One of the big ironies of the Massachusetts Senate race is that Republicans want that “41st vote” to stop a health care plan that is VERY similar to the one Scott Brown voted for in 2006. When Cavuto pointed this out, Brown said:
No, that’s not true, they’re two different programs. What we have here is a free-market […]

SCOTT BROWN DEFENDS ROMNEYCARE VOTE
SARAH PALIN & OUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS
Today, Andrew Sullivan finally abandoned the specious rationalizations he has used to justify his morbid fixation on Sarah Palin, and revealed the very real paranoia that lies at the root of his Sarahphobia:
I fear her … She is not a tabloid story. She is a threat.
Whereas most observers take Palin’s new role at Fox as an indication that she […]
VIDEO: COAKLEY’S HEALTH CARE SUGAR DADDY SPEAKS
It doesn’t get more brazen than this. This guy says, “I hope they all use lobbyists to raise money. Without lobbyists, this town wouldn’t work.”

ON REFORM, BROWN IS NO TED KENNEDY
It is no coincidence that the most memorable line from Monday’s Brown-Coakley debate involved health care. Scott Brown indignantly asserted, “it’s the people’s seat,” in response to the following question:
If this bill fails, it could well be another 15 years before we see health-care reform efforts in Washington. Are you willing under those circumstances to say, I’m going to be […]
A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FROM OBAMACARE?
As everyone by now knows, Obamacare will require all Americans to purchase government-approved health insurance or pay a fine. But, like many “known facts,” this one isn’t an actual fact:
The Amish, as well as some other religious sects, are covered by a “religious conscience” exemption, which allows people with religious objections to insurance to opt out of the mandate. […]
VIDEO: FEINGOLD GETS FLAYED ON REFORM
You wouldn’t know it if you get your news from the MSM, but the the rowdy Town Hall protests recommenced with a vengeance when our congressional “representatives” went home for the holiday recess. In the following video (via Hot Air), Senator Russ Feingold gets hammerd by his constituents:
The Democrats obviously believe they can get away with […]
CBS: OBAMA’S REFORM NUMBERS SLIDING
Yesterday, Rasmussen showed public approval for Obamacare stuck at 40%. Now we have a CBS poll showing the voters panning Obama’s handling of the issue:
Just 36 percent of Americans approve of Mr. Obama’s handling of health care, according to the poll, conducted from Jan. 6 – 10. Fifty-four percent disapprove. In December of last year, […]
THE HEALTH SYSTEM WE’RE ABOUT TO LOSE
It’s all over but the slow walking and sad singing. The high priest of hope and change is about to perform the last rites over health care as we know it. So, it’s worth taking stock of the much-maligned system “the One” is about to bury. Dr. Mark Constantian gives us a good summary in the WSJ:
The U.S. […]
SUPPORT FOR OBAMACARE STUCK AT 40%
While the President and his congressional accomplices “negotiate” behind closed doors, actual voter support for Obamacare has been stuck at about 40% since before the holidays:
Overall, 40% of voters nationwide favor the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Fifty-five percent (55%) are opposed.
And there’s a serious intensity gap as well:
Those who feel strongly […]
SUPREMES NIX YOUTUBE IN PROP 8 TRIAL
As I recently noted, the opponents of California’s Proposition 8 tried to turn it into a show trial by allowing it to be shown on YouTube. Well, the U.S. Supreme Court says nope:
Two hours before the trial was scheduled to start, the Supreme Court blocked video of the proceedings from being posted on YouTube.com. It […]
