Well, this crazy SOB campaigned on taxing health benefits.

Of course the COM-SYMP Obama and his PR man Goebbels/Axelrod used it against him in the campaign, but they all now agree that its a GREAT IDEA!!.

I know it, and I'm angry. What I'm waiting for is someone like Goldwater to come along and gut the Federal government.

How many departments, agencies, and taxes were supposed to be "temporary?" We need to start over.

I feel like this guy:

“The Party needs a good purge”

I couldn’t agree more. Scott Brown is the model for success. RINOs be gone.

McCain’s time is over. He has to step aside and let others take the lead in moving forward private sector solutions to health reform.
Progressive (socialist) solutions are unacceptable!

Watch for Romney to jump on this too.

He has to. He is permanently tied to his version of ObamaCare in Mass.

"These are all good ideas. They are conservative ideas that will most definitely save money."

Exactly! These were the things that I recall most everyone on Freerepublic was pushing for.

What a fickle bunch so many of the Freepers appear to be.

Yes, if they are done at the state level they would be great. The federal government should NOT be involved in health care at all.

Republicans should demand that ANY further discussion of healthcare issues is absolutely contingent upon Democrat support for the immediate passage of tort reform, with full transparancy and Republican participation in the process. Of course this will never happen.

We've had the Bush's, who never met an apparatchik they didn't like, interspersed between 2 terms of the socialist crook Klintoon and now the marxist crypto muslim HUSSEIN BARAKA.

As a result, the government apparatchiki have grown to obscene proportions.

You are absolutely correct, the next GOP candidate must run on a platform of eliminating the Departments of Energy, Education, and Labor for starters, with a freeze on Federal hiring.

When I broach the topic with my wife of eliminating 90% of federal agencies and departments and firing 90% of the remaining personnel, she thinks I'm to "radical."

I remind her that the "radicals" are the ones who dreamed up all this communist bull-shit.

Obama would never sit down with republicans. A racist sitting with non racists? Only in the beer garden when he has to cover his a$$.

McCain has gone out of his way to destroy the conservative movement, and thus the country. Nothing is beneath him.

“That bastard McCain is driving me nuts. RINO-Care and Amnesty for ILLEGAL immigrants?”

Among a long list of subversive things, yes.

The danger here is that there is a freefall between McCain, Snowe, and Collins.

Each wants to be the deal-maker. McCain aggressively working to pass a health care bill can bring a Snowe or Collins in to short circuit that.....

We could end up with the ObamaCare intact less a few RINO provisions added or deleted.

Daner Will, Danger.

McCain is making it a possibility that we get outmaneuvered here...and then there is the wildcard of Brown who can tricked by the conniving Dems.

... overhauling medical malpractice lawsuits, allowing residents of one state to buy health insurance from a company in another state, and granting tax credits for people who purchase health insurance on their own

Has McCain ever proposed these ideas before? These are long overdue.

Must be an election coming up in the not so distant future.

Scott Brown is the right man, at the right time, for Massachusetts.

The right man at this time for Arizona is JD Hayworth.
