In January 2014, the question was posed : Will Sex-trafficking Save the GOP ?

For politicians of all stripes, supporting veterans is a given … no matter how they view things from a progressive side or consevitive side, they should be able come together for veterans … right ?

While the Senate is in session, the House continues in “recess” … supposedly in “District work sessions” … ya know, getting to talk issues with their constituents. Which makes you wonder who they have been talking to ? You may have seen the recent Strib story and OpEd about congressional travel … well, specifically, Erik […]

John Kline, an establishment Conservative, has endorsed Darlene Miller to replace him representing Minnesota’s Second District and heeding his call is a new FACEBOOK account rallying Democrats to support her campaign. We need more Progressive Republicans to run for office! https://t.co/eiJCjeL8MV #MN02 #Dems4Darlene @SD51Republicans — Dems4DarleneMiller (@Dems4Darlene) March 17, 2016 The FACEBOOK page has a […]
Saturday may have been the first time that some Republicans in Minnesota’s Second District conventions got to hear candidates to replace John Kline discuss their issues. Candidate Gene Rechtzigel demanded a Congressional investigation into Justice Scalia’s death. Candidate David Gerson reminded everyone that he has fought the Ghost of John Kline-Past.

Last week, the news broke that Jeff Miller (R-FL-01) would not seek another term in the House … which makes one wonder why he choose to make this announcement so late in the election season … and before the Republicans vote in the Florida primary on Tuesday.
