Captured Al-Qaeda operative was once a Democrat worker

Weasel Zippers "Campaign finance records show Mobley received $75 as an election day worker for Gov. Jon Corzine's campaign in 2005." The Democrat Party and America's enemies fit hand and glove. But I mean that in a nice way.

Endgame: House to begin final push for ObamaCare on Monday

Hot Air "Why move ahead when the votes aren’t there? Pelosi hopes that launching the process will create enough momentum to flip Democrats her way. The clock is ticking. The speaker has two weeks before Congress breaks for Easter Recess. And the recess could kill off health care reform, since many of the wavering Democrats will get an earful from their constituents when they return home. Republicans expect Democrats to lose votes over the break."

The Constitutional Case Against Progressives

BigGovernment "Herein lays the danger of the progressive statist utopia. It envisions a permanent government entity, exemplified in the bureaucracy. People may come and go, but the government will always remain. And our rights are beholden to that permanent entity. Americans recognize that government is only an extension of the individuals that comprise it, and thus ethereal. Bureaucracies are invasive upon the rights of the people. And unless the people are vigilant in protecting their rights, all governments will attempt to seize them."

It Has Begun… House Dems Hold Vote to Cut-&-Run from Afghanistan

Gateway Pundit "The House Dems voted yesterday to quit Afghanistan and leave it to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. 60 democrats voted for the resolution sponsored by Rep. Dennis Kusinich (D-OH). The legislation was defeated 356 to 65."

Heads Up Talk Radio: The President’s Foot Soldiers Have Your Number

BigGovernment "So, the campaign now is geared toward achieving the same result: flood different talk radio shows with left-wing activists and ObamaCare apologists. The OFA’s website has a talk radio du jour with a call-in number and “discussion points” – talking points for the latest version of the Democrats’ plan." Read their marching orders here.

Useful Idiots Are Coming! Useful Idiots Are Coming!

BigJournalism "The strip we’re doing is called “Useful Idiots.” A term coined by the Soviets as the pet name they had for Western Lefties who believed any lie they were fed. It will feature a cast of familiar characters you may have seen on TV while changing channels. For the sake of storytelling we’ve put them all at the same network which we call BSN." ObamaNation

Rove on the Crazy Witch Hunt of Patrick Fitzgerald

Clarice Feldman,AT "I had made four grand jury appearances, seen my wife and son subjected to countless hours of abuse and fear, depleted my family's savings to pay hundreds of thousands in legal fees, and worried endlessly about what might happen," Rove wrote. "I had faced the prospect of indictment because Patrick Fitzgerald wondered why I'd asked my staff to comb my records to see if I'd talked to Matt Cooper. ... The news of what he had been focused on simply confirmed my view that the special prosecutor was looking for a trophy."

Obama facing uprising over new NASA strategy

Yahoo News "The shuttle system still has four more flights to get crews and hardware to the International Space Station before the craft are retired. After that, NASA will be without a heavy-lift capability for a period of time. This means Americans would have to pay to ride on Russian rockets to get into orbit, a stark turn of events after the pivotal battle the United States and the Soviet Union fought to outdo each other in the space race."

Can Nancy Pelosi Get the Votes?

MICHAEL BARONE "Are there enough votes in the House to pass the Senate's health-care bill? As of today, it's clear there aren't. House Democratic leaders have brushed aside White House calls to bring the bill forward by March 18, when President Barack Obama heads to Asia. Nevertheless, analysts close to the Democratic leadership tell me they're confident the leadership will find some way to squeeze out the 216 votes needed for a majority. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has indeed shown mastery at amassing majorities. But it's hard to see how she'll do so on this one. The arithmetic as I see it doesn't add up."
