Cartwright: I hope the Republicans keep the House of Representatives and retake a majority in the Senate in 2014. At least we’ll have a chance of emasculating the Obama administration and keep it from doing any further damage to our nation and our economy. However, I would point out that I think the DNC is … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Do You Have Any Mid-Term Congressional Elections For 2014?

2013 Symposium: Should The Congress Repeal Obamacare?
Cartwright: Yes. Obamacare should be repealed. However, there are parts of the law that a lot of people like such as keeping kids on their parents insurance until they’re 26 and ensuring that insurers don’t turn you down because of a preexisting condition. Let’s repeal Obamacare but keep parts of the law that people generally … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Should The Congress Repeal Obamacare?
Symposium 2012: What are the consequences if America goes off the fiscal cliff?
Orlando: I think the media is vastly overplaying the significance of the fiscal cliff issue. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the world was going to end on January 1st if we don’t have some sort of deal to avert the fiscal cliff. Here’s what we know. First, the payroll tax holiday that … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What are the consequences if America goes off the fiscal cliff?
Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the debt ceiling debate that will be forthcoming in 2013?
Orlando: It’s the perfect opportunity for the Republicans to stick it to the Democrats and the President. They need to say they’re not going to increase the debt ceiling and force this issue of massive spending cuts. Let the government shut down. It sure as hell isn’t functioning well as it is. It’s like we’ve … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the debt ceiling debate that will be forthcoming in 2013?
Symposium 2012: Election 2012—What happened to the Republicans?
Orlando: They nominated the wrong man. I think history will show that Mitt Romney was probably the worst possible candidate for the Republican party. Here you have a former governor from one of the most liberal states in the entire nation who crafted a socialized healthcare plan for the people of Massachusetts trying to convince … Continue reading Symposium 2012: Election 2012—What happened to the Republicans?
Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on Benghazi?
Cartwright: It’s a tragedy that we lost our first ambassador in almost forty years and three other Americans. You have to ask yourself why did Washington not send Marines who where only an hour or so away to help the ambassador once they knew there was trouble? Remember, eight hours elapsed from the time the … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on Benghazi?
Symposium 2012: What’s your outlook for a second Obama administration?
Cartwright: More of the same overregulation and failed economic policies that have driven up our national debt, made us less competitive, killed jobs, raised taxes on American workers and killed business in this country. I think the President has such a big ego and such hubris that his re-election will embolden him in pursuing his … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What’s your outlook for a second Obama administration?
Symposium 2012: Superstorm Sandy—Do we need to shore up FEMA?
Cartwright: Shore it up? Hell, we need to get rid of FEMA. Let’s see, they didn’t do much with Katrina, and now we’re finding out that they haven’t done much with Sandy. It’s real hypocritical that the liberal media crucified President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Katrina, but Obama has gotten a free … Continue reading Symposium 2012: Superstorm Sandy—Do we need to shore up FEMA?
Symposium 2012: Should the U.S. be involved in removing Assad from power in Syria?
Orlando: No. It’s not our problem. Is he a ruthless dictator? Yes. Has he misappropriated billions of dollars of the Syrian peoples’ money? Yes. Is he killing his own people? Yes. Do we know that the ‘freedom fighters’ are the good guys? No. Do we know that the ‘freedom fighters’ aren’t actually terrorists? No. This … Continue reading Symposium 2012: Should the U.S. be involved in removing Assad from power in Syria?
Symposium 2012: Will Egypt revert to a dictatorship
Cartwright: Hasn’t it already? Look, here’s the reality. Many people in many countries throughout the world have been ruled by kings or pharos or dictators for much of known history. These people don’t know democracy, and while it’s an admirable goal to spread democracy, it just isn’t feasible. These people can’t handle it. They need … Continue reading Symposium 2012: Will Egypt revert to a dictatorship
