I couldn't care less if Palin runs again. What cracks me up however, is how the AP is continually marginalized through their desparate attempt to keep Palin from being a candidate in the 2012 election. The press' fear of her is absolutely pungent!

It may have taken 5-6 years for Americans to figure out that Bush was not a great president, but it only took them 6 months to start to catch on to the fact that Obama is a bad president. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the next congressional election. The Republicans may be a crappy political party, but the Democrats are like a parasite that brings about its own demise by killing its host.

"President Barack Obama says he wants a health care overhaul this year and that costs will continue to rise without action."

But they'll rise even higher WITH action. This isn't about people having affordable healthcare. The cost of healthcare will only rise under a government bureaucracy. Go ask Britain how they like theirs. They are moving back toward a system like the one that we have now.

This is about power. Power over you. Power over your choices.

Once the government has control of your health, then they REALLY have you by the short hairs!

"people are in charge of helping themselves." ...Except when it comes to healthcare. Then government must take over and force you to do what they want. Whether you like it or not.

Now or never my butt! If he doesn't pass it this year, they'll just keep trying to hit us with it every year after. Just like they did when Clinton tried it.

She's as wrong as two boys screwing and she knows it! If she opens her mouth on this anymore, she's going to get her wrinkly ass into too much trouble. She's already losing her power base. She'll shut up now.

This is REALLY funny. The Dems believe that the conservatives have something invested in Bush. It's just the opposite. The "Republican Party" was invested in Bush. Now the Republicans have no party. We conservatives left. We thought that he was a terrible president too! Only for different reasons that you did. We thought that the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security was terrible, but the Republican Party stood behind him. Again, now they have no party.

Where do you think the Tea Parties came from? I know that you'll credit FNC, but they had little to nothing to do with it other than helpping to promote it. Now out of this movement are grumblings of a new third (or fourth depending how you look at it) party. As Repubs keep moving left, they leave their former base behind.

And by the way. I'm making provisions (using prudent investment private retirement accounts in the stock market) not to live off of Social Security and Medicare when I retire. I don't believe that it will be available when I retire and I don't want to be enslaved to the government if it is.

I would like to second Brian's remark.

Actually, NY will start to resemble California soon. If this keeps up, the rest of the country may start to resemble California soon. I would never want to leave this country, but if we end up with socialized healthcare, then we will no longer have the right to our own lives. The government will dictate our choices. Since the rights of liberty and the persuit of happiness are both predicated on our right to our life, then our Constitution will basically be null and void. As Atlas Shrugs, I'm contnually concerned that I am going to have to prepare my family to live somewhere else where we will be able to prosper in freedom.

I think it was Winston Churchill who said something to the effect of... "If you aren't a liberal when you are young, then you have no heart and if your aren't a conservative when you are old, then you have no brain."

It's an age old truth. When I was in college, all my friends were young, single, (for the most part unemployed), liberal Democrats. Now these same people are married parents with careers and conservative values who support the Republicans. I know that this isn't scientific data, but it certainly speaks to the point.

#2) Further, MSNBC did an poll where Americans rated the President with a grade of A, B, C, D or F. The Poll had over 2.7 million responses and the results end up as follows:

A) 35%
B) 6.8%
C) 5.1%
D) 13%
F) 40%

Clearly, there is a fine line divide straight down the middle in this country between conservatives and liberals. This line is also skewed to advantage conservatives. With polling numbers like this, the worst thing either party can do is compromise to the other. That would show weakness and upset the large bases that these partiies have garnered. Disinfranchised bases don't turn out to vote. It's as simple as that.

Further, the best strategy for the Republicans here would be to go a bit further to the right and directly articulate that, then wait for the country to get tired of the democrats. The pendulum will swing back the other way sooner this way.
