Certainly, most Presidents have been tempted to do what ever it is they want, and most do not, because they listen to those around them and find out they do not know as much as they thought they knew. This problem has zero impact on our current President — as Peretz writes in the New Republic — “the arrogance that is so characteristic of his | Read More »
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” And the voters are going to be on the receiving end of that fury when the Dems elect Pelosi Minority Leader. Too bad the Democrats do not have any man or any woman who can lead them out of the blunder they are about to commit. But voters and experts, operatives and Democratic card carrying members of | 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 »
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 »
Jonathan Cohn’s brain really does live in another dimension. Or at least some place the laws of reality do not apply, I assume happily skipping through the tulips making up the world he lives in. It is the only possible conclusion to draw from his piece in The New Republic that states the Speaker will lose her job because she did not succeed in passing | Read More »
More arrogance from The New Republic: “And I certainly intend no disrespect. Those of us who follow politics closely have the time, and information, to figure out what’s really going on in Washington. The majority of Americans are preoccupied holding onto their jobs, paying their bills, and taking care of their families. Confusion isn’t necessarily a failure on their [American public’s] part. In many if | Read More »
William Galston writing in The New Republic, is quite clear in his lucid conclusions drawn from recent polling about how the public views of Congress: “they also believe by a 2 to 1 margin that if they leave Congress in Democrats’ hands, Obama’s program is what they’ll get.” ObamaCare burned it into the public’s soul that the White House does not care what the public | Read More »
The ObamaCare roll out has run right into, well, itself. From the true-believer-ObamaCare-cheerleader-a-go-go, Jonathan Cohn: “Apparently unresolved, still, is the question of which House votes first. And that’s no small thing. “But the bigger question, really, is the broader one: Will Democrats, particularly in the House, get past their fear and vote for the bill? Really that’s what the summit is all about–convincing nervous Democrats | 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 »
Jonathan Cohn of The New Republic has been one of the Democrats cheerleaders and instigators within the Democratic Party’s world of agenda setting — he urged health care to be tackled, wrote about it constantly and pilloried those who did not want to try. Cohn has never understood the politics of American health care reform, notwithstanding being viewed as an expert. He, like virtually all | Read More »
Their two recent health care columns and Scott Brown here and here, are, nice and gentle and well, little-girl-like-naive. First, each have done their own cheer leading for the Pagan god of health care reform inside the Dem cognoscenti — to the point of gloating that those inside the Democratic party that wanted to wait to do health care later were defeated by the White | Read More »
The New Republic, under the leadership of Jonathan Cohn, has been the number one cheerleader for health care reform writ large. His repeated exhortations for reform has had a similar effect to Paul Krugman of the NYT on the Democratic Party. It is why this article from the New Republic is oh, so very, very important. Stanley Greenberg was the pollster who lead the Democratic | Read More »
