Authority: 135
Last week I received word from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University of a study they did, and the results don’t surprise me.

Slamming it down our throat

Authority: 135
Apparently the die is cast in the Senate, and it appears by Christmas they’ll pass a health care bill that no sane person wants. (Obviously my friends over at Progressive Delmarva are probably jumping for joy.) But how are they getting it passed? Good old pork and special interest politics. If the 2,074 page ...2 days ago -

A tale of two meetings
monoblogue —
Authority: 135
It’s funny how things sometimes work out. I’ll leave it to you to decide which is grassroots and which is Astroturf, beginning with the Americans for Prosperity group. Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) have called for an emergency rally at the United States Capitol on Tuesday, December 15th ...1 week ago -

Leave it to Democrats to play on emotion. In part, this is the latest missive I got from Organizing Against America. My name is Suzanne. I’m a legal secretary and an OFA volunteer here in New Mexico, and this is a bittersweet holiday season for me. While I have some good news to share with my family and friends, ...1 week ago -
Jobs for the taking – but who wants them?
monoblogue —
Authority: 135
For a long time, I’ve contended that one piece of solving the puzzle of energy independence is getting to our own supply of oil and natural gas – supplies we have but are locked away by federal regulations. An ancilliary benefit of domestic oil and natural gas exploration is the creation of thousands of new jobs. ...2 weeks ago -
No benefits for illegals? Not so fast…
monoblogue —
Authority: 135
The health care bill being debated in the Senate joins the one in the House as including benefits for illegal aliens, despite the assurances of Congressional Democrats that this isn’t so.

Dying to pass a new tax
monoblogue —
Authority: 135
Yep, leave it to House Democrats – they must figure there’s no rest for the weary, so no tax relief for the dying. Yesterday, the House voted 225-200 ( with 26 Democrats joining the GOP ) to shelve the one-year moratorium on the 45% estate tax currently in place, which was enacted as part of President Bush’s ...2 weeks ago -

Well, that was a fun 40 minutes. Earlier this moring I listened to a conference call with Maryland’s Senator Ben Cardin promoted by the folks at Organizing Against America.

So a lot of people are writing off the remainder of 2009 as a lost cause and looking forward to 2010. Newt Gingrich didn’t ...4 weeks ago -
