Did you hear about this one Thursday? While you were distracted by the health bloviations, Andy McCarthy found out what the Democrats tried to slip into an intelligence bill The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves.

Fiscal Responsibility Lasted Two Weeks In Senate

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Two weeks ago the U.S. Senate passed new rules that would require new spending to be offset somewhere else in the budget, the so-called paygo rule. They did this because Democrats and Obama got tired of being called big spending socialists and wanted the veneer of fiscal responsibility with which to cloak themselves. It lasted […]

Bill Proposals Move Ill. Primary Back to March (Democrat Capriciousness)

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Estimates of voter participation proved that the February primary didn’t garner much interest. With less than 30 percent of registered voters turning out to nominate those that will run in November, moving the primary to February was obviously a bad move. Of course, this year’s primary was moved up to February in a 2007 bill […]

Explaining The Democratic Health Care Strategery And Why It’s Going To Fail

Posted on February 25, 2010February 25, 2010 by John Hawkins

I’ve heard a lot of confusion about what the Democrats are trying to do on healthcare and the chances of it passing; so I wanted to do a brief, easy-to-understand-as-possible post to explain where we’re at in the process. The Democrats have passed a bill through the House and through the Senate, but they’re different […]

Posted on February 25, 2010February 25, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Obama: Whatever you can do, we’ve done better. Pelosi: People are sad. Reid: People are sad and Republicans suck. Alexander: Here are the CBO facts. Obama to Alexander: You lie. Coburn, MD: We should cut costs. Baucus: Mumble, mumble. Incoherent gibberish. UPDATED: Obama: I won. UPDATED AGAIN: It is my sense that the Democrats want […]

Bernanke: You Dems Are Turning America Into Greece

Posted on February 25, 2010 by William Teach

OK, he didn’t specifically say that, but, for all intentions, that is what he meant With uncharacteristic bluntness, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke warned Congress on Wednesday that the United States could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece, and declared that the central bank will not help legislators by printing […]

When Did Dems Hate Reconciliation? When Bush was Prez, of Course

Posted on February 24, 2010February 24, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid is spitting more of his venom at the Republicans saying that they should “stop crying” about the Democrats desire to use the “nuclear option” — a process called reconciliation — to pass Obamacare despite that most Americans are against the bill. Reid says that reconciliation is common and that […]

Ohio ABC TV Station Presents Democrat Press Release as News Story

Posted on February 24, 2010February 24, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Many of us on the right like to claim that the Old Media is just an arm of the Democrat Party. Of course some of that on our part is bombast, but incidents like this tend to make conservative’s complaints seem more like right-on-target truth than over-the-top complaining. On February 23, ABC TV Channel 7, […]

ObamaCare Includes Massive Tax Hike

Posted on February 24, 2010February 24, 2010 by Dave Blount

Electing an outrageously unqualified community activist who has spent his entire life surrounded by communists would result in lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans, we were repeatedly and emphatically promised. But the hype that installed our socialist kakistocracy is over. Now come the tax hikes: The White House’s new health-care proposal promises the […]

Kamikaze Attack on Our Healthcare System Is Still On

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Dave Blount

In case anyone was under the misperception that Hopey Change has anything whatsoever to do with the consent of the governed, the moonbats controlling Washington are still trying to ram through ObamaCare, despite massive public resistance: A mere three days before President Obama’s supposedly bipartisan health-care summit, the White House yesterday released a new blueprint […]

New Video: ‘Ayn Rand: Goddess Of The Market’

Posted on February 22, 2010February 22, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

White House Has Violated Federal Election Law

Posted on February 22, 2010February 22, 2010 by Dave Blount

If Hopey Change means anything, it’s that Chicago-style politics have gone national. Let’s see if the whole country really wants to live with the sort of government that entails. Via The American Spectactor: “Whoever solicits or receives … any … thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in […]

IRS Plane Attacker Part of ‘Right Wing,’ Christmas Bomber Just a ‘Lone Wolf’

Posted on February 22, 2010February 22, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

No clearer difference can be seen in how the Old Media and its left-wing compatriots treat mass killers, terrorists and nutjobs than the way Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab and Joe Stack have been portrayed by the Old Media and the left. Abdulmutallab, the jihadi Christmas Bomber, was treated as an aberration unconnected with any larger group […]

Posted on February 21, 2010February 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Brooke Fox of Seattle’s MOVIN, 92.5 FM radio show “The Ladies Room” wants to know who would be worth risking jail just so you could punch them out. Such violence.

