Orrin Hatch slips into conspiratorial mode
Political Animal —
... ." This morning, Hatch went so far as to suggest health care reform, if it becomes law, threatens the existence of our two-party political system. Hatch asserted that the health bills, which he believes is a "step by step approach to socialized medicine," will lead to Americans' dependence on Democrats for their health and other issues. "And if they get there, of course, you're going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this country, because almost everybody's going to say, 'All we ever were, all we ever are, all we ever hope to be depends on the Democratic ...

... today's GOP. Better to go the way of their antecedents, the Know-Nothings and the Whigs, if all the GOP can muster is no after no while promising more tried and failed free market economic policies. To suggest that the GOP is a party of limited government and fiscal discipline flies in the face of an eleven trillion deficit that is a legacy of reckless tax cuts for the wealthy and even more reckless spending on perpetuating an empire that long ago lost its raison d'être . From The Hill: The healthcare reform proposals before Congress threaten the ...

Of course, the Daggett campaign could have just hired a Democrat firm to make the calls, Today, however, we have definitive proof that the New Jersey Democratic State Committee is paying for ads attacking GOP candidate Chris Christie and promoting Independent candidate Chris Daggett.

What happened when you included October 24 and October 25 in the tabulation to make a true two-week-vs.-two-week comparison?

Time For Some Blunt Talk

... The Republicans never even tried to take part in a serious health care debate. When they controlled Congress and the White House they did nothing (but create the donut hole and transfer billion of dollars from American families to their donors at Big Pharma). And once Obama was elected president, the GOP stance was simple obstructionism. Barely a week ago Utah obstructionist Orrin Hatch inadvertently got to the bottom of it when he worried aloud that healthcare legislation would be so popular that millions of people would cement their bonds to the Democratic Party for ...
