Sacred No More: Nothing can Travel Faster than Light — Next up, Intelligent Alien Life does not Exist

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 7th at 01:17 PM  | 

The arrogance of man knows no bounds. Just look at “the One,” our President. His arrogance is destructive and blinding to his own eyes, and those closest to him. Listening to “the One” is like listening to the patronizing and condescending tones of scientists explaining nothing can travel faster than light. Except now, 160 scientists from 11 countries can’t figure out how a particle from | Read More »

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 »

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 »

The Jonestown Kool-Aid Brigade Leader to Retire When Dems Lose the House

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 29th at 10:01 AM  | 

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 »

The Real Reason Obama is Shrill about Rove’s Secret Money

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 13th at 08:47 AM  | 

David Axelrod and President Obama allowed undisclosed (secret) donors to give to their campaign in 2008, documented by the Washington Post, here. And David Axelrod and President Obama took PhRMA money — more than Rove’s $50 million — to fund their commercials run against Democrats to pass their ObamaCare plan. So, on principle, it is clear that despite what Axelrod and Obama say, they have | Read More »

Quotable: The One’s Dead Cat Bounce

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 8th at 08:25 AM  | 

This is the Dems improving? “The public is divided on the overall job he is doing now: 44 percent say they approve, while 45 percent disapprove in a new CBS News poll – virtually unchanged from last month. “The president’s rating on the economy, however, has taken a further plunge in the poll. Now, only 38 percent say they approve of the job he is | Read More »

E.J. Dionne Reponds to my RS Post, in the Washington Post

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  June 21st at 05:23 PM  | 

About two hours ago I read E.J. Dionne’s email, about his post, which he wrote to RS in response to my post. Dionne’s email says: Greetings. You recently posted a critique of a column I wrote this week and I chose to reply to it on the Post’s blog because I thought your writer misconstrued what I had written and also because I disagreed with | Read More »

E.J. Dionne and the NPR Poll

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  June 17th at 11:12 AM  | 

E.J. Dionne, one of the single most annoying liberals on the planet, simply dismisses the NPR poll out of hand (it shows 49% re-electing their GOP Member of Congress, but only 34% re-electing the Dem) by calling it “preposterous:” “But the numbers in the NPR survey are so bad that Democrats might pause before becoming lemmings. There is something preposterous about how the administration and | Read More »

Free-Enterprise America: Defend Yourself or Die

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  June 8th at 04:21 PM  | 

ObamaCare could have been stopped if health care industries, the drug companies and health insurers, principally, had opposed the law from the beginning. Even with the now-retiring “pro-life” Stupak Double Cross, the bill only passed the House with three votes after double-crossing Stupak delivered nine. Now, Obama plans on a $125 million ObamaCare television-ad love-fest to protect Members of Congress who voted for the bill. | 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 »

Rolling the Liberals in the House — Updated with a summary & link to the Cantor Whip Count Memo (a must read)

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  January 8th at 10:07 AM  | 

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 Left Pounds ObamaCare, some more

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  December 17th at 05:13 PM  | 

From Politico: “Most dangerously for White House chances of assembling 60 Senate votes, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean launched a third day of attacks on the emerging bill, arguing in a Washington Post op-ed that it meets none of his benchmarks for “real reform.” “[A]s it stands, this bill would do more harm than good to the future of America,” Dean wrote, then took to | Read More »

When Obama Prints a Trillion Dollars a Year in New U.S. Currency, Others say, “Why can’t we do that?”

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  December 17th at 07:07 AM  | 

The trillion dollar President, and his push to spend $2.5 Trillion more on health care, even as the Fed prints a trillion dollars a year to pay our bills, has irreparably harmed the United States. His reckless disregard for the rules of international finance has done one thing: made everyone in the world with a shot at creating the planet’s dominant currency want to print | Read More »

ObamaCare Starts to Show Cracks, Update: Lieberman Tell Reid to his Face: Nyet

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  December 13th at 02:41 PM  | 

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 »

Sen. Ben Nelson: I will not vote to end the filibuster

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  December 12th at 09:07 AM  | 

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 »

Round Up of the Off Year Election Analysis

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  November 5th at 11:17 AM  | 

Broder: “Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee, a leader of the moderate-conservative “Blue Dogs,” called the result ‘a wake-up call for Congress. A tidal wave could be coming.’” “Democratic pollster Peter Hart, in a memo to his clients, warned of the possible consequences of “the disappointment and disgust the American public feels toward Washington. It is as strongly negative as the period of 1979-80 and 1973-74.” | Read More »

Neither Reid nor Pelosi have the Votes

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 27th at 12:34 PM  | 

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 »

Pethokoukis: America’s Banana Republic Economy

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 21st at 08:55 AM  | 

James Pethokoukis (Reuters) cites two examples of why America is well down the road of a banana republic economy. Our record debt levels and deficits, combined the fiscal fantasy land the White House and Congress work and live in are writ large in both examples. First, the White House announces a $250 payment to every senior for inflation that didn’t exist. “In effect, a COLA | Read More »

The Bananization of Our Republic Continues

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  October 19th at 01:15 PM  | 

Desperate men do desperate things, and those who have any doubt just how desperate the Dems are over passing health reform should read the Washington Post editorial that puts the lie to what the White House and Senate Majority Leader Reid are attempting to do — put $241 billion in new health reform spending off-budget. Off-budget is Washington speak for lets-spend-the-money-but-not-count-that-we-are-spending-it. Taking ever so slight | 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 »
