Opinion: GOP Too Extreme
More than a month after the election, things continue to get worse for the GOP brand. The lead Republican spokesperson during the fiscal cliff negotiations, House Speaker John Boehner, has a 34 percent approval rating. President Obama has a 54 percent approval rating.
Opinion: GOP A Party Without A Plan
With one month to go before we reach the fiscal cliff, Republicans are going to have to figure out how to do something serious for a change instead of grandstanding and avoiding specifics.
Opinion: The Fourteenth Amendment Solution
Speaker John Boehner believes he holds a strong hand in fiscal cliff and debt limit talks. He is, once again, taking the global economy hostage and playing politics with the U.S. debt limit.
Opinion: Grover Puts Himself Before Party And Country
Grover is the ultimate in single interest constituencies in Washington. He is not accountable to anybody. He does not disclose who funds him, who pays him to do what he does or how much he is paid to blackmail GOP Members of Congress to sign his pledge not to raise taxes.

Opinion: Elections Have Consequences
The day after the voters spoke in our democracy, Republicans sought to set aside the results and focus on winning next time. It is not just a losing proposition for Republicans, it is a losing proposition for America.
Opinion: Quit Gloating And Whining
We had an election and absolutely nothing that matters has changed. Nothing!
Opinion: Four More Years Of Gridlock
Even the most liberal of Democrats must agree that Obama's inability to get foes to work with him is severely impeding any progress this country.
Opinion: Billions Are Being Spent On This Election, But Will It Change Anything?
For all the billions spent by the Obama and Romney campaigns, Republican and Democratic parties, and countless outside groups, we may wake up November 7th to a Washington that is virtually unchanged.
Opinion: Bachmann's Muslim Brotherhood Concerns In Obama Administration Shouldn't Be Silenced

Opinion: Harry Reid Dares to Talk About Angry Old White Men
