As Perry solidified his lead for the GOP nomination, the opposite has happened to “the One,” who, in short, has become obviously and glaringly undone — in a way that has been so dramatic that even the main stream media cannot ignore it, downplay it or talk around it. Basically, if there is a credible pollster, Obama has hit that pollster’s all time low, including | 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 »
Charlie Cook, Frank Luntz, www.fivethirtyeight.com, Joseph Bafumi (writing in the Huffington Post) all predict the Dems will lose the U.S. House. My own algorithm (unpublished) also predicts a loss of the House for the Dems, and has for months. But the main-stream media and the Dems refuse to acknowledge the role that their Jonestown Kool-Aid Brigade played as they all drank deeply and for 16 | Read More »
Brian Darling of the Heritage Foundation has moved the entire health care world from refitting weapons and/or R & R to DEFCON Two with these two posts, here and here. Darling is not only one of the few real operational experts on Senate Rules, he is a highly effective operative for the good guys. If Darling says the Dems are going to try it, they | Read More »
The Trillion Dollar President told flagging Dems at their Party pow-wow yesterday in D.C. that, as the LA Times reports, “trimming goals and postponing hard choices are the wrong approach,” and that “he would press ahead with his healthcare proposal and other pieces of his ambitious agenda.” President Obama blames lobbyists — apparently taking a page from the Luntz financial reform playbook — for his | Read More »
Drunk with delusion, will the Jonestown Kool-Aid Brigade go for it on ObamaCare? We’ll find out at the end of the week — but we have been hearing that for weeks. No decision, is in fact, a decision. The endless attempt to revive the dead, by practitioners who believe that one more adrenaline shot, one more “CLEAR!” with the paddles will re-awake ObamaCare to rise | Read More »
H/T America’s Blog, from Sam Stien at the Huffington Post: “It could well be” a recipe for disaster in 2010, [AFL-CIO president Richard] Trumka told a group of reporters. “I just came back from southern California. I was in five or six places out there… it is amazing the number of people that come up to you unsolicited and say, ‘I’m really worried about this | Read More »
When Lee Stranahan, an uninsured father and Huffington Post blogger, who supported President Obama, made calls and worked to elect him launches a youtube video attack on the Trillion Dollar President that chronicles how Obama (in his own words) has violated his promise of not taxing the middle class, violated the promise of allowing you to keep your plan if you like it, and violated | Read More »
The Hill is reporting that Senator Sanders is a NO on ObamaCare: Asked by Fox Business Network’s Neil Cavuto asked Sanders if he could support the compromise bill. The senator replied “I’m struggling with this. As of this point I am not voting for the bill. And here’s why.” Sanders, who favors a single-payer healthcare system, said that he has informed the White House and | Read More »
Update: The New York Times is reporting: “In a surprise setback for Democratic leaders, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, said on Sunday that he would vote against the health care legislation in its current form.” And on the issue of abortion, the New York Times was equally shocked by Senator Nelson: “On a separate issue, Mr. Reid tried over the weekend to concoct | Read More »
Senator Carper (D-DE) has put a hold on Senator Dorgan’s (D-ND) drug re-importation amendment, who in turn, has objected to the Senate moving on any other health care amendments, until his pending drug re-importation amendment is voted on. Got that? It’s a Dem on Dem cage match. The Republicans, meanwhile, offered to stay in over the weekend and are now wishing they had not. NOTE | Read More »
It does not feel like it, but we are winning the war against ObamaCare. You may feel like the political system is broken and the Democrats are not listening to the voters. You feel that way because it is true, the Democrats are not listening. But that does not mean the bill will not die — because it turns out that the two Independent Senators | Read More »
Like robots programed to march until they find a cliff and can march no longer, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi have been forced into the most contorted public position on any legislation — perhaps ever. Senator Durbin (D-IL), the U.S. Senate Majority Whip said yesterday that the left forced the Democrat’s hand, and we’ll “see where we come out.” (H/T Huffington Post.) | Read More »
