Sorry Barry, but people like their insurance…

It was recently reported by NBC News that support for the President’s health care reform has stabilized at 39%. That’s right, STABILIZED at 39%. Only 39% of the people like the health care reforms that are being discussed by the Democrat controlled Washington D.C. After Dear Leaders big speech and eight-seven Sunday morning interview, a whopping 39% agree. Good on ya’ Barry.

Granted, a lot of the disapproval could be coming from the left upset that he is going far enough towards socialized medicine. There’s was something like a 13% disparity between Democrats and Republicans who were polled. But there might be something else going on that liberal progressives don’t want to admit. For all the demagoging of insurance and insurance companies from politicians and celebrities, all of whom want to force people on a public option they won’t enroll for themselves, people simply like what they have.

So sayeth a recent Gallup poll…

Romney: “This is everything Obama is doing wrong…”

Mitt Romney is another cat I like to cover, though it’s a little less frequently than Newt Gingrich. While the former Speaker of the House has a new editorial three or four times a week, the former Governor of Massachusetts takes the occasional weekend getaway where he covers a bunch of issues all at once, then heads back to where he is living until it’s time to make another cameo on the national stage.

Like this past weekend. He came to speak at the Value Voters Summit, hold a few fundraisers, and campaign for the three Republicans running state wide in Virginia. He also found time to sit down for an interview with the far-left liberal rag, “Human Events.”

It followed in the vain of most Romney interviews: 1) here’s everything that’s being done wrong, 2) here’s everything he’d do differently. Sa sayeth the guy I should have supported in 2008…

Newt Gingrich and the Conservative Comeback v4.0

“I kept saying the same things, and after a while the country came around.” - Ronald Reagan

As I’ve said, here at JBdotC we try to space out the people we talk aboot and it’s not that I particularly want to write aboot Newt Gingrich every other day. But my man writes so much that I want to share with people, he’s hard to keep up with. Today’s piece comes from a relatively new website, The Conservatives.

It’s funny, Mike Murphy (one of them Republican strategists) said back in January that if President Obama stayed to the center, Republicans would be out of power for a quarter century. Instead he went hard left, and we find ourselves looking at another conservative comeback.

But what’s fueling it? Newt looks at three things that have caused a “perfect storm” if you will…
