Pat Caddell was Jimmy Carter’s main pollster, and was largely ignored when he warned Carter that the voters were going to throw him out of the White House if he didn’t get his act together:
Caddell was, in the words of Teddy White, the “house Cassandra” … Three decades later, Caddell again is warning his fellow Democrats […]

A DEMOCRAT EXPLAINS WHY OBAMACARE HAS DOOMED HIS PARTY
COLORADO BECOMES LATEST STATE TO PUT ANTI-OBAMACARE AMENDMENT ON BALLOT
On August 3, the voters of Missouri overwhelmingly voted for Proposition-C, which forbids the government (state or federal) from forcing the citizens of the “Show-Me-State” to buy health insurance. It now appears that the voters of Colorado will also get the opportunity to repudiate Obamacare’s individual mandate:
Voters will get a chance in November to decide whether […]
TAKE OBAMACARE … PLEASE
If you really think about it, it’s actually pretty difficult to believe ObamaCare supporters are serious about the claims they make. My latest column for the American Spectator looks at these people as comedians:
Among the most hilarious ObamaCare claims is that it will reduce the federal budget deficit. No less a jokester than Paul Krugman produced this gag in a […]
VIDEO: WHEAT, WEED AND OBAMACARE
The argument used by the President and his congressional accomplices to justify Obamacare’s individual mandate is that it is permitted by the Constitution’s commerce clause. This video from reason.tv explains the history of the commerce clause and why it doesn’t permit the mandate:
OBAMACARE ALREADY KILLING HOSPITAL JOBS
Remember when Nancy Pelosi told us that Obamacare was going to create 400,000 new jobs? Well, I guess this Massachusetts hospital didn’t get the memo:
About 50 full-time jobs will be eliminated at the HealthAlliance Hospital — Leominster Campus, and one of two planned expansion projects may be cut back.
And how did Obamacare accomplish this?
[The chief […]
OBAMACARE OPPONENT WINS REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR FLORIDA GOVERNOR
Rick Scott, who has been a vocal opponent of Obamacare since it began working its nefarious way through Congress last year, beat the Republican establishment candidate for Florida’s governorship:
With most precincts counted, Scott looked to be overcoming the might of the Republican establishment … The Associated Press and New York Times called the race for Scott […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XV)
I sometimes suspect that progressives possess a better sense of humor than we give them credit for. The claims they make for Obamacare certainly suggest that. I mean, how else can one explain their claim that is that it saved Medicare, a gag that can be can be found in the latest edition of the Health Wonk Review:
One of HWR’s contributors, […]
NEW DEM TALKING POINTS ON OBAMACARE: DON’T MENTION COST OR DEFICIT!
Remember all that BS we heard from the President and his congressional accomplices about how Obamacare was going to bend the cost curve down and reduce the federal deficit? Well, it would appear that our progressive friends have decided to abandon that preposterous meme:
Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims […]
VIDEO: CONSTITUENT LAYS INTO DEM SENATOR OVER OBAMACARE
North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan gets raked over the coals by one of her constituents over ObamaCare. One of the best points she (the constituent) makes involves unaccountable bureaucrats (like Donald Berwick). She correctly says that she can (and will) vote against the Senator but has no ability to fire the apparatchiks the Dems have […]
OBAMACARE, PHYSICIAN REIMBURSEMENT & PROGRESSIVE PREVARICATION
Every time I read an article or blog post by a progressive health care wonk, I’m reminded of William Safire’s famous description of Hillary Clinton. Like the hapless Mrs. Clinton, these people all seem to be congenital liars.
Predictably, Maggie Mahar is a representative example. At Kevin MD, she simulates a reasonable discussion of Medicare physician reimbursements, but parrots the usual partisan […]
