Brown broke ranks with fellow Republicans today in a procedural vote for a Democratic proposal to raise the nation’s debt limit and avert a federal default, while high-level wrangling continues between a top GOP senator and the Obama administration,” the Boston Globe reports.
SOUTH CAROLINA: Even though the Palmetto State has traditionally been a presidential bellwether, picking each nominee since 1980, the state’s recent taste for anti-establishment Tea Party candidates might change that this year, The State writes. “The political lesson? For Romney, South Carolina looks likely to prove a task. On the other hand, South Carolina could prove to be a blast for a Tea Party favorite, such as Michele Bachmann.”

SC streak not in jeopardy; Rick Perry will make sure of that.
Hurra to those that commented on 'being held hostage'. To risk putting millions of people's financial lives in jeapordy along with risking this great nation defaulting on its' debts goes way beyond holding the nation hostage by the 'GOP-heads' : more in the line of a treasonable act!
As of today I am no longer a part of the Democratic Party! I voted for Obama
in the last election but not in 2012!! He and the party has no spine.
By the way it was easy to change my party via Sec of State on my iphone.
As far as I am concerned, anytime there is a Democratic President, the spending goes on and on. Wake up people. Democrats do not know any other way to run a Government then to spend, spend, spend.
next election vote for people who can get along with each other. we have a large majority of elected officials only concerned with their own agendas. why do reward these elected officials with lifetime salaries when the job they do for us is inadequate. it should be a privelidge to represent your voters not a means to continually get paid for being inept. we the american people have to be alot more careful in the next election to vote in those who can keep campaign promises not use them for personal gain
victor, how do we take the power away from those who abuse it ... we need two term maximum citizen legislators that go, get paid, and go back to their chosen careers living under the laws they passed while in office .... sort of like an extended jury duty. if they can isolate themselves from harm, it becomes too easy to abuse the power they wield while in office. so someone has to start this process .. it won't be any career politicians in office now, that's for sure ...
As a new user, I will reserve my very critical comments, if any at a later date.
We must demand term limits on both houses. Nearly everyone on Capital Hill is in this for themselves.
