Post Labor Day Political Analysis: The Arrogance of “the One” has Caused Him to become Undone
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | September 6th at 06:29 PM |
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 »

Shhhhhh: The WH is Quiet after 13 American Nuke Plants take the 5.9 Earthquake in Stride
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | August 28th at 07:18 PM |
I was expecting the anti-nuclear power crowd at the White House would have used the recent earthquake in Virginia to wring their hands and nod solemnly about the need to frighten “be concerned” about the close proximity of a nuclear power plant to the epicenter of the quake. But, wait — silence, even from the White House, who took the ignition of Deep Horizon in | Read More »
The Mainstream Media’s Dr. Jekyll Antidote
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | January 11th at 09:32 AM |
We know from the Dem ObamaCare cliff-jumping exercise, that the Dems listen to, and do as they are told by the mainstream media. But the cracks in the ObamaCare-hold-hands-and-sing-kum-bah-ya-love-fest are now beginning to be hard for the MSM to ignore. First, Kate Pickert of TIME magazine wrote a piece that argued the Dems have fallen into a trap by passing ObamaCare, and that politically, things | Read More »

Massive Dem Losses in the House means the Senate Goes Too
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | November 2nd at 09:17 AM |
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 »
Killing ObamaCare is a Rational Act
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | March 5th at 07:07 AM |
One hour and forty minutes after the White House issued their Easter deadline for ObamaCare to pass Congress, Democratic House Leaders conceded “they may not meet President Barack Obama’s challenge for swift action.” Whenever the House Leadership moves a vote, it means they don’t have the votes. In Spanish, that’s mañana. With the White House issuing a deadline and the Dem House leaders immediately and | Read More »

Krugman: “We’re doomed.”
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | February 11th at 09:43 AM |
The Trillion Dollar President ran on his “yes we can” slogan, but, it turns out, a former State Senator and a part-time U.S. Senator who campaigned instead of legislating may be able to convince people he can, but, well there is this: even Paul Krugman believes he can’t. Krugman, in the NYT, writes “We’re doomed.” Yes, the Krugman piece is about the Trillion Dollar President, | Read More »
In the NYT’s, the Number One Health Reform Bill Killing Issue Gets One Sentence
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | October 26th at 11:45 AM |
The abortion issue, you may recall, was described by George Stephanopoulos as “the gravest threat” to the health reform bill. The largest concentration of Democratic NO votes on health care reform are because of the abortion issue. So, naturally, in an article about Speak Pelosi’s efforts to rally votes for ObamaCare, the New York Times actually talked about other issues besides the public option as | Read More »
Vapor Bill Gets a Vapor Score from CBO
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | October 8th at 11:32 AM |
The MSM would like the American public to believe that the Senate Finance Committee bill was scored by the Congressional Budget Office. After all, WaPo, the NYT and the WSJ reported: WaPo: “The bill would cost $829 billion over the next decade.” NYT: “The budget office analyzed the bill … its newly projected cost — $829 billion over 10 years.” WSJ: “The latest Senate health | Read More »

Like Hillary Clinton, they will get nothing, nada, zilch, zero
By: Dan Perrin (Diary) | August 12th at 02:18 PM |
The first thing to read today, is historically significant. It is the first time a lioness of the left has called for Speaker Pelosi to step down, in print, in the MSM, citing the Congressional health care reform train wreck. Published today in Salon, it is titled Obama’s healthcare horror. The second development is a far more serious, structural political problem for the Democrats — | Read More »
