Crazy Like A Fox

Obama Official Criticizes Hike in Anthem Blue Cross Rate | TopNews United States
California insurance regulators have ordered Anthem Blue Cross to delay controversial rate increases of as much as 39% for individual policies, hikes that have landed subscribers and brokers in frenzy.
The Obama administration summoned California’s largest for-profit insurer to pose a justification its rate […]



Never Interrupt Your Enemies When They Are Committing Suicide

Charles Krauthammer : The Meaning of Brown - Townhall.com
That something is substance — political ideas and legislative agendas. Democrats, if they wish, can write off their Massachusetts humiliation to high unemployment, to Coakley or, the current favorite among sophisticates, to generalized anger. That implies an inchoate, unthinking lashing-out at whoever happens to be in power […]

Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, tells National Review Online that House Democrats are planning to use the budget-reconciliation process in order to pass Obamacare. “They’re meeting with each other this weekend to pursue it,” says Ryan. “I’ve spoken with many Democrats and the message […]



How Sweet It Is

Pelosi: House lacks votes to OK Senate health bill - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she lacks the votes to quickly move the Senate’s sweeping health overhaul bill through the House, a potentially devastating blow to President Barack Obama’s signature issue.
Actually, this All Propaganda hack misquotes Pelosi right there in the […]



After Brown….A Call to Arms!

Since well before Obama was elected, I predicted that he would win, that the Dems would win big, and that this smashing triumph would be the destruction of the party.
That process is now in full gear.
Here’s what the Brown victory really means: Obama, Pelosi, and Reid’s biggest threat to liberty in this […]



Socialized Medicine a GOP Plot?

Lawrence O’Donnell: Will Scott Brown Ruin Republicans’ (Secret) Plan to Pass Obamacare?
It is now a given that if he wins a Massachusetts Senate seat on Tuesday, Scott Brown will destroy the Democrats’ plan to pass health care reform. But he will also destroy the Republicans’ not-so-secret plan to pass health care reform.
There is a certain […]



Because There Aren’t Any, That’s Why

Mouth Of The Potomac - NY Daily News
“I think the President while he’s not doing well in the polls, as he pointed out, when the dust settles and people would actually see what’s in this health bill and how it affects tens of millions of people and how those that have insurance will have the […]



Hows that Universal Health Care working out Moore?

Michael Moore is so sure that Cuba has better healthcare. Maybe he should read the news. Cuba investigates psychiatric hospital deaths
Cuban authorities are investigating the deaths of 26 patients at a psychiatric hospital linked to a spell of unusually cold weather.
Human rights activists blamed the deaths on negligence and the dilapidated state of the hospital.

Whistling Past the Corpse

Massachusetts: ‘Bottom has fallen out’ of Coakley’s polls; Dems prepare to explain defeat, protect Obama | Washington Examiner
The same sort of thinking is emerging in Massachusetts. “This is a Creigh Deeds situation,” the Democrat says. “I don’t think it says that the Obama agenda is a problem. I think it says, 1) that she’s a […]



Keep. Pouring. It. On.

Roger L. Simon » Massachusetts shocker: Brown Up 15% in Pajamas Media/CrossTarget Poll

Lame Duck, Dead Duck

Ben Nelson tries to repair damage at home - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com
“On the other side, indeed, there are Nebraskans who do disagree with his vote on health care — some don’t like the bill, some have been misled about what’s in it, some don’t want health reform now, and some disagree for political reasons,” […]



Doing the Socialized Medicine Numbers

RealClearPolitics - HorseRaceBlog - Is Health Care Reform A Sure Thing?
I think that if she has to, Pelosi will send union and ACORN goons around to threaten members’ families with violence to get their votes.



I Hope Obama Fails!

Campaign Spot on National Review Online
Yeah, This Is Not Where Axelrod Thought They Would Be, One Year In
When 48 percent of Americans say your presidency has so far been a failure, I think we can all agree that should be scored as a good, solid B+.
I won’t be happy till that number is up around […]



Scott Brown: Pour. It. On.

Public Policy Polling: Toss up in Massachusetts
Toss up in Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.
Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 48-47.
PPP is a Dem pollster, by the way. He polls for the Dem party.

How Electing Scott Brown Would Sink Obamacare and Socialized Medicine

Fight Everywhere: Scott Brown for Massachusetts | The Next Right
The case for a Brown upset can be summed up as follows: A January 19th special election would likely skew the turnout universe more Republican than it ever would be in the Bay State. The race has received comparably little attention, so turnout is likely to […]



It Should, Though

Moe Lane » “Government Run Healthcare Just Beyond Your Fingertips.”
I mean, really: so what if the President promised eight times while on the campaign trail to bring in C-SPAN*? Everybody knows by now that he lies.
Amazingly enough, even the NYT is reporting it, although it doesn’t come right out and call Obama a liar.



Scott Brown - Contribute What You Can - It’s For Your Own Benefit

The Man Who Can Stop Obamacare by The Editors on National Review Online
Now, the special election for the seat is less than two weeks away. It represents the only electoral threat to 60 that Democrats will face until November. Republican Scott Brown is mounting a surprisingly strong bid, trailing Massachusetts attorney general Martha Coakley by […]



There Goes the Left

AP sources: Obama OKs taxing high-end health plans - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signaled to House Democratic leaders Wednesday that they’ll have to drop their opposition to taxing high-end health insurance plans to pay for health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans.
Now it’s the unions and their solid gold health plans turn in […]

Go, Scott, Go!

Scott Brown: Use enhanced interrogation in attempted terrorism case - BostonHerald.com
Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown says a Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner should be treated as an enemy combatant, transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and interrogated by any legal means.

Getting Closer

Democrats may side-step conference committee on health care - baltimoresun.com
Washington Bureau - As Congressional Democrats attempt to arrive at a final healthcare bill, they appear increasingly likely to forego the formal conference committee process for merging House and Senate versions of legislation, instead opting for closely-held negotiations between leaders from the two chambers.
This is how […]



Change

Power Line - The Cornhusker Concussive
How would the kickback be fixed? The memo explains: “Senator Nelson said it would be ‘fixed’ by extending the Cornhusker Kickback (100% federal payment) on Medicaid to every state.”
In a nutshell: Socialized medicine, Senate version, will be vastly more expensive than they are pretending it will be.
Unlike the […]



The new Ted Kennedy.

The Most “Responsible” of Democrat Leadership, DRUNK on Senate floor He might not be stoned but he sure sounds like Teddy, without the slurring.

He has the dem points down cold(but not sober). The repugs wouldn’t cave in to the dems so they’re not “bi-partisan”. Of course it takes him several minutes of barely coherent babbling […]

We Are No Longer a Nation of Laws. Senate Sets Up Requirement for Super-Majority to Ever Repeal Obamacare - Erick’s blog - RedState
