Former Representative Bob Barr’s (R–GA) criticism of the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) anti-aircraft and missile program is understandable but misplaced.

“The problem isn’t that we haven’t agreed, the problem is that we’ve agreed way to much,” explained Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in a recent interview with The Heritage Foundation. “Otherwise we wouldn’t have trillion dollar deficits, $16 trillion in debt, and unfunded liabilities of $113-131 trillion.” Senator Coburn visited The Heritage Foundation this week to […]
GOP’s 2008 nominee was unwilling to confront Obama on character The political gurus who advised Mitt Romney to condemn a plan by a “super PAC” to use Barack Obama’s influential relationship with the Rev.
