“He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.
I don’t understand the euphoria. Of course the plan will fail, everything the left touches, fails.
But it will pass congress, sooner or later and I don’t know why no one thinks that. Some form of private insurance killing initiative will pass, period, between now and 2010.
It’s headlines like this that convince me that it will pass. Our opposition will not give up. The battle is not even 25% over yet. Celebrating every trial balloon sent up will only undermine the resolve on our side. The only real way to kill this bill is to make sure that every vulnerable Dem or GOP congressman who championed the bill is put out to pasture next November.
I think it’s still a little early to call it the Hindenburg, but I guess time will tell. Let’s see if the Dems double down when they get to Washington in September. The Dems are very good at enforcing party discipline — much better than the GOP. Their tactics right now are to stabilize the situation why they look to outflank the opposition rather than any meaningful retreat.
On how town-hall protests have affected the health-care debate:
Astonishingly, I was wrong. Empirical evidence is in. Remarkably, the protests have had an effect of galvanizing opposition.
I would have thought with some of the images, and particularly the way the media have played it, as rowdies, as — portraying them essentially as a mob — that it would have a negative effect. In fact, it has had the opposite effect.
Amazing that a beltway guy could misread the common folks!

Oh please, keeping delaying any consideration of HC reform. Every day they don’t deliberate is like driving a nail in a coffin.

I’m not saying to slacken efforts by any means
But I now think this bill is a political Hindenburg which has already started its flaming crash towards the ground…

On the emails… looks like they got caught data mining, people should be PISSED, not surprised though.
