GOP stratgist Alex Castellanos issues a challenge.

There is much to critique in Washington, but the nexus of the governance problem at the moment is the GOP.

A few more thoughts on the Romney VEEP pick.

Since Israel’s system is far more “socialist” by American rhetorical standards, I am not sure what his point was.

..because apparently we can apply a modern definition of “arms” to the constitution, but not modern understandings of the word “citizens.”

Disseting the Romney visit to the UK and musing about the state of GOP foreign policy views.

The US government has an odd and unproductive view on the concept of talks.

What is wrong with us?

Polling racial attitudes and its linkage to support fro voter ID laws.

Another study shows that voter ID laws negatively affect a lot of Americans.

It would be nice if people who make authoritative decisions had some idea what they are talking about.

Romney says “We’re the party of people who want to get rich.”

Isn’t the bottom line here that Romney and his campaign just screwed up?

What does the US Constitution actually provide in terms of guidance for governance?

The PPACA, the fight over it, and the Sibelius ruling all underscore this fact.

However, he and his party have hardly taken over.

If Roberts did switch his vote, it should not be considered odd.

Electing Romney hardly means repeal of the PPACA, even if he will make it sound that way.

President Fernando Lugo of Paraguay was impeached and removed from office this week.

The slow motion election continues at least one more day.

Issa, Holder, and a little Madison.

Fast and furious, or a lot of sound and fury signifying not too much?
