Bucking GOP Talking Points, Frist Has Kudos For Obama, Dems On Reform
At least one controversial aspect of health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats is getting some bipartisan love from the right - albeit outside of the current residents of Capitol Hill.
Medical doctor and former Senate majority leader Bill Frist (R-TN) penned an op-ed for U.S. News and World Report in which he […]
Baucus Swiped By Liberal Grassroots
A liberal grassroots PAC calling itself the “Progressive Change Campaign Committee” has launched a TV ad buy in Washington D.C. and Montana targeting Max Baucus and his $800 billion health care reform bill that does not include a public option.

The confusing and undeniably murky debate over Medicare is the focus of a Monday article in the Washington Post that details the incredible flip-flop on entitlement spending from a Republican Party that had for years as its mantra the promise of deep cuts to a “bankrupt” Medicare system.
While the GOP fights on against “cuts” to […]

Palin Hits Hong Kong In 2012 Tune Up
While fellow potential contenders for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination were doing some high-profile stumping in Washington at the Values Voters event last weekend, ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin chose to take her message of “death panels” and “Main Street” to the incredibly odd setting of an investors summit in Hong Kong. There was no press […]
Glenn Beck Said What?
As if Glenn Beck doesn’t have enough controversy on his hands, now he has raised the ire of fellow conservatives for, ironically enough, being too soft on Barack Obama.
