A quick recap, from the NRCC Code Red project, of how we came to this pass. At every turn, it is the Democrats against the American people. These people should change the name of their party. If it ever had anything to do with Democracy, that’s a part of history. A more appropriate name would be […]

THOMAS SOWELL EXPLAINS WHY THE DEMS WANT TO DEFY THE VOTERS ON OBAMACARE
If you still harbor doubts that the public hates Obamacare, the latest survey from Pew (hardly a hive of Tea Party types) should extinguish them. Echoing all the serious polls, it shows 48% to 38% against:
This is where the public has been since early last Fall. So, why do Obama, congressional Democrats and the establishment “news” […]
STUPAK: OBAMACARE BATTLE HAS BEEN A “LIVING HELL”
There aren’t very many Democrats left with actual principles, and the price Bart Stupak has paid for his anti-abortion stand goes a long way toward explaining why:
Leading a revolt against President Barack Obama’s healthcare legislation over abortion has been a ‘living hell’ for Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) … The telephone lines in his Washington and district […]
COBURN WARNS HOUSE DEMS: “BE PREPARED TO DEFEND SELLING YOUR VOTE”
Among the consolation prizes Obama and Pelosi can promise House Dems who lose their seats due to a “yes” vote on Obamacare is a cushy job running some federal agency. Senator Tom Coburn had a warning for such people today:
If you voted ‘no’ and you vote ‘yes,’ and you lose your election, and you think any nomination to […]
LANDMARK LEGAL FOUNDATION “READY TO GO” ON CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE TO SLAUGHTER RULE
Mark Levin said yesterday that he and his partners are ready to go:
Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin, who served as chief of staff in the Reagan Justice Department, said he plans to file an immediate lawsuit if House Democratic leaders try to use an unconstitutional manuever to pass the Senate health care bill without […]
STANFORD LAW PROFESSOR EXPLAINS HOW SLAUGHTER RULE VIOLATES CONSTITUTION
Michael W. McConnell, a director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a former judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, explains that the Slaughter Rule departs from the Constitution at several points. He also disposes of the disingenuous argument that it has been done many times […]
VIDEO: EVEN CHRIS MATTHEWS SCORNS THE SLAUGHTER STRATEGY
Matthews hits a theme that several NBC commentators have focused on: How can you demand an up or down vote on reconciliation (in the Senate) and then “deem” the bill passed in the House without voting on it?
Matthews does not, of course, object to such skulduggery because it is dishonest. He’s worried about how it […]
PRESIDENT ADMITS THAT OBAMACARE IS “A TRANSITION STEP” TOWARD SINGLE-PAYER
If you still harbor doubts that Obamacare is a first step toward single-payer health care, this montage of Obama speeches will eliminate them. He explicitly states that he is following the same path that Canada took to its government-run system:
Get a system in place, signed into law by the end of my first term as President and build off […]
VIDEO: PENCE SLAMS SLAUGHTER STRATEGY
This is worth watching because Pence succinctly captures the essence of Obamacare as well as the unconstitutional procedural skullduggery known as the “Slaughter Rule”:
The Democrat health care bill that’s being brought through the Congress this week is nothing more than a government takeover of health care, and the American people know it …
Democrats are […]
HOUSE DEM ON OCARE TACTICS: “I THINK IT’S WRONG & MY CONSTITUENTS DON’T LIKE IT”
One of the Blue Dogs Nancy Pelosi has been trying to flip to a “yes” vote on Obamacare is Representative Jason Altmire (D - PA). This clip suggests they’re not doing so well.
Discussing complaints he’s hearing from the people in his own district, Altmire describes considerable voter discomfort with gimmicks like reconciliation and the Slaughter rule:
You wouldn’t have […]
