Pay no attention to the Republican critic behind the curtain
2009-09-10 18:11:00 Well, last evening's show of self-awareness from the Republicans in the House during the president's address concerning Health Care/Insurance Reform has been dissed from many sides, but one thing their sourpuss display has done for the GOP: lamentably it takes attention away from the legislation at hand and from the dire issues of our health care system. It also helps fill Republican Party coffers from whatever supporters they have and hope to have by way of Obama-bashing.The GOP's 'hopeful' de-legitimizing of the presidency of Barack Obama continues and one wonders if the majority of the American people will accept these tactics as legitimate political discourse, or as the crass and desperate underhandedness it is. That people with real concerns about any commander-in-chief are being callously manipulated seems not to occur to the Republican rank and file at all, and I marvel that they were so often missing-in-action during the Bush-Cheney years which have so injured our natio...

It?s an occasion for Americans to reunite with family and enjoy a mid-summer holiday with picnics and barbeques, ballgames and golf, and other recreation.Our appreciation for what happened on a hot summer day in Philadelphia all these years ago is often limited to a fleeting, warm feeling about an ancient generation of Americans who against great odds, stood up to a powerful oppressor, and claimed their natural right to liberty.This is an accurate but incomplete understanding of the revolution begun that day. For written on that piece of yellowed parchment is not only the bold assertion that thirteen former British colonies were and forever would remain free and independent states, but also the once radical idea ...

Republican Leadership Stakeout Health Care and Energy 6/24/09 VIDEO
2009-06-25 01:00:00 House Republican Leaders are joined by Gov. Jim Douglas (R-VT) and Gov. Mike Rounds (R-SD) as they discuss health care and energy.Full Text Transcript:Republican Leader Boehner:We?re joined today by Governor Jim Douglas from Vermont and Governor Mike Rounds from South Dakota. They, like the American people, know that if the government gets involved in our health care we?re going to see nothing but rationed care, higher taxes and less quality in our health care delivery. So, it?s really important that we allow governors to have the flexibility to deal with this issue in their home states, and I think the governors will talk about that.But at 852 pages, the Democrat health care plan will do just the opposite. It is a complete government takeover of our health care system, which is going to lead to higher taxes, rationing and a lower quality in our health care system. House Republicans have a proposal we?ve put on the table that will provide affordable access to high quality health ins...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Weekly Republican Address 06/20/09
2009-06-20 23:27:00 Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Weekly Republican Address 06/20/09 FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPTHello. I?m Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky.Republicans and Democrats agree that health care is in serious need of reform. Americans are frustrated with the high cost of even basic treatments and procedures; millions are without coverage; and millions are worried about losing the care they have. That?s why many of us are calling for reforms that would bring down the cost of care and ensure that those who need coverage can afford and obtain it.Republicans have put forward common sense solutions like reforming our medical liability laws to discourage junk lawsuits that make health care more expensive for everyone; strengthening wellness and prevention programs that encourage people to make healthy choices, such as quitting smoking and fighting obesity; and addressing the needs of small business without imposing new taxes that kill jobs.Unfortunately, some in Washington ...
Pedro Espada, Jr. Republican Icon.
2009-06-20 15:22:00 See, the problem for State Senate Republicans in essentially naming Sen. Pedro Espada, Jr (D-Grand Jury Room) as President is that they've bought him. They're stuck with him. Until the coup, Espada was just another narcissistic loudmouth lost in a sea of narcissistic loudmouths. Now, he's the Republican's ...

On Health Care (as on other issues):Obama & Democrats Act as if Republican
2009-06-17 00:18:00 There is much to fault in the President’s speech yesterday to the American Medical Association (AMA). But, to me, the most objectionable aspect was its tone. The President seemed to suggest that “if you’re not on board with the reforms I’m proposing, you’re against reform altogether.” And yet, as clear as it is that our system ...

Congressman Mike Pence Weekly Republican Address 06/12/09 VIDEO TEXT
2009-06-14 20:17:00 Congressman Mike Pence Weekly Republican Address 06/12/09 FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPTI?m Indiana Congressman Mike Pence.Across the country gas prices and home utility bills are on the rise again. During these difficult economic times, higher energy prices impose a great hardship on families struggling to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the Democrat majority in Congress is embracing a national energy tax that will lead to even higher energy prices and massive job losses for the American people.President Obama even admitted that under his energy plan, utility rates would ?necessarily skyrocket.? If the Democrats? cap-and-trade bill were to become law, estimates suggest that the average American family would face up to $4,300 a year in extra energy costs and anywhere between 1.8 [million] and 7 million American jobs could be lost.That?s a heavy price to pay for a plan that will do very little to clean up our environment, since manufacturers will probably ship their plants, and their pollution...
