►Riehl World View has yet another "progressive" getting pwned... and by his own post -here-

Dan's also got the most juicy 2 minutes of Sarah Palin's interview on Hannity... like the part where she disses the latest Oba-bow... and unapologetically praises George W Bush -here-

►Moonbattery sees Sacramento's masters of Leftist kleptocracy Hoovering cash out California's more productive citizens' wallets like there's no tomorrow... and there may not be one the way things are going lately out there.

And man, did he school Eric Holder, who looked like a schoolboy in disgrace, and one who had not done his homework -here-

►No Sheeples Here did her weekly FMJWA blogger summary themed on Palin... and paranoia she's causing on the Left. Did the Reaganite make the cut...? Of course, what am I... chopped liver? -here-

Reid Schedules Dubious Weekend Vote, Suppresses Debate

The Democrats' head-weasel in the Senate -Dingy Harry Reid- will allow just 10 hours of debate on this radical government takeover of the HC industry prior to a squirelly Saturday-night vote... on the weekend when constituents can't contact their representative's offices because they are closed... isn't that special?.

The vote is expected around 8 p.m. EST, and will determine whether debate can go forward on Majority Leader Harry Reid's 2,074-page bill to dramatically remake the U.S. health care system over the next decade.

As noted by Left Coast Rebel:

... these bastards are pushing this thing despite overwhelming public mistrust... and on a Saturday, no less.

The chicanery amidst us knows no bounds. Massive tax hikes, myriad new agencies, monthly abortions fees, a conglomeration of everything terrible that the Federal Government represents with any entitlement program.

LCReb's got a useful call-your-wavering-Senator-now guide here...

And don't underestimate the Democrat's willingness to make outrageous backroom deals that leave we bagholders with the tab... and them with new statist powers. Senator Landrieu of Louisiana's already been bought off by the Dems... for a honking $100M.

One bright spot for conservatives has been the brave and principled stand of Joe Lieberman, who says he won't vote for cloture as long as it still has a "public option". Revenge is a dish best served cold... maybe it's starting to dawn on the DNC that they really shouldn't have attempted to screw him over for supporting the war-

As you've probably already read, far-left moonbats and members of the barnacle class have put on threatening, intimidating protests right in front of Lieberman's house this week... a shameful tactic against his family and right to a private life at home. Heat up the kettle of boiling oil, Joe- or just have your driver back over em in your Suburban, nobody's going to miss them.

And the Conneticut Senator's latest on this vital vote?

“I’m just — I’m being a legislator. After what I went through in 2006, there’s nothing much more that anybody [who] disagrees with me can try to do.”

“It’s classic politics of our time that if you look at the campaign last year, presidential, you can’t find a mention of public option,” Lieberman said. “It was added after the election as a part of what we normally consider health insurance reform — insurance market reforms, cover people, cover people who are not covered.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to pray that we can put a stop to this ill-conceived tax-n-control grab by the power-drunk Democrats... you'd think that's how a supposedly mature democracy would work, seeing that most people oppose it.

Say Anything blog thinks Reid faces two major obstacles... and they're named Lincoln and Dorgan... -here-

Win or lose now though, seems like the political damage is already done to Barack Obama and his party... they will likely face a decimating retribution and Obama attitude-adjustment at the polls in just 11 mos- some like Dick Morris are already predicting a 100-seat loss. Then, with massive GOP gains we can repeal anything the Obama-Pelosi-Reid junta does manage to get through... let's hope so.

Dear Leader Tanking, Oh My-

Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14.

That matches the lowest rating yet recorded for this President...

More fun facts from Rasmussen:

• By a 3-to-1 margin, voters believe that tax cuts will create more jobs than additional government stimulus spending. Most also believe that canceling the rest of the stimulus spending will create more jobs than spending the money that’s been approved. On both topics, the Political Class disagrees.

• Republicans continue to hold a six-percentage point lead on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

• 51% Oppose Decision To Try Terrorists in New York City

• Just 33% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction

Note that Rasmessen PAI polls are responses from a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults- President Obama's numbers are always several points higher in a poll of just adults... rather than likely voters.

That's because some of the President's most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote, among other factors.

Some Advice for Sarah Palin...

Seems there are some useful political lessons for the Arctic Fox in the Hutchinson vs. Perry gubernatorial contest in Texas, as told by Stacy "The Other McCain" McCain... and he thinks he might have found the guy who can get her all dialed-in:

If I were Sarah Palin... I'd look good in Manolo pumps, but let's not go there. (These hypotheticals always get me in trouble.)

Seriously, however, if I were Sarah Palin, I'd seek out the advice of Dick Armey...

-continued here-

Riehl World View even sees her communicating with Americans directly -by going over the talking-heads of the MSM- as Reaganesque... -here-

McCain then gets us up-to-speed on the psycho-dramatic peregrinations of The Atlantic's resident Palin-hater and Trig-truther-goofball Andrew Sullivan- sounds like he's got your number, Drew...

-here-

And why the relentless and shameful smear campaign by the American Left against the Killa from Wasilla... what started all this, anyway?

Well, a primary issue would be the fact that Palin was the first to call Obama on his lack of qualifications and experience at the GOP convention... and they've never forgiven her for this-- as a matter of fact, she's on The List.

In addition, Palin stands for the values most Americans hold dear... outside of CA and the Boston-DC corridor, anyway. She would put a halt to the outrageous social agenda of the far-Left moonbats that now control our Federal government... and they know it.

But the biggest reason for the orchestrated, pre-emptive assaults is plain, old-fashioned cowardice... Palin is a huge natural talent, and she scares them to death.

The DNC knows Obama's poll numbers will be in the toilet by 2012... and Sarah continues to speak-up against Obama's ludicrous schemes when many others won't. She's shown herself (as in NY-23) to be brave, sincere, and principled- while the Dear Leader has been promptly exposed as none of those things. She's made it abundantly clear she's opposed to most Obama Administration policies... and now those policies are beginning to fail.

But the fact that Sarah's been so highly successful in life -while completely ignoring the group-therapy victimhood of the left-wing feminist movement- explains the extra dose of venom in these attacks. Her impressive record of achievement turns the whole "Progressive" world on it's head... and she does it with a smile.

Go get 'em, 'Cuda-
