Back when I worked for Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-NH) in the 1980s, there was a saying among members of the Budget Committee he served on and the staff: “A million here and a million there, and eventually you are talking about serious money.” Those now appear to be the “good old days” compared to the [...]
WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s alive.
The Medicare end-of-life planning provision that 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said was tantamount to ‘death panels’ for seniors is staying in the latest Democratic health care bill unveiled Thursday.
The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions [...]
I am at a loss of words. Go to the website and scroll down to the lower left corner were it reads “Paid for by Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee”.
This belongs to the party of our President! My children are growing up in a country I do not recognize!!!!
Why Joe Lieberman caucuses with the democrats, I will never know. But between him and Sen. Robert Byrd (D), the Democrats have no chance of gaining 60 votes to pass Reid’s health care plan. Still, the fight is not over until the liberals plan is dead and true health reform, that is in the publics [...]
One of the big debates over fiscal policy is the discussion of “priorities.” Government, is going to spend, it is merely a question in what areas, we are told. In that debate we are told that Democrats (or liberals of any political party) are for the “poor,” while conservatives are for the “rich.” We often [...]
As a general rule, I avoid buying into chain mails like the plaque. Most seem to be put together to get a rise out of you, some are inspirational, humorous and a few even have hints of truth.
For some reason, this one is different. Though I cannot confirm if the name of the author is [...]
WASHINGTON (AP) – Forget Sarah Palin. The female maverick of the Republican Party is Sen. Olympia Snowe.
The 62-year-old, moderate Maine lawmaker voted on Tuesday for a Democratic health care bill, breaking with her party and giving a major boost to President Barack Obama’s drive to expand coverage to millions of Americans.
“When history calls, history calls,” [...]
The United States government has, for years, put a premium on the act of voting. The idea is, the more people voting, the better. Are you getting your license renewed? Apply for a voters’ registration! Are you applying for Food Stamps? Go ahead and register to vote! This idea, however, goes completely against the grain of trying to [...]
The Democrat National Committee (DNC) just got their hand caught in the cookie jar! For the past several days, both the DNC and the White House have been claiming that key republican figures have been supporting their health care reform proposals. This may be true for the likes of Governor Schwarzenegger and a few others, [...]
What is this almost mystical link between Conservatism and The US Constitution?
I say this as my opening salvo because I do not see liberalism touting the truth and strength of our Constitution, ever, to defend their ideals. Conservatism, as strictly a “political ideal”, would die without it. Time and again I see and hear Conservatism [...]
