This week’s winner is Politico’s Carrie Budolf Brown for this post, in which she insinuates that Republicans deliberately misconstrued what they heard from the Senate parliamentarian on Thursday:
Senate Republicans caused a major stir Thursday when they told reporters that the parliamentarian had informed them that the Senate bill needed to be signed into law before lawmakers took […]

DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XI)
VIDEO: PELOSI SAYS FORGET PUBLIC OPTION
One of the reasons the Dems are determined to ram Obamacare down an unwilling electorate’s throat is their belief that it will re-energize their base. But as Kimberly Strassel points out, the bill the Dems are trying to pass is VERY unpopular with the Democrat base, particularly the nutroots:
That base doesn’t want a health-care victory; it wants […]
MICHAEL MOORE PREDICTS “ASS WHOOPIN OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS” FOR DEMS
Like a lot of cocktail-party progressives, the porcine provocateur is increasingly frustrated that the Dems can’t get Obamacare done, even with control of Congress and the White House. In this interview with Joy(less) Behar, he makes the following prediction:
They are in for an ass whoopin of biblical proportions … If they don’t turn this around […]
STUPAK: DEM LEADERSHIP ADMITTED THEY WANT TO FUND ABORTION
In this interview Stupak says the Democrat leadership came right out and told him, “We want to pay for abortions … we think we should.” Stupak reminded them that “the House has spoken” on that issue. He adds that he has no intention of compromising his principles:
In this town, I guess some people roll over every five […]
WILL THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE KILL OCARE?
A lot of attention has been devoted to the reluctance of anti-abortion House Democrats to vote for the Senate reform bill, but there’s another ticking time bomb in that legislation which has been virtually ignored—a provision prohibiting illegal immigrants from buying coverage from the proposed health exchanges.
Hispanic [House] Democrats say they haven’t moved from their stance that they […]
MASSA: HOUSE PASSES GOP RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE WHAT PELOSI KNEW & WHEN
Whether we like this pervert character or not, it simply isn’t OK for the White House and the Democrat leadership to run him out of Congress just so they can pass Obamacare.
And, if you doubt that’s what happened, I recommend a quick perusal of this article showing that Nancy Pelosi’s office has known about “the Massa problem” for a long time:
An aide to House […]
VIDEO: OBAMACARE MAKES BABIES CRY
This video from the RSC is surprisingly funny considering that it originated with the GOP. It would appear that the wee bairns aren’t very happy about picking up the tab for Obamacare.
The Dems are always selling their boondoggles by saying it (whatever “it” happens to be at the moment) must be done “for the children.” […]
VIDEO: PELOSI CLAIMS SHE’S GOT THE VOTES TO PASS OBAMACARE TODAY
If your BS detector is in decent working order, Madam Speaker’s claim will set it buzzing and flashing. The first time Rose asked her if she had the votes, she ducked the question:
We don’t have a bill yet.
When he pressed her, she produced the following whopper:
Yes. Today, I mean if we took it up today, yes.
Uh-huh … right.
ROBERT BYRD’S SENATE SPEECH AGAINST THE USE OF RECONCILIATION FOR HEALTH REFORM
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, author of the widely referenced “Byrd rule,” recently wrote in the Charleston Daily Mail that reconciliation could be used for Obamacare.
But as the following video (via Breitbart) shows, this was an Olympic-class flip-flop. In fact, he refused to countenance such a strategy when asked to do so on behalf of Hillarycare.
Here’s his speech in […]
WILL STUPAK SELL OUT ON OBAMACARE?
Back when Bart Stupak’s cadre of anti-abortion Democrats emerged as a stumbling block for Obamacare, one HCBS commenter admonished me to remember that “he IS a Democrat.”
I was reminded of that on Monday when Stupak began making noises like he was preparing to make a deal with the White House and Pelosi that would permit abortion funding in […]
