Michelle Bachmann on the Democrat health care plan

She drives the left nuts. George Will wrote about her in a recent column. What makes Michelle Bachmann catch peoples’ attention? She’s smart. She speaks in plain language. She doesn’t engage in doublespeak or pander. THAT is what people want in their politicians… The Washington News Observer had a chance to interview the Minnesota congresswoman …

Smart Meters courtesy of Big Bro’

In their 1975 album, “Wish You Were Here,” Pink Floyd sang of an all-knowing machine: “Welcome my son, welcome to the machine. Where have you been? It’s alright we know where you’ve been. You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time…” More recently, the band Velvet Revolver (featuring Slash of Guns n Roses fame on …

BREAKING NEWS: Shea Porter gets nod from Pelosi to unveil Dem healthcare takeover plan

  If voting for Pelosi’s partisan agenda 97% of the time didn’t convince you that Carol Shea-Porter is Pelosi’s puppet, then today’s news should. Her partisan loyalty earned her a top spot in the unveiling of the Democrats’ trillion dollar healthcare legislation, a bill that cuts Medicare, raises taxes and forces millions of Americans to find …

Pawlenty on the “opt-out” alternative: “It’s really a sham.”

I happened to catch Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on Greta Van Susteren last night and, once again, I couldn’t help but find myself groovin’ to what he had to say.

18 months could be 24 then 36 and then, who knows? Saving some REAL dollars…

The State is awash in red ink.  Everywhere you look there are new taxes and fees, while existing taxes and fees have been substantially increased.  And to top it all off, the Legislature just held a “tax summit” to talk about how to take even more of our money.  Yet no attempt is made to …

Health Insurance profits – not QUITE what the Dems are saying!

A condensation I found at Townhall confirms what I’ve said before – the Democrats (Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, et al) distort the numbers because they know that most Americans can’t tell you the difference between profits and profit margins.  They have distorted the profits of the energy companies to push their agenda of forcing Americans …
