Lens of Liberty

In the 2006 Congressional elections, Rahm Emanuel, as Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee helped the Democratic party retake the House by capitalizing on anger in the Republican base and putting forth a large number of conservative “blue dog” Democrats. At the time it was a brilliant strategy, but if President Obama wants to know why he’s having so much trouble getting his agenda passed despite majorities in Congress, he need look no further than his Chief of Staff.

Those conservative Democrats who won back the house in ’06 are the same one who are causing problems for the President as he tries to reform take over healthcare.

Doing a heck of a job, Rahmy!

A member of Campaign for Liberty was removed by police for asking about the Constitutional basis for a national health care program. Unfortunately there was no fists thrown, no swastikas, and no tasers so you probably won’t hear this mentioned by the people who want to frame all opposition to the proposed legislation as extremists.

You can read a first hand account of the entire event at Campaign for Liberty.
