Is America Ready For President Palin?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’m asking because it sure seems like she’s getting ready to run. People bring up Hillary Clinton’s negatives, but that just points out the obvious: Barack Obama won, Hillary Clinton lost.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Where is all the talk of disenfranchised voters? Remember them? When Al Gore was on the losing side of the equation, disenfranchised voters were all the rage. So popular, those voters.

How Bad Is Obamacare? How Evil? This Evil.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

How evil is Obamacare? Donald Berwick bad. 1. The Obama administration doesn’t want to talk about health care in any forum. Ever. 2.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I knew science was political. And I knew political types like to monkey with science. But this action by Elena Kagan should disqualify her from the Supreme Court.

Obama’s Deadly Deadline: What President Obama Really Wants In Afghanistan

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Marc Theissen has an excellent piece today about Afghanistan and President Obama’s deadlines: The deadline is more than a tactical error; it is a strategic miscalculation that undermines almost every element of our efforts in Afghanistan. A withdrawal date undermines the very premise of a counterinsurgency strategy — that by protecting the population, you can […]

 

Is President Obama Trying To Kill The Gulf State Economies?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

It sure seems like President Obama despises Republican states. The industry remains dormant in the Gulf.

Doctors Sick Of Medicare, Limiting Government Patients

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Well, this is utterly unsurprising. And the article undersells what the docs are doing.
