The pathetic, lie-infested legislation known as ObamaCare was based on phony numbers and unrealistic assumptions so that Democrats could sell the package to themselves and their delusional Democratic constituents. Those of us who followed the legislation called the Democrats out on it, but since Democrats...

I’ve found it. The 2010 race about which I can get motivated the way I was motivated by Scott Brown v. Martha Coakley. There are plenty of choices out there, and I’ll likely add more to my focus, but I’ve found The Race. It’s not...

Just ask pro-life, pro-gun clinging, anti-Obamacare, anti-cap-and-tax Mark Critz, who pulled out a victory in PA-12 last night in a district in which Obama is unpopular: The district itself couldn’t have been more primed for a Republican victory. According to one recent poll, President Barack...

The NY Daily News headline reads: After beating up Wall Street ‘fat cats,’ President Obama ready to take their money in NY fund-raiser: President Obama has been happy to beat up on Wall Street “fat cats,” but tonight he’ll be even happier to take their...

Seems like someone is learning from the Obama campaign, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Sheldon Whitehouse and other American Democrats. From last night’s debate among candidates in Britain (emphasis mine): [Liberal Democrat candidate Nick] Clegg, tried to tie [Conservative candidate David] Cameron to right-wing extremists, a...

Definitely a day of F.O.M.S. (fear of missing something). I couldn’t hit the blog during the day today because of meetings, and while I was away, the whole world freaked out. Resignations, arguments, threats, more resignations, and then some: Obama debated Sarah Palin on nuclear...

The reaction to Obama’s treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu was as strong if not stronger than I have seen in the comments here and elsewhere in the blogosphere on any other issue. (I didn’t let through a number of over-the-top comments.) Why...

Some more thoughts on the worst piece of legislation “since the Great Depression,” in no particular order: Democrats won the messaging war. Democrats succeeded in portraying the bill as being about “giving” people “health care.” Even Republicans used the terminology. In fact, everyone has hospital...

“Deem and Pass” is dead. There will be an up or down vote on the Senate bill in the House. But not until the House passes amendments to the Senate bill before it passes the Senate bill: House leaders have decided to take a separate...

Nancy Pelosi announced yesterday how pleased she was with the precision of the CBO report on the cost of Obamacare. It would be easy to laugh out loud if so much were not at stake. Nancy Pelosi has no credibility to lose, so she did...

Now that Nancy Pelosi and company had all morning to spin the CBO report prior to its actual release, here is some language in the report you will not hear reflecting that the end result of the report is not certain at all (emphasis mine):...

At 10 a.m. this morning Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has a press conference at which he will announce whether he will vote for or against Obamacare. Until now, Kucinich has been a principled progressive. You may not agree with his principles, but at least like Jane...

Take your pick of the name to call the apparent Democratic Party plan to pass the Senate health care bill by not voting on it. Democrats plan to use a procedure where a separate reconciliation bill, which would be subject to a vote, would contain...

Nancy Pelosi, Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod claim it’s over, they have the votes. Just about everyone else, including some Democrats in the House, say it ain’t so yet. We cannot believe anything that comes from the mouths of Democratic leaders and consultants; it all...

It’s hard to know if this really is the week when Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid finally get their way. Regardless of outcome, these have been some of our finest hours. From the Tea Parties which sprang to life last April, to the...

Ok, so Eric Massa has issues. But sometimes people with issues are correct. As we roll towards the latest deadline to pass Obamacare, it is clear that Massa’s departure at this moment in time was a result of his vocal willingness to vote against the...
