No Replacement, No Vote February 11, 2014 J. Robert Smith House and Senate Republicans need fresh leadership comprised of no-apologies conservatives. Otherwise, 2015 could become the Year of GOP Capitulations rather than a buildup toward 2016.
Boehner's Self-Defeating Outburst December 17, 2013 J. Robert Smith Politically the Speaker is all left feet. Or he's let his frustration spillover, leading him to foolhardiness. Perhaps both. Revealingly, the Speaker's words won the praise of conservative nemesis Harry Reid.
