9.7% unemployment good news? Must be a Democrat in office!

From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good!

The headline:

March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP

All right!

Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine.

The world's smallest violin for Representative Hank Johnson

I’m hearing from different sources this morning that picking on Congressman Hank Johnson’s obvious confusion while speaking with Admiral Willard about relocating Navy personnel to Guam was a mean-spirited, heartless, insensitive, and downright, well… conservative thing to do.

He’s sick, don’t you know.

Rep. Hank Johnson is the Atlanta Democrat who defeated and replaced the execrable Cynthia [...]

The Health Care Albatross and some advice for the Dems

albatross-l-stare

Old Nancy seems to be limping her way ever closer to her goal of 216.  She swears she’s got the votes to get this done, and probably by tomorrow afternoon, barring some other delay, we’ll know whether it’s still safe to get sick in this country or not. 

But with them so close to their goal, we [...]

Brooks: Obama can't get anything done, so he's a moderate, or something

David Brooks swings so wildly back-and-forth in some of his opinion pieces, I’m surprised his glasses haven’t flown off.  One moment, the liberal commenters on his NYT posts call him a crazed right-winger, and the next moment republican commenters are saying he’s a radical leftist media-type.  I guess to be a moderate, which Brooks is [...]

The absolute scariest thing I've seen in a very long time...

nuke01

You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs…  they play hardball.  When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all.  They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years.  At least not if any of these things are between [...]

I’ll take unemployed freshman senators for $500, Alex

Kool-AidMan

 

In an interesting clip from YouTube, via Hot Air, freshman senator Michael Bennet tells his constituents where they can shove it with one easy word. 

“Yes.”

So, Jeopardy-style, what’s the question for this answer?

“If every piece of evidence tells you if you support that bill, you will lose your job… would you cast the vote and lose your [...]

The difference between Michael Steele and Dede Scozzafava is…?

USA-POLITICS/REPUBLICANS

Dede actually had the guts to come out and support the Democrats. 

Steele doesn’t go the distance like Dede, but he’s pretty good at beating up on Republicans. 

Wait… wait… isn’t Steele the Chairman of the Republican National Committee?  What do you mean, he’s beating up on Republicans?  He wouldn’t do that, right?

Yeah, that’s kind of the [...]

Pence gives sage advice to Dems on Fox News Sunday

mike_pence_25

Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference gave the Dems some very sound advice today when he stopped by to chat with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. 

Chris, I think the message from last night is that Democrats didn’t get the message in August or last Tuesday.

But last night, on a narrow partisan [...]

One very important point about Omama and health care you should know

trough01

Are you sitting down?

Ready?

He doesn’t care what you think about health care.

Yup.  That’s right. 

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

41% of voters.  That’s… not much.  Especially for such [...]

Obama’s position on Afghanistan has me… confused.

confused02

A word of caution.

Please be sitting down for this post.  There is a distinct possibility your head will spin in so many directions that you’ll be unconscious by the time you’re done reading it. 

It’s going to start a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… back when Obama was a Senator in 2008, [...]
