Scroll for updates…Becker goes down…

I filled you in last October on Craig Becker, the radical SEIU lawyer whom President Obama nominated for a slot on the National Labor Relations Board.
Well, in the wake of his abominable health care takeover sellout, beleaguered Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson is reportedly joining the GOP opposition to Becker. The Massachusetts [...]

Please.
The White House spends a full year trashing Republicans for having no ideas on health care reform.
The White House spend a full year promising transparency while subverting it.
And now, after a year’s worth of closed backroom meetings and midnight holiday weekend legislative sessions in which Republicans had severely curtailed ability to offer amendments, President Obama [...]

The door is this way…

DLTDHYOTWO!*
See ya:
Scott Lee Cohen, the pawnbroker whose surprise victory in last week’s Democratic lieutenant governor primary was followed by scandalous revelations about him, quit the race tonight during the half time of the Super Bowl, saying he didn’t want to “put the people of Illinois in jeopardy in any way.”
Cohen made the tearful announcement at [...]

Cede the children, feed the state.

Following up on illegal lobbying complaints against President Obama’s SEIU pals Andy Stern and Anna Burger, CNSNews.com reports that an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. is ongoing:
Federal prosecutors are reviewing a request for an investigation into whether Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), violated the Lobbying Disclosure Act [...]

Oops. The head of the Purple Shirted Army got carried away with his rhetoric — likening his political opponents to terrorists.
When his underlings use such rhetoric against Tea Party activists — as SEIU goon Dennis Rivera did in a phone conference with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last summer — there’s no problem, of course.
But [...]

We’re an hour and a half away from President Obama’s Swagga Recovery Speech. He’s going to get his mojo back, we’re told, by acknowledging missteps — and then dumping the blame on lobbyists. Seriously. I know a lot of folks are organizing SOTU drinking games. But I don’t need the headache. This [...]

The SEIU dumped more than $1 million into Martha Antoinette Coakley’s coffers and has nothing to show for it.
In a significant turning point for Big Labor, the “persuasion of power” thuggery of the Purple Shirts failed.
But instead of apologizing to his rank-and-file members for wasting their money (which SEIU President Andy Stern’s SEIU goons have [...]

Scroll for updates…Coakley’s last gasp…

On Sunday night, Public Policy Polling (swing state specialists) released the latest stunning numbers in the Massachusetts Senate race. Martha Antoinette Coakley is hemorrhaging independents and the enthusiasm gap is widening as the Bay State heads into the January [...]

All aboard.

Remember the proposed Dem tax on investment income to pay for the government health care takeover that I told you about the other day?
Just a follow-up on the backroom deals being cut by Obama and his Big Labor thug-cronies, via The Foundry. Here’s what the tax will pay for:
Yesterday, President Barack [...]

Mass. Democrat/state Attorney General Martha Coakley can’t keep the vote of a sheet metal worker/union member she paid to hold signs for her.
And despite her “law and order” platform, she can’t keep the votes of police unions, either. Not even one affiliated with her Purple Shirt patrons at the SEIU.
The Worcester Telegram reports:
Republican U.S. Senate [...]

Raise your hand if you stand for Business as Usual.
My column today shines light on Democrat Mass. Attorney General/Senate candidate Martha Coakley’s career tolerance for the culture of corruption.
While she cracks down on little gardening clubs, she has turned a blind eye to far bigger, dirtier, rotten scoundrels. The Big Labor spigots are flowing. [...]

I told you on New Year’s weekend and again last week that the SEIU was “pulling out all the stops” for Mass. Attorney General and Democrat Senate candidate Martha Coakley.
Now, on top of all the manpower that the Big Labor army of Purple Shirts has lent her, plus the group’s primary endorsement, and the $214,000 [...]

The Boston Herald urges Massachusetts taxpayers to vote for hope and change:
Sometimes one vote can make a difference – especially if it’s one vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
If you love what’s going on in Washington, well, then by all means vote for Martha Coakley. She’s a perfectly nice person, and she won’t [...]

Humming High Anxiety…

Politico’s Ben Smith reports that the DNC is sending a senior press aide up to Boston to help out Democrat Sen. candidate Martha Coakley.
Can Purple Shirt Commanding General Andy Stern of the SEIU be far behind?
How about the White House? Maybe we’ll get our reverse Midas wish, after all!
At a weekend fundraiser for [...]

I noted on Friday that libs were getting “anxious” about the MA Senate race.
The latest numbers from Public Policy Polling should have them hitting the panic button even faster:
The Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.
Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican [...]

Gird your loins.
The latest job numbers are out and they’re worse than expected.
Which means it’s time for another White House green jobs boondoggle campaign:
The White House pitched Friday’s jobless report as the start to stabilization while President Barack Obama planned to push for another $5 billion to help create much-needed jobs.
Obama planned an afternoon [...]

I encouraged you last week to fight the SEIU/Demcare corruption and contribute to MA GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown’s campaign.
The election date — Jan. 19 — is rapidly approaching and the race has turned competitive thanks to grass-roots conservative pressure.
The NYTimes takes notice today. In a word, Democrats are “anxious:”
While Ms. Coakley kept a low [...]

As if you needed more evidence of the boondoggle-ishness of the Green Jobs racket, two items for your file:
1) Via Inside Charm City, Maryland’s Democrat Senators dole out green job funding to an SEIU partnership…
Senators Benjamin L. Cardin and Barbara A. Mikulski (both D-Md.) today announced the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes funding for [...]

Last month, I noted how Massachusetts Senate GOP candidate Scott Brown called out rival Democrat candidate Martha Coakley’s SEIU thug pals.
The Purple Shirts continue to “pull out all the stops” to install Coakley in Teddy Kennedy’s seat. The special election will be held January 19.
SEIU endorsed her in October, poured $214,000 into a [...]

“It was anything but SEIU.”

In August, Democrats in Denver tried to blame conservative Tea Party activists and Obamacare foes of vandalism at the party’s downtown headquarters.
Remember?
Even after the hammer-wielding suspect was revealed to be a far Left anarchist nutball who had worked for the SEIU-tied 527 group Colorado Citizens Coalition and once canvassed for a state Democratic candidate, state [...]

The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack reports tonight that Illinois Democrat Sen. Roland Burris is claiming credit for inserting a provision that may benefit ACORN.
But it’s not just the ACORN angle that’s scandalous.
It’s the race hustler shakedown.
Why, oh, why do we need to be funding massive new federal bureaucracies to create separate “Offices of Minority Health” [...]

Seems like only yesterday the Washington establishment had proclaimed the Death of the GOP. Pundits churned out public autopsy reports faster than the L.A. County Medical Examiner. Liberals gloated over the supposedly irreparable fissures between right-wing populists and Beltway Republican elites. Conservatism, we were told, [...]

GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown is calling out the SEIU and Democrat rival Martha Coakley in Massachusetts for using state resources to campaign.
Coakley is the state Attorney General. Fox guarding the henhouse:
Republican Senate hopeful Scott Brown has filed a complaint with the State Ethics Commission after a report that a union backing rival Martha Coakley [...]
