WSJ - Democrats' blues grow deeper in new poll - Comment:
The "Tea Party" movement is now outpolling both political parties -
higher "favorables" and lower "unfavorables". That is no reason
for complacency or arrogance. It just means the base is forming
for 2010 blowback. |

Porkulus 2. |
|
December 12, 2009 -
Senate GOP denied on spending filibuster attempt - Comment:
Another $1.1 trillion in spending for major increases in government
spending programs, including 5,224 pet projects costing $3.9 billion.
Lots of earmarks for Christmas! Remember this in 2010
elections! |
|
December 11, 2009 -
Dem leader urges debt limit increase of $1.8-1.9T - Comment:
Pretending once again that the "blue dogs" are fiscal conservatives
while setting the stage to ram through this huge debt limit increase now
so that it won't be necessary to raise it again just before the 2010
election. |
|
December 11, 2009 -
US health care tab to keep growing under overhaul - Comment:
Health care costs are predicted to go up more with the proposed bill
than without it. Leave it to government to figure out how to make a bad
situation even worse - and that's just the initial projection of the
damage. Imagine how bad the eventual reality could be.
Kill the bill - before it kills us. |
|
December 11, 2009 -
Health care loophole would allow coverage limits - Comment:
Sneaking a cap on insurance benefits back into the bill. Who will
define "reasonable" limits? Death panels? |
|
December 10, 2009 -
House approves $1.1 trillion spending measure - Comment:
Complete with 5000+ pet projects - everything except a partridge in a
pear tree to try to buy votes in 2010. |

House adopts spending measure over GOP protests - Outrageous. |

December 2, 2009 -
Rumsfeld Cries Foul on Obama Claim Troop Requests for Afghanistan Were
Denied - Comment: Too polite to shout "You lie!"
He's just asking Congress to verify the facts since Obama asserted that
troop requests by commanders were repeatedly denied.
The West Point cadets had to applaud politely on cue and
try to stay awake or stifle yawns and appear respectful during the
speech, but Rumsfeld is under no such constraints now - like Cheney. |

Explanation
of the News Archive feature |
| Note
that at www.Breitbart.com you can
see reader comments about the articles by following the "Show Comments"
link which is found at the bottom of each article. Since most
articles no longer show up for visitors there within 24 hours, many
articles have few comments unless they were very hot topics that day.
The AP often releases multiple versions of the same story, even with
very minor revisions, in which case a new page is created for each
version. That causes reader comments to be scattered across
multiple versions of the story. We do not attempt to link to every
version of the story. |
| At
some point links may no longer work because the other websites involved
will purge their content, but a Google search for the same headline may
still find them through other sources for reference. |
| This
tool was created to make it easier for conservative voters to go back
and find relevant political stories long after they have disappeared
from the current headlines. In some cases these stories were
hardly even mentioned at the time in the liberal news media, or quickly
disappeared from the news, so many voters may be completely unaware of
them. Some of the stories display obvious bias by the reporters,
but readers can be the judge of that. The comments reflect our own
editorial opinion on these stories. |
