Then why in Heavens name is Mitt Romney the top Republican candidate?
To: Lorianne
You all remember when the time comes that it was Mitt Romney who was so proud of the fact that he was the one to shove this mess down our throats. Now they can’t control it.

Two words: Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin hasn’t made up her mind whether to throw her hat into the ring yet, or to use her kingmaking influence. Once she does either one, I think we’ll see Romney falling out of favor rather sharply.

Because it's his turn. Thats how the GOP picks it's candidate. It was Pappa Bush's turn, it was Bob Dole's turn and last time it was McCain's turn.

Don’t bet that she won’t endorse or run with Romney.
After all, she just endorsed McCain & even as bad as Romney might be, he will get far more electoral votes than McCain did in 08.
He might even win.

She does have that wild hair, though I still see it as simply keeping her promise to John McCain to return the favor of having tapped her for the VP candidate in 2008. McCain is regional with limited impact, but any presidential candidate would have to be national. Romney would evince gagging and retching from coast to coast and there would be a nationally divisive cat fight in the GOP ranks. Not even Sarah is up for that kind of brinksmanship, methinks.

Most of us asked the same question about McCain. The Republican Party keeps foisting these losers on us (well, that and stupid open primaries).
To: Lorianne
The rats have the answer in the federal health care bill: price controls, rationing, global budgets, single payer, and many restrictions on private health care outside of the rat health care regime. The health care bill provides federal authority to impose price controls on state insurers. We have just seen the beginning of the skirmish. When the smoke clears, private insurance and much of private medicine will be finished. The only remaining insurers will be effectively government controlled.

When will you people get off the Sarah bashing?...Sarah Palin isn't the problem...

One of my favorite parts of Obamacare is admission to medical school based upon race and sex, not grades or aptitude. I’ve heard that the late Michael Jackson’s doctor was an affirmative admissions guy who would have flunked out but didn’t because of special rules. Also heard he needed special help to pass his boards. Well, that quality is now coming for all of us.
To: businessprofessor
That was their plan all along.

No disrespect is meant to you personally, so please don't take offense, but I have to say that that is a really s*itty reason for doing anything - that is the sort of idiocy that unions engage in, and socialists - it's not the sort of thing that a party that is ostensibly based on the premise of merit should be engaging in.
We can all see just how devastated our public schools and manufacturers have become, in significant part because of the union-required seniority rules, which is just a polite way of saying "it's your turn," so why on Earth would a free-market, meritocratic political organization want to flirt with that sort of self-destructive behaviour?

Hey, I don’t support it, I’m just stating how it’s been done. It’s the idiotic reason the GOP couldn’t beat a wounded Clinton and got creamed by Obama. And if they do it again it will be why the GOP goes down in 2012.

I know you don’t support it - I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

Well LL, I never bashed Sarah - I don’t think that she can win but I would vote for her in a second.
