January 18, 2010 | US Senator John Thune

While most Americans were enjoying Christmas, the Senate Democrats were able to jam through their health care bill. Republicans fought hard to improve the bill and instill in it some real reform to improve the health care system for all Americans, but at the end of the day we simply didn’t have the votes to stop this train wreck.

January 18, 2010 | By William Moloney

(Washington) When judgment is rendered on the success or failure of U.S. foreign policy in 2010 the verdict will depend more than anything on the outcome of our confrontation with Iran.
