So what do they reflect? The will of the pomegranates?
TCM says never mind polls, do the will of the people.

It isn’t pretty for the FHers
A new poll conducted by Democracy Corps-Third Way (that’s Carville and Greenberg, not some rightie bunch) shows the public thinking that America’s standing in the world has dropped under the Most Equal Comrade, and has FHers trailing Pubs as being better on national security and the general direction of the country.
It’s not about getting you your money back
Michelle Malkin reprints a Heritage Foundation graph showing which recipients of federal money would be subject to TCM’’s bank tax and which ones wouldn’t – and the correlation between that and which organizations have been paying back their bailout largesse. It’s not the same group of recipients.

TCM relishes opportunities like this – to demonize private business, that is
So TCM thinks, insurance companies raise premiums “arbitrarily,” does he?
When one looks at their profit margins, one can see that what they’re are actually doing is covering costs:
And if you don’t like the way your company is raising premiums, why don’t you go shopping for a company that doesn’t raise them so much?
Oh, that’s right. We can’t shop across state lines! Even though there are 1300-plus insurance companies in this country.
TCM thinks his plan is unfolding wonderfully
The plan to bring the United States of America to its knees, that is. The CBO weighs in on the deficit. Bigger than TCM’s projection last month. Which is fine with him. It hastens the day when we all crawl to the federal government in desperation to get our basic needs met.
Right out of Cloward and Piven and Saul Alinsky.
Remember, SEIU’s Andy Stern sits on this silly-ass deficit-reduction panel.

A beautiful sight: Pubs with spines
I didn’t have a lot of time to stay moment-by-moment abreast of the summit today, but reading the immediate post-pow-wow coverage makes it clear that those with a keen and principled interest in human freedom and the resucitation of the United States of America had it all over the jackbooted socialists .

You may have to read this a couple of times to get over your incredulity
And swallow your coffee first so it doesn’t splatter all over your keyboard.
TCM wants Andy Stern to sit on this deficit reduction panel.

Beautiful and glorious – today’s edition
Two MSM offerings in which you see the term “failing” applied in an overall way to TCM’s presidency.
An AP story about his latest attempt to salvage socialist health care, and
A CBS poll about his performance.
There have been those of us who, from the outset – that would be early 2008, maybe even fall of 2007 – who were not afraid to say they hoped for this. An America-hating radical with a perverted vision of what he wanted to transform this country into, a pathological narcissist who has never been told anything in his whole life other than that he was a fabulous rock star, needed to be stopped dead in his tracks at the first available opportunity.
Thank God that is now happening.
Memo to the GOP: Give up being the stupid party and embrace conservatism without reservation.
Now that TCM’s plan is out there
. . . Pundit and Pundette have coverage of such phenomena in its wake as the CBO’s inability to score it, and the latest display of Robert Gibbs’s sinister deceitfulness.
The right response
John Boehner’s statement on TCM’s latest desperate attempt to salvage socialist health care.
Does this mean you won’t be going to the summit?
Still a big thumbs down
TCM is trying to spin his latest health care ploy as a new ingredient in the proceedings. What do you think? It’s nothing more than the government telling insurance companies what they can charge customers.
More naked freedom-hatred. Doubling down on what the American people are saying – make that screaming and roaring – “no” to. Because it’s not about popularity to this monster. He used his popularity capital to get elected, and now he’s got the power.

It was never about popularity for them
Poll numbers – and not just Rasmussen’s – are plummeting by the microsecond for all things Freedom-Hater: TCM’s performance overall, Congress’s performance overall, socialist health care, handling of the deficit.
Popularity was never more than a tool for gaining power for these people. Their determination to double down on everything the American people want to stop now if not sooner is madness of a most exquisitely despotic sort. It’s the same reason Robert Mugabe, Kim Jong Il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez are unfazed by the basket cases into which they have made their economies.
02.20.10
Embarrassingly pathetic
Because he is so desperate to be seen as exerting leadership even while he colludes with Congress to continue suffocating the nation with an unprecedented deficit, TCM has formed a commission of former legislators to come up with a plan to cut spending and shore up the government’s fiscal health. As I say, he’s clearly desperate. He knows that the American people will see this as the height of immaturity and helplessness (comparisons to a drunk hiring someone to keep him on the wagon are already cropping up), yet he must be seen as taking some concrete action. It also gives him and the FHer “leadership” in Congress an excuse to say, “An impartial third party has confirmed that we need to raise taxes!”
Fighting this stuff is daunting work, but I want the record to show that not all Americans living though this insane time went meekly along with this garbage. I intend to be among the ones that the history books depict as remembering what freedom, common sense and dignity were all about.

In environments such as, say, late-50s Cuba or Czarist Russia, it can have the desired effect, which is totalitarianism; in America, it just leads to a nasty train wreck
Observations on three aspects of the current D.C. meltdown. (HT: Real Clear Politics)
WSJ on the implications of Evan Bayh’s announcement.
Jeff Birnbaum on TCM’s inability or refusal to lead, and the vacuum that has created in Washington, at least until a critical mass of Pubs fully grasp the gravity of the situation and step up accordingly.
Dick Morris uses the term “ruin” to describe what TCM has done to the Freedom-Hater party.
We look out our front windows, up and down the streets where we live, and see daily American life ostensibly going on like it did five years ago, ten, fifty, one hundred years ago. Few of the people you see maneuvering through their day, however, are oblivious at this point to the sense that there is no hand on the tiller.
The more this unfolds, the more I understand the importance of Diana West’s 2007 book, Death of the Grownup. We have developed a pathological incapacity for seriousness. The leader of the free world is surrounded by the grimmest of challenges, many of his own making, and he still struts about like the winner of American Idol. There is an undeniable groundswell of Americans waking up to the gravity of our current juncture, but there is still a too-large infrastucture of “journalists,” “educators,” “artists” and “religious leaders” – to say nothing of “legislators” and “administrators” – who think our current course is just dandy.
A precarious state like this cannot last indefinitely.

When even CBS can see what TCM really means by bipartisanship . . .
. . . the wolf clearly needs a new sheep costume.
02.08.10
Hey, guys, I know I spent the last year accusing you of being devoid of ideas on this subject, but now I really want to hear them, so I can say I did before renewing the attempt to ram my socialist approach through
TCM is going to hold a health care “summit” with Pubs on February 25.
UPDATE: This is immensely encouraging. Pubs are chilly to the idea unless it’s predicated on starting completely over. We’re starting to make headway in educating folks on just what a disengenuous term “bipartisan” is. Maybe the day of the Reasonable Gentleman is over.

The deep and profound spiritual illness of The Most Equal Comrade
TCM has a 56 percent disapproval rating, per Rasmussen.
He’s unfazed, of course. I don’t mean in the way that past presidents who have been utterly convinced that the course they were charting was going to be ultimately good for America. As we’ve stated many times here at BN, the phrase “good for America” is completely meaningless to him, since he sees his mission as transforming what we know as America into something else entirely. No, his dismissal of his abysmal approval numbers is based on his still-growing sense of how wonderful he is. He doesn’t even get riled by internecine FHer rancor. His antidote is to exhort the FHers to be even more united behind his vision and agenda. He’ll drive anything and anyone – his nation, his party, his support structure – over the cliff for the sake of his own glorification.
That’s who strides into the Oval Office every day.
