    Again, I am hoping that Dick Morris will forgive my re-posting of his entire article, because I believe he will agree that the most important goal right now is getting the word out.  Morris says Pelosi and Obama are still short of the 216 House Democrats they need to pass Obamacare: From a top...

    by  • March 19, 2010 • All Whoppers, Congress, Featured Articles, General, Health Care, Newly Added Stories, Pelosi Whoppers • 1 Comment

    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...

    Class warfare was not only a big part of the Obama campaign, but has also been how the Democrats have been trying to sell Obamacare.  Obama said during the campaign, it’s patriotic to tax the rich, and redistribute their wealth to others. He promised that no families making less than $250,000 would receive a...

    by  • March 18, 2010 • All Whoppers, Featured Articles, General, Newly Added Stories, White House • 1 Comment

    It’s difficult to use the word lie and President of the United States in the same sentence, but it is also very hard to justify some of the statements that the President has been making in his bid to sell his Obamacare bill to the American public. In his interview with Bret Baier, the...

    Obama’s CBO lie – Obama, Pelosi and Reid guilty of blatant manipulation of the CBO score to get ‘their’ number

    by  • March 18, 2010 • All Whoppers, Congress, Featured Articles, General, Health Care, Newly Added Stories, Pelosi Whoppers • 1 Comment

    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...

    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.

    Contrary to the rosy images that President Obama has staged with doctors in white lab coats surrounding the Presidential Teleprompter, and the lies he has told about having the support of the medical profession, nearly one third of US doctors are preparing to leave their medical practices if Obamacare passes.

    You know things are getting bad for Pelosi when you hear she is beyond sleazy when watching CNN.  What’s next? Olbermann admitting to his man-crush on George Bush.

    by  • March 16, 2010 • All Whoppers, Congress, Featured Articles, General, Health Care, Newly Added Stories • 0 Comments

    In an interview with Greta van Susteren yesterday, Bart Stupak (D-MI) said “they need 216. I’d be surprised if they have 200,” when asked if Pelosi had enough votes to pass the Senate health care bill. While Stupak’s primary concern is the Senate bill’s public funding of abortion, that isn’t his only concern.  He...

    Is Obama Shameless? The President continues to misstate facts in order to promote Obamacare

    by  • March 16, 2010 • All Whoppers, Featured Articles, General, Health Care, Newly Added Stories, White House • 0 Comments

    Considering President Obama doesn’t leave the White House residence without a teleprompter and a script, it’s hard to believe these are simple misstatements of fact that were made in the heat of the moment. Last week, during one of President Obama’s Obamacare pep rallies, he claimed that his bill would save money and reduce...

    by  • March 12, 2010 • All Whoppers, Featured Articles, General, Health Care, Newly Added Stories • 0 Comments

    Assuming Bart Stupak (D-MI) hasn’t gone off the deep end and is now making things up, these statements are beyond shocking.  No longer is Democratic support of abortion, and specifically public funding of abortion, about a woman’s right to choose, but instead it is now about cost control.  Stupak states that he has been...

    Video: Senator Byrd blocked Clinton’s attempt to use reconciliation to pass Hillarycare

    by  • March 12, 2010 • All Whoppers, Congress, Featured Articles, General, Newly Added Stories • 0 Comments

    This video speaks for itself, so it doesn’t require much introduction.   The biggest thing you will see, beside Senator Byrd clearly stating reconciliation should not be used for passing health care reform, is that he also states how legislation that effects every man, woman and child in the United States should be debated and...

    On Friday, President Obama officially invited Republicans to his February 25th health-care summit: The invitations have gone out to leadership in both parties to attend Barack Obama’s ostensibly bipartisan summit on health care.  Is this the event of the social season, a political debate, or Kabuki theater?  Depending on who answers, it seems that...

    by  • January 27, 2010 • All Whoppers, Congress, Featured Articles, General, Newly Added Stories • 0 Comments

    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...

    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...
