During the Vice-President Debate held in Danville, KY last week, Joe Biden claimed, rather emphatically, that since Iran had no way of delivering a nuclear device, their nuclear program was not an immediate threat. If that’s the case, then you have to wonder what Victoria Nuland is talking about: In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria [...]

Barack Obama threw the entire country under the bus with his health care “reform”. People I know immediately made decisions affecting their very lives based on assumptions Obama said would occur, fully knowing they never would. How many people made the argument that it would require everyone to have insurance? Go ahead, raise your hands. [...]

The concept of a “public option” in this current health care debate is not novel. It’s not new. It’s just taking what has been practiced in social service and medical care provision for decades and applying it to the insurance industry. That’s all. It’s also well-known that I oppose this. Here’s a reason why I [...]

Barack Obama is concerned about scare tactics in regards to the health care debate: President Barack Obama, whose effort to revamp U.S. health insurance has run into angry protests and slumping public approval, urged Americans to ignore opposition “scare tactics” fanning baseless fears about Democratic health-care plans. Nancy Pelosi is too: “People should not be [...]

Bernie Sanders had this to offer to the health care debate: There’s a back story to the town meeting protests. The health care industry in America is doing everything it can tostop reform. Incredibly, it has spent $130 million just in the last quarter trying to influence Congress. The Washington Post has reported that $1.4 [...]

On Facebook we’ve had a lively discussion about the health care reform, health care insurance reform, socialization of health care industry, debate that is now going on between the SEIU and the astroturf disrupters. It’s gotten pretty heated in the town halls. Sometimes on Facebook too. But, since you can’t actually scream or strong-arm someone [...]

I’ve been watching some videos of people getting very agitated while attending health care reform forums. In some cases, legislators have resorted to locking people out entirely, such as this: To ease the tensions surrounding the issue, Obama’s staff have vowed to “punch back twice as hard“. And of course, some Democrats are accusing Republicans, [...]

Last night I didn’t watch the debate. I prefer to spend my time chasing a five year old around and working in the yard. Additionally, I prefer to just wait till it all filters out through what people take on it after the fact. 90% of any debate is fluff and posing, I just don’t [...]

First of all, there’s a college football bowl game today, Kentucky played Louisville, several powerhouse NCAA basketball games, and two NFL playoff games. Who the hell scheduled a political debate for this timeslot? The only thing I’ve read so far is the candidates are careful to not trash Bush, but willing to trash anyone else. [...]

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]
