"With all the buzz about Egypt,,,lost this weekend is the sickening facts of Palin saying Sputnik and confusing the space race for the arms race...and Bachmann not even knowing how to pronounce Iwo Jima....as i recall 8000 or more marines died there....it defies logic how Bachmann gets reelected,,, Bachmann disgraced the memory of all those marines...is it at all possible such a patriot and constitutional expert as Bachmann never saw sands of Iwo Jima with john Wayne growing up"

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan to replace Medicare with a private medical plan.

"They don't like the truth so they summarily dismiss it, They say it's a government takeover of healthcare. A big lie just like [Nazi propaganda minister,a modern day Roger Alies or Karl Kove] Joseph Goebbels. You say it enough and you repeat the lie, repeat the lie, repeat the lie until eventually people believe it. Like blood libel, that's the same kind of thing.

The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it, and you have the Holocaust,You tell a lie over";Rep. Steve Cohen.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted 245-189 to repeal the the People's Health-Care law passed by Obama administration and then Democratic control congress in 2009.

President Barack Obama's second State of the Union speech, we know it's the third year, in Instant polling the speech showed that Obama made inroads in employment, and health care. One CBS poll showed that 81 per approved of his speech. The Republicans seemed to show some sort of gestures by mixing up the seating but privately none of the new 87 Republicans are not inclined to work with the President. No evidence that they will compromise and there is a definite anti-Obama feeling that Obama is the enemy, a socialist at best and many other things at best. So we are watching a divide in DC while polling tonight shows the public seems to want compromise. The conventional wisdom is that the new Republicans think they won because they said "no" so why should we say, "Yes." If there is a weakness it is the employment and perhaps the offers from Obama to give Big Business some more cuts, as the downturn cycle is ending, perhaps in the image battle it will appear that the President had something to do with it, the economic job recovery.
