Sen. Reid’s Government Run Plan is a Stalking Horse for Real Plan

From Flopping Aces
The real plan is bad enough!
What an actor! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid presented his idea (we still haven’t seen the bill which he wrote in secret) for a government run health plan that had an “opt out” provision with a straight face. But the idea is such a joke, it’s difficult to [...]

Harry Reid, Moonbat

One of the Left’s weirder themes these days is that Republicans are unpatriotic. The latest occasion for this attack is the claim that Republicans were happy that Chicago wasn’t selected to host the Olympics. Politico headlined this morning, “Democrats: Republicans are rooting against America.” The claim was made by two left-wing bloggers:

Profiles in Asshattery

Laslo Boyd really doesn’t know his head from his ass when it comes to conservatives or Republicans. Sure he may know polls and power politics, but his latest column is littered with many straw men and sand pounding ignorance of what conservatism is.

The modern Republican Party, exemplified by the hyper-partisanship of Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay and Bob Ehrlich, the Ronald Reagan and George Bush philosophy that government regulation is always the problem and the private sector is always the solution, and the long-held belief that the answer to any question is to cut taxes, has been thoroughly discredited by the last eight years.

Heath Shuler Still Getting Sacked

I’ve written before on the intersection of politics and sport, particularly the Redskins and politics. The current debate over the stimulus bill (read spending bill) has provided another little Redskins-politics tidbit.

Looks like Heath Shuler has wrought more than just the wrath of Redskins fans. According to the AP Shuler, now a Democratic congressman from North Carolina, said that on pursuing bipartisanship, “House leadership and Senate leadership have really failed,"--A straight shot at Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Shuler is a conservative “Blue Dog Democrat” so some conflict with the Democratic leadership is to be expected.
