House Dems: We’ll Pass Senate Obamacare Bill By Voting On Something Else (Updated)

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

It seems there is no bottom to the depths the House Democrat Leadership will plumb in search of a way to defeat American popular opinion and pass Obamacare.
The new low involves bypassing an actual House vote on the Senate Obamacare bill. It appears the Democrats simply don’t have the votes to pass the bill on [...]

House GOP “No New Earmarks” Pledge Nice, But Rings Hollow

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

Last night House Minority Leader John Boehner, together with nine other party leaders, took a pledge to drop the practice of earmarks in Congressional appropriations…
“For millions of Americans, the earmark process in Congress has become a symbol of a broken Washington. We believe the time has come for House Republicans to adopt an [...]

From NRO: Obamacare As Stalingrad

Posted on March 9th, 2010 by macaoidh

We’re flat-out stealing this from National Review Online. Jim Geraghty writes in his Morning Jolt (which you should definitely sign up to have delivered to your inbox every morning):
I compared the health-care fight to the Battle of Stalingrad the other day, not even realizing that William Jacobson had done the same: “Waterloo probably wasn’t the [...]

Charlie Melancon And The House Budget Committee

Posted on March 4th, 2010 by macaoidh

In an interesting bit of news today, Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-Napoleonville) has resigned his position on the House Budget Committee. What’s unclear is whether Melancon is making this move voluntarily or whether he’s being punished for voting against Obamacare.
According to Melancon, it’s his call. His people told TheHill.com that it’s really about his commitment to [...]

Posted on February 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) had a piece published at The Politico yesterday putting forth 10 incremental tweaks to the health-care system which he says would likely pass with ease in both houses of Congress and would help to drive down costs.
