Marion Berry (D-AR) Goes Into Hiding
I guess Marion Berry (D-AR) does not like being ambushed with easy questions. He has decided to disappear for the month of August and only talk to select groups. Here is an email from a RedState Gathering attendee: Marion Berry is hiding from his constituents. I called his office to see when his town hall meetings were going to be, and Emily, the scheduler, said | Read More »
The Democrats’ Official Talking Point: If you oppose the Democrats’ plans for healthcare, you are a corporate stooge and not a real American
More and more videos are circulating each day of congressmen facing the wrath of the American people. Consequently, the Democrats have come up with an official talking point — the protests are bought and paid for by lobbyists and the insurance industry. Whether we want to or not, we have to pay attention to what Think Progress says when it starts saying the same thing over | Read More »
An Overabundance of Ironies: U.S. Senate May Get Shut Down
From a Senate source to me: A Senate page has swine flu. Because of this, votes may be canceled on Friday (convenient) and if an outbreak is declared they will shut down the whole complex.

Is Healthcare Back On?
Head’s up: there is a rumor circulating in the House of Representatives that enough Blue Dogs have caved on health care for Nancy Pelosi to get the bill to the floor this week. The memo to Republicans assuring them there’d be no vote could have been a ruse to turn down constituent heat enough. Democrats are growing fearful that August recess will turn the Blue | Read More »
Greg Sargent Continues Carrying Water for the Left
Greg Sargent, a leftist hack who now pretends to be an objective journalist, has never been able to help himself. Those who follow his writings at the Plum Line, where he blogs, and on Twitter, can see for themselves that he is nothing but a leftist hack with a few posts thrown in for good measure to keep up appearances. Take today. Sargent decided to | Read More »
Target these Representatives on Healthcare
We know that most of the Blue Dogs are going to oppose healthcare. But what about the non-Blue Dog Democrats who live in districts McCain won? They seem to be good targets in addition to the Blue Dogs. So here’s the list of targets for today. As the week progresses, we’re going to update, add to, and subtract from it. Start calling.

Two things worth noting on the Democrats’ Healthcare Legislation
The Mayo Clinic, a organization Barack Obama has praised, is opposed to the healthcare plan. They’ve actually studied up on it, unlike members of Congress who refuse to read it. Although there are some positive provisions in the current House Tri-Committee bill – including insurance for all and payment reform demonstration projects – the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher-quality, more affordable | Read More »

“In CBO’s judgment, the probability is high that no savings would be realized”
The Politico is breaking some more bad news for Barry O and his socialist storm troopers. According to a CBO analysis, the $1 trillion healthcare plan’s independent panel designed to keep Medicare spending in check would, at best, save only $2 billion of the $1 trillion plan. the Congressional Budget Office said the proposal to give an independent panel the power to keep Medicare spending | Read More »
Republicans Start Attacking Democrats’ “Dying With Dignity” Message
The Republicans are engaging on this front. Good for them. Congressmen Boehner and McCotter released the following statement: Section 1233 of the House-drafted legislation encourages health care providers to provide their Medicare patients with counseling on ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration’ and other end of life treatments, and may place seniors in situations where they feel pressured to sign end of life | Read More »
The Future in Rep. Tonko’s and Barack Obama’s America
We’ve noted remarks by a senior aide to Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) that “probably the best part of the bill is the increase in Hospice care which will solve the prolonging of life issue.” That does not tend to make sense because hospice care is for people already at the end of life who need to be kept comfortable. How on earth does more hospice | Read More »
They might riot next
This is just funny, funny, funny to watch. Do you really think Senators are going to be in a mood to socialize the American healthcare system after experiencing stuff like this from rural Louisiana:

Obama at Waterloo
We have the power to stop Barack Obama on healthcare. We have the power to shut him down. Already, Democrats are recognizing the measure is coming apart at the seams. Nancy says she has the votes, but the markup of the bill in committee keeps getting cancelled. Tonight, Barack Obama goes on television to complain, beg, and cajole the American people to commit themselves to | Read More »
Democrats Want to Teach You to Die With Dignity
H.R. 3200 is the Democrat healthcare bill. Let’s back up for a minute. I noted some time ago Jay Rockefeller went on record to say that at some point the government has to decide whether or not you are allowed to receive any more medical benefits if the cost outweighs the potential benefits. As Mickey Kaus has noted, both Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias are | Read More »
Let’s use this week to gather opposition to healthcare
The other day, Barack Obama said his healthcare plan would not increase the deficit. Every proposal now being considered does increase the deficit. It’s time to get our members of Congress on the record. There are four key questions we need to ask this week. We’ll take the data, compile it, and next week have a more accurate list of targets to build our opposition | Read More »

Explaining Obamacare Via Legos
Praise Mitt Romney. Three years ago, the former Massachusetts Governor had the inadvertent good sense to create the “universal” health-care program that the White House and Congress now want to inflict on the entire country. It is proving to be instructive, as Mr. Romney’s foresight previews what President Obama, Max Baucus, Ted Kennedy and Pete Stark are cooking up for everyone else. — Wall Street | Read More »
