  1. 'They deserve a vote' can be more than rhetoric

    State of the Union addresses are traditionally laundry lists of policy proposals. U.S. President Barack Obama's started that way, but it ended as the most emotional speech before a joint session of Congress in modern memory. The theatrics of the event...

  3. Lugar still speaking his own mind

    Politicians on the Far Right, seeking to turn the Republican Party into an uncompromising, unquestioning cause in their own image, sought to silence Dick Lugar's voice of moderation, promising that Indiana still would send a Republican to the Senate.

  9. Is GOP abusing filibuster in blocking nominee for defense secretary?

    Senate Republicans used a filibuster to block a confirmation vote Thursday on Chuck Hagel, President Obama&rsquo;s nominee for defense secretary. Harry Reid, the Senate&rsquo;s Democratic leader, said it was the first time a nominee for the Pentagon&rsquo;s top job had been filibustered. Democrats control 55 votes in the Senate, more than the majority that would be needed to confirm Hagel, but not the 60 votes needed to prevent a minority from blocking an up-or-down tally. Republicans said they were holding up Hagel&rsquo;s confirmation because the Obama administration was refusing to release more information on the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Democrats said Republicans were just looking for excuses to continue the GOP&rsquo;s strategy of obstruction. Have Republicans been abusing the filibuster? Or should Democrats be blamed for pushing nominees and proposals that don&rsquo;t have enough bipartisan support to pass? Talk about it!

  10. Real questions for Hagel and Brennan

    Whether Chuck Hagel and John Brennan are the ideal men to lead the Pentagon and CIA remains to be seen. We need the exercise of a through vetting in Senate confirmation hearings, and certainly an examination of the nominees' past statements and actions is warranted. But the objections raised about Mr. Hagel so far, and to a lesser extent, Mr. Brennan, sound a lot more like an attempt to score political points than an effort to get at the key questions that will face the leaders of two of the nation's most crucial agencies.

  12. Obama: Half of US combat troops home within 1 year

    WASHINGTON (AP) &mdash; President Barack Obama's decision to bring home within a year about half of the 66,000 U.S. troops now in Afghanistan will shrink the force to the size he found it when he entered the White House vowing to reinvigorate a stalemated war.
