The End of Queen Nancy’s Reign?

March 19, 2010

Clyde Middleton of the Patriot Room sees ObamaCare failing miserably, and has written a humorous piece on the end of Queen Nancy’s reign.  I’m not as sure about the defeat of ObamaCare as I was a couple of days ago, though I am still optimistic, but I do believe that Clyde has it right that [...]

Slaughtering the Constitution

March 15, 2010

The Democrats released a 2,300 page “shell” bill from the budget committee yesterday.  The bill is actually one of the House versions of ObamaCare that had come out of the Education and Labor as well as the Ways and Means committee last year.  It wasn’t the final bill used for passage by the house, but [...]

Pelosi’s “Read the Bill” Moment

March 9, 2010

When John Conyers ridiculed those who wanted him to actually “read the bill” last summer, we nodded our heads and generally agreed that people like him were the problem in Washington — so, we elect people to pass laws that they don’t even bother to read?  Yup.  We thought it, and it was confirmed in [...]

TIME Magazine Hurls Ultimate Insult at Obama

March 8, 2010

Mark Halperin at Time Magazine has soured on Obama.  In fact, in a piece this weekend, he hurled the ultimate insult at Obama – that he is similar to the dreaded George W. Bush.  The article compares not necessarily the policies (although there are many differences, Obama has continued many of Bush’s policies that he [...]

Infighting in the Democrat Party

February 12, 2010

It appears that all is not well between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and President Barack Obama (Socialist).  First, Harry Reid dumped the $85 billion “bi-partisan” stimulus-II bill that Obama had expressed support for, replacing it with a much smaller $15 billion bill, and has angered the two [...]

Ryan’s Take on the State of the Union Address

January 28, 2010

I didn’t like it.
Pretty succinct, huh?!
Aside from the obvious liberal crap and fake platitudes, here’s what I really didn’t like:  Obama’s Chavez-like qualities shown through a few times last night.  The way he immaturely called out the Supreme Court with a poor, populist, and inaccurate argument, knowing they couldn’t respond lest Joe Wilson-like “You Lie” [...]

Democrat Leadership to Push ObamaCare Reconcilliation Bill

January 26, 2010

So the Democrat leaders are insistent on trying to drive their party off a cliff by using budget reconciliation as a tactic to try to ram ObamaCare through.  Here’s the situation:  the ObamaCare bill that passed the Senate does not have enough support in the House without significant changes.  Everything from the public option, to [...]

Health Care Legislation On The Brink

July 27, 2009

Health Care legislation appears to have stalled somewhat, with the Senate no longer planning to vote on the bill before the August recess, and the house likely to follow suit, dealing a major blow to Obama’s stated objectives and making ultimate passage of the bill far more difficult.
In the Senate, the finance committee is working [...]

New Poll: Cheney More Popular than Pelosi!

June 5, 2009

OK, it’s a USA Today/Gallup poll of about 1000 “adults”, which under normal circumstances is about as accurate as a show of hands at a hoppin’ dance club around 1 am, but nonetheless Dick Cheney ended up with a higher favorability rating than San Fran Nancy Pelosi, 37-34% respectively!
For goodness sake, Darth Cheney is more [...]

May 26, 2009

After an admittedly few off-weeks from my favorite comedian, Steven Crowder returned to form with his latest video.  The target in this clip:  Nancy Pelosi.

Happy Ryan?

San Fran Nan Looks Like a Sham

May 14, 2009

This just gets better from the San Francisco Treat!  Internal polling data has to be devastating.  Word around the watercooler ain’t that nice!
It’s very very hard to follow the House Speaker’s memory and recent statements.  Sometimes she “misremembers” this and that, sometimes she throws the CIA under the bus to cover herself (as a rule, don’t upset [...]

What Did She Know and When Did She Remember It

May 10, 2009

An important story worth watching last week was that of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and when she knew about the Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) used on Gitmo detainees. 
At first, she knew nothing about the EITs being used until the general public did:  “We were not, I repeat, we were not told that waterboarding or any [...]

Providence Beats #1 Pitt

February 25, 2009

Unranked bubble team Providence College defeated #1 Ranked Pittsburgh in NCAA Men’s Basketball last night, 81-73.  It was one bright shining moment before Emperor Zero took the stage to play Caesar for an hour (I was waiting for San Fran Nan to hover the laurels over Zero’s head and whisper “Remember thou art mortal”). 
This was [...]