Public Employees Unions Destroying California

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Mark Tapscot echoes our current theme here on the blog by reporting that California is once again in a disastrous budget shortfall and one of the biggest reason that this is so is the undue power of the recalcitrant public employees unions. Tapscot says that California cannot get out of its mess because, “the unions […]

CST: Senate Will Attempt To Pass Cap And Tax This Coming Week

Posted on February 21, 2010 by William Teach

Collapsing Science Today: Yes, you did read that headline correctly. And, yes, it was less than a month ago when Obama stood up in front of Congress and the American People and state uncatagorically that the economy and jobs were the top priorities for the government to focus on. A pledge that less time than […]

Kaus: Unions Are Crippling Obama

Posted on February 20, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Lefty website Slate.com’s Mickey Kaus is another one of those left of center folks that are realizing that unions are killing Obama. Of course, I’d go one farther and say that unions are killing America, but Kaus is only worried about helping Obama. Regardless, he’s right that unions are a dangerous impediment. Kaus finds that […]

DOJ Clears Bush Lawyers On Torture, Left Apoplectic

Posted on February 20, 2010 by William Teach

I was going to use the CNN article I ran across last night, based on the Friday night doc dump, but, hey, let’s go with the Washington Post one linked through Memeorandum, since there are plenty of links to lefties in their typical unhinged modes (there is also a NY Times and NPR article cited) […]

Longtime Dem Consultant Torpedoed by Union Thugs

Posted on February 19, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

In Democrat political consulting circles Pat Caddell is a big name. One-time adviser to President Jimmy Carter and longtime political strategist for the left, Caddell isn’t someone you throw off a campaign easily. But the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) doesn’t care about past success. It only cares about its power. After being thrown off […]

Obama’s New Name For Iraq War

Posted on February 19, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

The indispensible Jake Tapper of ABC News is reporting that the Obama Administration is about to rename the Iraq war from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn.” Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission — the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops — the US […]

Global Warming Belief Really IS A Religion: Now With Miracles!

Posted on February 19, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

The Environmental (mental being the operative word) Left, in their embracing of the hoax commonly known as Global Warming â„¢, have irrefutably become what they always sneer at: Religious. Or, as they prefer to call it “magical belief systems”. Because, if the following isn’t magic, then I don’t know what is. Gateway Pundit reminds us […]

Photojournalist Mad at RightWeb’s Use of His Photo

Posted on February 18, 2010February 18, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

A photojournalist from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida is very upset at you people. He wants you all to know that you should be ashamed of yourselves for misusing his photo. Ed Fountain is the photog that took the famous picture that the right-o-sphere guffawed at a few weeks ago showing President Obama strangely […]

Union Admits Buying Politician, Wants $ Back

Posted on February 18, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

When an average citizen donates money to a politician it is usually because that citizen believes in the politician and wants to help him have the war chest to conduct a campaign. Unions like to pretend that they donate to politicians out of the goodness of their hearts, just like common citizens do. Everyone knows, […]

Happy Anniversary, Stimulus Package! Boondoggle: Great NRSC Ad

Posted on February 17, 2010February 17, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

This is an excellent ad by the Senate Republicans, released to coincide with the one year anniversary of the boondoggle known as the stimulus package. You know, the one that has served to create or save nothing but debt and further unemployment. This ad needs to run everywhere, and often.: In fact, it needs to […]

Sheriff Joe: All Those Stimulus Jobs Are For The Second Half

Posted on February 17, 2010February 17, 2010 by William Teach

Remember all the talk about the Stimulus being about shovel ready jobs? Remember how this legislation was just so danged important that no one would be allowed to take the time to read it, it had to be voted on right now or OMG WE’RE DOOMED? Of course, Barry waited 5 days to sign it. […]

Governor Paterson’s Right-Hand Man Is Abusive Ex-Con

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Dave Blount

Chairman Zero isn’t the only of our moonbat rulers to surround himself with highly questionable characters. Not even the New York Times seems to like the smell emanating from Governor David Paterson’s right-hand man: David W. Johnson has worked for Gov. David A. Paterson for much of his adult life. He began as a young, […]

Liz Cheney: Biden Has Famously Tenuous Relationship With Reality

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

I had the great privilege of meeting Liz Cheney and hearing her speak at the Red State convention in Atlanta this past August. She’s surprisingly tiny, but, in that small package, is an incredible mind and a hell of a backbone. I adore her and am so glad to see she is becoming an increasingly […]

Stimulus Wednesday: Where’s The Money (Not) Going?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by William Teach

The Generational Theft Act has been on the books for over a year at this point, and Sheriff Joe and other Obama peeps will travel around the country pushing their unbelievable unpopular Stimulus plan. Just how unpopular? A CBS News/New York Times poll from last week found that just six percent of Americans think the […]
