JEB EX MACHINA?

My column for today’s American Spectator discusses the sad state of the GOP race for the 2012 presidential nomination, and the need for a deus ex machina to save the Republicans from themselves: More than half of the respondents to last week’s AP-GFK survey said the President should be voted out next November. Nonetheless, he [...]

VIDEO: RON PAUL’S DEADLY ANTI-GINGRICH AD

This hits Newt hard on his global warming ad with Nancy Pelosi, his lucrative health care lobbying, and his numerous flip-flops on a wide variety of issues. The irony, of course, is that Ron Paul has also been guilty of serial hypocrisy. I guess it takes one to know one, eh? [ht Spectacle Blog]

NEWT’S HEALTH PROBLEMS

In today’s American Spectator, I discuss Gingrich’s foot-in-mouth disease as it relates to health care. He has been on the wrong side of every important reform controversy. He has even praised the egregious Donald Berwick: Don Berwick at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has worked for years to spread the word that the same systematic approach to quality [...]

RATIONING ADVOCATE TO HEAD THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADVISORY BOARD

In today’s American Spectator I discuss the latest ghoul our President has dug up and set loose on the hapless electorate. Obama has nominated Henry J. Aaron to Chair this influential body, and that is not good news: We already have a staunch rationing advocate, Donald Berwick, running the government health care program for the elderly. Now [...]

OBAMA AWARDS DEM DONOR A HUGE NO-BID CONTRACT FOR A DRUG WE DON’T NEED

In the fall of 2008, a certain Senator from Illinois—who also happened to be running for President—indignantly denounced the Bush administration and made the following promise to a group of gushing supporters: I will finally end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all. The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton and the like will be [...]

THE DUMBEST QUESTION FROM A MODERATOR IN LAST NIGHT’S GOP DEBATE

As a rule, I don’t watch debates moderated by MSM hacks. The questions are always rehashed DNC talking points, and they are often just plain dumb. A classic example was provided during last night’s GOP debate by Maria Bartiromo: You have all said that you will repeal President Obama’s health care legislation. Down the line, [...]

VIDEO: DON’T LET THE LEFT DO IT AGAIN

Don’t be fooled by the knuckleheads who think this about how Cain has handled the phony harassment smear. The story is that IT IS A SMEAR and WHY IT’S BEING DONE. Listen to the segment at the end in which Clarence Thomas describes what it’s like to be the victim of a high tech lynching: Oh, by [...]

VIDEO: COULTER ON CAIN ACCUSATIONS

Speaking about Politico’s disgraceful hit piece on Herman Cain, Ann Coulter explains that it was based on the worst fear of all Democrats—the fear that a genuine African-American will get on the 2012 GOP presidential ticket: The reality is that Democrats must get at least 90% of the African-American vote to win any presidential election. [...]

VIDEO: PELOSI CLAIMS OBAMACARE WAIVERS WENT ONLY TO SMALL COMPANIES

This woman is the best player on our team. Every time she opens her mouth she says something stupid. This time, in an NBC interview, she made the following preposterous claim about the waivers: They’re small. I couldn’t speak to all 1,800 of them, but some of the lists that I have seen have been very, [...]

ROMNEYCARE FUNDS CARE FOR ILLEGALS?

If there is anyone out there who still thinks Romney can win the GOP nomination or the general election, I recommend that they read this: Uninsured, poor immigrants can walk into a health clinic or hospital in the state and get publicly subsidized care at virtually no cost to them, regardless of their immigration status.
