The Worst Bill Ever

Epic new spending and taxes, pricier insurance, rationed care, dishonest accounting: The Pelosi health bill has it all.

The Vulnerable Frank Kratovil

How vulnerable is freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD)?  Not half as vulnerable as he, and his pals in the media would have you believe.

Sure, common sense dictates that Kratovil will have some tough sledding in 2010.  The First District has historically gone Republican since the early 1960's.  However, less than two months into his term, Kratovil and the DCCC are doing all they can to make sure that Flip-Flop Frank will get over the hump in 2010 so that his Democrat pals in the Maryland legislature can gerrymander a nice safe seat for 2012 (and beyond).

If you follow congressional seats around the country you will quickly find that this disingenuous stab at fooling the voters isn't limited to Maryland's 1st congressional district.

Kratovil Votes with Nancy Pelosi for Porkulus!

A quick trip back to Earth for all those apologists who claimed that Congressman Frank Kratovil was something other than just another democrat. Despite voting against the first iteration of the stimulus bill (yes voting against it before voting for it) Kratovil has heard his master's (Pelosi) call and voted for the Porkulus bill.

This is exactly what those of us who opposed Mr. Kratovil fully expected to happen. His close ties to the democratic establishment, especially Martin O'Malley (who lobbied on behalf of the bill this week), made any illusion of independence or conservatism just that, an illusion.

Expect more votes in favor of the disasterous Obama economic plan from our "conservative" democratic congressman.
