Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


EYE FOR FASHION

"But who knows? He may land his own show on Bravo."

So surmises Joshua Green of the Atlantic, referring to veteran Republican political operative Jeff Larson, who is believed to have been Gov. Sarah Palin's personal wardrobe shopper to the tune of $150,000.

As Mr. Green points out, "even hateful liberals would have to admit that Mrs. Palin dresses awfully nicely."

YO, JOE

The John McCain-Sarah Palin campaign has just released its latest ad, entitled "I am Joe."

It features everyday Americans who submitted homemade videos to the campaign explaining how they are like "Joe the Plumber."

'FAIR' WARNING

Proposed legislation sure to get a heated airing in the upcoming 111th Congress will be a "Fairness Doctrine," which if enacted would require broadcasters to air both liberal and conservative commentators, conceivably sounding a death knell for popular ideological programs like those hosted by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

A number of Democratic leaders, including 2008 presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, have said they would support such controls. Now Sen. Jeff Bingaman, New Mexico Democrat, is among lawmakers adding his voice to the demand for so-called "fairness."

"Radio and media generally have a higher calling than to just reflect a single point of view," Mr. Bingaman opined this week while being interviewed on Albuquerque's KKOB-AM.

But Chris Berry, president and general manager of WMAL-AM in Washington, KKOB's sister station, believes that if Democrats push for a Fairness Doctrine they could be surprised at the response from their constituencies. Continued...

The Corrupt Obama
Barack is the most corrupt and radical candidate in American history. It is no wonder he appeals to brain dead morons like Don Juan and Taft.

Every Executive, Palin included, has the right and prerogative to appoint persons to positions in the executive branch to implement his or her agenda. Palin's appointments were overwhelmingly qualified for their positions.
You want to find incompetents? Go to Barack Obama's Chicago and the administration of his fellow thug, Richard Daley.

Bush left too many of Clinton's appointees in office who, today, undermine his agenda. Case in point: Left-wing ideologues in the EPA who try to undermine his agenda on so-called climate change. They wine to the MSM that Bush is trying to undermine science. Nonsense. There is no scientific basis for the global warming as crisis hype which they believe.

Bush has every right to ignore these clowns and advance his agenda. This is the nature of liberalism. They try, through the bureaucracy, to make democracy a nullity. More and more of our rights are being usurped by the courts and the bureaucracy.

Or take court appointments. It was the Democrats, specifically Joe "Hair Plugs" Biden who proudly proclaimed his role in applying an ideological litmus test to court appointments. Republicans voted overwhelming for Ruth Bader Ginsburg because they acknowledged that Bill Clinton won the election and had the right to appoint judges with whom he agreed philosophically. Not so the Democrats who ruthlessly attempt to impose their far-left agenda on the appointments of a Republican administration.

Obama a unifier? Give me a break!

America must wake up to the fact that these are not Democrats, or liberals, but socialists and Marxists. They should not be let anywhere near the reins of power.

Tsk, tsk jax33!
Tsk, tsk jax33! You can't insult a poor soul like Taft! Further more, you ought to have pity on a poor Californian like Taft. His state has consumed so much money taking care of them Illegals and School teachers that Lefty Ahnold is thinking about hitting up the Gummint for a 12 Billion Dollar loan. If he whines and throws hissy fits and tantrums, and insults long enough he just may get it too. One thing though in this land of destitute middle-class people, I'm wondering how Taft can keep and operate a Puter in order to write the stuff that he does,
