HuffPo: Memo Proves Deal Denied by WH and PhRMA
Is there a secret agreement between the White House and the pharmaceutical industry to block any Congressional efforts to use the weight of the government to lower drug prices? Both sides strongly deny that any such deal exists, but a memo obtained by the left-wing site Huffington Post apparently contradicts their denials. It says the [...]
Breaking: Senate Finance Committee to Strip end-of-life provision
13. August 2009
ObamaCare remains a steaming pile of crap with its government-controlled health care, rationing of care, decrease in the overall quality of the health system, shoving of private insurance out of business, and the impact it will have on costs. But it appears that the Senate Finance Committee will move to shovel away a little bit [...]
Reid: ObamaCare Protesters Are “evil-mongers”
13. August 2009
Good. Lord. I can smell the pathetic desperation from here. Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, was having second thoughts – or was he? – about the way he had characterized people who are disrupting town halls with “lies, innuendo and rumor,” and not letting others speak. They are, he said, “evil-mongers.” A day after [...]
Poll: Obama Approval Hits New Low of 47%
13. August 2009
It’s Rasmussen Reports, so expect the left to dismiss the poll as some righty fabrication. But consider this: Gallup, which tends to be kind to lefties, only has Obama a few points higher. His approval has been falling, disapproval rising, over there for quite some time. Anyway, back to today’s poll: The Rasmussen Reports daily [...]
Retail Sales Slide, Jobless Claims Jump
13. August 2009
Tell me, media? Is this what you meant by the recession being over and the recovery beginning thanks to the stimulus package? If so, I don’t think “recovery” means what you think it means. Despite Obama apologists in the media singing “Happy Days are Here Again”, retail sales fell rather than rose during the month [...]
Good News: Obama Admin Wants to Track Americans Online
12. August 2009
Just how bad is this? The ACLU has issued a press release expressing its outrage, in which it points out that the government’s policy since 2000 has been to not use this technology. In other words, the Bush Administration — which was regularly accused of spying on average Americans — didn’t even cross this line. [...]
AMA to Obama: Do us a favor and stop lying
12. August 2009
He would, but then how could he pass ObamaCare? If he actually told the truth about it being a trojan horse for a single-payer system and how it’ll lower quality while raising costs, there wouldn’t be a snowball’s chance in hell of it passing. So the lies continue… We agree with President Obama on the [...]
Good News: Hillary Clinton Hints that 2000 Election Was Rigged
12. August 2009
Watch as the same lefties who went berserk condemning the Birthers openly embrace conspiracy theories coming from an Obama Administration cabinet official. It’s not that they have problems with crazy theories, they just have problems with crazy theories that don’t help their cause. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared Nigeria’s corruption and electoral problems with [...]
Yale Removes Mohammed Cartoons from Book About Mohammed Cartoons
12. August 2009
What a sad day in America when our universities hide from publishing cartoons due to their fear of radical Islamists. There was a time when we could count on our premier educational institutions to say or print things that are unpopular or dangerous because they’re true nevertheless. No more… Yale University and Yale University Press [...]
Video: Clyburn Entirely Uninterested in Constituent Concerns
12. August 2009
How bad does it get? At one point it appears that James Clyburn (D-SC) fell asleep. Even when he’s clearly not taking a snooze, he’s looking around the room and generally showing no interest in what his constituents are telling him regarding ObamaCare. But then we can’t really be surprised. Every single constituent in his [...]
