Alex, in this article (Oct. 1, 2009 13:01 EDT) you wrote:
"The knock on the Democrats for some time now has been that they're too timid, that they roll over every time... Democrats are not doing much to change that reputation lately."
But less than 24 hours ago (Sep 30, 2009 17:40 EDT) this was your response to Alan Grayson's attempt to give the GOP a bit of payback:
"Grayson's claim ... [is] no different from all the talk from the other side of the aisle about "death panels" in the Democratic proposal."
So I guess when Dems aren't being spineless, they're mean and unfair.
You said "I can't see how anyone would see this as a danger to our country."
Luckily for you, you don't think like GOP congresscritters:
"GOP Rep: Health reform scarier than terrorism
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congresswoman says people have more to fear from Democratic health care legislation than from terrorists.
Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina made the comments in a speech on the House floor Monday.
She said that the greatest threat to freedom is the Democrats' health care overhaul bill, which she called a tax increase bill.
Foxx said that she believe "we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country."
The Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote later this week on the sweeping health care overhaul legislation. Foxx said it was scary because it would raise taxes, increase the power of federal bureaucrats and force people to buy government-mandated coverage."

(PS to War Room: When can we expect an article chastising Rep. Foxx for going too far? You know, like you wrote about Alan Grayson for his comments that offended your delicate sensibilities? I think you'll agree that there's a "kernel of a point" in comparing your reactions.)
I don't care much about the WH boycott, especially since everyone except the wackiest birthers knows that Fox "News" isn't a legitimate news organization.
But how about asking Senate Dems, in particular Harry Reid, to kick Lieberman out of the caucus? Lieberman's bragged about joining the GOP to oppose health care reform. Now the bastard wants to stir up fear and anger by holding hearings on the possibility of terrorism being behind the Fort Hood killings.
God forbid he should use his Homeland Security chairmanship to look into ripoffs by Haliburton et al, or actual matters of security.
This SOB needs to get thrown out of the Caucus and his committee chairmanship(s?) NOW.
What is this, NPR's "Talk of the Nation"? Who gives a rat's ass?
I don't see anything about Sarah Palin in this article.
Furthermore, it references sources like CBS News and the AP. Where is the People Magazine citation?
