It’s time for Romney and Gingrich to step up their games with the fall in mind and stop slinging mud at each other. I’ll give Santorum and Paul a pass at this point as although they are trailing far behind, they are trying to stay on the high road and true to their beliefs.

In a recent interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman, once again, laid down the charge that has no proof, that the Tea Party is racist. I like Morgan Freeman.

President Obama Speaking at Solyndra
Congressman Tim Bishop has not been able to keep from spending, no matter what.

But no jobs are being eliminated back in Washington state, in fact, Boeing has added 2,000 jobs.

We need a vibrant and growing economy, but we are being led by someone who believes in all things that make America mediocre.
