TOM DeLAY: Jonathan Gruber, Dianne Feinstein and the consequences of deceit
After years of deception and cover-up, the American people, through the hard work of their congressional representatives, finally learned the ugly truth this week about terrible acts done in their name but without their knowledge.

TOM DELAY: GOP surrender not an option: a call to arms
In the wake of the great Republican midterm triumphs, when the American people decisively rejected the agenda of President Obama and the Democrats, we're already hearing voices counseling moderation — that we should run from a fight with the president before it's even begun.
