...When he was 16, The nazis occupied his native Hungary. Years after escaping death camps and fighting Nazis underground, Tom Lantos became the only Holocaust survivor to serve in the U.S. Congress. The visible, sometimes blunt 14-term California Democrat, whose mother perished in the war, proudly ruffled feathers as a loud, consistent advocate for human rights. In one year as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Lantos demanded Japan apologize for wartime sex slavery and declared Turkey's World War I mass killing of Armenians genocide. Lantos...

...Ronald Reagan democrat, I was all for McCain in 2000 until the unfortunate effects of the Republican Party's upper echelon sank his efforts. But the traits that made me admire McCain's Straight Talk Express in 2000 are no longer apparent today. He lost my respect when he made a Faustian bargain to get the vote of his party's base, abandoning his critiques of the Iraq war and Jerry Falwell. I doubt independents will support him.

...critical of the Democratic nominee. Will you continue to hold McCain's feet to the fire as this goes forward? Well, probably. But it's not personal. I firmly believe that conservatism - genuinely articulated, passionately articulated - wins in national elections most every time it's tried. I tell people, "Go back to the '80s." Ronald Reagan did not have talk radio or an alternative media supporting him. What was he down - in the House of Representatives - the Democrat margin then was what, 130 seats or something? And [the Republicans] were led by a guy named Bob Michel, whose objective every...
