Judge Susan Bolton, who today issued a preliminary injunction against parts of the much-maligned Arizona immigration law, may have well have handed the GOP the midterm elections with a single stroke of her pen. Even the CNN poll says most Americans favor the law, and Chris Matthews correctly (for once) points out that most voters will […]

MAGGIE MAHAR, JOURNOLIST & TRIG PALIN
Maggie Mahar is a good example of what passes these days for a progressive health care expert. She doesn’t understand how our medical delivery system works, nor does she grasp statistical analysis, but she’s good at networking.
This is presumably how she snagged an invitation to join Ezra Klein’s now-infamous JournoList, where we find Ms. Mahar discussing such esoteric and arcane health care issues as Sarah […]
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BEGINS RATIONING CANCER DRUGS
I have occasionally used the sad stories of Jack Rosser and Albert Baxter, both of whom were denied cancer drugs by Britain’s socialized medical system, to illustrate the cruel and arbitrary rationing methods utilized by all government-run health care systems.
For those of you who think that such horrors could never be inflicted on Americans, that all that stuff […]
POLLS: OBAMACARE GETTING LESS POPULAR
No matter how many whoppers our progressive friends tell about Obamacare’s popularity, the reality is that the public likes it less and less. The following chart from Pollster.com tells the tale:
And, if you pull out the numbers for likely voters, the picture gets decidedly worse. As Michael Cannon at Cato points out, polls of likely voters […]
VIDEO: OBAMA DOJ FREED THIS WHACKJOB?
A few weeks ago a progressive medblogger with whom I occasionally cross swords scoffed at my suggestion that the Justice Department was being used to impose Obama’s vision of health care on the country, calling it a paranoiac conspiracy theory. In reality, there is absolutely NOTHING the Obama DoJ would shrink from in its effort to transform the country into a banana republic.
That’s […]
CONFIRMED: DEMS TOO DUMB TO GOVERN
Having finally recovered from my shock at the historical illiteracy highlighted by this video, I decided to revisit the objective data concerning who these dopes are. The blindingly obvious answer is that they are Democrats. Republicans just aren’t this dumb.
We saw last month that progressives are illiterate on the subject of economics. Meanwhile, most credible public surveys have long […]
OBAMACARE SUPPORT ON THE RISE? IT’S BS!
A lot of people, including some conservatives who should know better, have fallen for the latest health reform meme—-that the electorate is finally coming around on Obamacare. As evidence for this BS, a lot of left-leaning bloggers and journalists are pointing to the following chart from Pollster.com:
However, Jeffery Anderson at the Weekly Standard shows that our progressive friends are merely whistling […]
GALLUP: CONGRESSIONAL SHAKE-UP COMING
According to Gallup, most Americans have an exceptionally low opinion of our elected representatives in the House and Senate. In fact, the job approval rate for Congress is on par with historic lows:
From a historical perspective, Americans’ job approval ratings of Congress in 2010 rank among the lowest Gallup has measured in a midterm election year.
No matter how […]
2010 A “REPUBLICAN WAVE ELECTION,” PER ROTHENBERG & GALLUP
It’s obvious that the Dems are going to take a beating this November, so their friends in the MSM are trying hard to spin this election cycle as “anti-incumbent.” It’s pure BS. As Stuart Rothenberg puts it:
So far this year, 98 percent of Congressional incumbents seeking re-election have been renominated.
What does Rothenberg expect to see in November?
Angry voters will […]
GALLUP: GOP HAS OPENED UP A 22-POINT LEAD IN ENTHUSIASM GAP
This is good news for the good guys. The Dems are faced with a deadly combination of generic ballot numbers that mirror those of 1994, just before the GOP took Congress, and a growing Republican advantage in the enthusiasm gap:
Republicans continue to hold the upper hand in voting enthusiasm, with 46% saying they are very enthusiastic about voting, […]
