Michael Moore was kind enough to send us an email this morning. We thought we’d share with you his mocking, lecture, which he addressed to all republicans.
You better get used used to it. Now that Obamacare has passed, and the march to socialism is on, full speed ahead, from our Salinsky-trained, ridiculing president at the top, all the way down to slime like Michael Moore in the gutters of the far left, they are coming after you, with taunting derision now that their Chicago-style “do anything it takes” party of vermin has beaten us on this pivotal issue.
Fellow seekers of liberty: harness the outrage you feel from the volley of jeering attacks to come, out of the lying mouths of those we most despise, to sustain your anger, and channel it into every productive thing you can do to both repeal this bill and to remove the corrupt democrats and any irresolute republicans from office this November.

Pelosi says, “We’re doing this for the American people.” Protester shouts, “You’re doing this to the American people”
Well, that just about sums it up. No comment necessary from us.
OK, go ahead and say it. “You guys at IHateTheMedia.com have some strange reading habits.”
That being said, Graham Ford writes in his laugh-filled article “The Ancient Art of Bloodletting” that “The practice of bloodletting seemed logical when the foundation of all medical treatment was based on the four body humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Health was thought to be restored by purging, starving, vomiting or bloodletting.”

Admittedly this is all horrible sounding stuff. Bloodletting, vomiting, starving, purging, Botox (OK, we stuck that last one in there) are all ancient remedies that no one in their right mind would ever recommend. No one.
But given the Democrats’ proclivity for re-doing things that have been tried before and then using the “Hey, if it was good enough for them, it’s good enough for us” defense, we wouldn’t be surprised if all of these practices may soon be coming your way again.
Think of it this way. If these ancient treatments are once again utilized, ObamaCare will, in fact, reduce healthcare costs. Unfortunately, that will occur only as a nasty side effect of shrinking the population.
Speaking of bloodletting, how much longer until November?

Democrat Louise Slaughter, namesake of the aptly named Slaughter Solution, is in contention to take the Dumbest Member of Congress title away from Nancy Pelosi.
In this clip, Republican Paul Ryan tries to explain his healthcare solution. In fact, he tries repeatedly. But Slaughter is either too dumb to understand what he’s saying or she plays dumb.

How many days until the November election?
All of a sudden Democrats are singing the praises of the Congressional Budget Office.
But quick, who were the three biggest critics of the CBO back in July of 2009? If you said Pelosi, Dodd and Obama, you win.
All of a sudden Democrats are singing the praises of the Congressional Budget Office.
But quick, who were the three biggest critics of the CBO back in July of 2009? If you said Pelosi, Dodd and Obama, you win.
It seems that back when the CBO was asking if Congress was smoking crack, or words to that effect, Nancy Pelosi and company didn’t think the CBO was so “wonderful” and “precise.”
Back then, the Queen of Congress said, “..it’s always been a source of, yes, I will say frustration, for many of us in Congress that the CBO will always give you the worst case scenario on one initiative and never … any credit for anything that happens if you have early intervention, health care. If you have prevention, if you have wellness … you name any positive investment that we make, that we know reduces cost, brings money to the Treasury in the case of education but never scored positively by the CBO. Yes, it is frustrating.”
Chris Dodd also bitched about how unfair the CBO was saying “One of the things that’s disappointing about CBO — and frustrating — is all the work…done on prevention” that the CBO doesn’t factor in.”
But no one was less in love with the CBO than The Greatest President In History, who said during one of those White-House-Goes-to-a-Townhall episodes “…the CBO, which sort of polices what all various programs cost, they’re not willing to credit us with those savings. They say, ‘That may be nice, that may save a lot of money, but we can’t be certain.’ So we expect that not only are we going to pay for health care reform in a deficit-neutral way, but that’s it also going to achieve big savings across the system — including in the private sector where the Congressional Budget Office never gives us any credit — but if hospitals and doctors are starting to operate in a smarter way, that’s going to help you even if you’re not involved in a government system.”
But now everything is wonderful with the CBO, Congress and, of course, President Obama.
So what changed? Well, it could have been the unprecedented calling of the head of the CBO Douglas Elmendorf to the White House, where he was personally educated by the Greatest Professor In History on numbers, health care and stuff.
As one wit said, think of it as baseball umpires visiting the owner’s box.
Monty Hall would be proud.

Through outright bribery and/or threats to reveal photos of recalcitrant Democrats in compromising positions with farm animals, Obama is on the verge of having enough votes to cram this bloated pig of a bill down he throats of an unwilling electorate.
Earth to Obama: the American people don’t want your stinkin’ healthcare plan.
Ahhh, who do we think we’re kidding. This president doesn’t give a good god damn what the American people want.
Here’s how Rasmussen describes the situation:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.
Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. While some portions of the plan are popular, others are not. Most voters oppose the proposed Medicare savings and the taxes involved. As a result, most voters continue to oppose the legislation. Just 20% of voters believe that most Members of Congress will understand the proposed health care bill before they vote on it. From a political perspective, 50% are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
Nevertheless, through outright bribery and/or threats to reveal photos of recalcitrant Democrats in compromising positions with farm animals, Obama is on the verge of having enough votes to cram this bloated pig of a bill down he throats of an unwilling electorate.
Consider this the Democrats version of democracy in action.

