Young folks not so hot on ObamaCare

As Dick Morris and pollster John Zogby have shown, ObamaCare is not getting a warm reception from young Americans. In the most recent poll by Zogby, only 25 percent of Americans under 30 support ObamaCare and the “public option.” Among adults 30-49, only 28 percent now support the idea.

This sets things up nicely to undo the “new Democratic majority” that Pelosi and Reid have been crowing about ever since Obama defeated John McCain over a year ago. That “new Democratic majority” relied heavily on young people.

Let’s just hope, when President Obama reads these poll results, he does lock America’s youngest voters up in steel buildings and ship them over to Afghanistan for his ill-advised so-called “civilian surge.”

Lou Dobbs ponders Senate, presidency

The long-standing former CNN financial analyst, Lou Dobbs, is pondering a run for US Senate from New Jersey as a Republican in 2010. If he runs, it would be in opposition to the U.S. Senate’s only Hispanic member, Democrat Robert Menendez.

Dobbs gained notice for his strong views against illegal immigration and amnesty while a broadcast figure on CNN, but has been softening his views since announcing his intent to run for the Senate seat in New Jersey; sounds like he’d make a perfect politician, if not exactly a conservative. Sounds like someone took some pond pumps to him.

Dobbs has also admitted he’s considered a presidential run, perhaps as early as 2012. That would make him precisely as qualified at the federal level as President Obama was when he ran for the White House.

Leno struggling to gain a 1.5 share

The grand experiment by NBC – moving late night king Jay Leno into prime time in order to cut back on costly dramas and save money – is now officially a failure. Sure, the network probably won’t change course this season; mainly because they would need five hours of prime time programming to take the place of Leno, and the network has very few hits waiting in the wings. This season.

But if the sale of NBC to Comcast goes through, as expected, perhaps things will change; if NBC orders an unusually high number of dramas to pilot this spring, you can bet Jay won’t be in prime time five nights a week next fall. Go, Comcast! Send this idiots who killed NBC on some permanent Orlando vacations.

Huckabee may not run in 2012

Appearing on Fox News Sunday this weekend, former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee admitted he may sit out the 2012 race for president, due in part to his weekly Fox News Channel show. This is great news for real conservatives, since Huckabee is no more conservative than John McCain was, even though he was younger, more Christian and more pro-life.

While his word is likely to be less reliable than good insurance quotes, for now the nation can breathe a sigh of relief and hope that a real conservative, like Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal, rise to the top in 2012.

And here I thought it would be me…

A CBS News/Vanity Fair poll listed radio host Rush Limbaugh as the nation’s most influential conservative voice, according to results released Sunday. Limbaugh was named by 26 percent of respondents, followed by Glenn Beck with 11 percent and politicians Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney at 10 percent each.

That Limbaugh is the nation’s leading conservative voice should come as no shock, given its a position he held – poll data or not – since the early 1990s. The only true shock is that CBS News is actually acknowledging the radio host’s existence without attempting to tie him to an appetite suppressant scandal or something like that. Refreshing! Thanks for telling us what we already knew, CBS!

More “global warming” data scandals!

The latest scandal to emerge in the great global warming hoax comes to us from the University of East Anglia, where climate scientists have now admitted that much of the original data upon which they have based their claims of global warming were unceremoniously dumped, recycled or otherwise trashed… way back in the 1980s!

London’s Times Online writes fearlessly about this scandal, which draws into question yet other chunk of research that cannot be verified when used to support the ever-more-shaky global warming hypothesis upon which the cap-and-trade swindle is being based.

Whether blaming the internal combustion engine or spa filters, it seems no matter how many “green weeks” NBC, The CW and other networks have each year, Algore and his zittoheads are being proven fools and flim-flam artists extraordinaire more and more as time marches on… need I mention this was one of the colder summers on record in decades?
