And that’s because — and I hate repeating myself, but it needs to be done — these are big government technocrats who hold the American people in the same disdain as do the progressive Democrats. They are part of a self-appointed ruling elite, and they know how best to run DC and your lives. Of course, that’s going to involve a bit of a sacrifice on the part of the
SHOCKER: The legion of Roveans already out in full force to insure GOP can’t put up a united front
October government shutdown fundraiser [sticky; new posts below; THURSDAY UPDATE; FINAL UPDATE]
This one is simple: want to put a halt to ObamaCare? Donate generously to me. Because while I have no direct influence on how and when the GOP establishment figures out a way to surrender, I can assure you that I will have had nothing to do with it. And in this day and age — when other Republicans are already tripping over themselves to undermine an attempt to weaken
The reckless, incoherent strategy of a government shut down, day 1
Got up this morning to take my oldest to school and, because I indulged in a number of rum drinks last night, couldn’t find my car keys anywhere. And when, in a bit of a panic, I’ll admit, I dialed up Senator Udall’s office, some little punk of a staffer who answered his phone — when pressed to tell me where I’d left the stupid things (and yes, I explained
It’s October 1st! Is your ObamaCare working? [Darleen Click]
Apparently, as expected. Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp says he faced a lot of problems when he tried to sign up for an Obamacare exchange early Tuesday morning. According to Huelskamp’s office, the Kansas Republican attempted to sign up at midnight on Tuesday, the day the exchanges open. “We have been warned time and time again that ObamaCare is not ready for prime time. Well, it turns out that is
“Senate rejects House government spending resolution that defunds Obamacare”
That headline from the Washington Examiner. Which I offer isn’t a good start in helping us win the battle to save our liberty via our own health care choices. If we’re going to do this, we need to start producing better headlines — not just because they are more helpful in making our case (though that plays a role), but rather because they’ll more accurately depict what is happening. For
“Senate to Take Up House-Passed Funding Bill as Deadline Approaches”
CSPAN: The House voted early Sunday morning to pass two amendments to the continuing resolution and an additional bill that would continue to pay for military personnel in the event of a government shut down. The separate military pay bill passed 423-0. The two amendments are a one-year delay in the implementation of the health care bill, which passed 231-192, and a full repeal of the medical device tax, which
Surviving a government shutdown: an Idiot’s Guide
1. Make sure you’re stocked up on your own supply of red tape. And yes, Big Office Store will try to price gauge you. But you can pay them back later by puncturing holes in all their printer cartridge inventory when the clerk is off helping someone decide which fax machine to buy. 2. Try not to exhale so much. Without the constant vigilance of the EPA, any government shutdown
“Defying Senate, House Votes to Delay Obamacare”
How dare they defy the Senate! Elections have consequences! I know this because John McCain, borrowing from Barack Obama, told me so! RCP: The Republican-led House of Representatives voted early Sunday morning to fund the government through mid-December but delay the Affordable Care Act for a year — a defiant bid that the Senate’s Democratic leader vowed to reject, thereby increasing the chances of a shutdown on Sept. 30. The
I wonder if delusional, insulated “libertarian” meth head Bill Maher is down with this, too:
“Forceful mayor’s drastic plan to stop foreclosures”: Gayle McLaughlin looks and sounds like the former school teacher and data entry worker she was — down to her sensible brown walking shoes. What the 5-foot-4-inch mayor of this working-class San Francisco Bay Area city does not resemble is the ready-to-march, dogged corporate thorn she is. Her latest opponent? Wall Street. McLaughlin, a member of the leftist Green Party, is leading a
Taqiyya two aspirin and call me in the morning
Historic! Obama and the Iranian President spoke and even Tweeted! — the first time the leaders of those two terrorist countries (Iran supports Hezbollah, etc., while the US harbors the TEA Party terrorists) have spoken since radical Islamists stormed the US embassy and took hostages, whom the trotted out as props as a thumb to the eye of our last progressive President, Jimmy Carter! But here we are, enjoying a
