Can House Republicans Talk the Talk? Beltway Politics, Congress, Conservatism, Economy, Party Politics | (2)
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="175" caption="Minority Leader Boehner"][/caption] To the surprise of no one, Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to keep Ohio Representative John Boehner and the party Leader (also referred to as the Minority Leader). Of course, the right-wing pundits here in Washington have proclaimed that John Boehner will use this role to help bring a conservative voice back to the Republican Party.

Gun Control and Secessionitis Across the US, Barack Obama, Random | (2)
And now for something completely different... Now that the campaign is over and Barack Obama has emerged victorious, we must now consider the far-left proposals he is bound to enact now that the pandering is over. Though President-Elect Obama has repudiated gun control for the purposes of the election, it is likely he will return to form soon enough.
