Obama ignores Medicare's plight
With all the political drama going on concerning Medicare from both parties, it baffles me that President Barack Obama has ignored his legal responsibilities regarding the "Medicare trigger." That trigger (covered under Section 1105 of Title 31 of the U....Tags: Medicare, Government Health Care, Judges, Justice System, Catonsville

The GOP ticket's Neanderthal view of women's rights
Rep. Todd Akin, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate from Missouri, has shown once again how the Republican Party has been taken over by its most extreme elements ("Akin's rape comments elicit anger," Aug. 21). Mr. Akin claims there is difference between...Tags: Pikesville, Todd Akin, U.S. Senate, Abortion, Parties and Movements

A false self-reliance
Republicans have long presented themselves as the authentic champions of individualism and the American Dream. That posture is essential to Paul Ryan's appeal among conservatives. He's Mr. Self-Reliance, eager to wean the masses from the big government...

The country's top Republicans will gather next week for the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., where Mitt Romney will more than likely be named the party's nominee for president.

O'Malley defends Obama, slams Romney on Medicare
Gov. Martin O'Malley, President Obama's go-to surrogate during the summer election season, slammed Republican candidate Mitt Romney Sunday morning on Medicare and taxes during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press.

Memo to Romney: Stop talking about your taxes; it's not helping
For all the media clamor for Mitt Romney to come clean on his past tax returns, maybe his campaign advisers would be better off just advising him to keep quiet on the matter, before he gaffes again. Mr. Romney's supposedly clarifying remark that he has...

Columnist unfair to attack Rep. Paul Ryan on women's issues
Susan Reimer must have been in a hurry to excoriate Rep. Paul Ryan because she didn't bother to get her facts or her logic straight ("Ryan and the GOP's women problem," Aug. 16). When did Rep. Paul Ryan disrespect nuns? Ms. Reimer says the nuns'...Tags: Political Fundraising, Georgetown, Same-Sex Marriage, Republican Party

Frank making return trip to GOP convention as delegate
Thirty-two years ago, then-20-year-old Bill Frank was one of 1,500 young people at the 1980 Republican National Convention in Detroit with the Reagan Youth Delegation, whose purpose was to stir up enthusiasm for the 69-year-old nominee — and show...Tags: Towson, Trips and Vacations, Robert L.

Paul Ryan pick a sign of desperation
Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., in his Aug. 19 column in The Sun, views Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan to be his running mate as a "bold" choice ("Paul Ryan is a good pick — but very risky"). I see it, instead, as a move of desperation. Mr. Romney is...Tags: Tea Party Movement, Mitt Romney, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

Mitt Romney's question-mark economy
We're closing in on Election Day, but the questions about what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would do if elected are only growing larger. Rarely before in American history has a presidential ticket campaigned on such a blank slate. Yet, paradoxically, not...

Paul Ryan's 'convictions' are as malleable as Romney's
It has been fairly well established that Mitt Romney is not a regular guy and doesn't have very many convictions. He is the type of guy who has a Swiss bank account, enjoys firing people and was for almost everything before he was against it. No he has...Tags: Pikesville, Philosophy, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama
