So I get stuck reading USA Today because that’s the paper my hotel decides to slip under our doors here in the nation’s capital. And while flipping through the pages, I come across a big ad from the Allied Pilots Association, the union which represents the 12,000 pilots of American Airlines. The ad, […]

Gonna be rather skimpy on News & Views for the next couple of days, as I’m still in our nation’s capital with wall-to-wall meetings and briefings, but wanted to at least let you how I spent Veterans Day and with whom. It was truly an honor.
As you know I left Nevada last Saturday morning, […]

Normally, the unwritten rule is you don’t support primary challenges to incumbents. But efforts are underway […]

Let’s make sure we all understand exactly what is happening in the United States Senate right now. Most of the Democrats, including Majority Leader Harry Reid, are opposing the nomination of an experienced, highly-respected judge for the position of Attorney General because he failed to pass a legal judgment prior to confirmation on the […]

From the Associated Press this morning…
“Utah voters on Tuesday killed the nation’s first statewide school voucher program that promised tax dollars for private tuition, no matter how much a family earned or whether kids were in bad schools. . . .

“I hadn’t heard (Rep. John Shadegg) speak in person before, and I’m very impressed,” wrote blogger Ed Morrissey at the Conservative Leadership Conference last month. “Sean Hackbarth called the speech ‘further confirmation that the Republicans chose the wrong leadership,’ and although I think (Minority Leader) John Boehner has done a good job, it’s hard […]

When Democrats took back control of Congress, they promised to clean up the pork-barreling that Republicans shamefully had turned into a science.
S. 1, the so-called “Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007,” prohibits adding earmarks in conference reports - where Senate and House negotiators hammer out differences in similar bills - which were not […]

Confounding many skeptics, the Ron Paul campaign for the GOP presidential nomination raised over $4.2 million in one day yesterday - almost all from small-dollar online contributions. As the campaign noted in an email to supporters, the most successful one-day online fundraising effort was by John Kerry who raised $5.7 million “on the day […]
