Did the speeches of Warren and Clinton make sense to the TP, OWS, and moderate R's ? Bill's speech may have put the Congressional Republicans and Romney/Ryan ticket on notice, that if the R's should win this election, they had better have very good "Arithmetic".

I am not a Christian right winger, but I found the decision to remove the name of God strange. My MIL is Jewish, we are Catholic. She is a Dem., along with her NY sisters. The DNC in their opinion of removing that is making it clear to them Obama is parting ways with Israel. They are in their 60/70's, they a...

Did Romney do the right thing by going far right with his VP pick? In talking to my Republican friends (YOUNG Republicans) who were already iffy on Romney- it's a major misstep. Young Republicans are much different than older Republicans. They want the conservative fiscal spending but they don't w...
