If you're a political junkie, you've probably heard a fair amount of talk about this year's Senate race in Florida, even if you're not from the Sunshine State. As a Floridian, I always have mixed feelings when our state gets national attention. On the one hand, it's nice to be noticed. On the other hand, it seems like we're usually noticed for all the wrong reasons. Hanging chads, anyone?
This time around is no exception. We've got two Republican candidates for Senate bloodying each other up in the primary. The make-up of this particular race is drawing a lot of
The Great Health Care Bill of 2010
by Ronald A. Rowe March 23rd, 2010 | Congress, Political Opinions
The Great Health Care Bill of 2010 has passed. Mostly. Sort of. The Grand Exalted One must still sign the thing into law, but that’s just a formality.
I don’t know if there has been another bill like this in modern history. The bribes and threats used to get the undecided Democrats in line weren’t even hidden. It was right out in the open for everyone to see. What does this say about us as a society? We’ve become so jaded, so complacent with the corruption in our federal government that they don’t

The Coffee Party
by Ronald A. Rowe March 16th, 2010 | Political Opinions
Have you heard about the Coffee Party? If you haven't yet, you will. The Coffee Party is, as you might have gathered from the name, a counter-motion to the Tea Party. While the Coffee Party's stated goals are not in opposition to the Tea Party's, it is clearly designed as an attack on the Tea Party and its ideals.
The Coffee Party claims to have no agenda. If you believe that, then I've got a vacant Illinois Senate seat that I'd like to sell you. Making the members of the Tea Party out to be a bunch of angry bigoted

Never Left Enough
by Ronald A. Rowe March 9th, 2010 | Presidential News
By any objective measure, President Obama is extremely liberal. He's about as far left as any mainstream politician can be. He has single handedly moved the middle several notches to the left, shaking the foundations of both major political parties.
You would think that radical liberal groups would be as happy as donkeys in DC, but they're not. You can never go left enough for some groups. The radical Left will not be happy until George Bush is tried and convicted for war crimes, whites are humiliated and subjugated to all other ethnic groups, and drugs, abortions, and free love

The Health Care Summit
by Ronald A. Rowe March 2nd, 2010 | Congress, General Politics, Political Opinions
There are two distinctly different versions of the Health Care Summit circulating this week. Curiously enough, I’m pretty sure both were written and ready to roll before the meeting even began. In summary, the two stories are:
A) President Obama graciously invited the Republicans to participate in a Health Care Summit. He did so with the honest and optimistic intention of opening a constructive dialogue to solve the impasse stalling his comprehensive Health Care Bill, which would provide affordable health care to all Americans. The Republicans, however, showed up with only obstruction in mind, disdaining his attempts at open discussion
