Don't Expect the 2012 Republican Nominee to Echo Michele Bachmann's Attack on Obama
Do you want a candidate to take this kind of approach and go on offense?

"The regime has now given out over 1,000 Obamacare waivers, mostly to union and union-related groups. That's to get everyone on board before the election, but they want Obamacare to fail, because then what's the last resort? Obama! The government! It's all a pretext for a single-prayer health care."

This is one of the great geniuses of the American left.

What?

Democrats’ new budget proposal: Let’s trim our $1.5 trillion deficit this year by cutting another … $6.5 billion


It’s not even one half of one percent of the deficit. And of course, true to the form they perfected in ObamaCare, they’re relying on a cheap, fraudulent accounting gimmick to make it seem more impressive than it is. How do you turn $6 billion in cuts into $50 billion? Easy: Just use White House math.

Charts Of The Day

What does government do best most?

And whose wealth gets redistributed for the payments?  Merline also sees a decades-long trend there:

In fact, according to the IRS, which collects such data, the share of income taxes paid by the richest 1 percent almost equals the share of income taxes paid by the bottom 95 percent. Today, roughly a third of those who file a tax return don’t pay any federal income tax at all, or get more in refundable tax credits than they pay in taxes. (In 1985, only 18 percent fell into this camp, according to the Tax Foundation.)

News, Information & Opinion

"Listening to all these leftists moan about the lack of civility in our politics just makes you want to puke, because if anybody was the architect of a decline in standards of decency it was the American left after eight years of trying to destroy, not just disagree with, men like Rumsfeld and George W. Bush."

"We've tried every Obama idea to stimulate the economy -- surges in private sector regulations, lining the pockets of public sector unions, deficit spending, phony 'green' technology, crony capitalism with companies such as GE -- and we've lost. The future will be won by defeating Obama at the ballot box."

Obama Misses Main Point Entirely

Of all the disappointments of President Obama's State of the Union speech, none looms as large as his failure to address the fiscal problems. Does he not know it's ... More »

News, Information & Opinion

State of the Union Show Preview  
Expect platitudes like calls for "investments" that don't match Obama's deeds so far. 

"It's been two years that Obama has been president.  Is America stronger?  Is America freer?  Is America better since the regime took over?  Is the world safer or freer?"

The Government Can't Create or Save Jobs 
Proof: Obama promised that if we let him have trillions in slush fund spending, unemployment wouldn't hit 8%.

Zeitgeist

Michael Kinsley: Hey, Let’s Blame the Right Some More

But as I noted this morning, there is solid evidence (both testimonial and circumstantial) that Loughner’s ideology came not from the right but from the left. His distrust of government, obsession with monetary systems, even his atheism and trutherism are all major themes of the film series Zeitgeist. Loughner’s best friend is on record saying that Jared was obsessed with the ideas in these films.

Does Kinsley want us to overlook the actual source of Loughner’s ideology in order to focus on the talk radio Loughner never listened to? That makes even less sense than not discussing it at all. I suppose a more charitable read is that Kinsley is simply unaware of the Zeitgeist connection. But ten days on, it’s well past time for Kinsley and others to get the facts before hitting the keyboard.

Nation to heal by having congressmen from different parties sit next to each other at SOTU or something

Here’s Udall touting the idea to MSNBC yesterday. Exit question: Does he realize that party members have always been free to sit wherever they like at the SOTU?
