Breaking: Waxman Committee Passes ObamaCare
It would seem that Senator John McCain (R-AZ) was right: The Blue Dogs are all bark and no bite. Apparently liberals in the House have managed to buy off enough on the Energy and Commerce Committee to pass the legislation along a party-line vote of 31-28. WASHINGTON (AP) — After a bruising struggle, Democrats pushed [...]
Good News: Abortion Option Reinserted Into ObamaCare
31. July 2009
Last night Waxman’s House committee passed an amendment barring a mandate for private insurers to pay for abortions. Waxman, pro-choice himself, voted “yes”. Why? So that it could be reconsidered at a later date. And, sure enough, that’s what happened. A new “compromise” bill has been introduced by Lois Capps, a pro-choicer, with the mandate [...]
Mitchell: The Insured Who Oppose ObamaCare “may not know what’s good for them”
31. July 2009
If you had to sum up elite liberalism in one sentence, “They may not know what’s good for them,” would be it. I have a mommy, thank you very much, and even she doesn’t tell me what to do without my requesting it anymore. I don’t need another one, especially if she’s not going to [...]
Five Months After Raising Taxes, Obama Says He Hasn’t Raised Taxes
31. July 2009
It takes quite a set a cajones to claim that you haven’t broken a promise when even the lefty Associated Press says you broke the promise. Question: A lot of business leaders consider you to be antibusiness. I was struck when I attended the Aspen Institute Ideas Festival. [Council of Economic Advisers member] Austan Goolsbee [...]
After Just One Week, “Clash for Clunkers” Program Out of Money
30. July 2009
The now-infamous “Cash for Clunkers” program was supposed to run through the end of October, taking in old vehicles to be destroyed in exchange for a sum of money to be paid to the owner of said vehicle. But after just one week in operation, the appropriated funds have been extinguished. The program — aimed [...]
Pelosi Breaks Down: Calls Insurance Companies “Villainous”
30. July 2009
Oh. My. Goodness. And before the left tries to spin this into something the planned to do, take note of the article. Her aides were attempting to drag her inside while she was ranting against the companies that have been pretty relaxed in relations to ObamaCare thus far. This is what happens when someone with [...]
New Ad: No Money for Needed Surgery, But Plenty for Abortions
29. July 2009
A very effective ad courtesy of the Family Research Council. It’s different than most previous ads for two major reasons: 1) The government denying a senior much-needed surgery thanks to rationing is played out; and 2) It’s pointed out just how ridiculous it is for taxpayers to be forced to pay to end life, while [...]
Breaking: Reports Indicate S. Korean Ship Taken By NK Authorities
29. July 2009
North Korean officials have seized a South Korean ship and towed the vessel into harbor, Yonhap reports. There are no reports as of yet regarding how many crew members may have been on board at the time or the reason for the seizure.
WSJ/NBC: Obama’s Approval Continues to Slip
29. July 2009
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released today shows that Barack Obama’s job approval rating and support for his healthcare proposals continue slip, especially amongst those who have private insurance. The poll certainly won’t help reassure Blue Dog Democrats with non-liberal districts that their jobs will be secure next year if they support ObamaCare. [...]
Good News: Obama Science Czar Proposed “De-Development” of US
29. July 2009
Barack Obama’s so-called “science czar” proposed a reduction of the United States economy and general “de-development” of the country in order to reduce environmental impact. The proposition came back in the 1970s, but there’s no indication that he’s changed that position. “A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America [...]
