Boehner Congratulates Virginia on Becoming First State to Pass Bill Opting Out of Unconstitutional ObamaCare Mandates
“..We are witnessing a growing state-level revolt against President Obama's massive health care bill -- a revolt that is likely to intensify with the president’s decision this week to try and ram the bill through Congress rather than scrapping it and starting over..."

Will Iraq's democracy vindicate Bush?
..."Speaking on the eve of war in 2003, President George W. Bush told the guests at the American Enterprise Institute's annual dinner that he discerned "hopeful signs of a desire for freedom in the Middle East. Arab intellectuals have called on Arab governments to address the 'freedom gap' so their peoples can fully share in the progress of our times.
"Leaders in the region speak of a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater politics participation, economic openness, and free trade. And from Morocco to Bahrain and beyond, nations are taking genuine steps toward politics reform. A new regime in Iraq would serve as a dramatic and inspiring example of freedom for other nations in the region." David Frum

Obama’s New ‘Poverty’ Measurement
.."The current poverty measure counts absolute purchasing power — how much steak and potatoes you can buy. The new measure will count comparative purchasing power — how much steak and potatoes you can buy relative to other people. As the nation becomes wealthier, the poverty standards will increase in proportion. In other words, Obama will employ a statistical trick to ensure that “the poor will always be with you,” no matter how much better off they get in absolute terms..."

Is the White House playing a double game with House Democrats?
..."Thus the convoluted scheme the White House has mapped out. The House would first pass the Senate bill, and then pass a reconciliation bill that addresses these objections—in effect converting the process into a makeshift and unprecedented vehicle for amendments. Mrs. Pelosi can't rope in the 216 votes she needs without an iron-clad promise of another round of Senate action..."

The GOP Targets State Legislatures
..."Republican strategists are focused on 107 seats in 16 states. Winning these seats would give them control of drawing district lines for nearly 190 congressional seats. Six of these states are projected to pick up a total of nine seats, and five are expected to lose a combined six seats...."Karl Rove

..."The Republican Party has led the efforts to get all Americans a seat at the lunch counter—from abolition to the civil rights movement to welfare reform and beyond. But we also recognize what it will take for this and future generations to own the diner. It’s not by empowering government but by empowering the individual. The virtue of economic empowerment applies to all Americans. And that’s what Republicans stand for: a party of economic empowerment for all. We must commit ourselves to showing the many faces of the Republican Party. We are strong because we are diverse. And it’s through our diversity and commitment to these shared principles that we will reach out and welcome more communities into our Party. The focus of my chairmanship will be to take this message to neighborhoods and communities across the country. Our website is just one lever that we will use to achieve that goal." GOP Chairman Michael Steele
