This is an interesting article on where they stand in the aftermath of the Health deform Law. I am always struck by the lack of leadership by Congressman Castle even when he comes down on the right side of the issue. He is right that repeal is hopeless this year. I do not care if [...]

UPDATE: I have been waiting for my progressive friends to debunk this. As I said in the post, when you pass a bill which is constantly changing you get these types of concerns. I wanted to prove a point that the process breeds suspicion. You didn’t take my challenge so I will. A class 2 [...]

So the health care bill is passed and signed, but the party may just be getting started. There is a lot of work to be done still. The most notable order of business is probably reconciliation. The Senate has to approve of the changes that the House bill made to the bill they passed last [...]

From Governor Palin’s Facebook We’ve been reminded many times that elections have consequences. Yesterday we saw the consequence of voting for those who believe in “fundamentally transforming” America whether we want it or not. Yesterday they voted. In November, we get to vote. We won’t forget what we saw yesterday. Congress passed a bill while [...]

Many of us who consider ourselves to be conservative are troubled by the passing of Pres. Obama’s health care bill. And don’t fool yourself by thinking that this isn’t his bill just as much as it is any other Democrat who supported it and voted for it. Some of our concerns are truly selfish, that [...]

Washington, Mar 21 – 2010 The debate about how to reshape health insurance in order to reduce skyrocketing costs, and increase access, has dominated the attention of Congress for the past year. While there are many areas of agreement, Congress and the American public remain divided and it is easy to see why. While I [...]

Stop Pro-Abortion Health Bill say the Catholic Bishops in a final appeal. I concur. There is no health value in increasing abortion. It is the gravest of evils. I oppose this bill because I believe it is poor policy. The other side believes that more Americans benefit than are harmed. I believe it is possible [...]

Senator Coburn has thrown down the gauntlet to house sell outs. For state employees blocked from Youtube and slow connections, here is the money quote. Can you say scorched earth? SEN.

“If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing”, Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) said. He was speaking recently on the raiding of social security and the trust funds. Almost on cue, the new CBO report shows that the reconciliation amendments to so called health care reform (deform is my preference) will cost around 70 [...]

Well I have had a busy day. With the 9-12 Delaware Patriots I stopped by Rep Castle and Senator Carper’s district offices in Dover.

The Pelosi Healthcare Plan is an “Obama”-nation A 2,700 page healthcare bill is the PROBLEM, not the solution. It’s a desperate grab for more power. Nancy Pelosi is trying to force this massive plan of corruption and mismanagement on the people of America with the battle cry – Pass it first, We’ll read it later. [...]

Nancy Pelosi and company are leading the lambs to the slaughter. They are defying the will of the people. They are in a dream world in which they think that people just misunderstand health care reform. They claim that people are for the bill when it is broken down into some parts and polled. That [...]

How do you pass a bill without voting on it? I do not know if this would survive a court challenge, but it is bound to doom the Democrat party like nothing else. They are attempting to pass a bill while claiming not to vote for it. This twisted scheme to push a rule covering [...]

by Derek Baker Less than one week ago, President Obama stood before an assembled audience of hand- picked sympathizers on healthcare reform at the White House and called on Congress to pass his healthcare reform package into law… again. Having spent his entire year long presidency singularly focused on passing a massive, trillion dollar, federal [...]

Written by Glen Asbury Friday, 05 March 2010 16:14 Can anything possibly be written about health care that hasn’t already been hashed out ad nauseum? Since this time a year ago, we’ve been discussing why socialized medicine is disastrous, why America’s government can’t afford to finance all of the health care coverage a bill like [...]

The Labor Premier Danny Williams of Newfoundland and constant critic of Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Harper, went to Miami for his Cardiac surgery. “It is my health and my choice:, he declared. No one can disagree with that sentiment. The question is why has he been such a staunch critic of reformers? In Canada, it [...]

There are no more back room deals for health care reform. The President just included 80 billion in sweeteners for house members in the open. The plan also raises taxes, usurps state’s rights, strips House protections against abortion funding, and increases government regulatory control. Then our President will wonder why no Republicans sign on.

Governor Markell and the Democrat Governors were pushing the bipartisan jobs bill and decrying the partisanship in Washington. Markell said to Foxnews, Republican lawmakers have effectively put Obama on his heels by blocking Democratic initiatives. “The challenge has been to get through the clutter of ‘No,”‘ he said. Interestingly, he ignored that Republicans did not block [...]

If some one sees signs of a person diagnosed with minimal consciousness having more, it is because they do. Recent research shows that some people in a “vegetative state” are very conscious, but disconnected from their bodies. Should we not apply our technology to helping tens of thousands of forgotten individuals? We saw the murder [...]

Anyone thinking of getting married better think twice. Obama Care is going to discriminate in favor of single people living together over married couples. According to the Wall Street Journal: “The built-in “marriage penalty” in both House and Senate healthcare bills has received scant attention. But for scores of low-income and middle-income couples, it could [...]
