WH had Clinton try to ease Sestak out of Pa. race - Why would
Bill Clinton agree to do this for Obama or Rahm Emanuel? Surely he

spin this one for the White House? |

need more "big government ideas" and "solutions". Those just keep

your changes. |
|
May 23, 2010 -

illusory solution by the same people who brought you the first failure.

US senators blast Arizona-China rights comparison - Michael
Posner has been a loose cannon on deck in relations with China from the
start. A complete ideological disaster. The fact that he was
confirmed by the Senate just shows how urgently it needs to be changed.
Does anybody else remember Posner's role
last October - November in
preparations for Obama's trip to China, when they were trying to get
China to agree to cap and trade policies as a way to help push it
through the Copenhagen summit and Congress? Was that a "human
rights" issue, as his alleged area of prior expertise and his
responsibility at the State Department? |

about Washington money. |
|
May 10, 2010 -
Rule change favors unions at airlines, railroads - In case you
missed it, this is the latest atrocity. It's clearly payback to
the unions, changing a 76 year old rule to help them. Don't miss
the
explanatory video on BigGovernment about union interests in UPS vs.
FedEx. Meanwhile, note
S.3194 by Harry Reid to force recognition of unions for local
police, firefighters. |

way", again. |
|
May 1, 2010 -
Obama takes direct aim at anti-government rhetoric - It's not
that government is inherently bad. It's that progressive
politicians deliberately create harmful and costly government programs,
regardless of any alleged good intentions. Limited government
limits their damage. |
|
May 1, 2010 -
Liberals struggle to challenge Dems on health care - They're not
really in a position to "punish" those who didn't back their agenda.
Their focus is on saving themselves. They aren't really
going after people like Blanche Lincoln. They realize that she will lose
- and they don't want to lose that seat with her, because it will make
it harder to keep pushing their agenda. They just don't want others to
cave in while they continue to try to ram through as much of their
radical progressive agenda as possible before November. After
that, gridlock is back. |

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. |
