As a loyal Clinton campaign email subscriber, rarely a day goes by that I don't hear from Hillary or Bill. It's good to know they're thinking about me. But today brings some very troubling news: Hillary is WAY behind on her fundraising goal for TV airtime in Pennsylvania. The gist of today's message from Hillary is that we supporters are being given a cafeteria list of PA campaign expenditure needs, and we get to designate exactly where we want our contribution to go. I had been torn between door hangers and yard signs, when I decided to check out some...

There are certain categories of ads on TV which offend me, and no doubt you, whenever they appear. There are the impotence ads. (Known as “E.D.” to its friends.) Plus the constipation/diarrhea ads. Plus the mobility (scooter) ads. The implication is that older men can’t get it up, can’t get it out, or can’t get it moving. Throw in the Alzheimer ads, and we can’t remember whether we’ve done any of that. I say “we” because all these annoying ads are my fault. Yes, mine, and I apologize. Yes, I am falling apart. It was only a month ago that...

This coming Saturday, when Hillary Clinton arrives in Iowa for the first time, she'll be greeted by a series of TV commercials featuring Democrats who want no part of her as a candidate for the presidency.

They feature registered Iowa Democrats who all agree that Sen. Clinton cannot be trusted. LeBoutillier stressed the fact that the commercial features only registered Iowa Democrats and exposes what he called "Hillary's biggest underlying...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Monday that a lower court should take a new look at a challenge to federal restrictions on political advertisements, delaying a major ruling on the constitutionality of ad limits until after this year's elections. Justices could have used the case, brought by an anti-abortion group, to spell out when so-called grass-roots ads are allowed at election time. Without dealing with that issue, the court overturned a decision that barred Wisconsin Right to Life from broadcasting ads that mentioned a senator during his 2004 re-election campaign. In an unsigned opinion, justices said that the Supreme...
