Donor Wars: Media 1, Sensibility 0 Let’s summarize: A donor from the Democratic National Committee threatens to kill Republican Whip Eric Cantor in the same newscycle that a donor from the Republican National Committee gets financially reimbursed for going to a racy club in Los Angeles, but the old school news media lead with the GOP donor story. I’d actually argue that threatening to kill someone from the other party is a more serious offense and deserves serious attention – especially in light of the 4 day media frenzy over intimidation tactics after the vote to hijack healthcare. But maybe…

Democratic Whining Most of us know that violence and threats are completely unacceptable. And law enforcement officials can and should deal with anyone who uses violence to make their point. But the majority of Americans are ticked off and emotional about the Democratic healthcare take-over. And we aren’t going to be intimidated into backing down by members of Congress like Chris Van Hollen and James Clyburn who feign outrage but sound downright giddy with their new fundraising gimmick. “We are so outraged, so send us $5.” I’ve never seen so much whining from a majority party. While Democratic lawmakers and…

Rick Sanchez’s Show claims ‘technical difficulties’ in getting GOP Healthcare response. The day after the federal government hijacked 1/5 of the U.S. economy in order to give health insurance to unemployed 26 year olds was a giddy day for CNN’s Rick Sanchez. The 3pm EST host for the supposed cable news network in the middle couldn’t hold back his excitement for the healthcare hijack that had just taken place in Washington. Sanchez gave us 25 minutes of non-stop gloating from supporters of the healthcare take-over. Sanchez gave us Obama, Biden, Pelosi, more Obama, Biden’s over-the-top and profane characterization that this…

Media Matters Jumps to Defend Unsolicited White House Emails to Federal Employees Media Matters, the defender of liberal media, today jumped into the developing controversy and debate over White House Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle’s unsolicited White House emails to federal employees. Media Matters scolds and makes fun of CBS News and Fox News for highlighting the issue, calling the claims “pure speculation”. Ironically, Media Matters doesn’t deny that the unsolicited emails have been sent but rather they defend the emails by saying, “it appears they are sent out to everyone on the whitehouse.gov mailing list.” Well, duh. That’s the…

cbsnews.com: unsolicited white house emails may be a problem

Is The White House Scaring Federal Workers Into Campaigning for Healthcare Reform? The White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle has been feverishly sending out unsolicited email messages to federal employees in an effort to build support for President Barack Obama’s health reform package over the last several weeks. DeParle’s unsolicited emails have been regularly coming to some federal employees’ official government email inboxes for weeks without permission or request, causing some federal employees to feel threatened by the overt political language.

politico.com Jane Harman is MIA Nancy Pelosi is manipulating the legislative process away from an open and transparent one and into a secret system where her chosen few will be the only ones who know what is in a healthcare bill that will systematically change the way everyone in America receives and pays for their health insurance. Should this process really be a horse trade within the Democratic Party? And where is the Obama promise that the process would be completely transparent to the American people. The American people are watching closely to see which members of Congress vote for…

If President Barack Obama gets his trillion dollar healthcare bill passed this week by the Democrats in Congress, parents will be required to pay for their unmarried kids’ healthcare coverage until the age of 26. And Generation Y will be enticed to continue slacking, without a job, well past college graduation. While ski bums everywhere are cheering the news that the federal government will be forcing parents to pay for their health insurance through age 26, parents are questioning why the federal government is enticing a whole generation to stay unemployed. America has always been a place where hard work…

San Diego Union-Tribune editorial on Steve Poizner by Richard Grenell Poizner’s Iran Campaign Shows He Has Guts and Vision Divestment from South Africa for its official policy of racial segregation started in California in 1977 when students began to organize and protest the fact that Stanford University was investing in companies doing business in South Africa. The United States Federal Government officially joined the divestment fight in 1986 and apartheid officially ended after a long battle when the South African elections were held in 1994. While divestment campaigns for social injustices have been highly controversial, there is no question that…
