MILLER: Guns blazing since election

President Obama's re-election has sent Americans running to the gun stores. Sales of firearms and ammunition are way up in reaction to Mr. Obama saying during the debates he wants to ban everything from "cheap handguns" to common hunting rifles with scary-looking features.

MILLER: Romney beats Obama … on the economy

After all the speeches, debates, ads, rallies, fundraisers, town halls and polls, the American people finally have the chance to pull the lever for the man they think can best restore prosperity. President Obama and Mitt Romney have distinctly different plans for economic growth. Published November 5, 2012

MILLER: All Obama’s bureaucrats

Whether he's a one- or two-term president, Barack Obama's legacy will be the ginormous federal government he left behind. Trillion-dollar annual deficits weren't enough to make him reconsider the wisdom of his spending sprees. Published November 1, 2012

MILLER: Hunters’ election

The top of the ticket isn't the only important choice gun owners face next Tuesday. Many voters will have the opportunity to thwart state-level leftists who have busied themselves battering the right to keep and bear arms. Published October 30, 2012

Mitt Romney speaks Monday at Avon Lake High School in Ohio. He has knocked President Obama’s use of waivers for welfare laws and No Child Left Behind but has said he would issue a blanket waiver to block much of the health care law. (Associated Press)

MILLER: Romney hearts Democrats

If polls are to be believed, our next president will likely preside over a divided Congress. The latest RealClearPolitics model predicts Democrats will retain control of the Senate with Republicans gaining one seat overall. Published October 29, 2012

Republican Richard Mourdock, candidate for Indiana's U.S. Senate seat, participates Oct. 23, 2012, in a debate in New Albany, Ind., with Democrat Joe Donnelly and Libertarian Andrew Horning. Mourdock, when asked during the final minutes of the debate whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest, said "it's something God intended" when a woman is impregnated during a rape. (Associated Press)

MILLER: Politicizing rape

There's no stopping Democrats out for political blood. Richard Mourdock, the Indiana Republican locked in a close contest with Democrat Joe Donnelly for a U.S. Senate seat, offered a badly phrased comment about abortion in rape cases during a debate Tuesday. Published October 26, 2012

MILLER: Obama’s cash crunch

As Barack Obama cast a vote for himself in Illinois Thursday, his wallet was noticeably lighter. That's because, this time around, Republicans are winning the money game. It was a different story four years ago when Mr. Obama broke with precedent and turned down matching funds so he could raise unlimited cash for his campaign. Published October 25, 2012

MILLER: Obama’s last-ditch effort

President Obama has come up with another plan outlining what he'd do if he wins a second term. With less than two weeks to go until the election, he unveiled his latest "plan for jobs and middle-class security" at an event in Florida on Tuesday. Published October 24, 2012

MILLER: Skewing the debates for Obama

CBS' Bob Schieffer was the first debate moderator not to drive conservative viewers to yell at their televisions in frustration. Of course, the bar was set very low. Two of the previous moderators were so overtly biased in favor of the Democrats that Mr. Schieffer's refusal to insert himself into the debate was refreshing. Published October 23, 2012

MILLER: NRA vs. Bloomberg

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has been saying for the past two years that President Obama would ban guns if given a second term. Mr. Obama had been careful to pretend otherwise until last week's debate, when he let slip his intention to ban certain types of firearms. Published October 22, 2012

MILLER: All Romney’s women

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are both ardent suitors of women who vote. In the last few weeks, Mr. Romney has edged out his rival, vaulting to front-runner status. The polls credit a surge among female voters in battleground states, and Mr. Obama will do almost anything to woo them back. Published October 18, 2012

MILLER: Obama’s big gun slip

President Obama is in a fix over firearms. He needs to win undecided voters in the swing states to be re-elected, but these areas are largely pro-gun. So after years of trying to dodge the issue, Mr. Obama let it slip in Tuesday's presidential debate that he'd push a gun ban in a second term. Published October 17, 2012

MILLER: Food stamps for frappuccinos

President Obama is still obsessed with Big Bird. Headed into the second presidential debate on Tuesday, Mr. Obama hasn't stopped talking about Mitt Romney's example of public broadcasting as a government program that should be cut. Published October 15, 2012

MILLER: What Biden didn’t say

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s bizarre behavior in Thursday night's debate was no accident. The exaggerated expressions and overheated theatrics were meant to distract the public from arriving at the obvious conclusion: This administration has no viable solutions to America's problems. Published October 12, 2012

MILLER: Democrats plan more tax hikes

If re-elected, President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. will raise taxes on small business in order to sustain the ginormous federal government they have built. The White House duo have done nothing to avert "Taxmaggedon," the massive tax hike scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1. Published October 11, 2012

MILLER: Targeting Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan faces Joe Biden in a vice presidential debate Thursday where guns could become one of the many hot topics discussed. The Wisconsin Republican congressman has recently become a lightning rod for attacks from gun grabbers who think the issue is their ticket to thwarting the Romney campaign's growing momentum in the polls.

MILLER: Time for Big Bird to fly the nest

Big Bird has been living rent-free on Sesame Street for 43 years. The popular Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) character is on the dole because the left believes government should use taxpayer cash to support the arts. With the U.S. debt topping $16.2 trillion, it's time for the eight-foot-tall talking bird to start paying his own way. Published October 8, 2012
