PALIN MOCKS MEDIA, WRITES “HI MOM” ON HER PALM FOR RICK PERRY RALLY

While the nutroots (in an apparent attempt to confirm Rahm Emanuel’s description of them) go (even more) nuts over ”cribgate,” Sarah Palin goofs on them by writing “Hi Mom” on her palm for a Rick Perry rally. These pics are NOT Photoshopped:

Look at Palin’s left hand in this one:

The Sarahphobes really are slow learners. After a year of having […]

OBAMA SUDDENLY DISCOVERS BIPARTISANSHIP & REMEMBERS HIS C-SPAN PLEDGE

Before Scott Brown won his Massachusetts Senate seat and deprived the Dems of their supermajority, the President was content to ignore Republican ideas on health reform. In fact, he routinely suggested that the GOP had no useful ideas to offer.
Now Obama is singing a different tune. He suddenly wants to ”reach across the aisle” and listen to those Republicans he […]

A COLLECTION OF PALIN’S TEA PARTY ZINGERS

One reason Sarah Palin has survived and even thrived despite relentless attacks from the Dems, the MSM and the nutroots is her ability to give as well as she gets.
Her address to the Nashville Tea Party convention contained a number of juicy zingers. My favorite was the line about C-SPAN and the health care negotiations:
Well, a special hello to C-SPAN […]

LEFTY REACTION TO PALIN’S SPEECH: A NEW OUTBREAK OF SARAHPHOBIA

Last night, I posted the video of Palin’s complete speech to the Nashville Tea Party convention. It had plenty of red meat, of course, but it was a generally good-natured exercise in loyal opposition.
But you could never tell that from the response of our “progressive” friends. Immediately following her address to the convention, these nasty little […]

VIDEO: PALIN’S TEA PARTY SPEECH

She predicted a good year for conservatives, saying that Obama’s policies will be short-lived and that his congressional accomplices will get the bum’s rush. In other words, lots of red meat for a hungry Tea Party convention. But my favorite line was this:
Well, a special hello to C-SPAN viewers. You may not be welcome in the health […]

REAGAN ON SOCIALIZED MEDICINE

On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it seemed appropriate to post this 1960s audio of the Gipper’s warning against Medicare mission creep. Here’s the money quote:
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism, or socialism, on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project.
He believed that, once the […]

FOX POLL: ONLY 23% OF VOTERS WANT DEMS TO CONTINUE WITH CURRENT REFORM BILLS

The House and Senate versions of Obamacare are as dead as Ted Kennedy, and this survey shows that only a small minority of registered voters want these boondoggles revived:
A new Fox News Poll shows that less than one-quarter of American voters support passage of the legislation currently before Congress (23 percent).  
In fact, fewer than half of Democrat voters support the current congressional health care “reform” bills, and nearly 40% of […]

PALIN-SABOTEUR NICOLLE WALLACE TO WRITE “NOVEL” ABOUT FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT

Well, it doesn’t require Nostradamian prescience to predict the gist of any upcoming book from this former Palin aide:
Nicolle Wallace, the former White House communications director who famously clashed with Sarah Palin while working as a senior adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign, has signed on to write a novel that ‘follows the first female President of the […]

LANDRIEU: STFU ABOUT LOUISIANA PURCHASE

The Senator from Louisiana has become a little touchy about her Obamacare vote peddling. Like Ben Nelson, she’s feeling the heat for her perfidy, and she doesn’t like it. In this video, she tells her critics to “keep their mouth shut” about the Louisiana Purchase. Ironically, his kind of whining will produce the opposite result:

WHO KILLED OBAMACARE?

In my latest piece for the American Spectator, I search through the scattered debris of the health reform debate in an attempt to identify the “real killer.” The evidence all points in one direction:
The “real killer” of Obamacare wasn’t the “party of no,” Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party movement, insurance lobbyists or even Scott Brown.
Well, then, at whose […]
