The Senate is failing to do its job of delivering genuine health care reform. The President and Senate Leadership need to take responsibility for that failure.

Senator Jim DeMint has emerged as a new voice of the Senate Minority. But he won’t criticize Rush Limbaugh for even the most incendiary racist remarks.

Mike Ross:

We insured that if there is a government option, it will be just that — an option — and it won’t be mandated on anybody.  If it had been based on Medicare rates, I can assure you that it would have eventually ended up resulting in a single payer-type system, because Medicare has really good rates, because they’re negotiating for every senior in America. Private insurance companies could not have competed with that.  And so we would have at the end of the day ended up with single payer.  Now we’ve leveled the playing field, if there is a government option they’ll have to go out again and negotiate with providers just like private insurance companies do.  That was important to me to insure that we don’t end up with some type of single payer system.

I had forgotten that Bancroft’s group — Gathering of Eagles — was an astroturf outfit that sprang up at the same time Ari Fleischer’s Freedom Watch went into action, and that the Sadly No! guys did an expose that earned them a DOS attack. We republished it when they went down.

The rabid pushback at Taibbi from the usually timid bunny following the golden carrots financial press has been a sight to behold.

• Lies and the lying liars.
• The town hall mob.
• Er, ‘40 million illegals‘?
• More cash for more clunkers.
• Why are we still there, exactly?
• Sigh.
• Well played, NRA.
• But…but…the gubmint can’t do anything right.
• What Spencer said.

All things white and delusional…par for the course.
