THE REAL COST OF RENDERING UNTO CAESAR

If you’re not already a Tea Partier, this video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity may convert you. It lays out the breathtaking economic costs of complying with our hopelessly Byzantine tax code, a cost that will only increase now that the IRS will be used as Obamacare enforcers:
The tax system is … the result of 97 […]

NO PALIN PIN INVOLVED BAUTSCH BEATING

There has been a good deal of justifiable anger in the conservative blogosphere concerning the deafening MSM silence about the assault on Louisiana GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal’s campaign fundraising chief, Allee Bautsch.
And there can be little doubt that the “news” media would be buzzing with the story if the victim had been a Democrat aide. The […]

JOINT COMMITTEE ON TAXATION: OCARE HITS MIDDLE CLASS WITH $3.9 BILLION TAX HIKE

For many of us, it has long been obvious that Obamacare is nothing more than a tax hike disguised as a health reform bill. Now the Joint Committee on Taxation has confirmed it:
Taxpayers earning less than $200,000 a year will pay roughly $3.9 billion more in taxes — in 2019 alone — due to healthcare […]

GALLUP: DEMS STILL SUCKING WIND ON GENERIC BALLOT & VOTER ENTHUSIASM

If the Democrats actually believed all that BS they were shooting about getting a bounce out of Obamacare passage, they must be pretty disappointed. According to the latest numbers from Gallup, the GOP is still ahead of them on the generic ballot:

And, as I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, this means the situation is even […]

JUDGE NAPOLITANO EXPLAINS WHY OCARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Napolitano makes a broader case against Obamacare than many analysts I have read. It’s not just the individual mandate, it’s also congressional usurpation of state prerogatives.
Congress has not merely told state governments that they must surrender their regulation of healthcare, it tells the states how to spend taxes collected at the state level.
None of this stuff is authorized by the […]

ROMNEYCARE IS MITT’S MARK OF CAIN

Mitt Romney is a good man, and would probably make a pretty decent president, but his primary “accomplishment” as the governor of Massachusetts was to provide the prototype for Obamacare. This disqualifies him as an effective GOP standard bearer for the 2012 election.
As the latest Rasmussen poll shows, a growing majority of likely voters want Obamacare repealed. Thus, the […]

VIDEO: OBAMACARE SIDE EFFECTS

Now that Obamacare has been passed in defiance of the public will, the Democrats, the White House and various “grassroots” organizations plan to launch a taxpayer-funded ad campaign designed to trick the voters into believing that this much-hated boondoggle is actually a good thing.
When legitimate businesses run ad campaigns, the FDA requires them to conspicuously present information relating to possible […]

REID GETS COLD SHOULDER AT HOME

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is up for election again this year, so he has been forced to go back to Nevada and face his consitutents. The experience has not been pleasant:
Though powerful in Washington, Reid is, to put it simply, widely despised back home.
Voter hostility confronts Reid everywhere he goes:
At a Fernley pizza parlor, Robert Diffenderfer, 73, a veteran […]

RON PAUL: OBAMA IS NO SOCIALIST

At the SRLC, Ron Paul took his best shot at grabbing a headline by telling the crowd that the President is a “corporatistâ€? rather than a socialist. Predictably, this claim was followed up by unfocused maunderings about the secret corporatists of the Republican Party and a few semi-coherent comments about the military industrial complex and […]

LEFTY POLL MAVEN SEES GRIM NOVEMBER FOR HOUSE DEMOCRATS

Nate Silver, a left-leaning poll analyst often quoted by the MSM and the nutroots, has been digging through the generic ballot numbers and he’s not finding a pony for the President’s accomplices in the House:
One reasonably well-informed translation of the generic ballot polls is that the Democrats would lose 51 House seats if the election were held today.
That’s more than […]
