DCCC: Cato is a “right-wing extremist group”
Either the DCCC is lying or it’s too oblivious to understand the Cato Institute. Which is fine if you’re an average American but hardly excusable for a wing of a national political party. First, the memo: “While making today’s announcement that he will once again run for Congress in New York’s 24th District, [Richard] Hanna [...]
Obama: You Know, We Should Probably Slow Down
20. January 2010
Yeah, seems like a good idea. Seeing as how Democrats are losing U.S. Senate seats in states where their own party members outnumber Republicans by about 3 to 1. One would think a change of course, or at least hesitance to go forward, is warranted at this point. This puts Obama in an odd position. [...]
Stupid: Beck Rips Scott Brown Apart
20. January 2010
Why? Because Brown joked last night that his daughters, both of them older, are available. It was clearly a “father embarrassing his kids” skit, with his daughters and the crowd responding as expected. We’re not talking about a creepy guy putting a 9-year-old girl up for auction. And yet here comes Glenn Beck to rip [...]
Axelrod: You Know, Brown Didn’t Even Run Ads Against ObamaCare
20. January 2010
Ah, the bargaining lying and spinning stage of the Democrat grief process. Scott Brown spent his campaign telling everyone who would listen that he’d be the 41st vote against ObamaCare. In fact, one of his supporters’ chants was “41! 41! 41!”. The media made everyone pretty clear on the fact that a Brown election would [...]
Military’s Fort Hood Report Doesn’t Mention Hasan or Islam
20. January 2010
The military’s report on Major Nidal Hasan’s brutal murder of 13 innocent individuals once again shows the lengths the federal government is willing to go to be politically correct. As Time notes, the report doesn’t mention Islam, Hanan’s religion and admitted motivation for the killings. In fact, the report doesn’t even mention his name. We [...]
Obama TSA Nominee: On Second Thought, I’m Outta Here
20. January 2010
Turns out lying to Congress and having a history of abusing power becomes more serious when your political allies no longer have a filibuster-proof majority with which to approve your nomination. Erroll Southers, who was censured by the FBI for abusing his power and then lied about the matter under testimony to Congress, has withdrawn [...]
A Few Thoughts on Massachusetts
20. January 2010
Methinks the tax-cutting JFK would be proud. I don’t blame those on the left who said last night wouldn’t be possible. I didn’t think it was possible, either. That said, don’t underestimate the willingness of any American to buck the will of Washington. Those who claim it wasn’t a referendum on health care reform are [...]
Barney Frank: No Reconciliation For Health Care
20. January 2010
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass), taking into consideration last night’s electoral results in Massachusetts, has ruled out the use of reconciliation — overriding the current rules to require only 51 Senate votes for passage — on the current health care reform debate. Frank, not exactly known for his strong ethics, is actually showing some strong ethics [...]
Status Report: Still In Disbelief
19. January 2010
A Republican promising to defeat Ted Kennedy’s dream just easily won the United States Senate seat in Massachusetts — winning a seat held by the late Ted Kennedy. He carried districts Barack Obama easily won in 2008, even picking up Hyannis Port. And mind you, this isn’t a Republican promising to be as liberal as [...]
Breaking: Scott Brown Wins Senate Seat
19. January 2010
It’s all over. The Boston Globe and Washington Post are both reporting that Martha Coakley (D) has called Scott Brown (R) to concede the special U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts. The Associated Press is also calling the race for Brown. Update: Scott Brown’s daughter tells the media that Coakley has conceded. Update II: To underscore [...]
