I Don’t See the Problem Here

MORE ILLINOIS DEVELOPMENTS: Dem. Ill. lt. gov. candidate exits race amid furor. “The pawn broker and owner of a cleaning supplies company won the nomination Tuesday. Since then, it has become widely know that he […]



The rats are jumping ship.

Congressional Democrats are nay-saying Obama’s budget
A Democratic Senate candidate in Missouri denounced the budget’s sky-high deficit. A Florida Democrat whose congressional district includes the Kennedy Space Center hit the roof over NASA budget cuts. And a headline on the 2010 campaign website of Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) blares her opposition to Obama’s farm budget: “Blanche […]



It’s Easier to Kill an Administration Bent on Suicide

Rahm Apologizes for Privately Calling Liberal Activists “Retarded” - Political Punch
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel apologized to the head of the Special Olympics today after the Wall Street Journal reported the fiery Chicagoan privately called a group of liberal activists “f—ing retarded.”
Well, given that the hard core lefties - his base - are […]



Another Dream World Heard From…

Kinda sick fun - watching Valerie Jarrett on Meet The (De)Press(ed) trying to explicate how The Obamanation & Co. “…turned the economy around…” in the last twelve months!
Nice “deer-in-the-headlights” empty-headed look she had on her pan at several junctures, especially when she was vainly striving to explain just what The Won intended to actually do […]



Do you know?

By a democrat. The REAL difference between Democrats and Republicans: Dems know how to work the system – by Sebastian Gray for Gray Matters
As a lifelong Democrat, I’m frequently perplexed by some of the behavior of all the Republican friends I made during the McCain/Palin campaign when those of us here at HillBuzz led Democrats […]



Left Squalls As Cash Advantage Removed

Court Rulings Erode Spending Restrictions for Elections - NYTimes.com
The United States Chamber of Commerce, the goliath of the lobbying world, is expected to outline its battle plan next week for the midterms. It spent $25 million on advertisements and get-out-the-vote efforts in the 2006 elections and $36 million in 2008, and will spend far more […]



King Canute Commands The Tides

Today’s WSJ quotes the President: “Never again will the American taxpayer be held hostage by a bank that it too big to fail.”
In one remark, Obama finally reveals himself incontrovertibly to be a liar or a fool, or both.
Surely no can can be such a naif as to believe that they can legislate such […]



Breakout Breakdown

Could I have been more stunningly wrong? I hate the forecast business.
I think it most likely a case of investors fearing that, with health care torpedoed, Obama will now go after the financial industry with a bludgeon, and do his best to destroy it.
So I’m in retraction mode.



A House divided.

House Liberals To Pelosi: “We Cannot Support The Senate Bill. Period.”
In a private meeting in the Capitol just now, a dozen or more House liberals bluntly told Nancy Pelosi that there was no chance that they would vote to pass the Senate bill in its current form — making it all but certain that […]



Dem Doom: Busting Out All Over

Election 2010: Colorado Senate Race - Rasmussen Reports™
Former Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton has opened up an even wider lead over incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet in this year’s U.S. Senate race in Colorado.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Colorado finds the top Republican candidate with a 12-point lead over Bennet, 49% to […]



Brown-out

Just sent by a friend, unfortunately no link:
Poll shocker: Scott Brown surges ahead in Senate race
Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new 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,” […]



As if you really needed more reasons to support Brown.

Martha’s Greatest Hits: The Things the Democrats Would Like You to Forget About Candidate Coakley
Let’s start with a horrific case that shows Coakley’s inexplicable and appalling lack of judgment:
1. October 2005: The curling-iron toddler rape case. Coakley brings no charges, then lets the rapist out on no bail.
Martha’s Greatest Hits II: Candidate Coakley […]



Great Job, Marxist Idiots!

Golden State Off the Rails As Mass Transit Ridership Plummets - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine
What do people in the world’s tenth largest economy do in a severe recession? They stop taking the bus, fill up their tanks, and start driving. It’s happening all over California.
This is an interesting case of “burying the lede” […]



Not Really Racist

Gateway Pundit
What a shock. The far left communists, socialists, radicals and democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus released a statement today saying they’re cool with Harry Reid calling Obama a light-skinned negro.
Reid - or Pelosi or any other Democrat paladin - could call Obama a nappy-headed negro porch monkey, and the morons down on the […]



Me, For One

Democrats Wary as Two Senators Decide to Retire - NYTimes.com
Together, the developments heightened a perception that a conservative push against the president’s ambitious agenda, a sluggish recovery from the deep recession and an outbreak of angry populism have combined to deplete Mr. Obama’s political strength and give Republicans a chance for big gains in this […]



The Solution: Blow Up That Road

America as Texas vs. California « The Enterprise Blog
Like California, the Obama team and their congressional allies seem to think that entrepreneurs and business leaders will simply sit there and take it, doing their “civic duty” by paying new direct and indirect taxes, and complying like obsequious puppies with new regulatory requirements. California provides pretty […]



Landscape Shifting

Daniel Foster on National Review Online
January 6, 2010 could well become a national day of mourning for Democrats, as it brought news that Sen. Chris Dodd (D., Conn.), Sen. Byron Dorgan (D., N.D.) and Governor Bill Ritter (D., Colo.) will not seek reelection, significantly altering the political landscape for Republicans in 2010.

Well, a couple of […]



Trust - Then Vote the Bastards Out

Doctor Zero » The Carnivorous Government
Bob Schieffer makes an amusing joke about Obama spin resembling the feeble excuses of Tiger Woods, and observes that spin doctoring “makes it harder to believe anything the government says… Real security is based on trust in government.”
No, real security is based on trust in ourselves, our liberties, and our […]



Why Can’t the GOP Be This Tough?

Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler » Video of the Day
You remember, don’t you? The PUMAs. The ones that “True Conservatives” were warning us about supporting back in ‘08.
Well… Once again they’ve come out with something that reaffirms His Majesty in his decision back then to […]



Pot Calling A Kettle A Pot

Instapundit » Blog Archive » WILLIE BROWN ON CALIFORNIA’S PROBLEMS:
But at some point, someone is going to have to get honest about the fact that 80 percent of the state, county and city budget deficits are due to employee costs.”
This is pretty funny, considering that Willie in large part hand-built the systems that are eating […]



Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Dems declare war on Rasmussen?
The pointed attacks reflect a hardening conventional wisdom among prominent liberal bloggers and many Democrats that Rasmussen Reports polls are, at best, the result of a flawed polling model and, at worst, designed to undermine Democratic politicians and the party’s national agenda. …
Right. Right. […]



Easy to Be A….Dumbass

They still don’t love us - Other Views - MiamiHerald.com
Still, the conciliatory tone from President Obama does serve a useful purpose. When Bush was president, it was easy to believe that people like Chávez or regimes such as Iran’s acted the way they did because America spoke in tones they found offensive or overly confrontational. […]



No Political Speech Allowed

Yet another donkey sucker has no use for the Constitution:
Grayson Wants Critic Jailed for Claiming to be His Constituent
Florida Rep. Alan Grayson wants to see one of his critics go directly to jail — all over her use of the word “my.”…
In a four-page letter sent to Holder, Grayson accuses Langley of lying to federal […]



Abortion Fees in Socialized Medicine Bill

Republican Leader John Boehner | Sen. Reid’s Government-Run Health Plan STILL Requires a Monthly Abortion Fee
Fixed it is not. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) latest health care “manager’s amendment” would STILL levy a new “abortion premium” fee on Americans under the Democrats’ health care plan. Just like the original 2,032-page, government-run health […]
