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


RIGHT GAINS

The House will be less Republican and perhaps Democratic-controlled because of the Nov. 7 elections, but it may be more conservative. The Republican Study Committee (RSC), the conservative caucus, will gain a higher percentage of House Republicans.

Three RSC members are leaving the House to run for higher office, while eight more are seriously threatened for re-election (though some may survive). Against that, seven new Republican candidates who are heavily favored to win and five others with a good chance are conservatives who probably will join the RSC. In addition, several non-RSC moderate Republicans may lose, possibly including all three GOP members from Connecticut.

A footnote: Businessman David McSweeney, the only Republican given a chance to unseat an incumbent Democrat, is expected to join the RSC if he defeats freshman Democratic Rep. Melissa Bean in their suburban Chicago district.

MRS. JUSTICE'S CHOICE

Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, was listed on top of the host committee for an Oct. 11 fund-raiser in East Brunswick, N.J., helping State Sen. Tom Kean Jr., the Republican Senate candidate in New Jersey.

It is unusual for a Supreme Court justice's spouse to get involved in partisan politics, and pro-life activists were astounded that Alito's wife would back a pro-choice candidate. The Kean event was run by "It's My Party Too," the political action committee that raises money for pro-choice Republicans.

Kean's incumbent Democratic opponent, Sen. Robert Menendez, voted against Alito's confirmation to the high court. Kean has announced he would have voted for Alito.

Name Calling for Hillary
You really don't have to call Hillary Clinton Hitlary or what ever. She and Adolf Hitler have one thing in common,the sheer lust for POWER! She's a Radical Liberal, one of those that Rush Limbaugh talked about. She's one of those who believe that we the common people of America don't have the intelligence or common sense to know what's good for us or how to run our lives. The Radical Liberals will do that for us.
There have already been senators and representatives (Democratic) who have confabed about how they can change the laws and get the Constitution changed to suit their programs, or should I say their progroms for the future of America.
These people have already tried many tricks such as, slipping little provisos and changes to major bills to be passed. They also are playing and counting on the apathy of the American voter.
What was it the news commentators stated the other day, less than half of the people who can vote do so. Scary!
The people in the European countries overrun by Hitler found that their freedoms were taken away bit by bit, will Hillary and her cronies take ours away like that? Making it seem in the process that they are doing us all a favor and that we'll be better off with out those freedoms?
I personally don't want to her to have that chance. She's raising lots of mnoey, were from? Probably those people who have always given the Liberals money, those on the coasts and the coast border states. But what about the heartland? We common people out here? Its something scary to think about Hillary as president! That's REALLY scares me!!!!!!!!!!!!
