As the following chart from Pollster.com should make obvious to the meanest intelligence, most of the voters want nothing to do with the congressional versions of Obamacare:
And yet the White House insists that these ill-conceived boondoggles will be the starting point for next week’s negotiations at the President’s Blair House health reform summit:
President Obama plans to use the already-passed […]
The Indiana congressman favored by the White House to replace Senator Evan Bayh is Baron Hill. Last September, this character provided a clear demonstration of his contempt for the voters, refusing to allow his town hall to be filmed:
This is my town hall meeting. I set the rules … You’re not going to tell me how […]
Here’s yet another reason for the GOP to stick to its guns on health reform. A convincing majority of Americans agree with them that Congress and the President should start from scratch on health reform:
Of the more than 2,500 people surveyed from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 57 percent agreed with a statement that Congress […]
According to Joel Pollak, next week’s health reform summit is much worse than a mere trap for Republicans:
It’s also a violation of the spirit of our Constitution’s separation of powers.
The President, while permitted to propose and veto laws, is not authorized to participate directly in the legislative process. But that is precisely what Obama will be doing […]
Palin explains why she used her daughter’s words in her Facebook post about this despicable episode (because she thought Bristol’s response was pitch perfect and gracious).
Palin just adds that “This world is full of cruel, cold-hearted people,” and asks why anyone would want to add to the burden already faced by kids with special needs.
Well, […]
No, really. Katrina vanden Heuvel suggested the idea on “Morning Joe.” Seem absurd? Well, don’t forget that Al Franken is a U.S. Senator. Mellencamp can’t possibly be any worse than Franken, right? And he certainly has a better voice:
The establishment “news” media have a standard procedure when congressional Democrats or the President have been so incredibly dishonest that it cannot be ignored—they write stories claiming BOTH sides of the aisle have been fudging.
A classic example is this morning’s Politico piece titled, “Both sides push health-debate myths.” The article admits that Obama has been lying on reform, but falsely claims that perfectly factual GOP assertions […]
Since the “Family Guy” cheap shot was aimed at one of her children (Trig), Sarah Palin has decided to let her daughter respond to this latest demonstration of Lefty depravity. Here’s Bristol’s response:
When you’re the son or daughter of a public figure, you have to develop thick skin. My siblings and I all have that, but insults directed at […]
In this interview with the Financial Times, John Podesta does a lot of whining about the evil Republicans (including Palin, Boehner, et al) and blames the latest failure of ”progressive” policies on our political system.
But the most interesting section (beginning at the 4:39 mark) involves health reform. He all but admits that Obamacare is dead and essentially describes how Obama and […]
Obamacare was already moribund, and Indiana Senator Evan Bayh’s retirement makes it even less likely that it can be resuscitated. Philip Klein points out the relevant political dynamic:
The most obvious Democrats to seek Bayh’s seat are Indiana’s Democratic congressmen: Reps. Brad Ellsworth, Baron Hill and Joe Donnelly. All of them have already voted for the original version […]
