Via J-Ger, a heaping dose of Hippocratic honesty:

Yeah, we know all about the Obama regime’s one-size-fits-all opinion of any who don’t worship The One as applied to Beckapalooza.  “Bitter clingers,” “economic anxiety,” “old, white, angry,” blah, blah, blah.  It’s the sort of “analysis” that can be read off 3x5 index cards without even getting out of bed, probably with a lot of mumbling and drooling as well.

But Re-Education Oberfuehrer Arne Duncan wasn’t sleeping - mumbling and/or drooling, perhaps, though judging from his picture, he probably gave up sleep so he could spend all the rest of his time on teeth-whitening - and he was bound and determined that none of his underlings would sleep in, relax, or otherwise loaf away last Saturday, either:

He said it.  For over a year he said it.  “If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it.”  Which begged the question: If huge majorities of Americans do, in fact, like their existing health care plans and want to keep them, then wasn’t ObamaCare a crappy solution in search of a non-existent problem?

The answer was the same for this boast as for “bending the cost curve” and “universal coverage” - it was a lie.  They were ALL lies.  Huge majorities of Americans TOLD him they were lies.  He and the Pelosi/Reid Politburo rammed it down our throats anyway.

Behold the latest two groups to get to endure the White House manure bath.

And, let’s be honest, it really isn’t, as long as you have the right quantity of epidermal pigmentation and the correct letter after your name:

In my last column, I wrote about the national importance of keeping the Florida governorship in Republican hands during this redistricting term.  The makeup of three or four US House seats are possibly at stake, which may at one point be enough to swing control of the chamber.

Democrat Alex Sink made the best choice for her side by picking Rod Smith.  Sen. Smith is the type of candidate who can gain swing voters.  Sink will have problems, having served as President of Florida Operations of Bank of America and due to the fact that this is a Republican leaning year.  She’s also become the ultimate insider.  But Scott still needs to make sure that his pick is refreshing and dynamic.

Any discord among party members must end after the primaries.  This is especially true in the all important gubernatorial race in Florida in this congressional redistricting year.

Republicans across the board are spending time, energy and resources on defeating vulnerable Democrat incumbents, including Alcee Hastings (whose district boasts an abysmal voter turnout and who has all but lost the critical Haitian vote), Ron Klein and Alan Grayson. 

We need to keep in mind that a Democratic governor in a redistricting year could not only preclude Republicans from holding these seats in the future, but could in fact lead to the election of yet another Alcee Hastings, Ron Klein and Alan Grayson, on top of those already in place.

Whoever you may have supported in the past, one thing is clear.  The election of a Republican governor within the State of Florida, where the Governor holds veto power over redistricting, is crucial to the future of our statewide congressional caucus.  Rick Scott is our nominee and his election will determine the future of three or four congressional seats, which may at times be the margin of control in the US House.

When we find local leaders whose platforms speak to the broad interest of America, we should promote their ideas as a national model for success.  The fight for conservative education, defense of our borders and the prosperity of our economy takes place first and foremost on the state level.  

State platforms are more detailed and innovative business leaders who want to secure a better America often run for state level office to further American ideals.  Such is the case with Arizona’s Bill Konopnicki, a current state representative who has recently become one of a select few candidates to be endorsed for State Senate by Gov. Jan Brewer.

Florida is set to deliver a number of true conservatives to Congress and to take back two, three or even more seats from the Democrats.  If Republicans regain the House, as we are poised to do, Florida will have a key role in that effort.  But of all our great candidates, not only in Florida, but anywhere in the nation, Tom Garcia in the crucial FL-24 race stands out above the crowd.

Commander Tom Garcia is a rare mix of character, integrity, brashness and common sense.  His election stands to improve America’s national security and economic wellbeing more than any other congressional race.

When I first decided to run for Murrieta City Council, one of the issues I immediately backed was term limits. One of the proposed ordinances that will be on the November ballot tackles term limits. If passed, the initiative would allow members of the city government to serve no more than two consecutive four-year terms. The proposal would not keep the good council members out of office indefinitely, for after a one term break the person would be able to run again, and serve two consecutive terms if elected.

My run for the Murrieta City Council is not the only candidacy calling for term limits. In Escondido, a city in north San Diego County along Interstate 15, Mayoral candidate Tom D’Agosta is also supporting term limits for his city. He says that long-serving politicians (as opposed to statesmen) become stagnant, and too cozy with “special interest.” Then, as they use the incumbency to be re-elected, they become difficult to defeat, which keep out of the city government new people with fresh ideas.
