Initial polling positive in quest to remove Reid
I can scarcely think of any better news come November than to learn that Harry Reid is no longer a U.S. Senator. Initial polling by Rasmussen from Nevada in encouraging….
So then I guess that would make you…
Perhaps in response to the recently disclosed data which shows 2/3 of all campaign cash donated by Wall Street* went to Democrats, dunderpate emeritus Harry Reid today opined that Republicans…
Half the country pays no taxes, yet they think they are overtaxed
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 [...]
And the Oscar goes to Harry Reid – Reid claims that he only made deal with Ben Nelson because he knew all states would get it
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 [...]
Delaying the inevitable – GOP finds improper reconciliation language to force bill back to house
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 [...]
Liberal Dems have just gotten started? With the taste of victory, what will Obama push through next?
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 [...]
Dick Morris: Passing Obamacare was a suicide pact among Dems
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 [...]
Pelosi lie exposed – real cost of Obamacare is $2 trillion over first 10 years
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 [...]
Obama’s CBO lie – Obama, Pelosi and Reid guilty of blatant manipulation of the CBO score to get ‘their’ number
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 [...]
Harry Reid’s wife and daughter injured in car crash
Here’s hoping for God’s healing presence and a full recovery:Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s wife remained hospitalized Friday with serious injuries suffered when a tractor-trailer rear-ended the minivan she and…
Wow, Obama and company spend US to record $221 billion deficit in February
The AP reports on Obama’s record monthly deficit:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government ran up the largest monthly deficit in history in February, keeping the flood of red ink on track to top last year’s record for the full year.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the [...]
How do you spell “tone-deaf?”

H-A-R-R-Y-R-E-I-D. “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”
Dems off base on attacks of Republicans who took stimulus money
While it isn’t a new form of attack, it’s clearly made it to the top of the Democratic talking-points list that members of Congress and Democratic strategists use during their interviews, as the tactic is being used more and more of late. The strategy is to call Republicans whose districts received stimulus money hypocrites for [...]
Union fail — Rhode Island teachers refuse to work an extra 25 minutes, so instead lost their $80k a year jobs
Here is an example of the end result of what President Obama and his buddy Andy Stern of SEIU are trying to push on America:
A school superintendent in Rhode Island is trying to fix an abysmally bad school system.
Her plan calls for teachers at a local high school to work 25 minutes longer per day, [...]
Obama says read my lips — it’s ok if Congress raises middle class taxes
America heard the pledge over and over. They heard it via Barack Obama’s twitter and email blasts. They heard it in the Town Hall meetings during the campaign. They heard it during the Presidential debates. They heard him telling Joe the plumber.
President Obama ran on the promise that he would not raise taxes on any [...]
A jobs bill that doesn’t create jobs?
When the Associated Press points out that Reid and Obama’s new stimulus bill jobs bill is unlikely to create many jobs, you know it must be bad.
The Senate proposal, which is more narrow than the one analyzed by CBO, is estimated to cost about $10 billion. That would add 80,000 to 180,000 jobs over [...]
Stimulus II – aka The Jobs Bill — Once again Dems schedule congressional vote before even introducing the bill
In what is becoming business as usual for Reid and Pelosi, Democratic leadership has stated that they will schedule an initial vote for the Second Stimulus Bill Jobs Bill on Monday. In order to accomplish this, Reid will move to cut off debate on the bill, which has yet to be produced, on Friday or [...]
GOP to Dems: If you go the reconciliation route, be prepared for a flood of amendments to slow things to a crawl
In a nutshell, what the gang of three (Pelosi, Reid and Obama) have been working on behind closed doors is an attempt to pass their wildly unpopular health care bill using a Senate procedure that was designed to prevent budget resolutions from being filibustered.
In an extreme misuse of the reconciliation process, the Democrats are planning [...]
Come on Blanche, you were for it before you were against it
What a surprise. Now that Harry Reid can’t get 60 votes for health care and plans to use reconciliation, Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) says she will ‘fight’ any attempts to pass health care using reconciliation. She claims that this is in part because Arkansans won’t accept it. However, she ignored the wishes of Arkansans when she [...]
