This is the first in what promises to be many more motivational videos to get younger folks actively involved in the Republican Party via the Rhode Island Young Republicans.
This video is simply entitled “Welcome to 2010″:
This mock ad was put together by 96.9 FM WTKK in Boston, making fun of the tone of the negative ads being run against Scott Brown by the Democrat, what’s her name.
…Scott Brown is so Republican, he’s even registered as a Republican on his voter registration card!
Dems, if you’ve lost Jack, you’ve got issues.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Here is a pretty good web ad from “Keep America Safe,” which hammers President Obama for his slow response during the first 100 Hours following the attempted Terrorist Attack aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253.
The ad shows Obama playing golf at key points during the 100 hours, and that he waited 97 hours afterward to make any public statement about it. He then went back to playing golf.
This might ring a little hollow coming from a liberal like Jack Cafferty on CNN, who said “President Obama hasn’t even made a token effort” to keep his repeated campaign promises of openness about health care reform transparency. Gee, ya think?
Washington (CNN) – The top Republican in the House of Representatives is backing a move by C-SPAN to allow television coverage of House-Senate health care reform negotiations.
In a December 30 letter to Democratic and Republican congressional leadership, C-SPAN Chairman Brian Lamb requested that they “open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage.”
C-SPAN is a non-profit cable entity largely devoted to coverage of Congress.
House Minority Leader John Boehner supports C-SPAN’s move, saying “hard-working families won’t stand for having the future of their health care decided behind closed doors.”
“Secret deliberations are a breeding ground for more of the kickbacks, shady deals and special-interest provisions that have become business as usual in Washington. Too much is at stake to have a final bill built on payoffs and pork-barrel spending,” added Boehner, in a letter to Lamb that was released Tuesday.
Democrats say it’s impossible to predict what kind of media coverage might be possible, given that it is unclear at best if there will be any formal negotiations between the House and Senate to merge the two chambers’ health care reform bills into one piece of legislation.
“We will continue to keep the American people informed,” said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, a member of the House Democratic leadership.
“There has never been a more open process for any legislation,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But “we will do what is necessary to pass the bill.”
Pelosi and Van Hollen spoke to reporters Tuesday, after huddling with other House Democratic leaders.
Top Democrats are prepared to short-circuit the traditional legislative process and exclude their GOP counterparts during final congressional health care deliberations, senior Democratic sources have told CNN. Democrats are trying to prevent the Republicans from using Senate rules to slow the push for final passage of a comprehensive reform bill, the sources added.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to weigh in on Lamb’s request, saying he had not read the letter.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that… unless your name is George W. Bush.
Here is one of the few MSM reports on President Obama’s so-called “Winter White House,” where he and his family are currently staying for their Christmas Vacation.
They are staying at a $9 million estate which is being rented out at a cost of $4,000 a night (or about $56,000). Obama is renting out that house for two weeks, and is also reportedly renting the two houses next door as well for family and friends. He is rumored to be interested in purchasing it.
Here is video called “Obama Promised” produced by a liberal group called “Yes We Still Can,” which hammers President Obama for going back on his word to insist that a “Public Option” be in the Democrats’ Health Care Bill. Those on the Left are not pleased with the Senate bill which omits a so-called “Public Option.” One can only hope that their pressure during the bill reconciliation process between the House and Senate can keep the bill from becoming law.
The issue that has sparked a lot of interest lately, however, has involved schoolteachers, not industrial unions. Their two main unions are the National Education Association (with 3.2 million members, dedicated to themselves first, the Democratic Party second, and the children third) and the American Federation of Teachers (1.4 million members; same priorities).
These unions have played a major role in the decline of public education with go-slow work rules and by making it almost impossible to fire teachers, no matter how incompetent.
Today, however, in both Washington and New York, the collapse of inner-city schools has reached a point where the newspapers can no longer avoid addressing the role of unions…
