Mr.Newt has a very good view on what needs to be done with the health care system, and for at least a year has been pushing for the right solutions: portability, medical savings accounts plus high-deductable insurance, cross-state buying of insurance policies, tort reform. Please go to his web site, and find out what he has been pushing for. I’ve heard his position at many interviews, and his position is right in line with that of most of us here at FR.
GOP/RNC. Washington is not the problem. I wish it was ‘a problem’. Washington is a threat. It, and you, and the Democrats, and all the bureaucrats, are becoming my physical enemy. You already are my philosophical and economical enemy and enemy to my few remaining liberties that you have traded, sold, outlawed.
Wake the F up. We’ve had two wars in this country to settle intractable political logjams. We might well have a third.
Want to charge me as seditious? Traitor? Go ahead. Clear out the BS, and light the tinder. I’ll meet the cadre in prison, and we’ll start from there.
What you, and Newt are talking about is finding a way to finance/pay for a system that’s prices are driven by government spending( try competing as a customer against that ), rent seeking, lobbyists, forced mandates on nearly everyone involved.
Doesn’t matter what, or how it is financed, paid, or insured. With so much anti-free market, anti-free labor, anti-free customer purchase costs will as they are, outstrip the general 2 percent growth in wealth .
Newt is for a good water based vinyl Spackle on the rotted political/economic framework that is collapsing under it’s own self made contradictions.
Its leadership must take action to announce what are the party's core principles. That act is necessarily exclusive: you can be a Republican if you support and believe (these key things) but not, if you do not subscribe to them.
I believe that until the Republican Party makes it clear to all just what are its principles, it will continue to drift; conservatives will remain unsure of their allegiance, much less dominance of the party, while "moderates" will likewise be uncertain of their stature with it.
So what will it be? Drift and incoherence or determination and consistency? One of those groupings is a winner and the other, well, you know what it is. Isn't that right Senator McCain?
elite republican = democrat
I frankly don’t care about his views on healthcare, because he’s jumped ship on too many vital issues; GW and this particular race for instance.
I refuse to listen further to those who promote ‘moderate’ (aka liberal) candidates and RINOS over true conservatives.
I may not trust the demonrats, but I can always trust them to BE demonrats.
With republicans, you donate money to and vote for them only to have them vote with the 'rats.
Speaking of...WTF is up with Newt? I think he's possessed. You'd never know it today, but once upon a time, he was a force for conservatism and the Republican party.
