What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers Republican congressmen do to the country.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math.

Usually our constitutions expand liberties they don't contract them.
