Former Lt. Governor John Carney is a nice guy, but the problem is that he advocates piling on failed policies and regulations like cap and trade on top of an already struggling economy. Of course, he and his foreign cronies tried to position themselves to benefit from raising your utility rates and gas prices. Unlike his born again conservative promise [...]

Democrats pushed through the latest gambit to extend unemployment benefits. I have no objections to the extension, but I do object to a 34 billion dollar bill costing around 83.4 billion and 50 billion in new taxes. Democrats use the unemployed like a human shield to push through spending and pork that would not make it [...]

I understand that defending his record may be tough, but stooping to silly responses will only make people think about it. [...]
