This isn’t the first time a politician broke a promise nor is it the first time Barack Obama broke this particular one.  It does however bear repeating: When there is a bill that lands on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online to find out what is in [...]

Never before in our nation’s history have we seen such a failure of our form of government as we witnessed yesterday with the passing of the health care legislation.  A measure which has soundly been rejected by the citizens of this nation has been rammed down those same citizens’ throats in defiance of the people’s [...]

I have already ranted on the unprecedented power grab by the federal government with its passing of the health care bill.  Of course there are thousands of news stories and opinions on the topic in recent days.  Here are a few I found interesting:

President Barack Obama finally sat down with FOX News for an interview today.  Bret Baier grilled the president hard on the shady deals in the health care bill, the ridiculous spending and mandates, and the dozens of other problems with the measure.  As expected, the president couldn’t give a straight answer to most of the [...]

Gauging what is going on in Colorado voters’ minds can be a tough one.  In a state with an evenly split electorate between Democrats, Republicans and independents, trying to get voters to agree is a lot like herding cats – not an easy task for sure. The latest Rasmussen poll provides some interesting insights into [...]

Canada’s socialized health care system has been held up as a model for the United States and President Obama’s own plan.  Pushers of Obamacare insist that the Canadian system and those of European nations are ones which the U.S. should emulate. This is of course baffling considering we have better cancer survival rates, better access [...]

Just two months ago Senator Michael Bennet took what Democrats felt was a principled stand on health care reform.  He famously told CNN’s John King that he would vote in favor of the legislation, even if it cost him his job (watch the video below).  Only 41% of Coloradoans say they support Obamacare but that [...]

Ray Stevens is well-known for his comical and satirical songs and his new one arrives at just the right time.  Stevens takes on Congress, President Obama and the health care legislation.  The video pretty much says it all as does this short excerpt: Hey, Congress, You vote Obamacare, we’ll vote you outta there We the people [...]

Elected officials really have to have grown to hate the Internet and YouTube.  They make these grandiose speeches with all sorts of promises so people vote for them and send them to Washington D.C.  Of course they promptly forget their promises and ignore their constituents’ wishes as they become as corrupt as any in the [...]
