David Frum Is (Still Just) a Canadian Conservative

David Frum appeared on the American mainstream political scene in 2000 as a speech writer for George W. Bush. He helped pen the expression “axis of evil,” and in 2004 co-wrote "An End to Evil" with fellow neocon Richard Perle. Today, Frum has re-emerged as the central critic of t… Full story

Paul Ryan: What Stupid People Think a Smart Guy Sounds Like

His popularity among voters isn't much of a surprise. Ryan's good-looking and articulate. Most importantly, he can convince people there's intellectual gravitas behind his words. It’s sort of like the Ross Perot phenomenon, a man for whom 20 million people voted in 1992. Since Pe… Full story
