Senator Mark Begich is open to using reconciliation for health reform. From a letter to a constituent: Thank you for contacting me regarding health care reform. The reconciliation process is a budgetary tool used to address spending and deficit issues with a simple majority vote. The budget reconciliation process has been used 22 times […]
Obama Retains More Trust Than Republican Leaders On Health Reform #p2 #tcot #hcr
It’s a truism that when the parties battle, some independents and non-political people turn off to both parties. But that hides the fact that there are winners and losers in the battle for public opinion. One big loser is health insurance companies, but they are only marginally less trusted than Republican Congressional leaders. This […]
Just a wonderful feel good story. Humanity still has hope #p2 #tcot
March 5, 2010 Just before he became a father, Colbert Williams left home because his family was too poor to take care of him. As he remembers it, "My mother didn’t have a place for me to go." Williams and his son discussed their strong bond at StoryCorps in Michigan. But in a "prequel" […]
Stupak Wrong & GOP Wrong Senate Bill Does Not Pay For Abortion #p2 #hcr #tcot
ABC has fact checked whether the Senate bill pays for abortion. It does not. LISTEN.
Conservatives Turn Against Liz Cheney – As Bad As McCarthy
The backlash is growing against Liz Cheney after she demonized Department of Justice attorneys as terrorist sympathizers for their past legal work defending Gitmo detainees — and now it’s coming from within deeply conservative legal circles. On Friday, the conservative blog Power Line put up a post titled, "An Attack That Goes Too Far." […]
Daily Kos: More on the Lost Decade, Courtesy of Cheney-Bush #p2 #tcot
Let’s put blame where it belongs. Just about any way you look at it, the country got smacked around from January 2001 to January 2009. Aside from its wretched foreign policy, violations of human rights and civil liberties, nowhere did the Bush administration pound us harder than on the economy. Despite this, the Republican […]
TruthFightsBack – Climate Change #p2 #tcot
If we ever needed a great example of how Washington is broken, we got it this week. One Republican Senator spent days using every procedural trick he could to delay an extension of unemployment benefits in the worst economy we’ve had in decades. Only the overwhelming attention to the issue caused the other side […]
America’s most wanted #p2 #hcr #tcot
When Big Insurance CEOs return to Washington next week on March 9th, we’re going to be ready for them. We’ve gathered a massive posse to arrest these scallywags for crimes against the people – crimes like denying our care and letting people die because they don’t have insurance.1 And we’re going after the insurance lobbyists […]
The White Sisters Won – Zeta Tau Alpha v Alpha Kappa Alpha #p2 #tcot
I have watched stepping for years, a staple of black fraternities and black sororities. On February 20th there was a competition, the Sprite Step Off sponsored by Coca Cola. Zeta Tau Alpha won the competition after the judging and won $100,000 in scholarships. Subsequently Sprite claimed that they made a “scoring discrepancy” and that AKA […]
Daily Kos: 2010: The tide is turning #p2 #tcot
Great analysis by KOS. The real intent of the GOP is to demoralize the left causing them to stay home. As I have always said, an informed electorate is an unbeatable one. Election prognosticator Charlie Cook (who I like and respect) has been quick to trash Democratic chances this November. Just a few short […]
