Over the past few years, Republican politicians have said that they wanted to repeal Obamacare, and the voters in the jaw-dropping Presidential election agreed. Last week, the ball was teed up. The American people were in the stands, holding their breath as the federal government was ready to take a swing at health care once and for all.
In preparation for the vice presidential candidates, here’s a list of what they should prioritize in their discussion tonight.

Last week, delegates from all over Texas met in Dallas to determine their platform going forward, in this era of government run amok. Two of the planks included language that dealt directly with bathrooms and locker rooms.

It was an election year overshadowed by presidential debates moderated by nincompoops who have never talked to a real constitutional conservative. It wasn’t even a traditional mid-term congressional election. But there were still key elections for governor’s mansions, referendums, and state legislatures.

Sen. McCain has some serious explaining to do about just how much he knew about the targeting at the IRS.

As evidence of IRS wrongdoing mounts, it’s great to get some good news. Today, U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott rejected the IRS’s motion to dismiss the NorCal Tea Party’s class action lawsuit. The government had the audacity to claim that
Ever since the IRS scandal broke, the agency’s defenders have been saying it’s over. President Obama denied a “smidgen” of corruption. Elijah Cummings still says “the case is solved.” These statements have the same ring as an officer waving people

California is a disaster of epic proportions. Taxes and unemployment are among the highest in the nation. Income disparity between rich and poor is also among the highest in the nation. The state is experiencing immigration outflow, with a brain
Lois Lerner loves her Fifth Amendment rights. Of course, this is a bit ironic for someone whose office at the IRS repeatedly blocked the exercise of First Amendment rights by conservative groups. In a stunning show of government overreach and

Some people don’t believe it. In school, we were taught, along with reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmatic, how the Constitution is amended: an amendment must go before both houses of Congress and pass a two-thirds vote. Before it becomes a permanent
