• THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S HEALTH CARE PLAN

  
  Citizen Tom — Authority: 126
  The typical complaint that supposedly justifies the Democratic Party’s health care plan is the “fact” that the Republican Party does not have a plan of its own.  This supposed “fact” is not true.  At least to some extent, this “fact” is merely an often repeated lie.  For example, I got a comment ...

  Liberty Maven Liberty Maven: For Liberty, One Individual At A Time — Authority: 583
  “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – H. L. Mencken I’m tired of the health care debate.

  zero hedge — Authority: 765

  Thanks to the cheerleading of individuals like Michael Moore, the US is well on its way to getting a socialized healthcare system. But it’s not what people think.

• The less optimistic view of Treasury’s handling of the crisis

  
  Credit Writedowns — Authority: 686
  The Obama Administration is captured. To understand why it has acted as it has, one doesn’t have to take the view that its efforts to save the banking industry were a deliberate attempt to line bankers’ pockets by transferring money from taxpayers to the banking industry.

• THE BEST DEFENSE

  
  Citizen Tom — Authority: 126
  The elections are over.  Conservatives clearly won, but these battles were merely another skirmish.  Until November 2010, we can only, at best, stall the socialist agenda.
