The Death Panels are nothing new. In fact, they were part of the Republicans' efforts to buy the vote of every old person in America by buying them prescription drugs in 2003 and President Obama mentioned something about "independent groups" giving guidance to health care providers as to what treatments to give old people. I would call the "independent groups" death panels.
Remember when I said that when the left gets their health care bill they would use the specter of the Republicans getting rid of your health care as a way to win elections? Look no further than formerly Great Britain for the example of a British member of the European Parliament being labeled a "traitor" by his own party for criticizing their government health care system. Meanwhile, Canada is looking at increasing the amount of private-sector competition to their single-payer system, which is "imploding," according to the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association.
Yesterday HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius floated the idea that the "public option" might not be a mandatory part of health care reform, which caused a big blowback from liberals who said that health care reform without a public option will not pass the House. The Administration responded by saying that Sebelius "misspoke," the ultimate BS answer. The alternative to the public option would be a series of healthcare "co-ops" that would compete in the market and could be a positive development if it wasn't for the fact that they would still be funded and run by the federal government.
Despite the fact that now 54% of American voters say that passing no health care reform is better than passing the current proposals in Congress, Sen. "Benedict" Arlen Specter (Specter-PA) still says that town hall protestors are not representative of America. In the eyes of the media, town hall protestors have gone from being called the "Brooks Brothers brigade" to being castigated for having no fashion.
Obama made his case for health care reform in the New York Times this weekend and continues to play on the heartstrings of Americans with sob stories that he cherry-picks from that small minority of Americans who don't like their health insurance or who are uninsured. What needs to be examined more is the fact that health care providers can't make profits because of criminal aliens.
Jim Marshall had his meeting at Houston Healthcare this morning, and he said almost nothing except that he opposes a public option.
Despite the scare tactics being employed by the navel-gazing media in their attacks against town hall protestors, there has been no increase in threats to the President.
A majority of Americans do not see the "stimulus" package working. Obama's attempts to take credit for any economic recovery are failing, just like his efforts to help the economy recover.
Auto dealers have only been reimbursed for 2% of the cash-for-clunkers rebates that they have given. This is the government that the Democrats want to run health care.
Cocaine is found on 95% of the banknotes coming from Washington, DC and about 90% of those from major cities across the country.
A Gallup poll shows that conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states. I'll believe it when those so-called "conservatives" actually vote for a conservative candidate for office.
Just one week after the Henry Louis Gates fiasco in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Bob Dylan was requested to present ID in Long Branch, New Jersey. He cooperated.
President Obama is shifting from the government-subsidized "ownership society" of the Bush administration to an even more government-subsidized renting society.
A business owner in Harlem, New York shot and killed two of the four thugs who tried to rob his store. The other two were injured. Four thugs off the street and another crime prevented thanks to a lawful gun owner.
Here's another story, this one from New York, of a kid's lemonade stand being shut down because she didn't have a business permit.
Here's something that should have already been obvious to most people: when it comes to casual sex, men are less picky about looks.
