Small Business and Obamacare

As John Goodman describes it, these are stunning poll results

There's more of this sort of thing to come.

MUCH more.

November is coming. It's time to take political advantage of a crisis, just like the Dems/Lefties/"Progressives"/Sorosites/Unions/Media and every babbling hopey changey blogger did in 2008.

The only difference will be that we are not the ones who created this crisis in the first place. The afore-mentioned fools are STILL the culprits.

The last resort for Dems this election season

Does anyone really think the Demagouges Democrats are not desperate enough to try this worn out tactic?

Key points:

"Now we know why the country has become 'ungovernable,' last year's excuse for the Democrats' failure of governance: Who can possibly govern a nation of racist, nativist, homophobic Islamophobes?

Note what connects these issues. In every one, liberals have lost the argument in the court of public opinion. Majorities -- often lopsided majorities -- oppose President Obama's social-democratic agenda (e.g., the stimulus, Obamacare), support the Arizona law, oppose gay marriage and reject a mosque near Ground Zero.

What's a liberal to do? Pull out the bigotry charge, the trump that preempts debate and gives no credit to the seriousness and substance of the contrary argument. The most venerable of these trumps is, of course, the race card. When the Tea Party arose, a spontaneous, leaderless and perfectly natural (and traditionally American) reaction to the vast expansion of government intrinsic to the president's proudly proclaimed transformational agenda, the liberal commentariat cast it as a mob of angry white yahoos disguising their antipathy to a black president by cleverly speaking in economic terms."

Does that remind you of a particular group of people who comment on a particular local "progressive" blog?

Boehner to Obama: Fire All Economic Advisers

"Clearly, President Obama’s economic advisers’ policies have failed to produce any signs of economic recovery. A new report shows that 48 out of 50 states have lost jobs since the “stimulus” was enacted in February 2009. According to the report, government employment in Washington DC has increased while private sector jobs have stagnated across the country. Despite the loss of 2.5 million private sector jobs since 2009, the Obama administration continues to tout the 'success' of the 'stimulus' on their propaganda filled summer tour.

In his speech today, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) called on Obama to fire all of his economic advisers starting with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and White House adviser Larry Summers. Recently, Tim Geithner wrote a New York Times column titled 'Welcome to the Recovery.' In his column, he claims that:

the actions we took at its height to stimulate the economy helped arrest the freefall, preventing an even deeper collapse and putting the economy on the road to recovery.

Of course, this is far from the truth. No government in history has ever spent a country into prosperity. On the contrary, government 'stimulus' programs have made the economy worse by preventing the growth of the productive private sector. Due to the unpopularity of the 'stimulus', Obama’s economic advisers have purposely removed the word stimulus from their vocabulary. The 'stimulus' has been such a disappointment that Obama’s economic advisers now refer to it as the 'recovery act.' Whether it’s called the 'stimulus” or the “recovery act', the plan has still likely prevented the creation of 10 million jobs in the private sector. "

Boehner to Obama: Fire All Economic Advisers

We need to fire the guy at the top, and fire the number two guy, too......... after the new Republican Congress takes office next January.

Obamacare: The more you know, the more you dislike it

James Capretta:

"While it is true that the program is a massive entitlement, specifically designed to get the American middle class fully hooked on another expansive government benefit, Obamacare also — unlike the Medicare drug benefit — creates millions of losers. Democrats riddled it with budget gimmicks and sleights of hand to create the illusion of a fully financed program; but what it really does is redistribute resources within the health sector away from those who have good coverage today.

As millions of today’s happily insured citizens begin to find out that their current arrangements have been disrupted, and, in some cases, terminated, to pay for the Obama administration’s government-centric takeover, their views of Obamacare will only sour further."


Remember that "we have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it", as prevaricated by one the essential cogs of the most transparent administration in history's agenda.

Think that's bad? Just wait until all the nonsense in the new "financial reform" law becomes known. And just think of the secret delights Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" have in store for us with their renewed Cap 'n Trade, "net neutrality", "fairness doctrine", illegal immigrant amnesty, and VAT "enhancements" if we don't castrate their destructive agenda this November.

The NY-23 election is NOT over

So says the Syracuse News.

Noteworthy:
" 'For Doug to win, we needed a three-way race,' Ryan said, adding that the campaign’s internal polls showed Hoffman would win with all three candidates.

'Given the majority of these ballots are from a three-way race, we think the ballots are going to break Doug’s way,' Ryan said.

Ryan declined to say what percentage of the absentee vote the campaign believes Hoffman would need to win the race. Nevertheless, Hoffman’s campaign is optimistic.

'When people look back at this race, it was a remote possibility that Doug Hoffman would be a contender,' Ryan said. 'But miracles do happen.' "

More:

"As it stands now, Bill Owens may be in Washington and voting the Pelosi Party line but when the vote is certified he may be ousted. The state Board of Elections indicated that '...all ballots will be counted, and if the result changes, Owens will have to be removed.' Concession speech or not, if the voters in the 23rd District elected Doug Hoffman and not Bill Owens, then Hoffman will be the Representative.

There are currently over 10,000 uncounted absentee ballots, many of which were in the military where a strongly conservative bias exists. Given the narrow margin of Owens' lead at this time, it's entirely possible that this race could still swing for Hoffman."

Sources indicate that the Democrats would not have had the votes to pass the Health bill if Owens had not been sworn-in and pledged his support for it. Several other Representatives have indicated that they would not have cast their votes in favor of the bill if they were not certain that it had the votes to win."

My, my, my!

The effective death of the Cult of Obama

Krauthammer: "The Myth of '08, demolished".

Noteworthy:
"The vaunted Obama realignment vanished. In 2009 in Virginia, the black vote was down by 20 percent, the under-30 vote by 50 percent. And as for independents, the ultimate prize of any realignment, they bolted. In both Virginia and New Jersey they’d gone narrowly for Obama in ’08. This year they went Republican by a staggering 33 points in Virginia and by an equally shocking 30 points in New Jersey.

White House apologists will say the Virginia Democrat was weak. If the difference between Bob McDonnell and Creigh Deeds was so great, how come when the same two men ran against each other statewide for attorney general four years ago the race was a virtual dead heat? Which made the ’09 McDonnell-Deeds rematch the closest you get in politics to a laboratory experiment for measuring the change in external conditions. Run them against each other again when it’s Obamaism in action and see what happens. What happened was a Republican landslide.

The Obama coattails of 2008 are gone. The expansion of the electorate, the excitement of the young, came in uniquely propitious Democratic circumstances and amid unparalleled enthusiasm for electing the first African-American president."
Ah, but certain people locally and nationally want you to believe the falsehood that Obama and his policies had absolutely nothing to do with last Tuesday's election results.

And by the way, the Moon is made of green cheese too.

Joe Eszterhas believes

Proof again there is hope yet for the morally derelict of our society.

I can relate. Been there, done that.

I actually voted for George McGovern and Jimmy Carter before I began to understand..
