Ellsworth (D-IN) Joins Team ObamaCare
At this point Democrats are just pulling a Kamikaze maneuver. Representative Brad Ellsworth (D-IN) is seeking the US Senate and yet he’s voting in favor of $2 trillion+ government-run health care with federal abortion funding. There’s no way this supposedly pro-life Democrat wins the Senate seat now. He must know he’ll be slaughtered in November, [...]
Graham: Pass ObamaCare And Immigration Reform Is Dead
19. March 2010
Note to Democrats: Your vote for government-run health care will be a vote to kill immigration reform. That’s the message being sent by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the foremost proponents on the right of amnesty for illegal aliens. He says passage of government-run health care, with its federal funding for abortions and cuts [...]
Boyd (D-FL) Joins The Kamikaze Brigade
19. March 2010
Rep. Allan Boyd (D-FL), who has purported to be fiscally responsible in the past, has decided to side with Nancy Pelosi in voting “yes” on $2 trillion+ government-run health care legislation. What made him decide to ignore the will of his constituents and the country-at-large? If he’s anything like the other “moderate” Democrats who have [...]
Revealed: Democrats Plan Another $371 Billion In HC Costs
19. March 2010
Democrats will introduce legislation that removes the Medicare cuts to doctors in exchange for another $371 billion in health care costs, bringing the total cost of the government-run health care legislation to well-over $1 trillion. That will wipe out any deficit reductions indicated in the CBO score. Why the separate legislation for this “doc fix”? [...]
Boccieri (D-Ohio) To Vote For Federal Abortion Funding
19. March 2010
Next up on our “committing political suicide for Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama” list, Rep. John Boccieri (D-Ohio). Rather than standing up for the interests of his constituents and the vast majority of the American people, Boccieri will vote for government-run health care legislation. Keep in mind that this $2 trillion+ legislation makes major cuts [...]
Reminder to Democrats: Vote Won’t End Fight
19. March 2010
An inherit problem comes along with passing new, unpopular entitlement programs that don’t kick-in for years: It gives your opposition time to organize, retake the government, and repeal the legislation. Even if ObamaCare with its insurance mandate provisions and possibly unconstitutional passage were to withstand legal challenges, benefits don’t take effect until 2014. That’s two [...]
CBO: Real ObamaCare Cost Upwards of $2 Trillion
19. March 2010
Funny story. The $940 billion price tag being touted by Democrats? The projection includes 2010, which we’re almost 1/3 done with already. Oh, and the costly benefits don’t actually kick-in until four years into the next ten years. So that price tag only reflects about, oh, five and a half years. Like I said, funny [...]
Oberstar Suddenly Not 100% “Yes” On ObamaCare
18. March 2010
Following heated words with Nancy Pelosi, Representative Jim Oberstar (D-MN) is no longer calling himself a definite “yes” on government-run health care. And you know what that means. Time to call him…again. Oberstar, after reportedly having words with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appears to have backed off the assurance he gave last weekend, when he [...]
Chris Matthews & Interruptions
18. March 2010
He’s not quite clear on the concept of irony. Chris Matthews asks Joan Walsh about Bret Baier constantly interrupting Obama, then interrupts her answer. Thanks to Howard Kurtz.
House Democrat: “We will keep stealing”
18. March 2010
The House Democrat would be Representative Tom Perriello (D-VA), and I have a feeling he won’t be invited to speak for the party again anytime soon. You know what might not be a good idea when heading into an already-impossible election year? Declaring that Americans have to tie your party’s hands in order to prevent [...]
