Democratic Party Favorable Rating Falls to Record Low

From Gallup

By Andrew Dugan

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After the midterm elections that saw the Democratic Party suffer significant losses in Congress, a record-low 36% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of the party, down six percentage points from before the elections. The Republican Party's favorable rating, at 42%, is essentially unchanged from 40%. This marks the first time since September 2011 that the Republican Party has had a higher favorability rating than the Democratic Party.

Thank Cardinal Burke for His Vatican Service

We are very pleased to be among thousands who have signed an Internet petition thanking Cardinal Raymond Burke for his exceptional Vatican service and leadership in the Church.  

Cardinal Burke has been a staunch defender of the Church's unchangeable teachings on the family and the sanctity of life.  As Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, and previously as Archbishop of St. Louis, Cardinal Burke has been unfailing in preaching the Word "in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2).

We thank St. John Paul the Great and our beloved Pope Benedict XVI for recognizing the faith, brilliance and leadership of this great man of God, and we are particularly proud to be his fellow alumnus of The Catholic University of America.

Please join us in thanking Cardinal Burke for his exceptional service to God and to the Church.

Scott Walker Hints at Presidential Run: Governors Make Better Presidents

Governor Scott Walker

Fresh off a re-election victory, Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker hinted Sunday that he might be ready to seek the nation's highest office in two years.

"I said my plan was for four years. I've got a plan to keep going for the next four years, but, certainly, I care deeply not only for my state, but my country, and we'll see what the future holds," Walker told "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd.

Todd asked whether Walker would defer if his friend, Wisconsin Sen. Paul Ryan, sought the nomination again as he did in 2012.

Walker said that if former Secretary of State and Senator Hillary Clinton seeks the Democratic nomination as expected, the Republican Party should paint her as a Washington insider and part of what's wrong with D.C. politics. That would call for a governor, such as himself, to counter her, he said.

"Paul Ryan may be the only exception to that rule, but, overall, I think governors make much better presidents than members of Congress," Walker said.

Pat Buchanan: The Kumbaya Temptation

Nov. 4 was a national vote of no confidence in Barack Obama.

Had a British prime minister received a vote like this, he would have resigned by now.

The one issue on which all Republicans agreed, and all ran, was the rejection of Obama. And by fleeing from him, some even refusing to admit they voted for him, Democrats, too, were conceding that this election was about Obama, and that they were not to blame for his failures.

Yet, though this was a referendum on Obama and his policies, and though both were repudiated, some pundits are claiming that America voted for an “end to gridlock” and a new era of compromise and conciliation.
