Republican and Democratic candidates have generally avoided the most extreme expressions of these movements but seem content to drift in their currents. Few have offered policy proposals that reach toward the middle by challenging the orthodoxy of their party

As the House Appropriations Committee met last week to consider four massive spending bills, something was missing: congressional "earmarks." Long dismissed as pork, earmarks had more than quadrupled under the Republican-controlled Congress. By some estimates, lawmakers were quietly adding nearly $19 billion a year in special projects.

By Cal Thomas - Most of this God-talk by politicians is irrelevant. We're not electing a theologian, but a president. There are many moral and godly people in my church who I would trust with my wife, but with possibly one exception, not the country. Competence, not ideology or religiosity, should be primary in this election.

The debate itself came up short in the sound-and-fury department. Standing behind their podiums for the first hour, the eight tiny action figures in conservative suits seemed caught between pledges of unity--a nice touch for the always schismatic Democrats--and the understandable urge to separate themselves from the pack.

if you are as disgusted as most people are with the clowns running for office, then think before you repeat the mantra that it's everyone's duty to go vote. Maybe if the clowns starting getting only 10 or 15 percent turnout, more responsible people would go back into politics.
