I don't think it is any more of a story than when Quayle spelled potato incorrectly. It is petty and unimportant when so many pertenent issues go unreported. The spelling skills of both Republican and Democrats do not phase me. Keep the discussion on competence and worthiness.

Another land grab by this administration and the EPA. This administration has ramped up the powers of the EPA to deny oil drilling and activities on America's waterways. This is further encroachment of government control of public land and water.

I thought Senator McCain's response to the Russian sanctions was amusing. Clearly, Putin does not take the U.S. response seriously. Why should he? Economic sanctions are needed to hit Putin and his top people. The Russian economy is dicey now anyway and with taking on an invasion of another country's poor economy, Putin will soon…

Obamacare is the one consistently losing issue for Democrats and that is why so many of the endangered incumbents are running from President Obama. None of those in jeopardy are asking him to campaign for them and they didn't even take part in the global warming overnight "talkathon" this week with other Democrats in the…

Of the four mentioned, I don't see Dr Carson as a candidate in 2016. He is an intelligent man and clearly conservative but he has never held elected office and I think the office needs a person with real governing experience. I prefer a governor, as they have real time experience in all of the…

I like what George Will said on Fox News Sunday about those who insist that the argument about climate change is over: But I'm one of those who are called deniers. And the implication is that I deny climate change. It's impossible to state with clearer precision the opposite of my view, which is that, of course…

I think any opportunity to encourage, recruit and support women candidates is one worth taking. It is especially important if the effort brings conservative women into elected office. Women make up 54% to 56% of American voters. As a Republican Woman, I want women voting for conservative women!

I watched the Super Bowl and most of the commercials, too. I was cheering for Payton Manning and Denver but it was not pretty for them. I loved the high energy of the halftime show and Bruno Mars performance. Family friendly and brought memories of old school Motown and James Brown. I love that the…

The biggest story of 2013 was the failure of the launch of Obamacare. While devastating for the country, it is good news for the Republicans in the 2014 election cycle. This is the personification of the liberals' dream of big government for cradle to grave and it has imploded right at the start. This legislation…

It is shocking to the average person - we expect leaders to know what is going on, especially with such a huge new entitlement affecting 1/6 of our national economy. However, this president has shown time and again that he has little interest in governing or managing his team but an abundance of interest in…
