Is the GOP already feeling buyer's remorse?
It's not unusual in politics for a party to nominate in haste and repent in leisure. In 2008, many Republicans feared before the election that they had chosen a loser in John McCain, and in 2004 many Democrats felt the same about John Kerry. It's known as...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden

Rockin' with Mitt: A song to lift the spirits of the wealthiest 1 percent
The GOP presidential front-runner recently declared he does not care about poor people. Not much news there. But perhaps Mitt Romney, instead of mangling "America the Beautiful," might be interested in performing the following song, sung to the tune of...Tags: Scranton, Mitt Romney, Elections

The problem with Romney capitalism
Jay Hancock's column "Missing the point about Romney" (Jan. 22) should be required reading in every economics class, and of course for every voter. The issue is not that Mitt Romney is rich or even that he paid low tax rates on his riches. The real issue...Tags: Productivity, Ellicott City, Bain Capital, LLC, Mitt Romney, Layoffs and Downsizing

State of the union, and of the GOP
Two major political events shared center stage this week -- the traditional presidential State of the Union address and what could be a showdown in Florida in the fight for the Republican presidential nomination. The contrast between the tones of the...Tags: Republican Party, Mitch Daniels, Newt Gingrich, Barack Obama, Bain Capital, LLC

GOP's non-Romney's deplore Bain capitalism -- but would do nothing to stop it
It's one thing to criticize Mitt Romney for being a businessman with the wrong values. It's quite another to accuse him and his former company, Bain Capital, of doing bad things. If what Bain Capital did under Mr. Romney was bad for America, the burden...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Finance, Companies and Corporations, Barack Obama

Maryland lawmakers want — finally — to ratify the 17th Amendment
Two Democratic lawmakers in Annapolis want to spur a debate about the influence of money in politics and send a rebuke to tea party leaders by having the General Assembly ratify the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, which required that U.S. senators...Tags: Jamin B.

Romney's electable, but is he likeable?
While Mitt Romney continues to depend on the notion that he is the Republican best equipped to beat President Barack Obama in November, another question of perception hovers over him. Do voters like the guy?
It's a question that clings to him as he...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Barack Obama, Bain Capital, LLC, Joe Biden

Verbose Democrats leave governor with sparse audience
One can only hope the Baltimore Ravens do a better job of clock management than the Maryland Democratic Party did during its annual pre-session legislative lunch gathering Tuesday. Gov. Martin O'Malley, the party's leader and the subject of fulsome...Tags: Michael E. Busch, Regional Authority, Houston Texans, Government, Executive Branch

O'Malley under scrutiny as he serves in two roles
On Monday, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is set to unfurl the most ambitious legislative agenda of his six years in office. By Thursday evening, he's scheduled to be 200 miles north in a Midtown Manhattan hotel, schmoozing with contributors to the...Tags: Republican Party, Barack Obama, Regional Authority, Carl Stokes, Dannel Malloy

Disgusted by GOP Know-nothings
After watching the Republican presidential primary debates, I have an urge to move to another country if any of these clowns win. The unapologetic racism shown by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and the loud clapping by the people of South Carolina,...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Radio, George Bush, Radio

Despite what Gov. Perry says, Turks are not terrorists
As an American of Turkic descent, I am outraged Gov. Rick Perry's response to Brett Baier's Turcophobic and twisted question about Turkey ("Turkey rejects Perry comments," Jan. 18). Gov. Perry made a disastrous mistake by saying that Turkey is governed by...Tags: Turkey, Terrorism, Regional Authority, Defense, National Security

Newt the demagogue
Rick Perry's withdrawal from the presidential race and his endorsement of Newt Gingrich give a boost to a campaign that has been gaining momentum in the days before the South Carolina primary. Much of the analysis of this latest turn of events focuses...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Barack Obama, Bain Capital, LLC, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
