This pretty much sums up the difference between Democrats and Republicans. For instance, I have learned that when Democrats over-reach, we end up providing health insurance coverage for children who have pre-existing conditions. When Republicans over-reach, we go to war. via Higher Ground « Margaret and Helen. Margaret and Helen are always a good read. [...]

Politically, this is a really fun week
David Frum demonstrates that he gets it. Political cartoonists get it (Danziger’s was too good to not show). GOP? Nope. Senator McCain? Nope. Democrats probably do get it but it’s a long way to November and there is plenty of time to let the bully on the block take their lunch money. The GOP had [...]
Even their web server went into a coma
Just for giggles I tried to go to the GOP web page to see what kind of response the opposition has to the health care reform.To be honest I was hoping for some rational arguments about why this health care reform is bad. I wasn’t counting on much, but I hoped it would be something [...]

Former President Bill Clinton went dumb today. He was working a crowd in a town hall setting and he started complaining about how the media is giving Senator Barack Obama a pass. Oh and his voice cracked; not his finest performance. He made a mistake. He’s smarter than that and all he has done is [...]
Senator Harry Reid Senate Majority "Leader"?
I think Senator Reid forgot what the word leader means. It does not mean roll over and play dead. Seriously this is why the next president will be a republican. Likely Rudy, maybe Mitt. They’ll get all Jack Bauer and the Democrats will fall over themselves again. I continue to not get it. I understand [...]
Wow, sometimes it does work out
When I read that newspaper executives were arrested in Arizona and that they earlier were sent a subpoena for “the names and Internet addresses of all people who have viewed the site since Jan. 1, 2004” I was not surprised. That’s just the type of country we live in these days. We see our government [...]
