During the 1980 presidential campaign, Reagan’s strategy was simple. Let people look at the facts, the result of [...]
On the campaign trail in Cincinnati, President Obama criticized Mitt Romney for flip-flopping his position on the indivudal mandate, apparently because of displeasure among the right wing Washington elites.

The panel consisted of [...]
In today’s completely stunning decision, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. Chief Justice Roberts joined the liberal justices, creating a 5-4 majority that declared the individual mandate a ‘tax’ and therefore constitutional.

The Obama administration’s latest flouting of the Constitution came today when it was announced that they will stop deporting illegal immigrants.

Today’s recall vote of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker has been touted as a crucial measure of the upcoming presidential election by both liberals and conservatives.
