As much I appreciate their efforts to fight real racism, they dilute those efforts by this rhetoric.

This argument undermines their overall credibility.

Pawlenty and others suggested that there is no reason that health care plans for group coverage need to be limited to one’s place of employment or even to a job at all. They have also suggested that allowing the purchasing of health insurance across state lines would mitigate all kinds of costs and help improve competition.

I get angry that a favorite talking point of Pelosi/Reid/Obama and all the surrogates is that the other party hasn’t offered alternatives. Not true at all. What is true is that the media hasn’t given them enough air time to promote those alternatives. The fourth estate has not done its job.

When someone like Camille Paglia of Slate admits the Obama/House health package is an utter mess, it says a lot. Paglia is very left of center on most issues but is honest enough a writer to not let her leanings get in the way of her common sense when the left is plain not making sense in the same way Pat Buchanan is very right of center on most issues but is honest enough to draw attention to when the right is way off the mark.

Basic economics. When less people are buying something – the price goes up.
