Apples and Oranges

The idea that Hillary's having won big states somehow predicts her performance in the fall has no basis in fact - or even moderately intelligent reasoning. That Obama would lose a state where he couldn't win the Democratic primary completely misses the point. This is a Democratic Primary- not a General Election. Except for the most crystallized voter, they will vote for the Democrat in the Fall. And the new registrations suggest a large majority for the Democrat.

Comparing performance in the primary to performance in the General Election makes no sense. Comparing the turnout makes more.

The issue isn't 'health insurance', it's

Health

Care

and no one, not Barack, not Hillary is using that term. They keep talking about 'Health Insurance'.

Isn't it time to go after the real issue?

Even the AMA is talking about it.

How about, you wanna be a doctor? Give us five years and we'll give you an MD.

That would start a public health care system worth its name that would be available to all of us.

We are the only country in the WORLD that talks about insurance.

What an OUTRAGE that we have NO CANDIDATES who address the issue.

Wimps.

Did Jeremiah Wright say anything that wasn't true?

Did a cab ever drive by Hillary because her skin was the wrong color?

What's this all about?

Is there any excuse?

Okay, now that the Pentagon has declared victory, here's what we do.

Everyone talks about years to get the troops out.. We can do it in two weeks.

Dunkirk.

Every capable jet in the US is booked to fly troops out, like the Berlin airlift. We leave the stuff (including the ammunition), take the small arms (that we can carry) and leave the rest. Call it a down payment on the reparations which no moral nation could refuse to pay.

The airlines, the freight carriers, the charter companies will donate their services. Just like Dunkirk.

We're out in two weeks.

Now if we can just get the veterans the services and benefits they deserve.

Allegations that the Bush Administration represents a Banana Republic coup are ridiculous.

If we had a coup:

  1. We wouldn’t have honest elections with audit trails;
  2. We’d have private fiefdoms in the Executive branch with no oversight;
  3. We would be harassing and prosecuting people for disagreeing with the Executive;
  4. We’d have private armies accountable only to the Executive;
  5. We’d have large sums of money being given to friends of the Executive;
  6. The government would be verbally attacking groups of people who disagree with its policies;
  7. We’d have a huge propaganda apparatus in operation pretending to be news;
  8. The government would hve no interest in ‘promoting the General Welfare’;
  9. We’d have an ever-increasing prison population with no access to the justice system;
  10. Major damging events would occur without any investigation;

Ultimately, the Executive would operate with total impunity in pursuit of its own ends.
Thank god we live in a democratic republic with a stable government chosen by and accountable to the people who pay for it.
