O'Neal Loses Bid For Speaker

President Obama is back to using scare tactics to try to push his takeover of health care, just a week after telling the Republicans to stop scaring people, even though the bill itself is scary.  Meanwhile, five Democrat Senators acknowledged that ObamaCare will violate The Mistake's promise not to raise taxes on the middle class and Socialist Bernie Sanders says that he will not vote for the bill.  The Democrats yesterday had to subvert Senate rules to stop the reading of Sanders' amendment yesterday.  They will never give up, because national health care is the holy grail of liberalism.

 

After the House taking tough votes this year on cap-and-tax and ObamaCare, Nancy Pelosi says that she is in campaign mode and next year will do what she can to protect her members from tough voters.

 

It's still snowing in Copenhagen, as things take a decidedly anti-capitalist turn.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is offering $100 billion per year to help developing countries deal with "climate change."

 

The House yesterday voted 217-212 to approve a $155 billion jobs bill, and on the same day that the federal government went over its debt limit voted 218-214 to increase the debt limit by enough to fund the next six weeks of bloated government.

 

Democrat districts are getting nearly twice as much "stimulus" money as Republican districts.

 

New jobless claims rose last week, putting a dent in the idea that the economy is recovering.

 

Health Nazis are complaining about Santa Claus being fat.

 

As the polls continue to shift away from Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine in his run for Governor, the media is starting to dig into his ethical lapses.  There are plenty more to come.

 

Clown Prince Vice President was in Georgia earlier to announce a 260-mile fiber optic network to connect Atlanta to North Carolina, paid for with stimulus funds.

 

State House Republicans picked David Ralston as their next Speaker, beating Bonaire Rep. Larry O'Neal.  Some think O'Neal was done in by a piece in the AJC that mentioned how much he got from lobbyists or an 11Alive story from last night about his legal work.
