Go ahead, Henry Waxman: Launch another Obamacare witch hunt

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:00:53 +0000

Hey, remember back in March when the Democrats’ chief inquisitor on Capitol Hill, Henry Waxman, announced plans to haul up corporate executives who dared to speak the truth about the dire cost consequences of the federal Obamacare mandate? Flashback March 3,1 2010: Now, Waxman is targeting the heads of Deere, Caterpillar, Verizon and AT&T with “invitations” they can’t refuse to testify at an April 21 hearing on their public statements regarding Demcare-caused writedowns. Waxman’s fishing expedition letters sent out last week “asked” the company heads to produce copious documentation. Business execs are damned if they do disclose how the costs of the new federal health care taxes will hit their bottom …

Joel Hansen — the Nevada conservative using some unique arguments in his suit challenging the new health care law — told TPMMuckraker that his argument that health care reform imposed a form of slavery on the nation might not be his strongest argument, but it was a valid one. “I think it is involuntary servitude, if they force you to buy a product,” Hansen …

It’s official: Democrats are hurting Andy Griffith’s reputation

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:28:52 +0000

Bad news for America’s favorite sheriff: Andy Griffith – star of the Andy Griffith Show, a Manteo resident and noted endorser of Democratic causes and candidates – has seen his approval ratings plummet, according to a poll published Tuesday by Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling. The Democratic pollster found that Griffith’s approval rating has fallen 25 points since 2008. Griffith has been a closer for Democrats, an unimpeachable saintly figure who fills his rare political spots with folksy charm and…

School Named After Al Gore and Rachel ‘DDT’ Carson Built on Toxic Soil

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:45:28 +0000

A new school will be opening in Los Angeles next Monday that is named after Nobel Laureate Al Gore and Rachel Carson, the woman almost single-handedly responsible for DDT being banned in the ’70s. Even more delicious than the names associated with the new $75.5-million Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences is that it was built on land thought to be highly-contaminated with various chemicals which could pose a threat to students. As the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday: Critics say the campus’ location poses a long-term health …

Bad Joke of the Day… Record Setting Dems Are Trying to Run as Fiscal Conservatives

JHTRazor — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:51:04 +0000

Now this is a joke… A very bad joke. The record setting, big-spending, Trillion dollar democrats are now trying to pretend that they are fiscal conservatives. Good luck with that. Their record trillion dollar stimulus package failed . They tripled the national deficit last year by nearly a trillion dollars – something unheard of in our nation’s history. After an unheard of record deficit last year of $1.4 Trillion the economy is on track to experience a $1.3 Trillion deficit this year. The Washington Post reported: The candidate was outraged – just outraged – at the country’s sorry…

The Audacity of Austerity

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:24:40 +0000

Wash Post : The candidate was outraged – just outraged – at the country’s sorry fiscal state. “We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet,” he fumed to a roomful of voters. “In my view, we have nothing to show for it.” And that was a Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who voted “yes” on the stimulus, the health-care overhaul, increased education funding and other costly bills Congress approved under his party’s control. Faced with a potential wipeout in November’s midterm elections, candidates such as Bennet are embracing budget cuts with the enthusiasm of Reagan Republicans. John J. Miller

Will the GOP Stand for Life?

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:59:42 +0000

Many Red S tate readers probably remember 1994. The GOP launched its “Contract with America” six weeks before the mid-term elections and took back Congress with a 54-seat swing on Election Day. While the Contract had many good ideas, a family values agenda was left in the dust, and was ignored once Congress convened. Protecting women and unborn babies from the…

JHTRazor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:32:09 +0000

Last week, when tea partiers weren’t chatting online about Glenn Beck’s mega-rally at the Lincoln Memorial, they were cyberventilating about the threats tea party umbrella group FreedomWorks is supposedly facing from angry left-wingers. FreedomWorks told more than one reporter that a growing number of death threats received by the organization is forcing FreedomWorks to spend precious GOTV funds on an unexpected move to a “high-security” building across D.C. from their current headquarters …
