Midnight Blue Says

The Mission of Coffee Party USA is to give voice to Americans who want cooperation in government and bring civility and open discussion to the national political debates that are dividing our communities and our country.

Not exactly what the coffee party participants are after…

Released late Sunday night, how typical.

Let’s start digging…

Healthcare for Pets is in the bill – pg 913 line 6 Veterinary school is paid for

Public option is in the bill – Public option. Page 1167. Sec 221

Lots of older people shouting TV talking points at the Wayne Coffee Party:

Astroturf.

Donald Douglas of American Power blog has a great review of this instant coffee craze.

2010 CPAC blogger of the year, Ed Morrissey, spoke to the several thousand Americans who gathered at the steps of the state capitol building in St. Paul to let express their disapproval of Obamacare.

Best part of his speech IMHO:

They’re not listening, but they should. How angry will we be if Pelosi, Reid, and Obama try to jam this bill through Congress through chicanery and manipulation? Poll after poll shows just how unpopular this ObamaCare effort has gotten:

• Last week, an AP poll showed that 68% of Americans oppose the use of “reconciliation” to pass health-care reform
• Two weeks ago, a CNN poll showed that 73% wanted Congress to start over from scratch or just forget about health care reform altogether in this session – and that matched the 72% who wanted the same in November
• In fact, in nine national polls taken in the month of February, all nine showed opposition to ObamaCare ranging from nine points to 20 points

From Coffee guzzlers in West Palm Beach – it’s not about coffee, it is all about taxes and race:

• Frankly, we are petrified by the tea party and what they stand for and what they’re talking about,” said Monte Carmel, a retired business executive from West Palm Beach.
• “I’m tired of all the misinformation, the cute little labels the fright-wing has thrown on everything,” said a man named Russ.
• “To me, government is the answer. I’m really sort of perplexed,” said a man named Joe who said he had been a teacher for 44 years.
• “We have to stop the mantra of no taxes, no taxes, no taxes,” said Marcia Halpern of Palm Beach Gardens.
• Brownstein, who is white, said “white southerners in this country are going nuts” because of the popularity of black figures like President Obama and Oprah Winfrey. He said he raised the issue because “you have to know who your enemy is.”
• Alana Milich, a high school teacher from Boynton Beach, agreed with Brownstein.”The foundation of all of this is racism,” said Milich, who is white.

Calling You Out

Get thee to DC – Tuesday March 16th!

It is Sunday, have you called your Congressmen/women and Senators today? Let them know there are better solutions for health care in the U.S.

Wow, when Dan Riehl wants to get your attention, he goes right for the jugular.

The left are going bonkers over his post, Tommy Christopher is reduced to threatening Dan’s livelihood. Republicans are holding their collective noses and staying silent. Conservative bloggers are making the uncomfortable comparisons between what Dems have stated and what Dan is saying about healthcare.

A rainy Saturday opens up a great opportunity to get some work done at home.  I’m knee deep in the process of remodeling a master bedroom and bath. It seemed like a relatively easy project at the start, then reality set in.  Since home life must trump blogging this weekend, I’ve left a great list of reading material in this post, feel free to post your thoughts in the comment section.
