N.D. Dem chairman: Hoeven indecisive on Senate run

Dems consider dropping Medicare expansion

The end game at hand, Senate Democrats appeared ready to jettison a proposed Medicare expansion from historic health care legislation Monday in hopes of assuring Christmas-week passage of the bill to extend coverage to tens of millions.

Obama urges Dems to pass health care overhaul

Casting health care overhaul as a legacy for the American people and failure as politically unthinkable, President Barack Obama on Sunday rallied Senate Democrats to deliver on their party’s half-century quest to expand the social safety net by providing access for all.

Dems find hope in Republican chaos

Democrats took it on the chin in this year’s off-off-year gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. Since those are two states that President Obama won last year, vulnerable Democratic lawmakers in next year’s elections are feeling as nervous as Glenn Beck at an ACORN convention.

Democrats worth hearing

Does anyone in Washington tell the truth? Why should Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid be believed when he promises states can “opt-out” of a public option on health care? This isn’t like opting-out of sex education class. Individuals won’t be able to avoid the consequences of national health care once the government puts the insurance companies out of business, because there will be no other choice than the government program.

Letter to the editor: Meeting notice had a little humor, a little irony

I wasn’t expecting to find humor in the Oct 6 article in the family/life section about Sen. Byron Dorgan being the featured speaker at the Democrat’s annual districts 12 and 29 supper, but apparently the Democrat organizers do not see the irony of serving up pork for the meal.

Letter to the editor: Republicans and Democrats need to listen to one another

It seems Americans are ideologically more divided than ever before. The partisan bickering that hit a fever pitch this summer continues at full steam. It is being fueled by the talking heads on the left and the right who make their livelihoods on political conflict.

Trouble in liberal land

Despite their control of all three branches of government, this has not been a good summer for liberal Democrats. Their health care “reform” bill, which has yet to be fully written, much less fully funded, has been exposed at town hall meetings as a power grab over life and death with the strong possibility that “do no harm” will be replaced by a utilitarian approach to treatment.

Dems resist records subpoena

Dems resist records subpoena House Democrats have declined to subpoena available records that might reveal whether other members of Congress got discounted VIP mortgages from subprime lender Countrywide Financial Corp. similar to the sweetheart deals given Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad. Republicans say they are willing to risk that the records now held by Bank of America may show that GOP lawmakers were also “friends of Angelo” who got preferential terms on personal mortgages at the behest of then-Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo.

House Dems clear one health obstacle, others loom

WASHINGTON — House Democrats announced agreement Friday on far-reaching steps designed to rein in the relentless growth of Medicare, part of a concerted effort to counter the impression that President Barack Obama’s health care legislation is in deep trouble.

Letter to the editor: Democrats acting wrongly on health care reform

I love the irony. The same day Democratic-NPL hack Brad Mills called right-wingers “self-righteous, drunk-on-power hypocrites,” Senate Democrats moved to limit the opposition’s ability to kill a poorly considered health care reform package (Bloom-berg — April 24, “Democrats Agree to Fast Track for Health Care Revamp”).
