From a thread on Delaware Liberal about Bob Gilligan’s speech to the Progressive Democrats of Delaware:
Gilligan told us that they expect at least a $300M-$400M budget gap next year (that’s before the additional job losses in Delaware City were announced) and he said point blank that they are not [...]
Some days the good news just keeps coming. The New York vote was 24 to 38 with all 30 Republicans voting no (do you think the assembly woman getting 5% of the vote in the Congressional race played a role) and 8 Democrats joining the parade of common sense. In [...]
Democrats have a real problem. In Rasmussen Polling released Tuesday, only 42% say their representative deserves election. 42% say no way. I have seen Congressional approval ratings that were low for decades, but people tend to approve of their own representative. This number in part explains a 28% swing [...]
Carper will soon be meeting with conservative Democrats to discuss the progress of the alternative. "[Senator Carper] got something set for tomorrow night," Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) told me. "we'll know more then, hopefully."
Carper demurred' [...]
Senate Democrats have included a monstrous pro-abortion mandate in health deform legislation. According to the NY Times, the senate bill has a requirement that an insurance plan covering abortion be available in every market. The so-called funding ban is viewed as an accounting sham. It may use private money [...]
The real number driving down the Democrats is U-6. U-6 is 17.5%. What is U-6? It is the total unemployment rate. It is the true measure of those affected by the economic contraction. It is the number that is dragging down Democrat futures because it shows the breath of [...]
Back on March 19,2009, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impose a 90% tax on the income of certain executives of financial institutions who had received federal funding during the bailouts.
Considering that the house is controled by the Democrats this is not all that remarkable. What is remarkable [...]
Yes, I know there may be some confusion about the title of this thread. One would only wish that the Democrats would tax, JUST THE BOOBS. In that event Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would be in serious trouble.
No, this is the latest scheme by the Democrats to find some villian [...]
The Senate starts debating health care next week. But if it passes without a public option, there's only one person to blame: Harry Reid.
As the majority leader of the Senate, the power to pass a public option is squarely in Reid's hands. Will Reid let three [...]
UPDATE: Landrieu outraged at $100 million figure. She says it was $300 million and she is proud of it.
The Lapdog Democrats have caved yet again. All 58 Democrats and 2 independents formed the bare 60 vote super majority need to bring Reid Health Deform to the floor. Senator [...]
Apparently the stimulus package expanded Congress. 50 jobs were created by one lawnmower bought to mow a cemetery. I want that magic lawnmower. In other news, the Democrats say allow us to have a statistical abstract for the census. Someone is messing with Joe. Worse they are messing [...]
After shrugging off a boycott by Republicans who opposed the measure and mostly shunned the debate, Democrats pushed the legislation through the Senate Environment' [...]
Republicans have a lead on the generic ballot for Congress in the latest Gallup Poll. What you may not know is that Republicans have a 22 point lead among Independents. The trend among likely voters is now showing up in this poll of registered voters. Voters are moving away [...]
