"Choice."
“[O]ne source close to the organization’s leadership says a shake-up may be inevitable now that the organization has changed direction. “‘Somebody besides Nancy Brinker is going to pay for it,’ the source said. “The likely target is Vice President Karen Handel, who called for defunding Planned Parenthood during an unsuccessful run for governor of Georgia… [...]
Wait -- what?
When the administration announced earlier this month that it would stick to its decision to require religiously-affiliated employers to provide their employees with insurance that covers contraception, the national Catholic reaction was, to put it mildly, less than supportive. All across the country, Catholic bishops wrote and read letters to their flocks that read, “We [...]
"Mr. West is ... not representative of the African-American community or of the Republican Party."
Via Mediaite, does Moran mean West isn’t representative of blacks generally or that he wasn’t representative of them specifically when he said Obama, Pelosi, and Reid should “get the hell out of the United States of America”? He’s on the right network and the right show for cheap racial demagoguery aimed at a minority conservative, [...]
"Very strange fantasies and very strange understandings of reality."
Does Nancy Pelosi have the goods on Newt Gingrich? So far, Gingrich doesn’t appear too concerned. When asked by NBC about Pelosi’s warning from last night, Gingrich laughs out loud and advises Pelosi to wake up from her “very strange fantasies” and “spit it out” (via Greg Hengler and Taegan Goddard): She lives in a [...]
Hmmmmm.
Via Greg Hengler. You make the call: An ominous warning that John Sununu was right to fear an “October surprise” if Newt is the nominee or a brilliant bit of bluffing aimed at spooking conservatives into nominating a cold fish like Romney instead of Gingrich? If you’re a Mitt fan, the answer is clear — [...]
Hmmmm.
Via Fox Nation, is this Pelosi seizing an opportunity to inch away from a fading “Occupy” movement or simply taking care not to offend the screeching “99 percent” by purporting to speak for them? She’s correct on the merits: For all the slobbering over OWS in lefty media, Democratic leaders haven’t embraced the brand yet [...]
"We’re glad that the president took the lead, went out there, was bold and made the appointments."
Some said she’d never top her infamous reply when asked to explain the constitutional basis for ObamaCare’s mandate, but you know Nancy — always striving to improve. Notice here that she doesn’t try to defend Obama’s move on legal grounds. She could have, as that’s what the follow-up question is looking for, but all she’s [...]
Disclosure.
Last week, Nancy Pelosi insisted that extending unemployment benefits would, er, save or create 600,000 jobs, and insisted that experts in macroeconomics told her so. Who are the economic experts that advise Pelosi? According to Roll Call, Pelosi hauled a few of them up to Capitol Hill to support her economic policy, but didn’t disclose [...]
Compared to ObamaCare, that's a bargain!
Via CNS News and our friend and Townhall colleague Greg Hengler, Nancy Pelosi lectured America on macroeconomics yesterday by insisting that an extension of unemployment benefits would “make a difference of 600,000 jobs to our economy.” Greg recalled a similar claim from Pelosi about ObamaCare, and adds it to the end of Pelosi’s claim from [...]
But what about Mitt's record?
I guess Mitt Romney isn’t going to agree to Newt Gingrich’s proposal for an entirely positive primary campaign. Gingrich has already called this moment “one of the single dumbest things I’ve done in years, but that hasn’t entirely defused the issue of his appearance in a TV spot with Nancy Pelosi on the need for [...]
Disappointing, but not surprising.
Looks like Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton also wants to do for childcare what the Obama-Reid-Pelosi machine did for healthcare — i.e. make it less flexible and more expensive. Dayton is operating on a state level, at least, but that’s the last excuse I’ll make for him. The governor recently issued an executive order that calls [...]
Oof.
So proud was she of this gag that someone on her staff tweeted it out this morning to double the fun. It makes me cringe — not because the joke is lame but because it’s sad to think Perry has been reduced to such desperate straits that he’s now trying to bait the right’s hate [...]
Try to please everybody, end up pleasing nobody.
Leaders on both sides of the aisle have begrudgingly praised the Budget Control Act of 2011, and newspapers this morning hailed it as the deal to prevent default, but the bill isn’t quite “done and done.” Supposedly, Speaker John Boehner hopes the House will vote first on the deal as a special “Message to the [...]
This Washington Post headline yesterday is all you need to know about how corrupt the process has become to pass ObamaCare by any means necessary this week: “House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it.”
Huh? You read that correctly. Because Speaker Pelosi cannot find enough votes to pass the deeply unpopular ObamaCare bill in a constitutional way, she is hoping you and other Americans won’t notice, or won’t care, whether she passes ObamaCare in an unconstitutional and blatantly corrupt way.
Her latest plan is called the “Slaughter Rule”, which would allow the House to vote on a different bill and “deem” the Senate’s ObamaCare bill as being “passed” at the same time as the other bill is passed, without having an actual up and down vote on the ObamaCare bill.
Said Pelosi in an interview: “It’s more insider and process-oriented than most people want to know….but I like it, because people don’t have to vote on the Senate bill.”
Pelosi may like “deeming” laws passed, but passing laws without voting on them is blatantly unconstitutional. As former federal judge Michael McConnell wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “It may be clever, but it is not constitutional. To become law…the Senate health-care bill must actually be signed into law. The Constitution speaks directly to how that is done. According to Article I, Section 7, in order for a “Bill” to “become a Law,” it “shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate” and be “presented to the President of the United States” for signature or veto. Unless a bill actually has “passed” both Houses, it cannot be presented to the president and cannot become a law.”
Speaker Pelosi and President Obama are counting on you, your friends, and your family not to notice or care that they are doing this. That’s why together, we must get the truth out and tell everyone that we know about what they are trying to do.
This is just one more example of the bribery and corruption that has been used to try and pass ObamaCare, like the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase. If they are willing to corrupt our constitutional system right before our eyes to pass Obamacare, why should we have any confidence that they won’t corrupt your healthcare when nobody is paying attention?
