My newspaper column went up after midnight last night and already one lefty is frothing at the mouth. What did I do? Nothing more than quote Democrats’ own words. Oh, and I pointed out that Sarah Palin won the healthcare debate after using the phrase “death panels.” You can check out the column here. Here’s an excerpt: Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm Emanuel’s brother and one of | Read More »
The “Death Panels” get liberals hackles up more than the thought of “rationing” healthcare. But let’s be real. Given limited resources and government funding, at some point your healthcare will be the subject of a cost/benefit analysis by a government bureaucrat. Now here’s the funny thing: it is already happening. We posted on this earlier, but the clip over 3 minutes and 30 seconds. For | Read More »
There is a new pro-Obamacare ad out by a group called “Americans for Stable Quality Care.” You can see the ad here. The ad asks “what does health insurance reform mean for you?” One of the points is “a focus on preventing illness before it strikes.” There’s a problem with that. According to the Congressional Budget Office, preventative care will drive up the costs of | Read More »
This is must see video from New Hampshire worth sharing. Here’s the gist — in New Hampshire, where Barack Obama showed up, local residents stood in the rain to protest Obamacare. Barack Obama’s team bussed in the people to attend the rally and also bussed in the counter protestors. All on tape. Consider this an open thread.
I wrote the other day about Sen. Ben Cardin’s (D-MD) townhall in Maryland. Senator Cardin, you will recall, had his townhall co-sponsored with the SEIU and ACORN. Additionally, his office sent an email to the AFL-CIO, which then forwarded it out, asking Obamacare supporters to attend the event in order to fill the seats and keep out pro-America supporters1. The whole thing was another example | Read More »
Senator Ben Cardin is having another townhall. It’s tomorrow. You can RSVP to attend if you live in Maryland. Keep in mind that he stockpiled SEIU, AFL-CIO, and ACORN members at the last meeting, then belittled his constituents when they asked him questions. I encourage you to show up. Remember, you must RSVP. Details are: Wednesday, August 12th – 1 p.m. Hagerstown Community College Kepler | Read More »
This is Josh Marshall from 2005: What the hell is Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) thinking? She’s holding a townhall meeting on Social Security tomorrow in Baton Rouge, the same day President Bush is holding his Bamboozlepalooza event in Shreveport. But Landrieu’s event is open to the public, no tickets required. I’ll bet her staff hasn’t even put together a Landrieu-loyalty oath yet or done background | Read More »
The Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee have unearthed some interesting and deeply disturbing data about the various healthcare plans floating around Capitol Hill. Here’s what you need to know: the Congressional Budget Office provides an estimated cost over 10 years. BUT, the healthcare bills are not fully implemented until the fourth year. As a result, the CBO estimate, which is already ridiculously high, actually | Read More »
Dear Erick: Here is the email the AARP is sending out: If your inbox is anything like mine, you’re getting a lot of emails about how SCARY health reform is. From allegations about rationing care to wild reports of government-sponsored euthanasia, the rumors just keep getting crazier. And I’ve had enough. Enough of the fear-mongering. Enough of the myths and unfounded rumors. Enough of the | Read More »
