We have created in America a permanent political class that has powerful incentives to remain in office and grow government. Protected from accountability by gerrymandered districts and financial support from special interests, its members at times actually defy their constituents, as they did on the illegal immigration issue in 2007 and the mortgage bailout bill in 2008. It's time to hold our politicians to account.

If it's Tuesday I must be a Republicrat
Pat Toomey has taken a 46 percent to 41 percent lead over Sen. Arlen Specter in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll shows, as the health care law remains unpopular among voters in the key swing state and President Obama's job approval rating has turned negative.
Pennsylvania voters now disapprove of the health care law by a 53 percent to 39 percent margin -- and by a 39 percent to 20 percent margin, they say they're more likely to vote against a lawmaker who supported Obamacare.
