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 [...]
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 [...]
dropping like flies
Sarah Palin is resigning as Governor of Alaska. I think the speculation that she is doing so because she’s running for President in 2012 — and that she needs more prep time than keeping a full-time job in Juneau would allow her — is accurate. It’s fair to question the wisdom of this move, because [...]
shut up you idiot
This week on As South Carolina Turns… How do you solve a problem like Maria? Governor Mark Sanford calls his former (current?) Argentinian gal-pal Maria his “soulmate” but still insists he is “trying to fall in love with his wife again”. Doesn’t sound like a guy who is ready to move on and forget his [...]
decisions
First of all, I want to make it quite clear that these opinions are my own, as a resident of South Carolina, and not as a member of any political party. I don’t speak for the leadership or the membership of the SC GOP, although some of them may share my views on the Sanford [...]
