An example of Republican timidity

The California FA-18 crash that killed a family should be met with questions as to why FA-18's and defense spending hasn't updated these planes so that they aren't safety hazards. Democrats only love cutting defense spending, and that's put our nation's airforce flying outdated planes, putting the risk of failures like the one in California. That's how the Democrats would play it out, and surely no Republican will fight politics as though they're inclined to win.

Ridiculous Republicans

There are a whole host of possible causes and reasons why two corrupt Alaska Republicans can win renomination in their primary battles, but the causes are unimportant. The effect of their win: to stymie reformers, to prevent upstarts, and to encourage this disgusting Republican trait of nominating whoever is the establishment candidate is frustrating beyond description. It's Alaska's decision to make, I suppose, but it's sad to see that our fellow countrymen can tolerate such indecency.
