The Speaker’s flip-flops are catching up with her. And the strangeness is starting to show (see the video): we have to pass the Senate bill so the public can see what is in it. Her famed control over house members minds is fading: She supported Chairman Rangel right up until she dumped him. She did not have the muscle to impose upon the Ways and | Read More »
When the lead paragraph in a story in the Boston Globe — owned by the New York Times — from a story titled “Obama here for Coakley, trailing a diminished aura,” reads: “The feverish excitement that propelled Barack Obama and scores of other Democrats to victory in 2008 has all but evaporated, worrying party leaders who are struggling to invigorate the base before Tuesday’s Massachusetts | Read More »
Who Jokerized Senator Nelson — Michelle Malkin: “Nebraskans have Jokerized Ben Nelson. (Or rather, he Jokerized himself, didn’t he?)” Here is another version of Nelson as the Joker done by RedState’s bkeyser (note the Planned Parenthood backdrop.) The art work of the first famous Joker, of the Trillion Dollar President, was done by a Kucinich for President supporter. Was this done by a Progressive who | Read More »
Word is rampant among the Senate leadership, as well as is being reported by the Wall Street Journal, that Senator Reid has got to 60 votes on cloture on the Senate ObamaCare bill. The question of whether we live in a country ruled by leaders who refuse to listen, but do what they believe is in their own interest, has been answered. Conservatives hate this | Read More »
Daily Kos, essentially with this post, is telling the left to go-ahead and beat ObamaCare to a pulp because it is not going to pass anyway.

Daily Kos posted the audio of Senator Nelson’s recent radio interview in Lincoln, | Read More »
Let’s play a what if game, shall we? According to a numerous reports, Senator Reid has caved to Senator Lieberman’s demands — NO public option, NO trigger, NO Medicare buy-in. Senator Reid now needs 60 votes to pull the public option out of the bill. Will all the liberals, the Burris-Sanders-Franken-Brown-Feingold block of Senators, and perhaps others, vote to pull the public option out of | 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 »
Everyone in the country closely following the ObamaCare saga have been waiting for Senator Nelson (D-NE) to give us a sense of where he is on the bill since his abortion restriction amendment failed last week. Yesterday, Senator Nelson — a long time pro-lifer — said: “I can’t support cloture [ending the filibuster] on the next round,” and that adds a second large monkey wrench | Read More »
The Financial Times is reporting that President Obama is attempting quell a revolt within his Party on Obamacare. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that from Charlie Cook to Larry Sabato are predicting big gains for Republicans in the Congress? Could it be that these now vulnerable House and Senate members are angry that President Obama and the Democratic Leadership has so completely fumbled | Read More »
