There is an unfortunate tendency within human beings to deny the truth if it is too difficult to process. Politically this phenomenon is seen most frequently when people make the acknowledgment that it would be better to sweep incumbents out of office and start over with some “real people”. When it comes time to vote, [...]
By Shelli Dawdy I wish I could say that I find the results of Tuesday’s Senate vote on S-510 a surprise, but I don’t. People have expressed shock that so many Republican Senators voted in favor of granting a lot more power to the FDA, spending $1.4 billion we cannot afford, and likely hurting smaller-sized [...]

I’ve been scratching my head for a long time now about something. A lot of people say they are sick of politicians. But most politicians seem to think we want politically correct double speak. In asking questions about principles and positions on issues, its like trying to pin jello to the wall. [originally published on: Aug 22, 2010]
