Racism and bigotry were part of the mainstream of GOP politics long before Donald Trump and Steve Bannon
We called them our useful fools. Racists and bigots elected Richard Nixon in 1968 and 1972, Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984, and defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992. They were back in 2000 and turned out for his son George W. Bush. Bill Kristol, Editor of the Weekley Standard, former Chief of Staff for... Read more »

In the wake of the Texas church shooting what drives the GOP? Tax cuts and not mass murders

In the wake of the Texas church shooting what drives the GOP? Tax cuts and not mass murders
How did I ever belong to the GOP? The longer I am away from the party, the more frequently that question comes to mind. To the GOP it appears the mass shooting in Texas has zero questions for Washington. Instead of asking how it is the shooter could legally buy a gun with a past... Read more »

The Republicans blink on Obamacare

The Republicans blink on Obamacare
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is not a happy guy.  He made a statement today that the GOP alternative is “Obamacare lite” and wants a full repeal and replacement.  That’s nice, but replaced with just exactly what?  Senator Paul, son of perpetual Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, and a proud member of the lunatic fringe of the...

Welcome to Trump and Putin’s new Cold War

Welcome to Trump and Putin’s new Cold War
I was a Cold Warrior.  If you go to back issues of Washington Representatives from the years 1987 through 1989 and look up my name under Hill and Knowlton, and Government Research Corporation, you will see a long list of defense firms who were my clients. I had people who made jets, made torpedoes, made... Read more »

The GOP plan for healthcare

The GOP plan for healthcare
Senator Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan have declared war.  They haven’t declared war on ISIS, nor have they declared war on Al Qaeda.  They haven’t declared war on any foreign enemy.  Who they have declared war on are the poor in the USA.   They have also taken a step to stabbing the future President...
