A Republican senator has opted for a curveball of an election slogan, touting bumper stickers which say "If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted....
Chris Christie, despite some obvious obstacles, has managed to successfully create a blue print for how a modern conservative leader can stay relevant and popular whilst seeing through real conservative policies.
Barack Obama has reluctantly ordered huge spending cuts after failing to reach an agreement with his Republican opponents. The US President could n...
We'll all remember where we were when the communist Muslim Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States for a second time. ...
Just as when Tory MP, David Davies called plans to legalise gay marriage "barking mad", then tried to justify his homophobia by explaining he hadn't had "diversity training", this newest development in the American abortion debate would be laughable if it wasn't so horrifying.
The job of any politician be they an MP, a Representative or a Senator, or whatever is to serve the general public. It's not a case of they elect you, and then you get to do what you like until the next election.
This week both President Obama and the newly elected 113th Congress return to Washington to try once again to do the people's business. We start with a strengthened Obama administration and a rather weakened Republican Party and possibly an even more weakened house speaker John Boehner.
Any deal is crucial not just for the US but also the global economy. Even a short period when Washington could not pay its bills would have a devastating impact on global confidence.
The Republican Party is still relying on the youth of yesterday, which was captured by Ronald Reagan. These voters have grown older and matured into the backbone of the Republican vote. Barack Obama has managed to capture the youth of today who will become core Democrat voters.
There are less than two weeks left for the Obama Administration and Congress to reach a deal to avoid the Fiscal Cliff. There are clearly two games going on here - one is purely political (who gets the credit and who gets the blame) and the other is actual deal making.

Remember Mitt Romney? Oh come on! You must do: slick-looking fella, binders full of women, has a bit of a thing for Big Bird... No? Oh well. Maybe he'...
The American people spoke and sent a message to Washington - and it was more decisive than it has been in a while.
We may be red states and blue states, but we also may want more in common than we think, and that's important to remember regardless of who we elect as president.
In American politics, more so than ever, the size of your friends' wallets determines how much of an influence you can have over voters. If you want to be the Leader of the Free World, nothing comes for free.

I could write pages and pages on Romney but it's there for you to find on the internet. It's not hidden away. He's a clear and present danger.
Though November 6th may not feel as exciting as 2008, in many ways it is more important. All of the president's achievements are at stake against a Republican Party intent on rolling back the achievements of Obama, LBJ and all the way back to FDR.
If you only ever watched terrestrial daytime TV in Britain, you would think we are a nation obsessed with houses, antiques and getting the hell out of Britain. And very much in that order. Starting around 10am we have an abundance of shows aimed at doing up your own home and flogging it. Then, after lunch we switch to shows about selling off family heirlooms, and then to mid afternoon shows about moving abroad.
With his square haircut and "Vote Romney" badge, this young man began his political career early. This is a young Mitt Romney, now vying to be Repu...
Much has been said in recent weeks following the unveiling of Atheism+, a form of social idealism enshrined in the philosophical precept of Atheism with its claws firmly wrapped around political philosophy. It is this uneasy marriage of the philosophy of Atheism with the apparent political philosophy of Atheism that has so far been met with appreciation but also bemusement and perplexity by both fellow Atheists and those engaged in mainstream politics.
http://blogs.news.sky.com/profile/Jon-Christopher%20BuaAlthough Mitt Romney has described himself as "severely conservative", this week we saw a glimpse of a moderate, pragmatic, former Governor who has been pushed so far to the right to win the Republican nomination, that he was almost unrecognisable.
The most likely outcome of the 6 November elections is that not much is going to change in a relative sense. We foresee a second term for Obama, a (dark) red House of Representatives, and a Senate where the Democrats will win by a hair (although the latter is far from certain).
Hello Republican voting Alabama, Mitt Romney wants your Federal money back. And that goes for all you other States in the Union that take more from the Federal Government than you give back.
With less than eight weeks until election day, is it too late for Romney and Ryan to recover? It is a question which Republican sympathisers are starting to ask openly.
