Dems say they need better liars

David Limbaugh:

Lawrence Auster, in his always thoughtful "View from the Right" blog, ties my (Limbaugh's) current column, "The Never-ending Clinton Factor," to Peter Beinart's latest piece in The New Republic. Auster observes:

... Peter Beinart says the Dems, rather than being divided by mutual recriminations in the aftermath of the election, are in fact far too united for their own good. Instead of criticizing themselves and changing, they are complacently agreeing with each other that they basically did nothing wrong in the election. All they need to do, the Democrats are assuring themselves, is to try to convince the public that they are patriotic, that they can be trusted with the national defense, and that they are not cultural and moral aliens. But, as Beinart correctly points out, that is exactly what the Democrats strove so hard to do in this last election. How could anyone forget their ludicrous national convention, with its wall-to-wall evocations of patrioticm and military virtue that came across as false as a three-dollar bill?
This is an excellent point. The Dems are delusional if they don't realize they already tried to put on a mask in this last campaign. That is not to say that they couldn't succeed with a better candidate, but it's interesting that they apparently don't even realize they've already tried it.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
