Remember the “doctor fix,” the multi-billion bribe for the American Medical Association that got voted down in the Senate last year? Well, it’s baaaaaaaack. The Dems have stashed it in the “jobs” bill:
On page 107, the program delays a scheduled reduction in doctors’ payments under Medicare.
As I wrote last October in the American Spectator, this is the AMA’s price for supporting Obamacare. […]

AMA BRIBE HIDDEN IN OBAMA’S “JOBS” BILL
WILL JUDD GREGG SELL OUT THE REPUBLICANS ON OBAMA’S PHONY REFORM SUMMIT?
The GOP has been (more or less) firm in its resolve to reject Obama’s phony call for bipartisanship, as manifested in his desire to hold a health reform summit on February 25. Which is why I have a bad feeling about this:
In a letter to Obama released late Tuesday, Gregg welcomed the meeting as a chance for ‘constructive dialogue’ and […]
SARAH PALIN: THIS IS WHY THEY FEAR HER
Aaron Goldstein puts his finger on the underlying source of the Sarahphobia that grips the progressive political establishment, the nutroots and the “news” media:
Despite the fact she was on the bottom half of a losing ticket and hasn’t held public office in more than half a year three cable networks provided live coverage of her address to […]
GOP E-VALENTINES NEEDLE THE DEMS
If you like your Valentines to hurt a little, the new GOP e-cards are (unlike Obamacare) just what the doctor ordered. Yes, the RNC has gotten into the online greeting card business. Here’s my favorite:
This is for real. If you want to send one, got to this site and have at it.
FRED THOMPSON’S ADVICE TO REPUBLICANS ON OBAMA’S HEALTH “REFORM” SUMMIT
Fred Thompson, hoping to save congressional Republicans from another Lucy-and-the-football moment, offers the following advice to Republicans thinking about participating in Obama’s trap health reform summit:
Basically, what President Obama is asking you, is this: “Save me. Come up with a plan. Come up with a plan to reach my goals.”
He then points out what SHOULD be obvious:
If [congressional Republicans] go into […]
ANOTHER LUCY-AND-THE-FOOTBALL MOMENT
Here we go again. Lucy Obama holds the football and promises not to move it this time, so Charlie Brown Congressional Republicans agree to play. Here’s Eric Cantor saying they’ll “absolutely” go to O’s reform summit:
Yes, this the same Eric Cantor who yesterday said the following: “Unless the president and Speaker Pelosi are willing to scrap their government takeover and […]
VIDEO: POTUS STILL DELUSIONAL ON REFORM
This man is having trouble getting the big picture. He still doesn’t understand why Obamacare is moribund:
What I agree with is that the public has soured on the process that they saw over the past year. I think that actually contaminates how they view the substance of the bills.
No, Mr. President, that’s not it. […]
THE GRIM REAPER CARRIES OFF ANOTHER OBAMACARE VOTE
One begins to suspect that the Grim Reaper is against Obamacare. First, he got Ted Kennedy and now he’s made off with Jack Murtha. And Murtha’s absence matters for Obamacare. As Philip Klein puts it:
As the Capitol reacts to the death of Jack Murtha and remembers his legacy, it’s worth pointing out that the news […]
GOP: NO REFORM TALKS WITHOUT REBOOT
House and Senate Republicans have served notice to the White House that they aren’t going to participate in the President’s February 25 health reform summit unless the Dems agree to dump the boondoggles they passed last year. House Republican Whip Eric Cantor put it thus:
Unless the president and Speaker Pelosi are willing to scrap their government […]
VIDEO: LIMBAUGH WARNS GOP TO BEWARE OF DEMOCRATS BEARING GIFTS
Like many of us, Limbaugh is worried about the intestinal fortitude of Republicans in an election year. He’s afraid they’ll fall for Obama’s phony bipartisanship and get rolled in the upcoming health reform summit:
The republicans have to be very, very careful here because this is nothing more than a trap. And the republicans, I’m saying it […]
