health care “reform”
The House passed HR3962, commonly known as PelosiCare / ObamaCare, this evening, with 39 Dems voting against and one Republican (Cao) voting for it. The battle isn’t over yet. Let’s keep fighting. In other news, this happened. Very cool of former President W.
a couple quick thoughts
Yes, the wins by Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell were important. I don’t think that the loss by Corzine in NJ was completely surprising. Even in New Jersey, at some point the voters had to say to themselves, “We’ve had enough of Jon Corzine, and his total lack of ability to be a competent governor.” [...]
no sale
I agree with Congressman Joe Wilson. The President has misrepresented what the Democrats are proposing to do with our health care. Unfortunately, the rules of decorum prevent Republicans from saying what they think out loud unless it agrees with what President Obama has already said. After all, we know how well the Democrats [...]
initial comments on health care “reform”
I will get to Dr. Arthur Laffer’s analysis in a future post. I have several initial comments on the subject of health care “reform” that I want to bring to the table before I get to his brilliant work. If you want to talk about a subject that should be demanding the attention of the [...]
honest debate
That’s all the citizens opposing this health care reform want here – an honest debate where we are told the truth about the proposals currently being discussed for transformative changes in the way health care works in this country. We want our representatives to know and understand what they are voting on at least — [...]
try something else
Let’s move on from the Barack Obama birth certificate controversy. Much more important things to worry about. Snopes.com debunks the rumors that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen, and thus ineligible to be President of the United States here. According to Snopes, the Certificate of Live Birth provided by the Obama campaign is not [...]
the presser
Several things crossed my mind while I was listening to President Obama’s “press conference”. Here we go. 1) More people could afford health care if they had jobs. That’s where the President’s focus should be right now, rather than on national / universal (whatever the term we are using this week is) health care or [...]
this and that
On SCOTUS: Judge Sonia Sotomayor should be evaluated based on her work experience and judicial record, not on her compelling personal story. At the very least, Republicans should ask a few hard questions before allowing this confirmation to proceed through the Senate. On the CIA/Cheney: If the CIA doesn’t have plans (secret or otherwise) to [...]
wonder which side they are on?
This was on the Investor’s Business Daily editorial page: Not since a misguided piece of legislation imposed tariffs that turned a recession into a depression has there been a piece of legislation as bad as Waxman-Markey. The 1,000-plus-page American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) is being rushed to a vote by House Speaker [...]
great headline
Roger Simon’s article at Politico : “Obama plays Goldilocks on Iran“. Ha. In all seriousness, though, I can’t say that I’m happy about the way President Obama has handled this Iran election mess. Those who object to President Obama’s handling of this situation aren’t asking for a military intervention here. What we expect from our [...]
