My name is Patrick M McCormick and I have created this blog as a platform for my political views as well as those of select contributors.

I believe that American Politicians have lost sight of their goal: To uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of the people of the United States. They argue and bicker on the floor of their respective houses, positioning themselves for the next election, while they accomplish very little business for the citizens of this country.

Meanwhile our economy is sliding downward. Millions of our precious jobs have have been exported overseas. Our social safety net and other public services are being cut. Our middle class is rapidly disappearing and the numbers of citizens existing below the poverty line is increasing dramatically.

I plan to examine the causes of these terrible changes to our American way of life. Your comments will help us all arrive at some important conclusions.

Steele ‘punked’ by blogger posing as GOP donor

By Holly Bailey – Tue Aug 3, 12:55 pm ET

It might be a good idea for Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele to start screening his calls.

Last week, the embattled GOP chairman took a call at his home from someone he thought was a prospective GOP donor and, during the conversation, dismissed the idea that former Sen. Norm Coleman might be after his job. "Norm is an old friend. Norm is not going to challenge me for RNC chairman," Steele said. "If he does, I'll put my record up against anyone who comes after me."

The only thing is: Steele wasn't talking to a donor. He was talking to conservative blogger Evan Gahr, who was pretending to be a donor and who later published the conversation on his site. (He calls himself Washington Gadfly.)

    Michael Steele continues on his premeditated path to self destruction. What is going on over at the GOP. The two leaders of the party, Sarah Palin and Michael Steele appear almost daily as a pair of cartoon characters clowning it up. Maybe that's their plan. The next presidential ticket will be Sarah Palin and Mickey Mouse. God save the republic.
