Democrats, using smoke and mirror tactics, plan to pass health care "reform" over the objections of the American voting public. Many have questioned why Democrats would doggedly continue on with a bill, overwhelmingly rejected by the public, which could result in massive losses for Democrats in the upcoming elections. It now appears that health care reform was never the actual goal, but simply a tool used to distract voters away from a massive government takeover of the economy and their long sought goal of federally funded abortions nationwide.
Health care reform is the sugar coating on the bitter pill of government control of individuals.
How else does one explain the deceitful legislative trickery, outright bribes and total refusal by Democrats to listen to their constituents to pass such a travesty?
Pelosi aide says Democratic congressional leaders have settled on legislative "trick" to pass Obamacare; So why have a summit?
"In comments reported by Congress Daily, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top health care aide Wendell Primus admitted top Democrats have already decided on the strategy to pass the Senate's pro-abortion, government-run health care bill.
'The trick in all of this is that the president would have to sign the Senate bill first, then the reconciliation bill second, and the reconciliation bill would trump the Senate bill,' Primus said at the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs.
“'There's a certain skill, there's a trick, but I think we'll get it done,' he said."
Democrats hope to get the bill passed and signed by Obama so that super majority votes are not necessary thus giving endangered Democrats an out on any future legislative voting. Under this plan each vote will only need 50% + one and will prevent Republicans from filibustering (preventing) passage of very controversial amendments.
Who are the Democrats who will stand and say 'No', this wrong and unethical and I won't be part of it? Will Zack Space allow the subversion of our Constitution? Will Stupak be part of the thwarting of the will of the people? Who will speak out the truth of what Pelosi, Reid and Obama are doing?
I fear cowards will prevail and in their salons clap each other on the backs for fighting the good fight and then go home and count their bribes.

Unions Use 'Slush' Funds To Elect Dems And Trash Americans
The war against the Tea Party movement is wholly funded by unions and their war room is in a lawyer's office in Washington DC.300 M Street, Suite 1102 is the law office of Joseph Sandler, a longtime general counsel to the Democratic National Committee. From this office millions of dollars of union members (some of which object to this) flows to help Democrats get elected. campaigning against other views and to push union legislation such as card check in an obvious quid pro quid with the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party. It is unethical and dishonest, but they claim it is legal.
Outside of that firm, the center of their activity appears to be a single office in Southeast D.C. -- 300 M Street, Suite 1102 -- which plays host to a sprawling political shell game they have established.
Public records show at least seven political shops listed in Suite 1102, most of which are essentially clones of one another, but all of which have offered money -- from measly thousands to game-changing millions -- in state-level elections across the country:
The APPC, which developed the anti-tea party ads, has gotten all of its money for 2010 from Patriot Majority and from Citizens for Progress, which is also called Patriot Majority West.
Patriot Majority West sent them $25,000 in January, and Patriot Majority added another $5,000. The groups, both run by Varoga and Rakis, also swap hundreds of thousands of dollars between themselves, money often buttressed by gifts from Patriot Majority Midwest, seen above as the Oklahoma Freedom Fund.

The confusing naming system is intentional, say election law experts, who generally disapprove of the practice.
Is it any wonder that more and more Americans look at unions as corrupt? What took so long...

Ron Paul And Things I Wish I Had Missed
The Ron Paul rEvolution is till there, unfortunately. Now they're kicking things up a notch in their effort to isolate America and prevent us from protecting ourselves. They've become better dressed anti war hippies for today's generation. That they may cripple us and help kill our soldiers abroad doesn't seem to be a connect for them. Nor do they see a connect with the America hating left, but sometimes a political movement just has an agenda to raise money that is being driven by a tin ear.
Stuck on stupid
Remember how well the Ron Paul Blimp worked when it propelled Ron Paul into the Oval Office in 2008? Me neither. But that doesn’t deter the Paulians from launching a campaign to litter our skies with a “Peace Blimp"
That these "leaders" feel that they will alter the course of America is laughable, but then is that their real goal? Better a bigger fish in a smallish pond, eh?

