Paul Ryan: Obamanomics Has Failed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Congressman Paul Ryan (R, Wis) and former Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Holtz-Eakin came together early this week to lambaste Obama’s failed economic policies. In a conference call to supporters and the press, CBO Director Holtz-Eakin said that there is “no evidence” that “the stimulus has really worked” and that Obama’s Keynesian fixes simply won’t […]

 

BREAKING: Murkowski Concedes in Alaska

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Another one of Mitch McConnell’s favorites just went down in flames as Senator Lisa Murkowski just bowed to Alaska’s new GOP candidate for Senate, Joe Miller. Miller is far more conservative than Murkowski who was vying for the Ted Stevens award for pork. As the New York Times says… Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment […]

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Do you find it galling that after all this time being called “radical, violent, right-wing extremists”, we now have multiple examples in one day of psychotic liberals going cuckoo? Yeah, so Russ Carnahan’s office was burned. Tea Partier? Nope! TPM blogger and Carnahan staffer. The Department of Homeland Security, you know, the dudes are taking […]

 

Rep. Melissa Bean’s Jackbooted… Librarians?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week a shocking video of a townhall of sorts held by Chicago, Illinois area Congressman Melissa Bean (D, 8th District) was released that seemed to show that she’d hired a couple of thugs to intimidate attendees from asking her questions that she didn’t want to answer. The video kicked up a bit of controversy […]

 

Congress Secretly Behind Massive Egg Recall

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The news is everywhere of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recall of millions of eggs from several Midwestern farms allegedly due to fears of a salmonella outbreak but the real story is undergoing a massive coverup. The truth is that Congressional Democrats are behind this recall. In a secret document discovered by famed blogger […]

 

New Silicon Graffiti Video: The Quotable Harry Reid

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Over the past two centuries, the Democratic Party has had many powerful orators. Needless to say, Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader since November of 2006, has failed to live up to this proud heritage on a titanic scale. Which is why, from The Home Office in Carson City, Nevada, we’re proud to present, The Top Ten Harry Reid gaffes!

 

Now Democrats Want Another $34 Billion to Bailout Teamsters Pension

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When will Obama’s gifts to unions (at the expense of the taxpayers) ever end? On the heels of a $26.1 billion teacher union bailout, now Democrats are attempting to get Congress to give $34 billion of the taxpayer’s money to the Teamsters because that union has mishandled its pension funds. Senators Robert Casey (D., Pa.) […]

 

Video: Those (Liberal) Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest of Us

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Republican Study Committee has unveiled a great ad contrasting what Republicans believe and what Democrats believe. Juxtaposing one of Reagan’s great speeches with the words of the Democrats of today, the ad shows how Republicans venerate freedom while Democrats venerate their own power and an ability to command and control all of us. As […]

 

Dear Congressman Etheridge

Posted on by Renee Ellmers

Yesterday I sent the following letter to the office of my opponent, Congressman Bob Etheridge: Dear Congressman Etheridge, Last week, you mailed (and emailed) letters and newsletters from your Congressional office to voters across the district. In every way these mailings resembled typical campaign ads, except they were paid for by taxpayers and not by […]

 

‘Tax Extenders’ Bill: Another Democrat Bailout of Special Interests

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The so-called “tax extenders” bill that was initially part of the unemployment package that Congress passed last month is still on the table. It was separated from the unemployment bill because the GOP opposed its inclusion and for good reason. It is little else but a sop to special interests and big corporations. The Democrats […]

 

Sanctioning Infanticide As an Ends Justifying The Means

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Originally posted at NewsReal: Barbara Boxer was recently up in arms over some words. No,:  this time it wasn’t the oh-so horrifying word ma’am. She was up in arms over her own words or, more to the point, the fact that George Will was holding her to her own words — words that expressed a […]

 

AFL-CIO Chief Pleading for Union Support of Dems in Nov.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The AFL-CIO plans to spend another $50 million coming to the aid of Democrats during this campaign season for the 2010 midterms. But all is not well in uniondom as many unions are very, very unhappy with various and sundry Democrat candidates across the country. Still, AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka has issued a call to […]

 

Some Americans Can Only Dream of Owning a Boat Worth One-Tenth the Massachusetts Tax Bill on John Kerry’s New Yacht

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

JammieWearingFool helps us get at the most telling aspect of the John Kerry boat-berthing/tax-dodging story: The fallout continues for the laughingstock: John Kerry and his woes over the good ship SS 1040. Or maybe to use his own words we should call it the Botched Joke. Ironically by running to his favorite newspaper to try and […]

 

Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Epitome of Most Ethical Congress Ever! Plus, Racism!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

My latest post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal: By most ethical Congress ever, I of course mean the total opposite. Much like the claims of the most transparent administration ever — in Obama-era Newspeak terms, you must just assume the opposite to be true. Charlie Rangel, after having been forced, kicking and screaming, to step down […]

 

Obama Forces Doctors to Snitch to Feds on Patient’s Weight

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

New federal regulations issued by Obama’s administration will require doctors to record their patient’s body mass index (BMI) ratio. No longer will your weight problems be a matter between you and your doctor. Thanks to Obama, now your doctor will be required by law to snitch to the feds on how fat you are. Like […]

 

Unions Holding Up Cash for the Troops

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week the Washington Times had a story that should enrage every true American. The Democrat Congress is allowing Big Labor’s needs to come before the needs of our troops. The supplemental budget that Congress is considering is supposed to be about funding the troops and their efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Democrats are […]

 

Financial Reform? More Like Union Giveaways!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Thursday the Senate passed the Democrat’s financial reform bill. But even as Obama claims that this bill will “solve” the financial crisis, a look at the thing seems to prove that things financial took a back seat to giveaways to Obama’s union pals and sops to many of the Democrat’s other special interest friends. […]

 

New Dem Idea: Can’t Win on Immigration? Then Stick Gay Issues in The Bill, Too!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s Representative Luis Gutierrez has been finding few takers for his pro-illegal immigrant policies of late. But he and several Democrat lawmakers think they’ve found a way to increase support for their pro-illegal alien bill: add gay issues to it. Once again it’s an Orwellian named bill, too. The pro-illegal alien supporters are calling this […]

Another Sign of Unions Losing Allies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Again the New York Times reports on the confusion, anger, and loss of influence being experienced by shocked unions, this time teachers unions.

Well, we just celebrated Independence Day, a day we rejoiced at the things we love about America. But, let’s face it, there are things going on in America today NOT to love. Here is a video to point out those things we are all “tired of.” Forgive me if I posted this here before. I […]

 

Democrats Need to Explain Themselves on Jobs, Stimulus, and Unemployment (without Blame Shifting)

Posted on by SusanAnne Hiller

Original post at 73wire.com The Hill: reports: that President Obama, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats have gone back into economic crisis mode: Obama urged congressional leaders in mid-June to pass an extension of tax breaks and unemployment benefits, and up to $50 billion in aid for states and local governments. Without Congress acting, Obama […]
