One of the jobs of the “Whip” position in Congress is to count votes so that the leadership has an understanding of what sort of support their legislative efforts have. These Whip counts are often made public knowledge (but not always) and The Hill has reported the latest counting of House Democrats [...]

There’s not much that union supporters and I can agree upon. But here is one incident where I can wholeheartedly support the aggrieved members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who have found themselves victims of their own union.
The SEIU wanted to renegotiate a contract with officials of Sonoma County, California [...]

Obama and The Donkeys is perhaps the worst band ever. Never have so many been so tone deaf. Lead singer Nancy Pelosi is pushing them over the edge, refusing to listen to her audience from poll after poll stating that they do not like her 1,900+ piece. Nor does she listen to any of the [...]

Apparently, Speaker Pelosi is getting a bit concerned that this healthcare fight is getting out of her control (do ya think?) and she wants to force a vote through this Saturday.
For his part, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) says, HR 3962 is a “freight train of runaway federal spending, bloated bureaucracy, mandates and [...]

Unshockingly, it isn’t a plan that will bankrupt the country
The Congressional Budget Office Wednesday night released its cost analysis of the Republican health care plan and found that it would reduce health care premiums and cut the deficit by $68 billion over ten years.

Two recent court rulings have resulted in the Moonbat Messiah “voluntarily” disclosing his White House visitor’s list. Stanley McCrystal — commander of our forsaken troops in Afghanistan — has met with Obamao twice. In stark contrast, Andy Stern — head of the ACORN-affiliated SEIU — has visited the White House 22 times, leading the list.

I’m Thinking Democrats Are Not Going To Like “V”
Posted on November 4, 2009 - Filed Under Barack Obama, Democrats, Healthcare, Hollywood, News, Obamanuts, movies | 5 Comments
So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula.
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for [...]

So says the Wall Street Journal
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told fellow Democrats that she’s prepared to lose seats in 2010 if that’s what it takes to pass ObamaCare, and little wonder. The health bill she unwrapped last Thursday, which President Obama hailed as a “critical milestone,” may well be the worst piece of post-New [...]

When Obama said that his stimulation package has created 1 million jobs, did he include Chinese jobs in the calculation?

After using 2009 as The Year We Exploded The Deficit, Democrats are getting a bit uneasy over their election prospects. First they had their Porkulus, then the Omnibus, the $3.5 trillion 2010 budget, and the coming massive health system overhaul and global warming tom-foolery. But, hey, they did manage to cut several defense initiatives (just [...]

Clayburn, the House Democratic Whip, said that this excise tax violated Obama’s pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.
