Last week we saw the not very surprising news that insurance companies will have to raise rates to pay for Obamacare mandates when it was reported that Connecticut insurers had received approval to raise rates over 20% just to cover the cost of eliminating life-time coverage limits. This news was accompanied by warnings that the [...]
Dick Morris is keeping tabs on some key House races and giving periodic updates, including identifying those races that need your help the most. Dear Friend, I am closely monitoring thirty five House races and want to send you updates every week or so on the ones that most need your help. The most recent [...]
It’s not surprising that the liberal, main stream media continues to bash conservative, Tea Party candidates, because those candidates are in complete opposition to the liberal agenda pushed by major media outlets. However, what remains somewhat surprising is why the Republican establishment has not only failed to embrace this new Republican blood, but at times [...]
There is a lot of talk about how many seats the Republicans will pick up in the House and Senate. Some state that the GOP will take control of one or both Houses of Congress, while others claim there will be gains by the Republicans, but far less than enough to take control of either [...]
It will be a long time before anyone will forget Speaker of the House Pelosi proudly proclaiming that the health care bill Obamacare had to be passed in order to know what the bill contained — “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Foolishly, most Americans [...]
Some would say that Obama could be convicted of murdering the Pope and embezzling a trillion dollars of tax payer money, and a Washington Post/ABC poll would likely find great support for President Obama. So, when a WaPo/ABC poll shows support for Obama and Democrats tanking, it’s big news. Ed Morrissey of Hot Air breaks [...]
Using the words socialism and President Obama in the same sentence has become so overused at this point, that many immediately discount it as more right-wing rhetoric. However, in this case it might pay to take a look at where Morris goes with this. After Republicans made news several weeks ago by filibustering a vote [...]
Like with his father, Ron Paul, it’s easy to often find yourself saying “did he really just say that” when listening to Rand Paul speak. Last year, fellow Libertarian Ron Paul was taped talking about how the CIA runs the military, the federal reserve, pretty much the whole country. He’s been an outspoken proponent of [...]
Not surprisingly, the Democrats vision for America isn’t in line with the majority of voters. While all indications are that President Obama and Democratic Congressional leaders continue to move forward with their plans for an across the board tax increase, most American feel they are already overtaxed. Rasmussen also found that both a national sales [...]
Ok, let’s first say that even Silver says this a low percentage possibility, but based on the Rasmussen generic ballot 79 seats could be the number the Republicans pick up. Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight breaks it down: If the House popular vote were exactly tied, we’d expect the Democrats to lose “only” 30 seats on [...]
Once again, it’s hard to find a word to describe a Democratic explanation of wrong doing beyond simply saying, “wow!!!”. Greta Van Susteran had a great interview with Harry Reid. During the interview, Greta talks about the Scott Brown victory. Sticking to the Democratic talking points, Reid threw Coakley under the bus, making a quip [...]
It won’t come as a shock to too many people, but Pelosi and company, along with the Obama administration approving grant requests, are funneling money into Democratic districts and over twice the rate of the Republican districts. From the National Review Online, comes details of this latest abuse of power by the Democrats: Second: On [...]
In a minor, and mostly symbolic victory, Republicans found a problem with the language of the House reconciliation bill that Senate Democrats have been trying to pass over the past 36 hours. The Republicans found a provision that guaranteed Pell grants into the future without providing funding for them, leaving that to a future Congress. [...]
President Obama and the far left have been reinvigorated with the passing of Obamacare. While only a few weeks ago it seemed that Obama’s far left agenda had been stalemated and unlikely to have any real chance of being pushed through Congress, many believe that has now changed. As Nancy Pelosi so famously said, “we [...]
Yesterday, we reported how the Republicans thought they had a way to get the entire reconciliation bill tossed. Their plan was to argue that the following statement by Steny Hoyer indicated that the Reconciliation bill violated the Congressional Budget Act Of 1974, which states that any bill that contains “recommendations with respect to” Social Security, [...]
It has been clear from almost the beginning of the Obama Presidency that President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid saw the election of President Obama as a far-left mandate. They took that mandate and ran with it, completely blocking out Republican involvement from the early weeks of the Obama Presidency. President Obama set the [...]
There is a lot of skepticism about this. In essence, it seems that reconciliation cannot be used to impact social security in any way. However, in the reconciliation bill the House Democrats state that they will raise additional revenues for social security. Presumably, this was added as one of the many ‘marketing’ clauses in the [...]
Bart Stupak and his bloc have switched from no votes to yes votes on Obamacare. Stupak claims that the Executive Order that President Obama will issue following the health care bills being enacted into law will counter the Senate Bill’s public funding of abortion. Stupak claims that this executive order will address all concerns about [...]
First, I want to say that Bart Stupak (D-MI) had earned my respect for the way he has handled himself. Apparently until today, he has stuck to his guns and principles, refusing to vote for the Senate bill, which clearly provides for the public funding of abortion. Back in December, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius explained [...]
The vote on Obamacare is less than 24 hours away. Or is it? This morning most reports indicated that Pelosi had her 216 votes, which is why the Democrats decided not to use their controversial deem-and-pass strategy. As the day progressed, reports began to surface that Pelosi might still be short and that President Obama [...]
