Will the voters get their voices heard? Strong Content today in your Tuesday Morning Political Headlines...Read Full Story

It's one thing to go to a public place, surrounded by like-minded people, and sound off. It's quite another to go to a sit-in, knowing full well that you won't be home that night -- you'll be sharing a jail cell.Read More...Read Full Story

Who’s side are you on? It’s a question that’s getting asked at least a dozen times at every political mixer, executive committee meeting, or after hour business get-together. Local politicos having to choose sides between sitting lawmakers or community favorites pushed into running against each other because of redistricting. Maps are being slung all over the country, including our own state capital and when lines are shifted and pushed every which way you’re going to have some tough match...Read Full Story

[I could also make a case that they hate Soros because he is (d) Jewish, but I leave that up to you.] Soros said a lot of things, but he said two sentences that I wish that everyone could hear. This is what he said: “You can’t cut your way out of a recession. You have to grow your way out of a recession.” The simple truth...Read Full Story

As he announced earlier this week Alan Grayson is running for Congress…again. The former Representative from the 8th District of Florida went to Washington and threw bombs at what ever looked or smelled Republican. He quickly became an MSNBC staple and energized the left with hyper partisan policy, that slammed conservative thinking. “Die Quickly” as you all remember was his explanation of the other sides plan for healthcare reform. He called a lobbyist a “K-Street Whore” without blinking...Read Full Story
