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 [...]

Palin in Milwaukee

palin

Palin showed up for a brief fund raiser for Wisconsin Right to Life Education Fund on Friday night. 

In a personal and passionate speech, Palin lauded the state’s anti-abortion movement for legislative advances achieved over time.

“We were told to sit down and shut up,” Palin said. “Wisconsin, you went rogue.”

She used President Barack Obama’s mantra of [...]

I’d be offended, but I guess I’m too stupid to know better

pinocchio1

Is it just me, or is there a very disturbing trend that is beginning to appear with this administration…

For me, it kind of began with the little girl in the audience of the town hall meeting Obama was at.  You know, the one who

asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in [...]

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

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 [...]

How bad is it for Dems at these town hall meetings?

mob_pitchforks_small

Pretty bad.

Here’s one from Frozen Tundra Land, where Representative Gwen Moore from Milwaukee has returned home to seek the counsel and wisdom from her district, or something like that. 

The first thing you’ll notice when you read the news stories from reporters coming back from these meetings is that they are just plain, outright shocked  that [...]

Obama’s sweeping health care reform missing details

shackles

While at an appearance in Green Bay yesterday, President Obama used the opportunity to continue to push for his giant, bloated, government-run health care enslavement program. 

First off, I know you’re asking, “How do you know it’s giant and bloated?  We don’t know anything about it yet!”

And those are two very good points. 

To address the first [...]

New plan to pay for health care by… you guessed it! Taxing the rich

dead-horse

The Dems are mulling over different ways to pay for the enormous Orwellian health care reform we are all supposedly so anxious for.  There were also some proposals to add fees onto employers, taxes onto soda, and other equally foolish plans.  None of these ideas will be able to generate nearly enough money, of course, [...]

Yes, tax on soda will fund health care reform!

alfalfa_sprouted

It’s old news, but it’s good to get these bad ideas circulating as much as possible, so everyone can see them. 

I was having a discussion with someone I consider to be fairly well-informed, and she was surprised there was even any talk of a soda tax, so while it’s in the news we might as well [...]

Rasmussen: 54% oppose higher taxes for Universal Health Care

Usually the way these things go is that a general idea gets support, but when the actual specifics come out, popularity begins to sink.

Not so, apparently, with the idea of health care reform, where 54% of Americans are opposed to having their taxes raised for it right out of the gate.  I would have assumed [...]