Here’s something we’ve never done before. We’re going to flat out quote from a Republican party press release. And due to today’s extreme circumstances, we’re happy to do it.
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) requesting that the final health care votes be recorded by “call of the roll” so that every lawmaker is required to publicly announce their vote on the House floor.
“This weekend’s votes will be among the most consequential votes we will ever cast as Members of Congress,” Boehner says in the letter to Speaker Pelosi. “As such, it is my belief that every Member should stand before the American people and announce his or her vote as the final decision is made.”
According to the rules of the House of Representatives, “Unless the Speaker directs otherwise, the Clerk shall conduct a record vote or quorum call by electronic device. … The Speaker may direct the Clerk to conduct a record vote or quorum call by call of the roll. In such a case the Clerk shall call the names of Members, alphabetically by surname.”
The problem here is that Boehner addressed his letter to “The Honorable Nancy Pelosi” and the thinking here is that she may be confused by the term honorable.
Seriously. At what point does reality overwhelm tradition and hoary, honorific titles get relegated to the trash bin of history?

Joe Biden’s a buffoon. We’re pretty sure that even the extreme left couldn’t deny that assessment. But the good thing about Joe is that he’s not smart enough to lie when he should.
Like in this clip where he flat out admits that one of the goals of ObamaCare is to control the insurance companies.

Coburn: I want to send a couple messages to my colleagues in the House. If you voted no and you vote yes and you lose your election, and you think any nomination to a federal position isn’t going to held in the Senate, I’ve got news for you. It’s going to be held.
If you think you can cut a deal now and it not come out until after the election, I want to tell you that isn’t going to happen and be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House…
Broun: I have three simple questions Ms Pelosi. Are you so arrogant that you think you know what’s best for the American people? Are you so ignorant that you are oblivious to the wishes of the American people? And are you so incompetent that you are going to ignore the Constitution of the United States, use tricks, deceptions, bald faced lies to try to ram down the throat of the American people something that they do not want and is going to be absolutely worse for their healthcare?…”

We’ve been out of town for a couple days and apparently missed the story about that horrible Hawaiian earthquake.
President Obama told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he supports “The Louisiana Purchase” in Obamacare because it will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.

President Obama told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he supports “The Louisiana Purchase” in Obamacare because it will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.
Obama: It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that’s not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
Of course, there’s been no devastating Hawaiian earthquake. Did he mean Haiti? Or Chile? Or has he given up cigarettes and returned to the wacky tabacky?
South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham thinks the Democrats are drunk. Or even worse. Here’s what the wobby Republican had to say about the Slaughter Strategy.
South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham thinks the Democrats are drunk. Or even worse. Here’s what the wobby Republican had to say about the Slaughter Strategy:
“They’re trying to use a process that is sleazy, it’s unfair, it’s a trick play. They’re trying to have a health care bill passed without voting on it. So my comments really reflect the fanaticism of the Democratic leadership, and I don’t know whether sake or moonshine, but no sober person would do this.”
The concept of drinking Democrats isn’t all that far-fetched as you can see here and here and here and here.
The Democrats obviously miss Teddy Kennedy’s unsteady hand. If they’re going to drink, he would have been their natural leader.

It was just announced that the President Obama’s trip has been canceled. Expect celebrations to break out in Jakarta.
UPDATE: It was just announced that the President’s trip has been canceled. Expect celebrations to break out in Jakarta.
To go or not to go, that is the question.
Should President Obama delay his Indonesian trip to satisfy House Democrats? Or should he cancel is completely to satisfy protesting Indonesians?
Politico reports on the House Democrats:
Last week, the president pushed back his planned Friday departure three days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats groused he was leaving at a critical time.
“For the first time in eight months, the president is finally getting his hands dirty, and now he’s going to hop on the plane? Please,” said a Democratic congressman, requesting anonymity.
“These deadlines are sort of silly,” the member added. “Remember the first one? March 18th? That was sort of like putting a calendar on [White House chief of staff] Rahm’s [Emanuel’s] back and inviting members to throw darts at him.”
Another Democrat told POLITICO bluntly, “This trip is really getting in the way of things.”
Ahhh, but if the Democrats think they’re pissed off about Obama’s Indonesian trip, they should talk to some Indonesians.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the other end of the story:
Thousands of Indonesian Muslims have staged peaceful rallies in cities across the country to protest US President Barack Obama’s visit later this month.
Around 2,000 protesters from the hardline Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir, which aims to establish a Muslim caliphate, shouted “Islam united… will not be defeated. Reject Obama” and tore printouts of the American flag as they marched around the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar on Sunday.
In Central Java’s Solo city, another 500 of the group’s supporters carried posters saying “Expel Obama.. leader of coloniser” and “America.. The Real Terrorists”.
“There are two types of visitors, good and bad. Obama is bad. He might be of a different skin colour from George Bush, but he still oppressed the Muslims,” the group’s spokesman Nur Alam said, referring to former US president George W. Bush.
Hey, wait just a second. Didn’t Obama apologize to the Muslim world? We thought they love us now.
There’s only one way to solve this problem, President Obama. Go over there to Indonesia and give them another speech. Because that approach has worked sooooo well for you on ObamaCare.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in Washington, along comes something like this… Politically speaking, this is beyond sleazy… In Nancy Pelosi’s world, accountability is a dirty word… Republicans are jumping all over this, rightfully so. They’re painting it as a way for Democrats to avoid taking responsibility, which is exactly what it is… We’re learning a lot more about lack of political guts… This reeks!
Uh-oh. No matter whether the bill goes up or down, Obama and the Democrats are going down.

Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, President Obama said that ObamaCare will reduce health insurance premiums for businesses by “3,000 percent.” Now that’s what we call stimulus! Considering a 100% reduction would result in premiums of zero, just think how much money a business will actually make with the other 2,900%!
