Senator Harry Reid continues to display his pompous, arrogance when it comes to ramming through a health care bill that most Americans don’t want. Reid confessed he is willing to use reconciliation in order to pass this bill. Reconcilliation would allow the bill to be passed with 51 votes instead of the 60 needed in [...]
In another back-room deal this week labor leaders agreed to a compromise with the White House health care plan on taxing employee insurance plans. Non-union workers with expensive health care plans would start paying this tax in 2013. The deal brokered with unions would push that date out to 2018.

No, it’s not your local jail. This group of miscreants are your political representatives. They did not ascend to political power because they were nice people. Americans voted these politicians into office placing trust in their judgement that they would always put their constituents interest ahead of any personal agenda or gain.

In yet another vote to heap further debt on American middle-class citizens the Democrats voted in favor to bring the health care reform bill to debate.

Apparently there are some doctors eager to make a (White) House call in order to endorse the Obama health care reform plan. The President had them play dress up and commented they looked “spiffy” in their coats which was a little corny and a bit over the top. How many actually brought their own lab [...]
When Democrats booed President Bush during a State of the Union speech this was a perfectly acceptable response.
