Sign of Obama Care Desperation: SEIU Thugs Dispatched to Townhall Events
Update: It's not the SEIU, but I just received an email from the AFL-CIO with the heading "Right-Wing Mobs in Brighton", saying "All across the country, a small group of radical right-wingers are intent on disrupting congressional town hall meetings in an all-out effort to stop real health care reform. We need your help now to make sure our voices are heard over the unruly mob." Only my fellow, freedom-loving citizens in Colorado's 7th Congressional District can help fulfill their expectations. Though we also can show them who is vocal but civil. You didn't think the Left was going to let members of Congress sit down and listen quietly to the very serious concerns of their constituents about the proposed government health care takeover … [Read more...]
Sitting Down with Dan Maes
I was pleased to have the opportunity this week to sit down for a half-hour one-on-one lunch meeting with Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes. It was a pleasant if too brief conversation. To sum up: The Evergreen businessman is unconventional for an unconventional candidate. What do I mean by that? Yes, he hasn't necessarily followed the traditional path toward a major party nomination for the state of Colorado's highest office. But he also brings a rare mixture of passion, confidence, humility, and realism to the contest. He is frank about the sacrifice his run has entailed for himself and his family, and I also believe him when he says he is deeply impelled to continue his quest for office. Pundits have all but written off … [Read more...]
Memo to My Fellow Mob: Stay Strong and Respectful Against Obama Care
Updated and brought to the top of the fold: Iowahawk makes the point much more effectively and much more humorously than I have. Please read ... and per usual, be sure to keep the liquids clear of the keyboard. [Update at bottom] A growing segment of the American public is angry and awakened about the Obama administration's sly attempt to socialize our nation's health care system. They're showing up to Congressional townhall meetings and expressing their displeasure. I am amused to watch the Left's increasingly unhinged reaction. The irony is so very rich, it's hard to capture it all. First, there's the Democratic National Committee going on the offensive calling you part of an orchestrated "mob" if you stand up vocally against … [Read more...]
White House Lost in Alternate Reality about Public Views on Obama Care
The Left's desperation on the health care debate clearly extends all the way to the White House. Not just asking for informants, but creating an alternate reality. A source forwarded me an email she received from "info@barackobama.com" that sets the stage as follows: … [Read more...]
Breaking News: Blogger El Presidente Announces U.S. Senate Non-Candidacy

Challenge Your Member of Congress on Obama Care at Townhall Meeting
After you go to the Hands Off My Health Care Bus Tour, don't forget to show up to a townhall meeting with your Congressional Representative -- Democrat or Republican -- to share your views and ask the tough questions about Obama Care. For those who like me live in Colorado's 7th Congressional District, there's one scheduled meeting with Democrat Congressman Ed Perlmutter:Aug 08, 2009 Time: 1:00PM Title : Government in the Grocery (1:00-3:00pm) King Soopers 500 Bromley Lane Brighton, CO 80601 That's this Saturday in the remote outstretches of the gerrymandered district.

Reporting Presidential Disinformation on Health Care and Cap-and-Tax
From Red State, the uncut video showing what Obama wants to do to your private health insurance: Does this qualify as "disinformation" from the President's own lips? Someone should report him, or me, to the White House. Makes you wonder if the White House is also going to start collecting reports of "disinformation" on the cap-and-trade energy tax issue, too. After all, the Washington Times reports that a new study from the U.S. Department of Energy refutes The One's claims that cap-and-tax "holds the promise of millions of new jobs -- jobs, by the way, that can't be outsourced." ... Is that something fishy I smell? Someone may have to report the U.S. Department of Energy, too. … [Read more...]
Just Say My Humble Site is on the White House Obama Care “Fishy” List…
So the White House wants to know if any of your friends or neighbors are resisting the party line on Obama Care:There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. Jon Henke follows up with the logical question: "What, exactly, does the White House plan to do with this information?" An excellent question that hopefully gets answered … [Read more...]

Bob Beauprez Entry Could Turn GOP Senate Primary into Two-Man Race
The rumors look as though they indeed are true: Politico talks to former Congressman Bob Beauprez and learns that he is "leaning towards running" for the seat held by appointed U.S. Senator Michael Bennet. Looking back at the 2006 debacle that was the campaign for governor, Swing State Project raises the serious, fair, and open-ended question of whether Beauprez is the man to beat Bennet. Senate Watch over at Rocky Mountain Right offers similarly subtle sentiments. My initial reaction? … [Read more...]
