Democrats have two main Achilles heels in their ObamaCare argument: Blue Dogs who have to assure conservative constituents that the legislation is responsible and liberals who tell their constituents that “progressive” causes are taken care of. This is a case of the latter. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) was captured on video bragging to her San [...]

That’s not an interpretation, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) actually accused Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) of treason for having concerns over ObamaCare. Specifically, Grassley’s fear of euthanasia under the program. Whatever you think of Grassley’s concern, be it warranted or ridiculous, accusing him of treason for having it is outrageous in the United States. Incidentally, Massa [...]

Having badly lost the ideological debate over ObamaCare with the public at large, Congressional Democrats are now going on a witch hunt against private insurance companies who offer alternative health care plans. Apparently without any sense of irony whatsoever, House Democrats are investigating the nation’s largest insurance companies for “lavish spending”. Because apparently companies spending [...]

Which would make him about 75 years old at the time. That despite the fact that the left used John McCain’s age, 72, against him in the last election. Aides said he might go for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He would be 74 upon taking office, but his staff insists that’s not too [...]

If you haven’t read the original story yet, find the background here. Basically the Obama Administration is lending Brazilian oil company Petrobras $2 billion from the American treasury to pursue off-shore drilling off the Brazilian coast. That despite the fact that Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats oppose off-shore drilling for the United States. But is [...]

The good news: The One is finally backing off-shore oil exploration that can help a nation’s citizens become more energy independent. The bad news: He’s only backing off-shore oil exploration for Brazil. The worst news: We’re paying for it. The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to [...]

We’ve gone from hunting down terrorists to rewarding them for not killing us in the period of a few months. Supposedly paying protection money to the international terror group is part of Barry O’s brilliant new strategy of fighting the “good” war and using “smart” power. Welcome to another great moment in liberal foreign policy… [...]

The list of companies that neither myself nor my family members will ever give a dime to again has grown again this evening. Wal-Mart, CVS, and Best Buy have all demonstrated that they have no spine by buckling under threats of boycott from the far-left wing. All because they ran ads during Glenn Beck’s show, [...]

Hence the reason I was hesitant to celebrate after word came yesterday that the White House was considering dropping the public option. Nancy Pelosi is a San Francisco liberal in pursuit of ever-expanding power. Regardless of whether the White House wants the public option in the end is irrelevant. She wants it. “As the President [...]

It’s Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who — to his credit — did actually bother holding a town hall with his constituents. He won’t end up listening to what they want him to do, but even pretending to listen is more than some Democrats are willing to do. The man is either lying or terribly ignorant. [...]
