Democrats: Republicans Don't Matter

Today's must-read:  ObamaCare Is All About Rationing.

 

The White House is dropping any idea of bipartisanship to make sure that they pass health care reform, but the problem will continue to be Democrats, many of whom don't support a public option that the White House is still supporting.  Without the public option, they lose a lot of support from Democrats without gaining much support from Republicans.

 

Democrats, looking for a way to make the private insurance companies into the Great Satan as opposed to just villains, are now investigating health insurance companies.  They're looking for "lavish" spending and "excessive" compensation.

 

Obama needed another way to sell socialized medicine in drag, so he found a sellout "conservative" radio talk show host to do it.  Have no doubt about it; this administration knows the power of talk radio.  He's also trying to get his grassroots organization engaged again, because so far they haven't gotten excited about his plan.  Hope and Change are less sexy when you have to have something real.

 

Howard Dean says that conservatives want to "kill the President."  Apparently we want to stop the Democrats' health care reform plan because we're just ignorant.

 

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) admits that he wants to eliminate private health insurance completely.

 

Tales from socialized medicine:  in formerly Great Britain, over 45,000 NHS staff call in sick to work every day, and a father delivered his pregnant wife's baby on their bathroom floor after being turned away from a hospital.

 

Auto dealers in New York have quit honoring cash-for-clunkers because they can't get paid back from the deals they've already made.

 

The Swiss government has given in to the bullying of the Treasury Department and is agreeing to hand over details of Americans' bank accounts to the IRS.

 

Formerly Great Britain is considering a "High Pay Commission," to "tackle the problem of high pay."

 

Democrats' approval ratings are below 50% for the first time all year.  Republicans' numbers haven't moved at all.

 

Finally science has explained why I'm tone-deaf, the reason you will never hear me sing along with the bump music.

 

Rep. Jim Marshall encountered some protesters this morning for his meeting with the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce in which he gave very few actual answers.  Even though he's still dodging questions, do us all a favor and leave your bullhorn at home for the town hall meeting on Monday.

 

At the Georgia Chamber of Commerce Luncheon yesterday, Rep. Sanford Bishop said that there is a health care "crisis" and pointed out some real problems with the health care system.

 

WMAZ had a story on the candidates for Warner Robins mayor yesterday evening.

 

Former Governor and Democrat candidate for Governor Roy Barnes gave a $2500 check to the baseball Little Leaguers yesterday.  Sure, he's trying to buy votes, but at least the Little Leaguers got something out of it.

 

Congratulations to the WRALL softball girls for making the Little League World Series Championship Game!  Bring home a title, ladies!
