Saturday Night Live isn't the only unusual source of criticism ot President Obama's trip to China. Max Boot notes that some Democrats were less than impressed. For example, Liz Economy of the Council on Foreign Relations stated:
It was, optically, one of the worst U.S. presidential visits' [...]Mary Landrieu announced today that she will vote for cloture on the Democrats' government medicine bill tonight. The Democrats now have 60 votes and will be able to pass their version of government medicine.
UPDATE: Well, I suppose we shouldn't jump the gun. The Democrats will need 60 votes once [...]
Are you a Democrat? Are you a Republican? Are you libertarian or conservative or liberal or progressive or moderate or far this or that? As an American, it is your right to hold the beliefs that make the most sense to you.
Whether you are black [...]
Even congressional Democrats are disgusted with the Obama administration's phony accounting of what the stimulus plan supposedly is accomplishing. Earlier this week, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey lambasted the government's flawed data purporting to show that $160 billion in stimulus spending has created or saved at least 640,000 jobs. [...]
There's a stock column appearing in left-liberal MSM outlets all over the country, The author varies, but the main point is the same: Republican Senators are guilty of "hypocrisy" for attempting to filibuster one of President Obama's judicial nominees after having criticized Democrats for filibustering a host of President Bush's' [...]
The Rasmussen survey finds that Republican candidates continue to enjoy a six-point lead over Democrats in the generic Congressional preference poll. This survey offers more evidence that independent voters are decisively turning away from the Democrats, as independents favor the generic Republican candidate by a rather shocking 41 to [...]
The Washington Post has a front-page story today about Sen. Blanche Lincoln, the Arkansas Democrat and her plight as a "centrist in [the] health care debate." According to Post reporter Shailagh Murray, if Lincoln "does not embrace the party line on the health issue, she could face a" [...]
“Franken’s amendment may make sense for national Democrats in laying down lines of attack heading into the 2010 campaign — but this is not what Franken needs to build a base in Minnesota,” said Larry Jacobs, an expert in state politics at the University of Minnesota.
“Being a poster boy of a [...]
There is a brand new term that the media, liberal Democrats and special interests, and the Obama administration are trying to sneak into the American conscious with out anyone realizing.
Repeat after me: Abortion coverage.
Again: Abortion coverage.
One more time: Abortion coverage.
Women face tough choices on abortion coverage“Abortion coverage”

What happens in the Democratic underbelly and leadership mixers is supposed to stay there Sen. Clark.
DFLer Tarryl Clark may have won the sticks and stones of Big Labor, but she has run out of intellectual ammunition when it comes to winning over the hearts and minds of Minnesota’s conservative, [...]
Camille Paglia is no conservative. In fact, Camille Paglia is no Republican. Camille Paglia is, in fact, a feminist Democrat. That’s why I found her latest piece at Salon.com so fascinating.
When I first saw the article, entitled, “Pelosi’s Victory for Women,” I thought, “Okay, here we go–another [...]

How are voters reacting to the Democrats' ramming Pelosicare through the House? It may be a coincidence, but in the Rasmussen survey the Republicans have jumped out to a six-point lead on the generic Congressional preference poll. It will be interesting to see whether this proves to be a' [...]
Chris Cillizza is a talented but partisan political reporter for the Washington Post. One of his specialties is purporting to draw lessons about political candidates from obscure and rather meaningless comments and events. Somehow, these lessons typically reflect favorably on liberal Democrats and unfavorably on conservative Republicans.
For example, I wrote [...]
Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going [...]
Here is the portion of the floor proceedings I wanted to highlight from last night. It starts with Democrat Waxman introducing Democrat Dingle. (emphasis mine) I didn’t highlight all the blatant lies, distortions, or misleading rhetoric, but just some of the more scary portions that expose how this is [...]
The basic asymmetry of American politics is that there are more conservatives than there are Republicans, while there are more Democrats than there are liberals. This is why Nancy Pelosi wasn't able to persuade anything like a unified caucus to vote for her government takeover of health care, and why' [...]
From the NRCC:
Tonight, Democrats chose to enrich trial lawyers; their political contributors while cutting Medicare benefits for seniors.
[...]If only Democrats had run on such a measure.
It was closer than I thought: 220-215, 39 Dems voting no and a solitary Republican — Joe Cao, who replaced “Dollar Bill” Jefferson in a blue district in Louisiana — voting yes. Take heart, righties: Reid is incompetent, which makes the [...]
For those not watching the debate on the House Heathcare, Democrat Rep. John Dingle gave the closing for the liberals, it was called Nationalized Health Care.
If anyone has the video or transcript of that, please send a link, the public needs to see that.
This is a Government takeover.
It would also [...]

Tim Walz wasn’t the only Democrat to botch a major announcement this week. As if channeling his inner RT Rybak, Walz fumbeld the ball when announcing that he would be suppoing the Democrat’s $1 trillion goverment-run healthcare bill.
Walz was set to hold a conference call annoucing his decision on the [...]
