Send for Dr. Van Helsing

If Hillary Clinton's career can rise up from the political grave that the Benghazi Scandal should be, then someone needs to summon Professor Van Helsing, the vampire slayer from Bram Stoker's classic horror novel Dracula, before she can claim any more victims.

No Lifeline for the Democrats Over Healthcare

After being called all sorts of terrible names over the gov't shutdown asking for the very same thing the Dumocrats have now realized is necessary with regard to Obamacare, the Republicans should now sit on their hands. No way should they throw them the lifeline they are now groping for. This ugly baby is 100% the spawn of liberal Democrats' (I guess liberal is unnecessary) ideological loins and they need to pay the political child-support (in 2014 and 2016). The media, unwittingly, created a 2 week x 24/7 video documentary of the fact Republicans had absolutely nothing to do with this disaster. Working with them now is stupid, foolish, self-defeating, etc. Expect Sens McCain, Graham, and the other "Gang of Whatevers" to run out in their usual "battered political spouse"/Stockholm Syndrome manner to support their tormentors. Crazy!!!

Now Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Fresh off his "success" with comprehensive healthcare reform, now President Obama is pressing for "comprehensive" immigration reform. The liberal Democrat and RINO plan will necessarily demand a path to citizenship for those who have come to the United States illegally. Republicans (the law and order party)will naturally oppose any plan for amnesty but they will be demonized by the liberal media as mean-spirited, racist, blah, blah, blah, etc. until they give in. You know the drill.

I have a suggestion for Republicans. Insist on only one provision.

Any path to citizenship must be accessed through a government website.

Fox Business's Cavuto Tells It Like It Is

As opposed to all the hyperbole, screaming and name calling for the liberal media, Fox Business anchor and commentator, Neil Cavuto, provides some measured criticism of President Obama and the new healthcare law. Liberals will hate this...because it is undenialable and the truth hurts.

The Shutdown's Silver Lining

One thing is for certain, Dems, liberals, RINOs and the media scored a major victory over the shutdown. However, all sides better observe caution. Repubs, Tea Party, and conservatives should avoid too much self-flagellation and the left would be well-advised to resist the urge to gloat or perform too many end-zone dances. Remember 1992? Geo H.W. Bush had a 89% approval rating in 1991 following the Gulf War and went on to lose less than a year later. People tend to over analyze the importance of political victory and confuse winning battles for winning the war. Timing will mean a lot here. Repubs and conservative might actually benefit from these short-term set-backs in the following way:

1. Had the Repubs been able to roll-back Obamacare, liberals could have said, “Well it would have worked but those mean-spirited, racist, bigoted, homophobe Republicans kept us from being able to give you your free healthcare.” It might actually be better to allow the train wreck and then be legitimately be able to say “See we told you so. We tried to prevent this but we weren’t successful. Don’t blame us.”

2. All politics is local especially with regard to Congressional Representatives. Those who think that the Tea Party candidates will be voted out by the very constituents who sent them to Washington to do exactly what they did are kidding themselves. Purple district candidates might be vulnerable but then again, they always are.

3. Unlike with the economy where liberals were able to make a convincing but in my opinion false argument that this bad economy is still all Bush’s fault, there is no way that if Obamacare turns out to be the disaster conservative predict (and so far is on track to be) it can be blamed on the Republicans. Dems and liberals own this one “Lock, stock and barrel” and they spent the last 2 weeks providing a 24/7 video record of it. When people become truly pissed because they lose their jobs, are forced to go part-time, have their health insurance premiums skyrocket, deductible shoot up to $5000+, employer coverage is dropped, etc, etc, etc. Democrats will be politically bludgeoned to death like baby fur seals by their own words captured on video by their media lackeys.

Time will tell but the future is anything but certain. Upcoming milestones: 01Jan 14 mandatory enrollment begins; 15 Apr 14 first impacts of tax penalties hit; 04 Nov 2014 mid-term elections; 08 Nov 2016 next Presidential election!

Liberal In a Lifeboat - An Analogy

Our country is like a lifeboat. If you were in an open lifeboat with a liberal in the middle of the ocean with the sun beating down on you and you complained about being hot, the liberal would drill a hole in the bottom of the boat, splash you with cold seawater and expect you to thank him.

Should Have Used GoDaddy

First impressions are important and I think it is safe to say that www.healthcare.gov blew it. Whether or not you are a fan of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), the roll out of the government health insurance exchange website certainly gives one reason for concern. So far, America's initial contact with the system via the website has been an unmitigated disaster. The ability to use the site has been very frustrating even to the numerous liberal TV journalists who have tried to access the system on air! In interviews yesterday and today, John McAfee, the founder of McAfee, Inc (the big software security company) said, "The site is hacker's wet dream!" He went on to predict that thousands of Americans may have their identities stolen due to security vulnerabilities in the www.healthcare.gov website. Another interview I heard with a software designer, said the site appears to be poorly designed, badly implemented, and apparently not tested prior to launch. In fairness, the government only had 3 years to have the site built. All this for the incredibly low price of only $394 million according to this morning's Washington Post. Maybe they should have just used GoDaddy.com?
