Will health care pushing doom the Democrats?
President Barack Obama has taken to nonstop demonizing of the insurance industry — a sign of desperation over the prospects of passing health care reform. Meanwhile, some Republicans say that if Obama succeeds in persuading Democrats to push reform through Congress on a party-line basis, a GOP battle cry of “Repeal It!” will sweep the 2010 elections.By Morton Kondracke, Roll Call , March 16, 2010

The administration gave signs of retreating on demands that senators jettison special home-state deals sought by individual lawmakers that have angered the public.By By Libby Quaid, The Associated Press , March 15, 2010
Letter to the editor: Democrats will try to rewrite history before the election
It is an election year and many of our politicians will be attempting to rewrite history. That will be especially true of the Democrats, who have embraced President Barack Obama’s liberal agenda. Millions of dollars will be spent trying to help us forget.By Vernon V. Wangen , March 05, 2010
Letter to the editor: Democrats will transform U.S. into void of capitalism
The No. 1 cause of poverty in the world is government. The more power a government has over its people, the poorer they are. America’s prosperity is a product of freedom. You don’t see boatloads of refugees leaving our shores.By Brent McCarthy , March 04, 2010
Fear of Democrats in power nothing new
The first great rule followed by all American politicians and most journalists is to flatter the people about how smart and savvy they are. The reality, of course, is that much of the electorate is so poorly informed that it’s a wonder our political system works as well as it does, which many think is hardly at all.By Gene Lyons, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette , March 03, 2010

Potter, a state senator from Bismarck, is the only declared Democratic candidate so far in the U.S. Senate race, and during his announcement, Potter said he wanted to “raise the level of civility in politics.” He said the Democrats’ first ad of the campaign is inconsistent with his pledge, although its claims are accurate.By By Kristen M.

Senate Democrats: Health care bill ‘on life support’
President Barack Obama’s health care appeal failed to break the congressional gridlock Thursday, dimming hopes for millions of uninsured Americans.

Democrats get wake-up call
President Barack Obama is a much wiser man as he starts his second year in office. When he arrived at the White House, Obama inherited an insurmountable legacy of a deep recession and two wars in the Middle East. These are issues hardly adaptable to instant solutions for an impatient public. He was flying high as a presidential candidate offering “change” from the heavy hand of conservatives empowered from the days of Ronald Reagan, who had turned the country to the right.By Helen Thomas, Hearst Newspapers , January 28, 2010
