VIDEO: OBAMACARE OPPONENTS ARE JUST A BUNCH OF “CRACKERS” PER MATTHEWS

The hypocrisy of these people has no bounds. Having spent a week deliberately misreporting the Tucson shooting, and demanding that that Republicans and conservatives in general “tone down the rhetoric,â€? Matthews proceeds to insult anyone who disagrees with the Democrats. In this clip, he claims that the people who want to kill the health “reformâ€? […]

VIDEO: NBC BECOMES THE LATEST “NEWS” OUTLET TO WARN THE GOP NOT TO DO ITS JOB

The other day I posted a video showing the political director of ABC “News,â€? warning the GOP not dig into the past or try to repeal ObamaCare.

HEALTH CARE: WHO’S REALLY FOR CHANGE?

There’s only one presidential candidate promoting serious change in national health care policy—-and his name isn’t Barack Obama. John Goodman does a good job of expanding on this point in the WSJ:
