3 Well aren't you just a freakin' ray of sunshine.

4 Well, guess what.

The original number - the one Slappy was crowing about, was 3.5%.. A 60% overstatement.. The first revision, was still overstated by 27%.

Now, just apply their sloppy accounting to their wonderful Health Care Bill.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The economy in the U.S. expanded in the third quarter at a slower pace than anticipated as companies curbed spending and cut inventories at an even faster pace, reductions that have set the stage for acceleration in growth.

The 2.2 percent increase in gross domestic product from July through September compares with a 2.8 percent gain previously reported by the Commerce Department in Washington.

3rd quarter GDP number being revised downward is all Bush's fault!

Demand the People's vengeance!
Today tis theirs. Tomorrow we
Shall don the Cap of Libertie!"

33 New Rasmussen has Obama at -21 in the passion index with disapproval at 56%. This is the highest to date. 44-56 approval/disapproval for -12. maybe this will start to move the rcp average in a meaningful way.

OBAMA FALLS TO -21 ON RASMUSSEN with only 44% overall approval:

Looks like the predicted "spike in support to 60%" that the des were predicting after they rammed through Obamacare won't be happening.  Color me NOT surprised.

With 46% STRONG DISAPPROVE, Obama is within a few points actually having a majority strong disapprove. Democrats really are on a suicide mission.

48 Here is how you kill this bill.

Sometimes, an analogy can cut the heart out of an imprudent argument. The Democrats argue that health care is a Constitutional right. They plan to force every citizen to purchase a "qualifying" insurance product. They plan to fine, or possibly jail, those who refuse to purchase this product. Enter the Second Amendment. The Constitutional right to own a firearm. What would prevent a conservative Congress and President from making the ownership of a firearm mandatory? What would preclude them from compiling a list of "qualifying" firearms? Why couldnÂ’t this gang force the "rich" to subsidize the provision of firearms for the poor? Nothing! Not one thing. Take it. Run with it.

49 And, I'm still wondering why, the two stupid cows from Washington State didn't get the same sweetheart deal as Nelson got for Nebraska, or Landrieu got for Louisiana.

50 Gallup's companion piece to Rasmussen: only 49% approve.

Why in hell the Congressional Dems are helping to save his newbie promise-breaking Halfrican ass with a "health" "care" "reform" "victory" is beyond me. They ought to save their own asses and leave him to the blandishments of the Chicagoans.

Looks like the troubles in the House are just starting for Obumblescare. From Jake Tapper's Twitter.

"Top Senate Democratic aide says the House's high-income surtax is dead on arrival;ditto public option;shld be a fun conference."

63 OT, but I have a few questions. If they betray my ignorance, please accept my apologies in advance.

If we are to start paying now, but the program does not go into effect until 2014, what is the actual mechanism by which we fund this POS? Will the government be sending notices to insurance companies that they have to change their policies immediately, to conform with the regs in the ObamaCare Bill? Will non-compliant policies be cancelled, before the government has had time to put anything in their place? If so, does this mean fines for non-compliance start immediately? As in, before the 2010 election, with the disastrous results that could result for the left?

I get the feeling no one, save for a few bureaucrats/lobbyists/legislative aides really knows the answers to some really basic questions, and if we can tease those answers out, we could have great ammo to use against Teh Won and his minions.

“This is a real debate over whether or not health care is going to be a right or privilege in America,” said Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, a member of the Democratic leadership. “If you believe itÂ’s a privilege for the rich, then youÂ’ll vote against this. If you believe itÂ’s a right, then I hope youÂ’ll vote with us.” Durbin spoke on the Senate floor before the vote.

Only "the rich" have health care? I don't wish ill on anyone but I'd like to see Dickless Dirtbag get fed to a pack of rabid wolves.

Nobody knows whats in the bill, because noone has seen it yet as far as I know. Most of the Dems are just blindly voting for it to give Barry a Christmas present . Either way, as vanilla as it may be in the beginning it's still a Trojan Horse, the camel getting its head in the tent so to speak. Check out this quote from Harkin:

“It will be revisited,” Harkin said. “This is just the beginning. … What we’re building is a starter home, not a mansion. And guess what? We have room for expansions and additions later on.”

What a fucking loser.

73 I have a question about the abortion fee that is in the senate bill....If abortion is a woman's right and as a male, I have no say in whether or not to abort a pregnancy, why do I as a male have to pay into a fund that could be used for abortions?....something that I will never need and something the Supreme Court says I have no standing in terms of objecting to or advocating for where my wife or girlfriend are concerned.

