Dems Announce Plans to Ram Through Obamacare with 51 Votes if Scott Brown Wins

Gateway Pundit "Even if Democrats lose the special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator Tuesday, Congress may still pass health-care overhaul through a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.

Brian Williams Tempted to Cuss at Mark McGwire for His Lies; Not So on NBC When Bill Fessed Up About Monica

Newsbusters "...NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams made it personal on Tuesday night, suggesting "Because this is a family broadcast, we probably can’t say what we’d like to about the news today that Mark McGwire...stopped lying" about steroid use. What about the night that Bill Clinton finally stopped lying about Monica Lewinsky? It’s quite a contrast. On NBC Nightly News, Tom Brokaw wondered if all the prudes and their "compulsive fascination" with Clinton’s testimony hadn’t ruined politics for a generation..."

Thinking Through Pat Robertson and His Foolish Words

Thinking through Christianity "Pat Robertson makes news every few months with failed predictions of the future; he has predicted natural disasters and terror attacks that never materialized - often accompanied by the phrase "...that is, if I heard God correctly..." (I don't remember Isaiah ever saying that.) "

A Black-on-Black Discussion of Black Racism

Lloyd Marcus, AT "I never dreamed that we blacks would need to be liberated from ourselves. Like all humans, blacks are extremely diverse in their talents, tastes, and desires. We must stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated and intimidated into collectively voting for Democrats in order to keep Sharpton, Jackson, and the NAACP employed.".... "For this cause, I say to Al Sharpton, Jeanine Garafolo, and all you other libs, "Let my people go!" -Lloyd Marcus, (black) Unhyphenated American, singer/songwriter, entertainer, author, artist, and Tea Party patriot "

Let's All Join the War on Terror

American Thinker "We can no longer ignore the fact that state sponsors of terror use our investment money for evil purposes. We must demand that the American mutual fund industry send a strong message to these countries, especially Iran and Sudan: No more business as usual. It is time for all of us to do our part in the war on terror."

Funny: Press corps torments Gibbs again with questions about transparency

Hot Air "They’re gaming cost estimates, they’re bribing senators, they’re ignoring virtually every poll in the country showing massive disapproval. Why not extend the middle finger on transparency too? Are people going to go from enraged to really enraged or something?"

Not a shocker: Police department that “acted stupidly” endorses Brown

Hot Air "We do not endorse anyone who advocates changes in the health care that take away any bargaining rights or increases our cost along with our contributions. Senator Brown does not support the Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Bill and promises to be the 41st vote to ensure its defeat."

One Year Out: The Fall

Charles Krauthammer, Townhall "The reason for today's vast discontent, presaged by spontaneous national Tea Party opposition, is not that Obama is too cool or compliant but that he's too left. It's not about style; it's about substance. "

EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW?

Neal Boortz "Well, there's one American concept that certainly doesn't hold water with the Obama crowd. The idea our founding fathers had was pretty solid. The law would apply equally to every person in this country - rich or poor, weak or strong. There would be no privileged classes in this country to who the law would not apply. That's not the way it is with the Democrats and Obama."

OBAMA PANDERS TO THE WEALTH ENVY CROWD

Neal Boortz "Know this. Obama is anti-capitalist to his core. He does not now and never has liked free enterprise. Capitalism is "the enemy" to Barack Obama. He is dedicated to the destruction of America's free market economy ... to be replaced by a centrally planned and government-controlled economy. If he isn't stopped your way of live will be all but destroyed. He's gone past being an inexperienced joke." And this from Heritage: Bank Tax Misses the Real Bailout Deadbeats in Detroit and DC "So the real deadbeats that are not giving us "our money back" are not the banks, but the union-backed car companies and failed government mortgage modification programs.
