Palin to tea party rally: Don't sit down, shut up:
SEARCHLIGHT, Nev. (AP) - Sarah Palin told thousands of tea party activists assembled in the dusty Nevada desert Saturday that Sen. Harry Reid will have to explain his votes when he comes back to his hometown to campaign.
The wind whipped U.S. flags behind the former Alaska governor as she stood on a makeshift stage, holding a microphone and her notes and speaking to a cheering crowd. She told them Reid, fighting for re-election, is 'gambling away our future.'
'Someone needs to tell him, this is not a crapshoot,' Palin said."

AT&T to Book $1 Billion Cost on Health-Care Reform (Update3) - BusinessWeek:
March 26 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Inc. will book $1 billion in first-quarter costs related to the health-care law signed this week by President Barack Obama, the most of any U.S. company so far.

The economy is crumbling....jobless over 10% - theoretical 17 plus %....States budgets are cracking like pond ice in Spring....and they turn their laser focus on.....bike paths. Not that I have a thing against bike safety.....
But bike paths as a priority?

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced a “major policy revision” that aims to give bicycling and walking the same policy and economic consideration as driving.

The headline above provides the exact amount of outstanding public debt as of Tuesday, according to the latest available figures from the U.S. Treasury. By the time you read this, that figure will have increased by $17,338,324,977...
...The current debt, however, is the least of our problems. According to the Social Security and Medicare trustees, Social Security has made $17.5 trillion in future promises that it has no money to fulfill. Add to this amount Medicare's unfunded liabilities of $89.3 trillion, and the grand total is $106.8 trillion. That means each household's share of current and future debt is a staggering $1.1 million.

'Go for it,' Obama tells GOP on health repeal:
President Barack Obama mocked Republicans' campaign to try to repeal his new health care law, saying Thursday they should 'Go for it' and see how well they fare with voters.
'Be my guest,' Obama said in prepared remarks for the first of many appearances around the country to sell the overhaul to voters before the fall congressional elections. 'I welcome that fight. Because I don't believe the American people are going to put the insurance industry back in the driver's seat.'"

The Real Cost of Health Care Legislation
The Real Cost of Health Care Legislation:
When White House chief of staff Rahm Emanual lobbied Democratic Representative Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania last week to vote for the health care bill, he argued it would cut the deficit. “You ran because you care about the deficit,” he told Altmire, according to the Washington Post. “This is north of $1 trillion in deficit reduction.” Shortly after the bill passed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered the exact number, claiming the bill would save “the taxpayers $1.3 trillion.”
Are these folks disingenuous or just dreaming? It has to be one or the other. Why? Because the evidence of spending projections for health care legislation passes tell a simple and unchanging story. The projections never come close to capturing the magnitude of spending that actually occurs. They prove to be wildly off the mark compared to real-life expenditures."

