Barry Farber: The 'Polls' That Tell The Real Story
Why Obama loses handily. A few weeks ago, I predicted an Obama defeat by a wide margin. Many of you responded with typical scorn and rage. Not all of you. Some of you reacted with pity – and one or two of you, devoid of political passion, even offered to give me the medication such a dire condition obviously required. Now that my out-on-a-limb lunge ... MORE
Romney And Obama Foolishly Ignore The War On Drugs
by Ted Galen Carpenter. One of the least discussed issues in the presidential campaign is the war on drugs. That's unfortunate, because that crusade has been an expensive catastrophe both domestically and internationally. During the decades since Richard Nixon declared a "war" on illegal drugs in 1971, the United States has spent nearly one ... MOREMark Steyn: That's Different, He's Our Vampire
Another bane in Obama's campaign. While we’re waiting for Obama and the Democrats to return all the money they’ve taken from the vampires at Bain, let’s not forget this: One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory ... MOREBill Zongker: Campaign Cash Vs. Free Speech
A red flag for First Amendment proponents. Most Americans know they have a constitutional right to freedom of speech, but a clear majority does not think that implies allowing unlimited spending by corporations or labor unions on political campaigns, according to a new survey. Americans oppose unlimited campaign spending by corporations and unions ... MOREJohn Stossel: Regulating Political Speech
Congress shall make no laws abridging freedom of speech? It's presidential season, so again pundits are indignant that money is spent on politics. Spent by corporations! And rich people! Because the Supreme Court allowed that, "2012 will be a miserable year," says The Washington Post's E.J. Dionne 2012 may be miserable -- but if it is, it won't be because ... MOREGeorge F Will: Proposal Would Mow Down Bill Of Rights
The First Amendment under assault. Controversies can be wonderfully clarified when people follow the logic of illogical premises to perverse conclusions. For example, two academics recently wrote in the British Journal of Medical Ethics that “after-birth abortions” — killing newborn babies — are matters of moral indifference because newborns, like fetuses, “do ... MOREBrian Phillips: The Freedom To Choose
The essence of liberty is the freedom to choose. Imagine the outcry that would occur if the government announced that manufacturers could only make one type of soda. Every soda manufacturer would be required to use the government’s formula, and Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, along with every other soda, would become a relic of history. The ... MORESteve Huntley: Liberals Take Aim At Free Speech
The Constitution is under attack from the very people who claim to be fierce advocates of civil rights — liberals. Their goal is to restrict the very first amendment the Founders attached to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights — the one saying Congress “shall make no law” limiting freedom of press, speech and religion, and the rights of association and to petition ... MOREPaul Stanley: Pelosi, Democrats Seek To Limit Free Speech
An assault on the First Amendment. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other congressional Democrats are throwing their support behind an effort to overturn a Supreme Court ruling despite warnings by critics that the effort would severely limit free speech. In 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled in the case Citizens United ... MORENational Review: Free John Edwards
The questionable prosecution of John Edwards. John Edwards, the Dorian Gray of the Democratic party, is one of the most loathsome characters in American politics, corrupt himself and a source of corruption in others, a preening, moralizing fraud who went so far as to have a staffer claim paternity of the illegitimate child he fathered with a campaign contractor. ...
