Continue readingIn the wake of the 2008 election, Republicans and conservatives were paralyzed. They’d been trounced, not so much by sweeper percentages (that is, the elections were all just over the slightly 50% mark), but by huge numbers of elections in which Democrats edged out Republicans by those few percentage marks.

Here she is, a terrible public speaker, but still arguing strongly that it’s absolutely unconscionable for Congress to sneak bills through committee, to vote on things they haven’t read and don’t know, to vote on bills that the American public hasn’t had to read,

Continue readingMaybe she got those Dems to vote yes because she assured them that, at the end of the day, the Senate will vote no. Or, maybe, we’re screwed: The US House of Representatives has approved the broadest US health care overhaul in a half-century, handing President Barack Obama a major
Continue readingI like how clearly Karl Rove sums up the economic pain the Democrats’ proposed health care plan will impose on the economy as a whole and on individual Americans: For starters, the bill is a lot more expensive than advertised. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) pegs its cost at $1.055

When you make those phone calls to senators and congresspeople in response to Michelle Bachman’s call

Because the first important Senate vote is
