No Surprise Dems Don't Have The Votes
By Carole on Nov 6, 2009 | Comment »
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) admitted today that Democrats don't have the 218 votes needed to pass the $1.2 trillion health care reform legislation commonly known as Obamacare. The vote was scheduled for Saturday but Democrats are now acknowledging it may be pushed back. (source) Why the delay? It seems many Democrats in the House aren't as stupid as their leadership thinks they are.
2009 Election Results: NOBAMA

The message from the voters was clear as Republicans took the Governor's mansion in both Virginia and New Jersey; two states which only a year ago voted to put Barack Obama in the Oval Office. Voters said a resounding no to Democrats and the Obama message in these two pivotal elections; results that will almost certainly sway many moderate Democrats in Congress from supporting the president's far left agenda.
Corzine Knows It's Not About Corzine

President Obama attended two rallies on Sunday in support of New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine's bid for re-election. After a speech in which the president said Mr. Corzine was key to Mr. Obama's own agenda, the Governor took the stage to a Stevie Wonder tune (a standard during the Obama campaign) and claimed a victory on Tuesday would help him support the White House, "Today I am standing with President Obama. That tells you everything you need to know." (source)
Even Deeds Knows It's Not About Deeds

In these final days of the campaign for the Virginia Governor's office, Democrats have dropped all pretense of the race having anything at all to do with the state of Virginia. Standard procedure at this stage of a modern campaign calls for volunteers to span out to every neighborhood leaving a pamphlet or flyer or some other promotional item at every door. Democrat Creigh Deeds' campaign workers are doing exactly that but the promotional material with which they are papering the state of Virginia barely mentions the actual candidate while prominently featuring the man this election is really about for their party.
Another Bad Day In Obama Land
By Carole on Oct 27, 2009 | Comment »
It hasn't been a good day for Team Obama today. Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) just announced that he would back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health care reform bill. According to the Senator, "We're trying to do too much at once," Lieberman said. “To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt. I don’t think we need it now." (source) In case there was any doubt, Senator Lieberman's statement guarantees that Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) will not have the votes he needs to get his health care reform bill passed.
