The only thing growing faster than the federal government's deficit is Chris Matthews' man-crush on Barack Obama.

A great deal has been said about my commitment not to raise taxes. It's a core value - it's common sense - it's important to keeping and growing jobs - and it's mainstream!

We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

The problem with money issued by any government is that its only value is what those in charge decree.

When truth takes a backseat to ego and politics, trust is lost.

To me, politics is culture. I became a journalist, and later a filmmaker, to get to know my new country and my volatile place in it as a gay, undocumented Filipino-American.

I am probably not alone in sensing above me the huge corporations and monstrous banks, science, politics and technologies, spy satellites and stock markets, military systems and massive wealth - forces and dynamics I don't understand or can hardly imagine.
