Good News

The Senate blocked an amendment that would have restricted use of federal funds for abortion in the health care bill. That means that most Democrats want abortion funding to be part of the bill. That means that pro-life Democrats are more likely to vote against the whole thing. So the socialists are being sunk by the eugenists.

Unite your side + divide their side = win.

On the other hand, it could just mean that we’ll all be working hard to abort babies if this thing passes somehow. We’ll see.

$30 billion taxpayer loss on GM

The Obama administration will tell Congress Wednesday that it expects to lose about $30 billion of the $82 billion government bailout of the auto industry, two administration officials familiar with the report said today.

It’s theft. It’s money that was stolen from people who pay taxes now and in the future to bail out not the company, but the union.

Redistributive change. It’s Obama’s promise and motive. Unions are socialist entities that exist to oppose businesses. The socialists sucked the life out of GM, and when it died, another socialist stole money from one group and used it to bring it back to life, and gave back it to his socialist friends and contributors to continue feeding. The end.

A New Low

Rasmussen

Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats.

Only 16% now believe passage of the plan will lead to lower health care costs. Nearly four times as many (60%) believe the plan will increase health care costs. Most (54%) also believe passage of the plan will hurt the quality of care.

But they’re going to keep trying. If this passes, I will never forget who saddled us with this monstrosity.

Just words

The state-run media reports:

WASHINGTON – A wavering centrist Democrat said Friday he’d stand with Senate Democratic leaders on a crucial weekend test vote on their sweeping health care bill amid indications other moderates would fall in line.

See what they did there? The AP called this “centrist” Democrat wavering. He wasn’t morally opposed, or courageously opposed, or thoughtful, or independent-minded. Nay, he was wavering, timid, fearful, small, weak. For having doubts about the a plan that would bring about the ultimate corruption of the Republic.

At least Mary Landrieu got a $100 million Medicaid grant for Louisiana to buy her vote. That’s right. The bill is SO AWESOME that she required an extra $100 million in wealth redistribution from the rest of the country to convince her to vote for it. Ben Nelson isn’t gonna get squat.

Stimulus money being spent in non-existent districts

Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And:

recovery.gov says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent in Arizona’s 86th congressional district in a project for the Navajo Housing authority, which is actually located in the 1st congressional district.

In Oklahoma, recovery.gov lists more than $19 million in spending — and 15 jobs created — in yet more congressional districts that don’t exist.

In Iowa, it shows $10.6 million spent – and 39 jobs created — in nonexistent districts.

In Connecticut’s 42nd district (which also does not exist), the Web site claims 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars.

The list of spending and job creation in fictional congressional districts extends to U.S. territories as well.

$68.3 million spent and 72.2 million spent in the 1st congressional district of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$8.4 million spent and 40.3 jobs created in the 99th congressional district of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$1.5 million spent and .3 jobs created in the 69th district and $35 million for 142 jobs in the 99th district of the Northern Mariana Islands.

$47.7 million spent and 291 jobs created in Puerto Rico’s 99th congressional district.
