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 to [...]
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 eliminating [...]
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 tax [...]
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 average, [...]
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 [...]
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 average, Democratic [...]
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. As [...]
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 will [...]
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, will [...]
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 tone [...]
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 bill, [...]
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 public [...]
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 that [...]
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 was [...]
The reports are that Nancy Pelosi has decided not to use deem-and-pass, also being referred to as the Slaughter rule, in order to coax reluctant Democrats into voting for the wildly unpopular Obamacare.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air lays out a couple reasons that Pelosi may have dumped the deem-and-pass strategy:
So what does this mean? Hard [...]
As reported by Ed Morrissey of Hot Air and Christ Frates of Politico, a memo was sent from Democratic leadership to staffers on the Hill. The memo tells them what to say and what not to say.
For instance, they are instructed not to use the total of 23 million people that will still be [...]
Yesterday I wrote about Obama’s CBO lie. That was posted shortly before the CBO score was released on the House’s reconciliation bill.
In that article, I outlined two major manipulations that President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been utilizing to force the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to score the bill as costing less than [...]
The gang of three (Obama, Pelosi and Reid) are guilty of what is tantamount to lying to the American public. They have crafted and re-crafted their health care bills, until they get CBO (Congressional Budget Office) scores that they can ’sell’ as reducing the deficit over the next 10 years.
Two of the most blatant examples [...]
Kenneth Cuccinelli, the Republican Attorney General for Virginia, has sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi warning her not to use deem-and-pass as an attempt to shield her members from having their votes recorded in favor of passing the Senate health care bill.
Cuccinelli warned Pelosi that her parliamentary trick might be unconstitutional, laying the groundwork for [...]
Once again, one of the Democrat’s false Obamacare claims is being. fact checked. Nancy Pelosi claimed that passing Obamacare would immediately create 400,000 jobs, which was based on a report by a left-wing advocacy group.
Hot Air has an exclusive first look at a new study that uses the same accounting method that Pelosi’s left-wing group [...]
