The Obama administration has rewarded a (their?) political hatchet man in Alaska who kept rumors about Governor Palin abusing her office alive and in the press: Alaska State Sen.

It’s clear why the administration and media are trying to hoist Rush Limbaugh as the figurehead for the GOP – it seems to be having a negative effect on America’s support for the GOP and conservatism: Just 26 percent view the Republican Party positively, which is an all-time low for the party. That’s compared with […]
