Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) said on Sunday: What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray. Coburn was hoping that a Democrat would not show up for the vote on health care reform and the vote would fail. But he forgot to specify […]

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) takes Republicans to task for lying to the American people: When it turns out there are no death panels, when there is no bureaucrat between you and your doctor, when the ways your health care changes seem like a good deal to you, and a pretty smart idea, when the American […]

People who use microblogging sites like Twitter are used to URL-shortening services like Bit.ly, Tr.im, and Tinyurl.com. But apparently those sites are not “conservative” enough, so the Republican party launched their own URL-shortening service on Monday called GOP.am, but with an annoying twist.

So this week, the Senate was supposed to start debating health care reform, but arcane Senate rules are allowing Republicans to bring the Senate to a grinding halt.

Yesterday, I reported on the irony of McCain’s former health care advisor, who is losing his health insurance and has a preexisting condition. But the irony keeps coming. Earlier this month, wing-nut Michele Bachmann sponsored a protest against health care reform at the Capitol, with angry protesters holding signs like the one to the right, […]

Doug Holtz-Eakin, the former top health-care-reform advisor to John McCain during the presidential election is in an ironic position. After the election his job vanished, of course, and now his COBRA health coverage — for which he pays around $1000 a month — is about to expire. And an accident in 1990 left him with […]

In Forbes Magazine, Bruce Bartlett (an advisor to Ronald Reagan and a treasury official under Bush I) points out the staggering hypocrisy of any politician who is criticizing the Democratic health care reform bill as socialist or deficit-busting, but who voted for the Republican Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit in 2003 (which the US Comptroller called […]

According to a new poll from Public Policy Polling, a majority (52%) of Republicans believe that Obama did not actually win the 2008 election, because ACORN stole the election for him. Only 27% of Republicans believe that Obama won the election legitimately. This, despite the fact that Obama won the election by 9.5 million votes. […]

The Republicans have been making a big stink about the health care bill paying for abortions. But Politico has found that the insurance plan that the Republican National Committee offers to its employees pays for elective abortions. Their health insurance company, Cigna, says that the RNC has the option of not covering abortions, but has […]

House Minority Leader John Boehner recently told reporters that he hadn’t been able to find a single American (other than a politician) who is in favor of a public health care option. This despite the fact that a majority of Americans are in favor of the public option. So in response, here is a video […]