Please join us this March 20th for the largest online monetary war protest
in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $10 each
(minimum), creating a one day total of millions to fly the Peace Blimp until we
the people force our government to end this war.

Unionism, Government And The Pig Stuck Public
I have long maintained that too much governmental bureaucracy is a grave problem for the United States. That large sections of government, including state and local ones, are now part of unions, collective bargaining and threats to the smooth function of government only makes this problem even worse.
Enter Michael Barone:
Obama and his party are acting in collusion with unions that contributed something like $400,000,000 to Democrats in the 2008 campaign cycle. Public-sector unionism tends to be a self-perpetuating machine that extracts money from taxpayers and then puts it on a conveyor belt to the Democratic party.
Gee, could there be anything wrong with government bureaucrats working in a whole government health care system having a work slow down over negotiations or CIA support employees saying that an enemy attack should not happen on holidays?
And you thought the real problem was that unions are really just a massive fund raising arm of the Democratic Party instead of merely an adversarial machine to blackmail employers into meeting their demands. Wait. Uh-oh, are taxpayers the employers here?

Palin CHEATS! Left Stuck On Stupid.
Seems that Sarah Palin writing notes on her hand has some people convinced that she is a cheat. I have a friend who has always written phone numbers, notes and reminders on her left hand. Now, as a successful business woman, she still does.
, but she never was nor is now a cheat.
.
Doing a simple search brings up Palin supposedly cheating in various ways or maybe her husband cheating or maybe her body parts cheating or maybe someone connected to her cheating, quite possibly in league with her. Or someone she knows. Like McCain. Or one of his pets, but also possibly an Alaskan moose, which is probably why she shot it.
.
Illness should never be ridiculed, that would be wrong, but people suffering from Palin Misogyny Syndrom (PMS) should be treated with all means available including psychiatric ridicule.
.
As a comfort, these people should also be shown the half full glass of logic that appears to reflect that Palin has never been shown to openly cheat on Andrew Sullivan's uterus. Such a reassurance uttered before the administration of warm cocoa and a lullaby just before bed should ease their pain.

Stern/Franken/Couric/Kennedy: 4 Clowns Whose Mere Presence Dooms Success
Howard Stern to Replace Simon Cowell on 'IDOL'?
I guess I am in a minority of one, but I couldn't care less about Idol.
NO JOKE: FRANKEN SLAMS AXELROD AND WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE STRATEGY...
Maybe Franken can stomp his feet and punch someone. Maybe snarling while wearing a diaper. Yeah, that'll make statesman like.

A skinny Melvin Purvis impersonator has more gravitas than Patrick Kennedy. Hey, even Franken and Stern have more gravitas than Patrick Kennedy and Couric is taller than Purvis and she doesn't appear to have a Kennedy problem with driving.

Zack Space Makes US Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Way to go Zack, you Blue Dog Democrat! Ohio is oh so proud of you. You can betcha on that. In fact, each and every one of us is $6,000 more proud of you now that you and the government own us.
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Now that you have gone completely over to the dark side against your constituents and Ohio, you might as well just go ahead and vote for health care "reform" since we're so far in debt we can't afford aspirin, let alone a doctor. Maybe then you'll get to play doctor with your madam Pelosi.
UPDATE: The Ohio Blue Dogs voted liberal and Kucinich voted with the Republicans.

Fisher Doomed?
Fisher replaces campaign manager
Bringing in a guy that worked with Angelo's friend Chris Dodd and Louisianna Purchase Landrieu is going to help Fisher? Hopefully Howser can get Fisher a good mortgage deal on an Arcadian shotgun house after the election.

The Union Thugs That Monied Obama Into Office Plan A Tea Party Takedown
In October of 2008 I wrote about Patriot Majority and their peripheral groups and individuals being a front for unions to pour money into Obama's election.
ACORN, Bankers & Now Union Dupes, Patriot Majority For Obama
Well, they're back. Last time they characterized a radical as mainstream in hopes of lining their pockets after he was elected. This time they want to characterize the views of middle class Americans as radical because these "radicals" just might stop their gravy train from fully enriching them in trade for their full support.
Labor union money linked to anti-Tea Party Web site
These groups hope to become the shadow government.
