VIDEO: FL-20 Republican Debate; Taxes, Herpes and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
Javier Manjarres at the Shark Tank got video of this weekend’s debate, but first let me give you some background: Florida’s 20th District (parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, including Fort Lauderdale) has been controlled by Democrats since the district was created following the 1990 Census.

Not News: Economy Still Sucks
A commenter on an American Spectator post earlier today made a weird statement: The economy, boosted by falling energy prices, a weak Euro, and record low interest rates and tons of liquidity is finally showing signs of life.

VIDEO: A Mosque at Ground Zero?
Another great ad from Alabama, this one from 2nd District Republican candidate Rick Barber: Excerpts: “We weren’t attack by a nation. We weren’t attacked by ‘terror.’ We were attacked by Islamic jihadists. . . . Jihad threatens our freedom, our families and our way of life. . . . Islamic jihadist pose a clear and […]
