HEAT ON TITUS

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desperation can't be underestimated, which means Nevada Rep. Dina Titus, one of many vulnerable incumbent Democrats, is probably taking more heat than Mercury right about now.

There is nothing redeeming about the crushing new health insurance regulations proposed by President Obama and Democratic Party leaders. ... A majority of Americans want nothing to do with it. But Mr. Obama, Ms. Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid don't care. They're more than willing to roll the dice come November in order to impose the decades-old progressive dream of nationalized health care. ...

Make no mistake: Any member of Congress who actually believes that this 2,000-page monster will save money and force more efficiencies on the U.S. health care system deserves to be voted out of office for embracing such obvious nonsense in the first place.

Rep. Titus claims to be a ... a practitioner of fiscal responsibility. But she'll be exposed as just another tax-and-spend Democrat if she tows the Pelosi-Reid-Obama line on this issue -- and will deserve what she gets come November.

If Mr. Jaffe’s goal is to rally readers against partisan gerrymandering, his argument would be far more compelling if it condemned abuses on both sides —especially when the offense in his own backyard is even more blatant.
