussein. Chemical warfare against his own people.

I would rather be warm than cold. This winter has been particularly cold, snowy and icy for the North and upper midwest. Many of these folks are relocating to conserve financial resources. Texas and Florida have no state personal income tax. Our son took a job in Florida for that very reason.

The choice of the name Francis brings to mind St. Francis of Assisi. If he has the qualities of St. Francis, he will be concerned about people. If we put his election in American political terms, I think it says he is not an insider, not from "inside the Beltway." As a non-European, he will…

I think this judge is saying that people have to take responsibility for their own lives and not have big government to determine every decision for them. He is warning about too much governmental interference.

I think this administration is picking very public things to "cut." Conservatives are meant to look mean-spirited. Spending that needs to be cut is sliding under the radar with these very public things that probably have little cost to them.
