One of the talking points we keep hearing from Democrat talking heads and other sheeple is that Obama was overwhelmingly elected along with a mandate to completely change the health system. Of course, he only beat McCain 53% to 46%. So, does this Rasmussen poll mean there is even more of a mandate to NOT […]

One thing I have been saying and writing for a long is that no one is actually saying exactly HOW any of the Democrat plans, particularly Obama’s, will reduce health costs.

Or is that “nemisi?” Regardless, let’s see how the Republicans and Democrats will handle the health destruction debate during the August recess. I’ll skip through the New York Times article to see what the GOP will do first, and then I’ll highlight the Democrat strategy. You tell me which one will have the most problems, […]

I wonder what could have caused this? (h/t Dr. Melissa Clouthier) Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.

Apparently, it is shovel ready, but, not for the bridges that actually need repair (why does “shovel ready” bring a farm like conotation to mind?) Tens of thousands of unsafe or decaying bridges carrying 100 million drivers a day must wait for repairs because states are spending stimulus money on spans that are already in […]
