Washington, D.C. is a pleasant town and, like the House of the Rising Sun, it’s been the ruin of many poor man-and woman.
These ruined men and women are elected officials who come to Washington and forget why they were sent in the first place.

This year’s midterm elections, as James Gannon notes in the American Spectator, are a “tipping point.” No doubt, many men and women will come to Washington with the idea that the administration’s health care legislation-new horrors are revealed daily-must be repealed and replaced.

Politico this morning quotes Heather Higgins saying, “Let’s see who is actually serious about this, because we, the voters, are serious about this.”
