A TEA PARTY CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS IN MASSACHUSETTS, ENDORSED BY ROBBIE GEORGE, NIALL FERGUSON, AND WILL HAPPER: Mike Stopa. I’d love to see him elected.
UPDATE: This post is actually by me, not by Helen. Tricked by the PJ Media Single-Sign-On and computer-sharing again. Likewise the one below.
SCOTT RASMUSSEN ON THE SHUTDOWN:
Not long ago, the conventional wisdom in official Washington held that the so-called sequester spending cuts would be a disaster for the Republican Party. They were expected to rise up in vehement protest once the “cuts” went into effect.
Instead, nobody outside of Washington noticed.
Today, the conventional wisdom suggests that the so-called government shutdown is a big time loser for the GOP. But, once again, few Americans other than federal workers have really noticed any difference.
That’s a big problem for the president. Nothing can be more frightening to liberal politicians than proving how little impact many federal programs have on the day-to-day lives of individual Americans. If nobody notices when they’re missing, it’s hard to argue against trimming the size of government.
Indeed.
PRESIDENT NYET: Obama Rejects House Plan.
UPDATE: More Nyettism from the Democratic Senate: Democrats reject Susan Collins proposal.
Democratic leaders in the Senate are rejecting an offer by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to end the budget impasse, arguing it asks for too much in return for too little, senators and aides tell POLITICO.
The development comes on the same day that the Senate voted 53-45 to block a Democratic bill that would raise the debt ceiling through 2014 without any spending cuts or changes to Obamacare.
The House and Senate GOP should make a “best and final offer,” then leave town if it’s rejected.
