  Big Government — Authority: 820
  By all accounts, future job growth is going to be sluggish at best and we can expect double digit unemployment at least through next year.  The Democrats’ response is a $300 billion jobs program.  Many Republicans would rather rely on the private sector to fuel the recovery and job growth.  So what’s better, ...

  THE SAME ROWDY CROWD — Authority: 123
  Danielle Steele’s novels are automatically superior to Leo Tolstoy’s novels, right? That’s must be the conclusion if you adopt the logic of a common contemporary Republican talking point: Big documents are automatically inferior to short documents. Increasingly, it seems Republican pols and pundits love to ...

• Time to Pass The Buck and Start Pointing Fingers: Obama Living Up to His Absentee Legislator Past

  
  Big Government — Authority: 820
  During the Presidential “Media Fest” Campaign of 2007/08, many tried to impress upon the American people that Obama was an empty suit.  Quite simply, he had no significant legislative achievement to call his own.  Heck, as an Illinois State Senator, Obama voted “present” nearly 130 times, according to the ...