Could there be all sorts of constitutional issues that could derail this bill after the fact? Would parts of the bill be struck down or is there a critical mass of issues that would invalidate the whole thing?

74 Eh, I'm too sick to write something new so I'll recycle this: Hark the hairy vermin sing Whoring for the fed funding. Peace on Earth, and Dems gone wild, God, what sinners in the aisle!

The jurys out, though they're in doubt, the kossacks are revolting,
While follow all the comic tale of Biden, grim and daring.
But O Bush! Bush! Bush!
O the swelled and phantom head!
Now mocking truth, freedom lies
Fallen cold and dead.

O people! Dear people! rise up and take the bait;
Rise up! For you the shite is flung, for you the kossacks wait:
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths, for freedom's scalp a'bringing:
For you they wait, the seething mob, their eager faces turning.
Here people! Dear people!
It's Cheney in your head;
It is some dream and woven web,
Rham prays your logic's dead.

III.
The cloture did not snag him, his lips are taught and thin;
He's free to walk and talk the talk and Nancy's off her ken;
The law is finished safe and sound, its cozen closed and done;
From hoax and tripe and Barack's shite awaits the object won!
Exult, O Times, and gull, O Post!
But I with mournful dread,
Walk the rue where freedom lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

This morning we all woke up in a bannana republic without representative democracy where the Constitution has been mocked and subverted. Malor can say what he wants, but everyone I've seen on the right so far this morning says it indeed has after actions last night in the Senate chamber.

We are well on our way down the road to serfdom. The question is, what are we gonna do about it?  I fear in the end, our votes won't be enough.

In all seriousness, I was listening to one of my senators, Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas, on the WBAP/Mark Davis Show. She said the republicans in the senate will challenge the constitutionality of the bill on the floor over things like Ben Nelson's and Mary Landreiu's special deals and individual mandates.

86 Regarding that Yearning for Zion raid, the lamestream media will hang that and related stories around Mitt Romney's neck like a plutonium millstone come 2012. 2010 if he campaigns for GOP congressional candidates.

Why is Obama Such a Failure?

"What's costing the president are three things: a laissez faire style of leadership that appears weak and removed to everyday Americans, a failure to articulate and defend any coherent ideological position on virtually anything, and a widespread perception that he cares more about special interests like bank, credit card, oil and coal, and health and pharmaceutical companies than he does about the people they are shafting." Drew Westen, Leadership Obama Style

I think it is more that last of the three than anything else, and explains the others. Obama is captive to special interests, as are many of the key members of the Congress, and the Obama Administration, and the Federal Reserve. And I should add his two predecessors.

It explains why he cannot articulate a coherent ideological position and make it stick. Make no mistake, he is a smart and verbally adept individual, a gifted person intellectually. But he cannot adhere to principles because he has abandoned whatever principles he may have had to serve a variety of corrupting interests. And he appears laissez faire and distant because he is a figurehead, a household servant, and not in control.

What makes Obama a greater failure than either Bush or Clinton is that he was elected on the promise of reform, a promised change, a political renewal in a country sickened by the erosion if not betrayal of its republic by men who view the Constitution as 'just a goddam piece of paper.'

102 Well he is a Dr. so it does fill out a little bit more of the picture.

107 Harry Reid this AM:

Can't we all just get along?

108 I don't mind incumbent Dems flipping parties as long as they do so early enough that have to survive a Republican primary.  The only exception would be a committe chair who could kill something hanging on until the last minute.

109 I'm guessing from his record he just figured he might as well flip and try to keep his seat since he was more conservative than some of the Repubs in the house anyway.

110 Imagine being one of the 'Blue Dogs' who were courted by Howard Dean to run in conservative districts, finding yourself dropped into the most liberal Congress ever, pushing the most radical agenda in American history, violating rules and procedures and passing legislation that hasn't even been written yet.  You're a freshman Representative and you're being told, even threatened, to do what you're told even though it's as popular with your voters as herpes.

Why NOT switch?  The Ds are making you commit political suicide to further the San Francisco Agenda-- why NOT join an increasingly popular minority and actually get to vote the way you want?

I'd been expecting defections before this.  Frankly, if the GOP isn't fomenting this to the limit of the law and its ability, it deserves to go the way of the Whigs.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
