Things are still very interesting in the 23rd Congressional District.

America's Quiet Anger.

Tony Blankley on facts.

Nicole Gelinas wants Mayor Bloomberg to fight the unions.

The NY Post Editorial pans borrowing.

Charles Krauthammer on VAT.

State Attorney Generals are not the only ones suing.

The Heritage Foundation on HCR the first of many headaches.

Is President Obama taking advantage of political momentum or just leading lemmings off the cliff?

Thomas Sowell writes about climate changes.

Michael Goodwin has a very good analysis of NYC's spending problems, unfortunately they are not limited to the NYC budget. The same can be said about Albany.

If any one wants to know where they can save money, fraud screams out. The Assembly Democrats certainly are not considering how to save money with this absurd idea. Classic case of do what I say, not what I do. The "Tax Man" wants you even if you do not live in NYS. NYS Senate Democrats are being exposed in Human Events. And the Sacramento Bee.

Does George Will have the answer to immigration arguments?

Health care reform fallout; here, here, here, and Sen. Schumer thinks what? Just shows you how out of touch he is with the American people.

Weekly Wrap-Up

After President Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi pulled legislative and political tricks that would embarrass Hugo Chavez (and that, in fact, thrilled Fidel Castro as Shaun Marie pointed out yesterday), health care became the big story of the week.

The new conservative buzzword is “repeal.” That’s what most voters want. President Obama - who doesn’t even seem to really know what’s in the bill, or how it will work – has even been so arrogant as to dare Republicans to go for it. This could very well turn out to be his “Mission Accomplished” moment – or at least it will be if conservatives play their cards right.

So how do we do it? Unfortunately, our very own New York is a terrifying example of what happens when politicians spend like there’s no tomorrow . But there are many takes on how conservatives can turn back ObamaCare. Let’s look at a few...

First off: Rep. Paul Ryan bravely ventures into the enemy territory of The New York Times to offer some strategies.

Former Massachusetts Governor and Presidential contender Mitt Romney – who has some unfortunate experience in government meddling with health care – is pushing to elect conservatives who will repeal ObamaCare.

Rich Lowry at National Review was making the case for repeal before the bill was even forced into law – and his take on the matter is still a must-read.

At the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol makes the case for repeal – and for keeping it simple.

And keeping it simple is the strategy already put in place by Sen. Jim DeMint and his conservative allies in Washington.

Rep. Mike Pence keeps it short and sweet in his take on health care repeal over at The Wall Street Journal.

What will you be doing to support the full repeal of ObamaCare? That's the topic of this week's poll.

Another important question: Can it be done? A small story here in New York that’s not even connected to the health care debate gives me hope...

In a mini-repeal of sorts, Rep. Ed Towns was forced to withdraw an underhanded earmark after questions were raised about who would benefit besides a Towns staffer. When people have the facts, and when politicians feel the pressure, anything can happen.

At the least, this is a great example of why, in a perfect world, New York would “repeal” all of the scoundrels we’ve sent to Washington this November.

Have a great weekend!

So why did the drafters of the HCR bill exempt themselves?

Lazio joins the growing calls for New York to join the AGs challenging HCR.

Castro cheers Obamacare.

Social Security in trouble again (and we are at the very beginning of baby boomers applying).

Is the agreement in START undermining our nuclear security?

New Yorkers beware, the first state to legalize "medical marijuana" is getting ready to legalize all marijuana.

File this under, when will politicians learn?

In the New York Governor's race, one candidate seems to have a problem remembering the facts: Levy praises Cuomo and 'forgets' he was on the WFP line while his answers on a WFP questionnaire puts him at odds with conservative principles.

The Democrat controlled Assembly is looking to restore budget cuts and looking at new revenues sources.

This on top of what Washington is socking taxpayers with. Of course, some are exempt!!!
What would expect when rules are just made up in Congress. And Con. Dingell says Obamacare will eventually control the people. Think you won't be effected by the taxes, think again.

But New York's democratic controlled government at the state level, that is rapidly running out of money due (in large part) to the high cost of medicaid and will be further damaged by Obamacare is silent while other states take the necessary steps to protect themselves. Where is Governor Paterson? Attorney General Cuomo?

It may be law, but the fight is not over.

The financial damage NY will incur due to Obamacare

But don't worry about New York's financial problems, because the Senate Democrats believe "medical marijuana" will "plug the gap". (Guess "medical marijuana" isn't really about medicine anymore...then again was it ever?)

On March 22, 1765 the British government passed the Stamp Act. It was the forth major tax imposed on the colonists (Quartering Act -1765; Sugar Act -1764 and the Currency Act - 1764), by October, 9 of the 13 colonies united and complained about "taxation without representation". The British government repealed the Stamp Act, but the die was cast by Americans who wanted to be free. The Sons of Liberty began in 1765, in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed and in September of 1787 the U.S. Constitution became the law of the land on the first Wednesday in March 1789 after New Hampshire became the ninth state to approve it.

We may have lost the battle in Congress on Sunday, but Americans will not lose its freedom again. We will continue to do what we have always done; fight for freedom against tyranny especially when that tyranny is our own elected officials.

The Heritage Foundation calls for Repeal. Virginia will sue; Florida and 7 other states also. Texas is ready to roll. Where is New York?

Gingrich says the Bill will not stand. The NY Post reminds us that no new government program ever reduces government spending. Truth is a casualty in the final push.

More coverage on the Health Care morass.

One of the biggest disappointment: Congressman Bart Stupak.

Democratic sources indicate that the NYS Senate has the same regard for its citizens as their counterparts in Washington have for theirs. Lame Duck Paterson is calling for taxes.

November can not come soon enough. Good News in today's Siena Poll "Lazio Starts Fight for Republican Nomination with Huge Lead over Levy" As you know, the State Executive Committee of the Conservative Party met on Saturday and recommended to the full state committee the nomination of Rick Lazio for Governor.