American Thinker: Anatomy of a Racial Smear
This had me worried from the get-go. I have been to several Tea Party events with large - HAPPY - POLITE crowds filled with Family's, kids, grandparents and just regular folk. I have seen the anger and frustration...but I have never seen what the Drive By Media ALWAYS sights when discussing a Tea Party gathering. I always put this down to they ( Liberals ) have no ability to argue their stance in the arena of ideas...so they just try and discredit the opposition through ridiculous allegations.
That being said.....any gathering of disparate individuals is more than likely going to bring out the Moonbats....lets face it - there are "Bats" on BOTH sides of the aisle. Hell, I own a small company of 9 people give or take. On any week I can name at least two of our employees who act like idiots. Out of character....yet they do. It's human nature.
That being said...I also wondered if - IF - this indeed took place, and it it rude and offensive on any level....who's to say they even belonged to the Tea Party? The other side is much better at playing dirty politics.....who's to say they weren't plants? Move-On.Org ring any faint bells? It seemed odd to me when I watched Nancy Pelosi and several political officials walking arm in arm through the crowd. Deliberately through the crowd they KNEW was hostile to their Bill, their vote. I knew right then it was an in your face moment...but why do it? Why that that "chance"? Perhaps because the scene was already set? I'm just throwing it out there....
They can be an arrogant bunch...but this seemed too weird - even for Pelosi. Perhaps they are far better at the ambush than we are. And I hope, if this is indeed the case...we never stoop to that level.
I printed that picture of "Nancy with the Laughing Gavel" and have it framed on my desk.....it gives me the strength and courage of my convictions every day to keep pushing back with what I KNOW to be right.
Perhaps that "staged ( I'm just sayin'...!? ) moment was just an "In Your Face America" moment ( though something tells me it wasn't )...and if that is so....then that image will too one day be mine.....
American Thinker: Anatomy of a Racial Smear:
For the last year, the media have been desperately trying to hang the 'racist' tag around the Tea Party movement as a way to discredit it. This past weekend, they would seem to have finally succeeded.
The McClatchy newspaper chain whose slogan is 'truth to power' launched an opening salvo on Saturday, March 20 with the inflammatory headline -- its exact words -- 'Tea party protesters scream 'nigger' at black congressman.' That is 'protestors' in the plural who 'scream' a racial epithet, 'nigger,' at a particular 'congressman.'"
That being said.....any gathering of disparate individuals is more than likely going to bring out the Moonbats....lets face it - there are "Bats" on BOTH sides of the aisle. Hell, I own a small company of 9 people give or take. On any week I can name at least two of our employees who act like idiots. Out of character....yet they do. It's human nature.
That being said...I also wondered if - IF - this indeed took place, and it it rude and offensive on any level....who's to say they even belonged to the Tea Party? The other side is much better at playing dirty politics.....who's to say they weren't plants? Move-On.Org ring any faint bells? It seemed odd to me when I watched Nancy Pelosi and several political officials walking arm in arm through the crowd. Deliberately through the crowd they KNEW was hostile to their Bill, their vote. I knew right then it was an in your face moment...but why do it? Why that that "chance"? Perhaps because the scene was already set? I'm just throwing it out there....
They can be an arrogant bunch...but this seemed too weird - even for Pelosi. Perhaps they are far better at the ambush than we are. And I hope, if this is indeed the case...we never stoop to that level.
I printed that picture of "Nancy with the Laughing Gavel" and have it framed on my desk.....it gives me the strength and courage of my convictions every day to keep pushing back with what I KNOW to be right.
Perhaps that "staged ( I'm just sayin'...!? ) moment was just an "In Your Face America" moment ( though something tells me it wasn't )...and if that is so....then that image will too one day be mine.....

Ten inconvenient truths about Obamacare
Ten inconvenient truths about Obamacare:
President Obama, with Vice President Biden at his side, makes a statement Sunday night following the final vote in the House for comprehensive health care legislation. (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)
President Obama is promising a massive campaign to sell the health care plan just approved by Congress -- starting with his signature on the Senate version of the legislation on Tuesday. The sales pitch begins even as the Senate considers a raft of modifications to the plan already approved by the House. But as the president makes his pitch, critics will be looking to knock down many of the central claims he and other Democratic leaders have made. Here are 10 inconvenient truths that could dog the president:
1. The cost of coverage will rise for the middle class."

Governors Blast HeathCare Takeover
Republican governors have released statements outlining their concerns with the federal government’s takeover of the entire health care system – a massive shift in policy which will blow wide holes in state budgets, kill jobs, drive up costs, increase taxes and restrict freedom of Americans’ medical choices. [our italics]
Some Republican governors and candidates for governors are also exploring legal avenues to preserve health care freedom. Last week, Idaho Governor Butch Otter signed legislation requiring his state’s attorney general to challenge the federal law in court. In Virginia, Governor Bob McDonnell will sign Wednesday the Virginia Health Care Freedom Act which says no individual shall be held liable if they refuse to sign up for health care insurance.
In addition, the Attorneys General from at least ten states are expected to file a lawsuit opposing the health care legislation. Participating Attorneys General are expected to include Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, and Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett, all candidates for governor.

There’s no fixing the government health care takeover Democrats forced through on Sunday. It must be repealed.
After telling Americans in 2008 that they would lower spending, taxes and insurance premiums, Democrats passed a bill that breaks every promise. Using secret deals, kickbacks and carve-outs, Democratic leaders jammed through legislation to control more than one-sixth of the nation’s economy.
The plan will explode the national debt, raise $569.2 billion in new taxes, force taxpayers to fund abortions, and impose unconstitutional mandates on every American."

The Day Health Care Died
ObamaCare will put over one trillion dollars into the health care system. To do this without fundamentally reforming the reason for rising health care costs is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Further expanding the role of government in the health care sector will only serve to accelerate current trends. It will drown an industry already regulated to death with a slew of new mandates, regulations, red tape, and taxes that simultaneously will hinder patients from receiving desired care. [our emphasis]
