Finally, the GOP takes swift action on one of their own.
Senate Republican leaders forced embattled Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) from senior posts on three committees and subcommittees today, taking a dramatic step to distance themselves from the lawmaker in the wake of his guilty plea for disorderly conduct in an airport men’s bathroom earlier this [...]

I think this is a huge mistake on the part of the Untied Transportation Union. If they are expecting change and protection of their retirement, jobs and other rights, Hillary is not that candidate.
The United Transportation Union today (Aug. 28) became the first labor union in America to endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton for President of [...]
