What’s Wrong with the Two-Party System?

In this election, were you faced with a choice between a bad and a terrible candidate?This year, I did something I rarely do: I threw away two votes. In my state there are no conservative candidates in the Democrats Party, and I simply could not bring myself to vote for two godless Republican state candidates who have failed us.

Now, you discover that he has been cheating on you. For most, this has been a long marriage. You might forgive just one little fling, perhaps two … but not this! Continue reading “How to tell if your congressman is cheating on you” →

Needed: Religious Conservatives with Backbone

The revolt in the Republican ranks over the nomination of Harriett Miers to the Supreme Court is extremely significant. For the first time since George W. Bush was elected president, the leading conservative watchdog groups, even many from the religious right, are showing some backbone and are not blindly walking the plank for this man.

However, there is another revolt within conservative ranks that finally has caught fire. You must fan these flames because it is equally as important as a seat on the Supreme Court. Continue reading “Needed: Religious Conservatives with Backbone” →
