More Readers, More Questions About LCGOP, AFP Email

A simple publication of an email which had been distributed publicly, a few questions about it, a rather swift expression of displeasure by a paid GOP employee, and our response to it has been generating a lot of interest by way of hits on our site, as we’ve previously reported.

Tax Cut Compromise $858 billion Boondoggle – Endangers US Credit Rating

By Shelli Dawdy This is a continuation from yesterday’s article about the Tax Cut Compromise. If Democrats’ want to play class warfare, perhaps the debate should include such vivid examples of where this kind of rhetoric can ultimately lead if it is allowed to stand unchallenged.

Soaking the Rich: Why Warren Buffett is All Wet
