MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUITS
The Senate bill does not change medical malpractice law, though it encourages states to explore alternatives to civil litigation.
Republicans are urging limits on damages awarded in malpractice suits. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that could save $54 billion over the next decade.
Democrats will [...]

As said by John Kerry to Caifornia college students in 2006: "You know, education, if you make the most of it , you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to do well, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."' [...]

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.

CAIRO A 16-year-old Christian girl from southern Sudan said Friday she was lashed 50 times for wearing a skirt deemed indecent by authorities in the north who enforce a strict version of Islamic law. Silva Kashif said a policeman in a Khartoum market [...]
After living in North Minneapolis for ten years there is no doubt in my mind that the black profile and that of my early years have no resemblence. Most of those in that area fit that profile with a few exceptions as you will find in any other community. [...]
Dear precious Lord,
We bow our heads in heartfelt, thankful prayer;
For all the ways You've blessed our lives
And for Your loving care.
We thank You for the hands
That have prepared this special treat
And pray that You will bless all those
Who have no food to eat.
Amen' [...]
Central planning was always ill-equipped to provide the goods and services consumers wanted at the prices they were willing to pay. Capitalism can do that well. The question is, will it be allowed to in an environment where capitalists are held in such low esteem? [...]
Reform would make us a more decent society, but also a less vibrant one. It would ease the anxiety of millions at the cost of future growth. It would heal a wound in the social fabric while piling another expensive and untouchable promise on top of the many such promises [...]

Partial birth abortion is murder. Roe v Wade allows abortion through the second trimester at 27 weeks of gestation. Baby (not fetus) is viable (able to sustain independent life) from 20 to 24 weeks of gestation. The Republican congress passed the Partial Birth Abortion three times three times being vetoed [...]
This is taken from an address by The President of the United States of America to the citizens of the U.S. and quoted verbatim.
"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack" [...]
All this talk about health reform makes a farce of the notion of a "public option" that will simply provide competition to keep private insurance companies honest. What politicians can and will do is continue to drive up the cost of private insurance until it is no longer viable. A [...]

GOP HAS A RIGHT TO ATTACK OBAMA I notice an increasing number of complaints that Republicans are always attacking President Barack Obamas policies of reckless spending.
Just because a party is elected into power does not mean all dissent ceases; the last time I checked, we were not a one-party country.

Health reform
The challenge: Make the savings real
WASHINGTON Its simply not true that America is ambivalent about everything when it comes to the Obama health plan.
The day after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) gave its qualified blessing to the version of health reform produced by Senate Majority Leader Harry [...]
Lincoln was elected President in 1860, Kennedy in 1960.
Both were slain on a Friday and in the presence of their wives.
Both were shot from behind and in the head.
Their succesors, both named Johnson, were southern Democrats and both were in the senate.
Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson [...]
I have been informed by the media that the male life expectancy is now 74.4years. I don,t know what to do because today I am 74.4 years and tomorrow, being my six month birthday, I will be 74.5 years old. Does that mean that I will tip over, or will [...]
Health-care costs are exploding out of control. Virtually everyone has noticed increases in premiums, co-pays, deductibles, etc. The number of uninsured Americans continues to grow. Much of the health care cost problems can be contributed to medical malpractice lawsuits. Astronomical verdicts have led to massive increases in the cost to [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A former Louisiana congressman who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges.
William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 [...]
What a surprise -- that someone who shouts "Allahu Akbar" (the "God is great" jihadist battle cry) as he is shooting up a room of American soldiers might have Islamist motives. It certainly was a surprise to the mainstream media, which spent the weekend after the Fort Hood massacre playing [...]
Moving from taxes on productivity to taxes on consumption is based in sound economic theory and principle; objections from both the right and the left are founded in the misconstrued ideological notions of starving the beast and taxing the rich. Ultimately, a broader sales tax base, when and ONLY when [...]
Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was born and raised a Muslim, yelled "Allahu Akbar ("God is the greatest") while shooting people in the back, and sought Islamic fatwas from American-born Yemeni al-Qa'eda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki (who'd been his imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia), have" [...]
Eventually the "Pimp and Pro" ACORN story should help to focus national attention on ACORN political corruption and ACORN's status as an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party. But that's not where the Obama/ACORN/Far Left enablers in the liberal media establishment want to go.
During the campaign Obama denied any [...]
I WAS PLEASED to see Gov. Tim Pawlenty make the case for opening state borders to other insurance carriers to create greater competition for lower-cost health insurance rates.
Several years ago when the HMOs were getting started, legislation was written prohibiting many companies from writing health insurance in our state.
Our National [...]
Barrack Hussein Obama has eliminated the traditional National Day of Prayer observance at the White House.
Does this not warn American Christians that the Republic is taking a drastic change away from its biblical tradition in favor of Islam when Obama celebrates Ramadan but will not touch the National Day of [...]
It was fascinating to see Barack Obama warning us not to leap to conclusions about the killings at Fort Hood, Texas after the way he leaped to conclusions over the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, when he knew less about the facts than we already know about the massacre at [...]
According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems.
President Obama honored the victims by immediately' [...]
