Campaign health plan promises fail reality test Mar 26, 2010 By THE WASHINGTON TIMES The health care bill that President Obama signed last week bears little resemblance to the reform package he once touted from the campaign trail. With the final legislative product in hand, it’s worth evaluating how it compares to the promises Mr. [...]
Claims of intimidation meant to distract from falling polls Mar 26, 2010 By THE WASHINGTON TIMES Democrats last week began a well-orchestrated campaign to change the subject from Obamacare by declaring Republicans the newest terrorist threat. House Majority leader Steny H. Hoyer claimed that Democrats faced threats of violence in their home districts. He demanded [...]
