So at least the Republicans are consistent: First, they mortgage the nation’s future by cutting taxes for rich people and borrowing heavily for an unnecessary war, thus plunging the nation into debt. Now, they’re borrowing again for an equally dubious project: Electing some of their own members to the U.S. Senate. For those keeping score at home, our very own U.S. Sen. John Ensign......

This week the LVRJ came out with another round of polling.

Like finding drunks in a bar, you don’t have to look far to find hypocrisy in politics. Take today’s swift letter-writing campaign by U.S. Sen. John Ensign , for example.
