Whatever passes the House to repeal and replace ObamaCare, and/or defund it, will face Senate Democratic no votes or filibuster in the Senate, such is the conventional wisdom. However, the 23 Democratic Senators up in 2012 may now find that they want to distance themselves from radioactive-Nancy, or I-did-a-bad-job-of-selling-socialism-Obama, or t Passage out of Congress to force The One to either sign or veto, will | Read More »
Economic cocaine: “Has Bernanke stumbled upon the ultimate formula for wealth everlasting? Has the man who once said he would drop money from helicopters if the need arose cracked the code to eternal, effortless prosperity? Just print money and be happy? “If this were true,” ventured Bill Bonner earlier this week in his essay “Plumbers Crack”, “it was a giant step forward for humanity, at | Read More »
I’m not a fan of Olbermann’s politics or his sports commentary, nor do I watch his show or watch MSNBC. Having said that, it is the height of hypocrisy for MSNBC to pretend their politics are not hard core left-wing, or that the public is some how immune to understanding MSNBC’s politics are hard left. Maddow is a socialist — and they replaced a conservative | Read More »
It is almost pathetic to watch the Democrats delude themselves about health care reform. It starts with The One and Pelosi. They said if they pass health care they will avoid the fate of former President Clinton, who lost 54 seats in 1996 because he did not pass health care reform. Turns out, even with the massive demographic changes in the U.S., the Dems are | Read More »
What is the difference between no investor or country will buy U.S. Treasury bonds, and the following sentence from the Wall Street Journal: “In essence, the Fed now will print money to buy as much as $900 billion in U.S. government bonds through June—an amount roughly equal to the government’s total projected borrowing needs over that period.” I do understand the difference, but I want | Read More »
Jonathan Chait is at it again. He believes that if after the mid-terms the economy improves, The One should get all the credit, but that it will shared by the GOP because the business press will report economic progress as a result of The One moving right. I seriously doubt that The One, with soon-to-be Minority Leader Pelosi jerking his chain and his own natural | Read More »
Forgive me for stating the obvious — but given the MSM’s all out push to save the Senate for their pals the Dems — it bears mentioning: 1) if my algorithm which predicts a net loss of 77 Dem House seats is correct, or if Silver’s column in the NYT’s explaining how the Dems could lose 78 House seats is correct, or if Jay Cost’s | Read More »
This algorithm is designed to predict the net gains or losses by the each party in both houses of the U.S. Congress. I have reviewed most recent data which I use as the values in the algorithm. In half of the variable data inputs, the Democrats showed some modest improvement. However, in the other half of the variable data inputs, the Democrats showed statistically significant | Read More »
Get this, Politico writes that Dem political consultants discovered that the Obama agenda “turned out to be radioactive to a wide swath of the electorate.” This is news? To who? How biased do you have to be for this to be news? Perhaps to political consultants who don’t listen to the public. Or political consultants who listen to the main stream media, who followed The | Read More »
It is so funny to read the mainstream media report as “news” that independents have bolted from the Dems, or that voters don’t like ObamaCare. It has been that way since August of 2009 — a mere 14 months. But the media refused to believe that health care has destroyed their hero — The One. They just keep producing polls, and the closer to election | Read More »
It should be perfectly clear to the country and the world that The One is arrogant. But for those who are still wondering why anyone would think that, let me help. Let’s take a look at the rationale for super-spending on Porkulus (close to a trillion dollars) and then another two trillion on ObamaCare. These decisions perfectly capture the arrogance of Obama. Americans are not | Read More »
The Jonestown Kool-Aid brigade, known for forcing their followers to drink cyanide laced Kool-Aid, found new leaders in The One, David Axelrod and Nancy Pelosi. With all their followers about to be forced into the Dem Death Panels by voters, TIME magazine is now reporting that the delusional Speaker will retire if the Dems lose the House, along with others who force fed their death-by-drinking-the-Kool-Aid | Read More »
Rep. Pomeroy (D-ND) is a coward. And truly, I cannot stand cowards. They are contemptible, weak and usually whine a lot. But most of all, when you really need them — they fold like a card table. You know, look at their feet a lot and wring their hands. And the coward Pomeroy did not stand to, he folded. He bears substantial responsibility for the | Read More »
For about the past ten years, every election cycle I would create an algorithm to predict the outcome of the gains and losses of the Dems and GOP in the House and Senate elections. It was a back-of-the-envelope experience. I never did record the algorithm or keep any notes. Every cycle I created, de novo, a new algorithm. (This year I had in my head | Read More »
E.J. Dionne is the epitome of how far American liberalism has gone off the tracks. Exhibit A is his holy-water-sprinkled-secular-liberal hypocritical attack on the first Amendment in today’s column in The New Republic. E.J. Dionne is the worst kind of hypocrite — one who moralizes, preaches and does so in patronizing, holier-than-thou-tones. He parades his hypocrisy. E.J. Dionne makes his living, by writing, making speeches | Read More »
Carol E. Lee of Politico writes about the days gone by of The One’s 50 state campaign, where he went deep into Republican territory. But not now. No, now The One is in an end-of-campaign attempt to save the deepest, bluest states from a public that is really focused on removing from him, his total control of Congress. “But Republicans, with help from a bad | Read More »
The One’s arrogance is so great that he has declared — after spilling the beans about knowing details of the Koch’s financial structure which could only be found out by a close review of their tax returns — that his political opponents were taking foreign money. Why? Here is a thought: so he could deploy the nation’s counter-intelligence resources to do his bidding. All it | Read More »
Pew found the GOP has a +10 point generic among likely voters, nearly matching Gallup’s GOP at +11 in the generic ballot advantage among likely voters, in a high turnout mid-term election. According to proven predictive algorithms, if the Gallup generic ballot (high turn out) or the Pew generic ballot findings are correct the Dems should lose about 70 House seats. These levels of losses | Read More »
Silver in the NYT: “…there is considerable disagreement among pollsters on the magnitude of the enthusiasm gap. If Gallup’s likely voter model, which implies extremely lopsided turnout in favor Republicans, were to be correct, G.O.P. gains would be well in excess of 50 seats. “ Just to be clear, Silver says the consensus among prognosticators is that the Dems lose 50 seats, plus or minus | Read More »
