That is the new meme emerging following the two gubernatorial losses last night for Democrats. I seemed to have missed it where Obama was on the ballot, but that’s what all the talking heads want us to think. Let’s take a look at Creigh Deeds and the Virginia race. Actually have a look at Think […]
It always amazes me when the right goes on about how charities should take care of social needs. The problem is when people start losing money the first thing that gets cut is their charitable donations, which then results in things like this: The holiday project is a group of nine nonprofit agencies that rely […]
Is this any real shock? With Democratic leaders and White House officials holed up in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) office negotiating a final bill, Republicans are demanding a deceleration of the process and moving to define whatever plan that emerges as a combination of Medicare cuts, tax increases, higher insurance premiums and rising […]
Well that’s if you believe a new report that news organizations like the Washington Post is pushing as some sort of big news item: After months of collaboration on President Obama’s attempt to overhaul the nation’s health-care system, the insurance industry plans to strike out against the effort on Monday with a report warning that […]
Yesterday Bob Dole joined a growing number of big name Republicans in supporting the health care bill: “Sometimes people fight you just to fight you,” he said, according to The Kansas City Star. “They don’t want Reagan to get it, they don’t want Obama to get it, so we’ve got to kill it…” “Health care […]

There is no arguing now that the health care debate has taken a turn for the worse, and now mimics something we would expect to see out of foreign nations. On Tuesday night a health care opponent decided to punch out a supporter of reform as an event being held by Ben Nelson. As if […]
Last week I posted about how minority leader John Boehner wasn’t holding any town halls. Well it appears he has now decided to change course. And just check out where: House Minority Leader John Boehner has agreed to answer questions in a town hall setting at the Voice of America Freedom Rally on Sept. 5 […]
So the Republicans want to “protect” Medicare now? I wonder if anyone will ask them about the debacle the Republicans caused with Medicare in 2006 with the new Medicare drug program. Remember that? The news was covered with stories of seniors not being able to receive their life supporting medications because of the mess created […]
President Obama is getting more forceful in his fight for real health care reform, which is a much welcomed site. Yesterday he started invoking FDR and reminding people how the Republicans opposed social security. Then during the Johnson years they opposed Medicare. In both fights the GOP labeled the people pushing for change as “socialists”. […]
