I’m still amazed the Democrats are using Reconciliation. It’s just so inappropriate. But this is all on top of an amazingly brazen and belligerent bill – so my surprise is simply due to my optimism.

Do you think a woman who had posed nude could ever achieve national political office?

I was just thinking about how the unions took the deal they just got with their ‘Cadillac’ healthcare plans?
Personally, and specifically Citibank – I don’t care if they ram it up their ass sideways with the trunk open. But rationally and fundamentally, it’s just another example of the philosophical approach the Left takes to problem solving:
This is great. I watch the news online and listen through the radio. Since the Obamania hit my news sources degraded down mainly to Fox news (online) and Michigan Public Radio. Throughout the day I usually catch the Fox latest videos. This evening I did my normal dabble over on some other cable new websites. I do this mainly just to get a feel for the far left – so I usually go right to MSNBC.
one must meet aggression with aggression to stop its actions. Obama’s ideas about negotiation aren’t unprecedented. They just don’t work and many who try them fall out of history – because they either do no good or are simply destroyed. The Clinton era was to be an new age of engagement too.
Gosh, reminds me of someone else…
Yeah, definitely reminds of someone else, I just can’t quite place it though.
They’re just bolstering their ideological side. You’re right, the bill isn’t written. But 
whatever it is will grant the government significant control of the health care system – which is what the left wants. In general, proponents of the bill are backing whatever it is because they believe government needs to take significant control. Opponents of the bill appose it because they believe the government should not take significantly more control.
I was just listening to BBC. It’s a good thing to do every other day or so. You get a clean outside perspective. They were describing the Cash for Clunkers program. LOL Just the way they dryly described it made it sound so totally stupid. The British accent “Cash for Clunkers,” then talking about the $4500 subsidy for buying a new car, how the dealers didn’t get the money up front so are crippled cash flow wise, how the program is so backed up, how it was so popular the whole 2 billion – or whatever – was used up in the first 48 hours, and how it effectively is causing people to “reschedule” their purchases. And the best part was summarizing the story by calling the Cash for Clunkers an indicator of how effective Obama’s philosophy of buying one’s self into prosperity will be.
In a single payer option there would be no competition. That’s why it’s called single payer. That’s what Canada and Australia have. It only concerns the payment side, like Medicare. Obama did believe in this until just recently. I mean, that was one of the reasons many people voted for him. But now he no longer supports it.
Obama, since he started his candidacy, has used somewhat rosy numbers to calculate the costs and benefits of the policies he advocates. His first big one was the promise of “tax cuts” for the poor and middle class, do you remember, even for people who don’t pay income taxes in order to “spread the wealth around”? And added to that he was also going to reduce the national debt. Yeah, campaigns are historically full of wishful promises.
