The Other McCain

Some Say That Sufficient Falsehood Can Enable Truth

by Smitty Here is a ~2 minute summary of the major low-lights in ObamaCare. Brief and bitter, like a mugging:

Charles Krauthammer Is Wrong About The Main Argument Against ObamaCare

by Smitty From Fox News All Stars, via the Corner The main argument against this Obamacare is it’s going to destroy our economy. All the numbers in it are phony. It’s going to create a huge amount of debt. That may be the proximal cause, Mr. Krauthammer. The main argument is that We The People […]

Gee, ObamaCare Is Still Unpopular!

Rassmussen Reports: 55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Bill. Quinnipiac: Obama Gets Small Bounce From Health Care Win. Do you recall somebody being very skeptical of that Gallup/USA Today “turnaround” claim?  And do you recall somebody writing this? A lot of things have changed in seven months, but amid all the changes, ObamaCare has been reliably unpopular. […]

Via Insty, a question from Kaus: Who’s the guy assigned to keep Obama’s ego in check? … Tip: Start by reminding Obama that he won the vote in part by leveraging his weakness–pleading with Democratic Congressmen to save […]

‘The News Slows, People Forget’

Yesterday, everybody was talking about a poll so ludicrously positive for ObamaCare that even Allahpundit was skeptical. The irrationality of post-passage spin is the topic of my latest American Spectator column: Seven months is a long time in politics. Seven months ago, in August 2009, Democrats still held the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey. Rep. […]

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter Remains A Favorite

by Smitty via Power Line, Michael Ramirez lays it down: “We the Government” Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, via Gateway Pundit, expands on this wonderfully: …the most dangerous special interest is big government and President Obama is its lobbyist. McCotter sure is a lot more fun when he isn’t speaking through contained fury. Update: Trifecta talks about […]
