Paul Krugman Wants Democrats to "Do the Right Thing"

Yes, the Democrat lost that race up in Massachusetts, but that's no excuse for not going full speed ahead and passing Obamacare. That's the message Paul Krugman in sending in his column today.

According to Krugman:

"This is your moment of truth. You can do the right thing and pass the Senate health care bill. Or you can look for an easy way out, make excuses and fail the test of history."

And they can also fail the test of political viability, which is, (I think), the one they are a little more concerned about right now. Krugman further proves he's out on Planet Insanity in declaring:

"The fact is that the Senate bill is a centrist document, which moderate Republicans should find entirely acceptable."

Centrist? One can't help but wonder just where does the "center" appear to be from Krugman's vantage point way out there on the margins... (Read More)

Even today, Democrat leaders are talking about trying to force through their health care bill using a "reconciliation process" that would allow them to overcome the need for 60 votes in the Senate.

Americans must continue to stand up and say "NO".

Christian Coalition of America Gains Free Speech Victory

Several years ago, in the United States Capitol Building, Christian Coalition of America's (CCA) president, Roberta Combs, was part of a national press conference with the current Republican Leader of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, opposing the newly-passed "Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002." In addition, one of the top officials of the liberal American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argued against the new law.

The BCRA prohibited so-called "soft money" which are unregulated contributions to the Republican, Democratic and other political parties. Independent grassroots organizations, such as the Christian Coalition of America, which do not specifically advocate the election or defeat of candidates, and have not contributed directly to candidate campaigns were prohibited from offering the political parties "soft money." The bill was actually passed by a Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by Republican President George W. Bush on March 27, 2002.

The United States Supreme Court in September 2003 heard oral arguments against BCRA in a lawsuit brought by the Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and by groups such as the Christian Coalition of America, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Rifle Association and others. They argued that the campaign finance reform law is unconstitutional. Unfortunately, on December 10, 2003, the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling which upheld the key provisions of BCRA.

Today, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, the newest members to the Supreme Court, both appointed by President George W. Bush, joined Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas in the majority decision... (Read More)
