Dems on Nuclear Option in 2005

OBAMA & DEMS IN 2005: 51 VOTE ‘NUCLEAR OPTION’ IS ‘ARROGANT’ POWER GRAB AGAINST THE FOUNDER’S INTENT

In this video from 2005 you will view leading Dems pontificating about the so called Senate "Nuclear Option", otherwise known as "reconciliation"; a rarely employed tactic to stifle filibuster and allow for a simple majority to prevail. The Dems are singing a very different tune today and refuse to rule out use of the tactic to ram through their monstrous health care bill.

CPAC 2010 Speech Highlights: Gingrich & Beck




Following is the complete (1 hour) video of Glenn Beck's address.









Historian, author, and former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker, Newt Gingrich, spoke earlier in the day; his speech (35 minutes) titled "Principled Bipartisanship Starts at 2 + 2 = 4" can be viewed here.

Newt's, professorial demeanor lent credence to the seriousness of our Nation's political and economic dilemma and was a stark contrast to the antics of Glenn Beck, who with his ever present chalkboard, outlined the dangers of Progressivism with his, by now, well known delivery of comic gesture, grimace, and patter. Both speakers were quite effective despite their very different approaches to the plight of the U.S.A. in 2010.

Here is an audio snippet from the Gingrich speech. (MP3 2:57) and
an audio snippet from the Beck presentation. (MP3 2:26)
