There Is No Bill But the Senate Bill

Heritage "The Senate health bill is so unpopular, even among House Democrats, that the leftist House leadership is desperately trying to trick the American people into believing that the House can pass the Senate bill without voting on it. Hence the Slaughter Rule which would deem the Senate bill passed at the same time the House would approve a new reconciliation bill. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was crystal clear on her motives this week telling a group of leftist bloggers: “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.” "

Ann Coulter: My Healthcare Plan

Human Events "It's a one-page bill creating a free market in health insurance. Let's all pause here for a moment so liberals can Google the term "free market." Nearly every problem with health care in this country -- apart from trial lawyers and out-of-date magazines in doctors' waiting rooms -- would be solved by my plan."

The Stupidity, Futility, and Fantasy of “Earth Hour”

Big Journalism "...let us consider the effects of “Earth Hour,” in terms of power production and that environment. Indeed, a sober analysis suggests that “Earth Hour” doesn’t do anything to save a planet that doesn’t need saving and that it may in fact rather increase air pollution instead of reducing it."

House Republicans Find 111 New 'Bureaucracies' in Health Care Bill

FoxNews Repeat from Nov, 2009:"That ought to tell you all that we need to know, that we're going to have 1,990 pages of legislation," House Minority Leader John Boehner said in an interview Sunday. "The word 'shall' exists in this bill 3,345 times."

Dems start countdown toward health care vote

Breitbart.com "House Democrats triggered the countdown Monday for the climactic vote on President Barack Obama's fiercely contested remake of the health care system, even though the legislation remained incomplete and lacked the votes needed to pass."

Doom of the Dems in 2010

Dick Morris "In U.S. politics, all elections are not created equal. It’s OK to lose the state legislative and gubernatorial elections held on years ending in 2, 4, 6 or 8. But you can’t afford to lose those held in years that end in 0. Those are the reapportionment elections."

Fainting Before The One Again?

Rush Limbaugh "RUSH: You mean a woman shouted at Obama "how dare you," meaning how dare you lie about this? CALLER: I think it was how dare you stifle this man's freedom of speech because you have a right to not agree with Obama. RUSH: Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So the guy didn't faint? CALLER: No! He was being drug off by four to six cops, and him saying that he needed a medic, that was a lie, among many that day. That basically telling the cops to drag that guy out of there, he was disrupting his lie fest, I guess. RUSH: Nothing's genuine! I mean every story I read talked about this poor guy who fainted. Now, we never heard what happened to him as a result of fainting. We were snookered again, maybe."

Palin to Obama: Hit the "Reset" Button with Israel

Weekly Standard "The Obama Administration reaches out to some of the world’s worst regimes in the name of their engagement policy. America and our allies watch as sanctions are eased on Cuba. Letters are written to Iran’s mullahs only to see that regime start killing protestors in the streets of Tehran. "...."In the midst of all this embracing of enemies, where does the Obama Administration choose to escalate a minor incident into a major diplomatic confrontation? With Iran, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea or Burma? No. With our treasured ally, Israel."

Obama's latest healthcare proposal

Pelosi brags that Obamacare is just the beginning

Rick Moran, AT "Somewhere in all of this, there has got to be the recognition that Pelosi-Obama-Reid have no faith in the democratic process and prefer debate and voting to occur after their diktats are passed. This, of course, is backwards from the way democracy should be working. As long as she has her caucus behind her, Pelosi will be able to do just about anything inside and outside the rules." Be sure to thank any celebrity for this.

Thanks Barack. It really didn't have to come to this

American Thinker "....a President who doesn't recognize America's best interests, never mind Israel's, and who hasn't got the toughness to act on them even if he did. Nothing to trust or depend on there. All of which guarantees that Israel will, among other things, launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in order to prevent it's own obliteration. Soon. "

Slaughter House Rules

WSJ "We're not sure American schools teach civics any more, but once upon a time they taught that under the U.S. Constitution a bill had to pass both the House and Senate to become law. Until this week, that is, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving to merely "deem" that the House has passed the Senate health-care bill and then send it to President Obama to sign anyway. "Via Neal Boortz. And here: House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it .
