Do you want evidence of Nancy Pelosi’s crazy, progressive, elitist thought process? Here’s what she had to say during a speech to the National Association of Counties about the current health care bill the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress:
“You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if you’ve [...]

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 [...]

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 his [...]

Good news: there may be a way to filibuster the reconciliation process.
The Democrats have threatened to push health care legislation through by budget reconciliation which only requires a simple majority of 51 votes. However, Republicans have found a loophole in the process which allows them to introduce an unlimited number of amendments — in essence, [...]

Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) was the only Republican in the House to vote yes on the health care bill, but will not do so again in the president’s latest proposal. His gripe? Abortion funding:
“I have conveyed to the White House that at this point I cannot support the agenda that’s being pushed because of the [...]

President Obama’s bipartisan health care summit is nothing more than a show. There are fundamental differences between Republican and Democrat ideas on health care reform, and there’s no way they will be resolved by the end of the summit (4:15pm ET, according to the president). This summit is a waste of time and energy and [...]

President Obama refuses to give up on health care reform, even threatening to use reconciliation to pass a bill if Republicans threaten to filibuster. There are a couple of interesting points about Obama’s stubbornness…
First, he’s playing this hand before the planned bipartisan health care summit. Republicans have shown a cold shoulder to this meeting because [...]

This thing just won’t die…
Lead zombie President Obama is readying a merged House and Senate health care bill, without any Republican participation, to be presented as early as Sunday or Monday. And the Democrats are going to rush it through by reconciliation:
Those agreements are likely to be combined as a privileged budget reconciliation bill, which [...]

Maybe Sen. Franken (D-MN) still thinks he’s hosting a radio show? For a freshman senator he sure has a senior personality. But I’ll give him kudos for standing up against W.H. senior advisor David Axelrod about the health care debacle:
The private session was set up in a panel format, with Axelrod joined at the front [...]

Starting with NYT columnist and Nobel Prize recipient Paul Krugman:
In a post on his blog Wednesday night titled “He Wasn’t the One We’ve Been Waiting For,” Krugman eviscerated Obama for, in the columnist’s view, not stepping up during a crucial moment in his presidency.
“Progressives are desperately in need of leadership; more specifically, House Democrats need [...]

After what happened in Massachusetts, of course you won’t see the votes!
As top Democrats cast about for a way to get health care reform back on track, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took one option off the table Thursday, saying her caucus doesn’t have the stomach to pass the Senate bill unless changes are made.
“In its present [...]

Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts is already having an effect on Democrats in Congress. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is saying that nothing is to be done on the health care bill until Brown is sworn in:
Speculation had swirled in recent days that Democrats in the House and Senate may try to rush a [...]

It’s great to see Scott Brown becoming the senator-elect of Massachusetts. But it sure is entertaining to see the Democrats and liberals in an epic crap throwing contest. Against each other!
Even before the polls closed, word got out that a Coakley adviser sent out a memo blaming the Washington Democrats for acting too late:

National Dems [...]

Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA) was the only Republican to vote with the House Democrats on its version of the health care bill, but will oppose the Senate health care bill. Now with the Massachusetts Senate race potentially throwing a wrench into the Senate Democrat caucus, the White House and some Senate aides are focusing [...]

Uh oh, Michelle Malkin got a tip about President Obama meeting with Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) today. Is the White House now targeting Republican senators who are retiring, therefore having no re-election pressure and nothing to lose?
