In Friday’s Miami Herald, U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos (D-California) had a column about Venezuelan Dictator Hugo Chavez’s closing of RTCV, the last private and opposition TV station in Venezuela. I bring up Congressman Lantos’s thoughts for several reasons. First, he’s the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and his column gives an insight into [...]

For all of Ron Paul’s supposed online support, he’s not gaining support where it matters; among Republican voters: This morning we have a new national poll, though it’s a small one: the Diageo/Hotline Poll, conducted by Financial Dynamics, May 16-20, 2007, 196 Republican primary voters nationwide. The results? After the jump… Rudy Giuliani shows up [...]

The bill to continue funding the Iraq War until September with no timelines has passed Congress.

Remember last year when the Democrats took over Congress, they campaigned on, among other things, reducing the number of earmarks in Congress. Let’s check into see how they’ve done: A bill the Senate approved last week to authorize water projects contains 446 earmarks, and the House version has 692. The Senate bill was the first [...]

The slapping match between Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani at Tuesday night’s Republican debate has ignited a debate on foreign policy. Ron Paul made his controversial remarks ,which I have to disagree with my fellow contributor Doug about, that can be interpreted by a reasonable person as showing moral equivalence between the enforcement of the [...]

Rudy Giuliani lets us all know what he thinks about Habeas Corpus. (Note, I am not endorsing Alex Jones, Infowars.com, or any of the kooky conspiracy theories Alex Jones espouses.) UPDATE: The comments below say that Giuliani was laughing at the moron Chris Matthews. After rewatching the video, I have to agree with them.

During Thursday night’s Republican debate, the great libertarian hero Rudy Giuliani had well…. a confused position on Roe v Wade to say the least. Maybe be if Giuliani was concerned about something else than lusting for power, his position on Roe v Wade would be much more clear.

The first Republican party debate of the 2008 is set to begin in about 15 minutes.
