"Let‚Äôs be clear. There is good reason why Americans are fed up with Congress and there is good reason why Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the job the Republicans are doing‚Äîover 60 percent in many polls. The reason is simple: The Republican leadership has lost its way. It has orphaned its core principles of lower spending, smaller government and ethical governance. As House Majority Whip, a fair share of blame rests on Mr. Blunt‚Äôs shoulders." – Larry Kudlow, on his blog. (For a glossary of this blog’s Awards, click here.