The Stimulus Vote and the Suspension of Democracy

February 13, 2009

First a bit of reality.  The stimulus is going to pass.  Only two scenarios could prevent that.  First, in the House, if 39 Blue-Dog Democrats (there are 49 in the Blue-Dog caucus) bolt and vote with the Republicans.  Not likely to happen.  Second, now that Kennedy cannot vote due to his health, if one of [...]

How Many Americans Will Lose Their Jobs?

February 4, 2009

How many Americans will lose their jobs if the stimulus doesn’t pass?  According to Madame Speaker, 500 million.

Note the total U.S. Populaton, including infants, children, and the eldery, currently sits at just above 300 million.  Scott Martin at the Patriot Room thinks that she just said the stupidest thing that any politician has ever said.  [...]

Update: Obama Looking to Squash Contraception from Stimulus

January 27, 2009

Barack Obama is apparently looking to squash the contraception provision from the Economic Stimulus Package, in a move designed to try to get Republican support for the bill.  This comes after a bonehead move by Nancy Pelosi where she tried to argue that contraception funding was indeed an economic stimulus. The leftwing nutroots are apparently [...]

Pelosi: Contraception is Economic Stimulus

January 26, 2009

According to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Contraception funding is an economic stimuls, apparently because less babies will save the states money.  In an exchange George Stephanopoulos on This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are [...]

Democrats To Engage in Witch-Hunt

January 18, 2009

Now that the Democrats are less than two days away from achieving complete power in Washington, there seems to be talk about prosecutions of Bush administration officials in order to appease the nutroots.  Rep. John Conyers of the House Judiciary committee wants to set up a special commission to investigate the Bush administration,  Pelosi seems [...]

Blue-Dogs Seek Leadership

November 8, 2008

One of the reasons that the Democrats won the Congress in 2006 is that they ran moderate-sounding Democrats in Red states.  The trend continued in 2008 as they picked up another 20 seats.  Now the Blue-Dogs are asserting themselves by demanding a seat at the leadership table in the House. Says Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.), [...]

SNL Skit Removed from NBC Site

October 7, 2008

This past Saturday, SNL had a funny and dead-on skit about the bailout bill.  It was staged as a press conference featuring President Bush, Speaker Pelosi, and Rep. Barney Frank, and also featured an appearance by George Soros.  The skit does a very good job at looking at the primary people who caused the mess, from [...]

Blame the Democrats for Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac

September 30, 2008

 
These are your culprits, America,  The Sub-prime Mortgage Crisis is the fault of the Democrats.  It all started with the Community Redevelopment Act of 1975, which was desinged to force banks to give low-income housing to those who could not afford it.  For the first 20 years of its existence, however, it was not highly enforced.  Author Dan Flynn on [...]

Bailout Fails — What Next?

September 29, 2008

The proposed $700 Billion Bailout failed to pass today, 207 for, 226 against.  In reaction, the DOW dropped 700+ points, before rallying again to around  a 300-point drop for the day, and is now bouncing between a 300 and 600 point drop.  As expected, the majority of conservatives opposed the bill (66 for, 132 against) but [...]

Domestic Drilling Victory — For Now

September 19, 2008

Drill, Drill, Drill has been the campaign mantra of the Republicans. Now, in what is seen as a victory, temporary though it may be, the so-called gang of 20 sham “compromise” legislation willl not be introduced this year.  With the House passing its own more expansive plan for drilling (although still more of a sham [...]

After the Dems decided to start a five-week vacation, about 40 or so House Republicans, led by Mike Pence, stayed in the House chamber after the Dems adjourned to make a point about the Republican’s determination to get a drilling bill up for a vote.  On her way out San Fran Nan had the lights turned [...]

Bush Push on Oil Drilling

July 14, 2008

President Bush announced today that he is rescinding his father’s Executive Order which banned off-shore oil drilling.  And it’s about time in my opinion!  What’s interesting about this development is that Congress imposed it’s own separate ban, meaning that if off-shore drilling were to take place, both branches would have to agree.  Now, it’s solely in [...]

Nancy Pelosi on the Price of Gas in Her Own Words

June 27, 2008

Here’s a quote from San Fran Nan on the issue of high gas prices back in the summer of 2006:
“With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican rubber-stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to the Republican big oil and gas company cronies….
“Democrats have a [...]
