Democrats are still singing the same ol’ tune in our deficit problem, and that is raising more taxes. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) introduces H.R. 4646, misguidedly named “Debt Free America Act,” which would take one percent of each financial transaction. That means each sale of a good or service, and even ATM withdrawals. Lanny Davis [...]

Did President Obama or somebody in the White House offer Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) something in return for him to drop out of the primary race against Rep. Arlen Specter? Yes, said Sestak in an interview when he first leaked the news. On Friday (of course, right before a long weekend — slow news day) [...]

The CBO now says that health care reform would cost more — a lot more. Like $115 billion more over 10 years. And it’s barely three months since ObamaCare became law. Didn’t the Democrats promise a deficit neutral solution and lowering costs? How is Congress going to offset the additional $115 billion cost projection? That [...]

Throughout Obama’s campaign he often spoke of uniting the country, bipartisanship, blah, blah blah… But now it appears he’s having doubts about that himself. This latest Democratic National Committee video has President Obama seeking to “reconnect” with certain demographics, specifically “young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women”: Uh huh, what a force of unification.

Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak (D) is calling it quits after an impressive 18-year career representing the people of Michigan. The likely cause? Passage of the health care bill, of course. Stupak led a bloc of “moderate” Democrats who opposed the abortion language in the bill but finally relented after the president signed an executive order [...]

The Democrats are disgustingly sneaky in their politics… In order to make the health care bill more acceptable to doctors and to appear more deficit neutral in CBO scoring, the Democrats have a plan to put back the “doc fix” later — after passage of the overall reform bill. Politico has obtained a memo exclusively [...]

The liberal fanatic elitists in Congress are close to pulling the trigger on the Nuclear Option, but will they be ready for the fallout? Before the Democrats trigger their Nuclear option, they should review their college physics text books one last time and realize that at it’s essence the Nuclear option, like the bomb it [...]

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) deserves credit for sticking to his pro-life principles and uniting a group — the “Stupak Dozen” — of pro-life Democrats to oppose the health care bill. I can only imagine the pressure he and his group are feeling coming from their constituents, their party leaders, the White House, the liberals, and [...]

Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) has a theory: his own party’s leaders are behind the ethics investigation to force his resignation. According to the embattled congressman, House leaders and the White House weren’t too happy about his nay votes on health care and cap and trade, and have figured that getting rid of him would be [...]

Edwards, caught in the act of an extramarital affair and asking his aide to be public daddy to his daughter out of wedlock. Gore, recipient of the Nobel Peace prize for his work to bring awareness of man-made global warming, but after hackers exposed conspiring climate scientists we now know Gore was full of it. [...]

The current ObamaCare proposal does not satisfy some Democrats because of the abortion issue, and these members of Congress have publicly declared their opposition to the bill. Again, it is Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) leading the charge: “Yes. We’re prepared to take responsibility,” Stupak said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” when asked if he and [...]

The news just keeps getting worse for New York Gov. David Paterson… Not only has a scandal involving his aide cost him his re-election, but now as more details emerge Paterson may be facing criminal charges: Mr. Paterson instructed his press secretary, Marissa Shorenstein, to ask the woman to publicly describe the episode as nonviolent, [...]

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) — already trailing against possible Republican challengers — will now have to face one of her own. Lt. Gov. Bill Halter has decided to enter the Democrat primary race against Lincoln: Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter unexpectedly announced Monday that he would challenge Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the Democratic primary this [...]

Actions speak louder than words, and as much as Democrats decry accusations pinning them as national security softies, there’s a very good reason for it. Consider what the House Democrats tried to sneak into the intelligence authorization bill: Democrats inserted an 11-page addition into the bill late Wednesday night as the House Rules Committee considered [...]

After insisting on going through re-election, New York Gov. David Paterson will now abandon his re-election hopes but will serve out his current term. The Democrat establishment always had somebody else in mind for that job: Andrew Cuomo. I think the establishment finally got what it wanted with the revelation of a scandal: Paterson has [...]
