Function: verb 1: In a legislative process, to obstruct passage of a proposed law on the basis of a moral principle (i.e. protecting the unborn), accumulating power in the process, then at a key moment surrendering in exchange for a fig leaf, the size of which varies according to the degree of emasculation of said legislator and/or as a reflection of just how stupid people are presumed to be. (Slang: backstabber.) Poor Bart Stupak. Now, in the wake of his decision to vote "yes" for a health care bill that expands public funding for abortion, he is vilified and will be forever remembered as the guy who Stupaked health care reform and the pro-life movement. Of all the disappointed activists, Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org and creator of StandWithStupak.com, was perhaps the most demonstrative in his support of pro-life Democrats.
A helmeted British Barack Obama says, "Our cavalry will ride them down like grass. ... Health Care's New Nullifiers. WASHINGTON -- Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli seems determined to use an attack on health care reform to bring us back to the 1830s. Cuccinelli, to cheers from the Tea Party crowd, went to court this week to overturn the new law, which he says conflicts with a Virginia statute "protecting its citizens from a government-imposed mandate to buy health insurance. " "Normally, such conflicts are decided in favor of the federal government," he said, "but because we believe the federal law is unconstitutional, Virginia's law should prevail.
" The Republican attorney general's move reveals how far into the past America's New Nullifiers want to push the nation. They don't just want to abandon a more than seven-decade-long understanding of the Constitution's interstate commerce clause that has allowed the federal government to regulate a modern, national economy. There are two issues here. One is whether the federal government can require individuals to buy health insurance. Karl Rove: What Republicans Should Do Now.

Democrats on Wednesday made financial reform their new top domestic priority, vowing to enact an overhaul of Wall Street this year and warning opponents not to stand in the way.
President Barack Obama is looking to Congress to pass a regulatory bill in the next few months, and key congressional Democrats said they are emboldened to act following the passage of healthcare legislation on Sunday night. Republicans who voted unanimously against healthcare reform will suffer the political consequences using the same strategy on Wall Street reform, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) told The Hill on Wednesday. “My hope is that they’ll want to talk about solutions,” Dodd said. “Or they can just sit there and explain to people why they want to side with the largest financial institutions ...
“So we’ll see how they respond, and I hope they don’t make the same mistake they made on healthcare,” Dodd concluded. Neal Wolin, deputy Treasury secretary, went to the U.S. Sen.

One way anti-Jewish sentiment has been interpreted is simply as a quid pro quo . Gentile animosity, in this view, does to the Jews what the Jews have done, or at least would like to do, to Gentiles”because we Jews present ourselves as the chosen people. In the seventeenth century, Baruch Spinoza suggested that the Jews made the Gentiles hate them by claiming to be God’s people and setting themselves apart by their practice of circumcision”the bodily sign of God’s covenantal election. In 1938, immediately after the Nazi pogroms of Kristallnacht , George Bernard Shaw wondered why the Jews were complaining so loudly; after all, wasn’t this what the chosen people did to the Canaanites in the process of conquering the promised land?

Yes, the Obama-Antichrist poll was that bad. Gary Langer at ABC has more details on that bad poll by Harris. It’s worse than I thought. First off, the methodology is terrible. This was not a scientific poll at all. Harris Interactive did not select people from a random pool. Second, the poll wording and structure follows the pattern of a push poll. This is the kind of trick that campaigns use to make negative attacks on a candidate without making it an ad traceable back to the campaign. It works sometimes, too, though in this case it’s clear to me the idea was to get a bad result to attempt to discredit the poll takers, rather than the President.
Harris indeed goes the next step by reporting its results as what its respondents’ “believe” and as opinions they “hold,” as if they themselves came up with these notions, rather than having them one-sidedly set before them on a platter.
