What Does This Say About Obama’s View Of The Sexes?

Posted on March 2, 2009 at 1:53 pm

Is there anything to be made of the fact that President Obama has now appointed two women (Sebelius and DeParle) to handle the work he was going to give to one man (Tom Daschle)? Or am I just looking to stir the stew?

Discuss.

Blackburn Mails It In

Posted on July 28, 2008 at 10:01 am

Tom Leatherwood, the insurgent GOP challenger in District 7, attempts to correct his record on health care for illegal immigrants:

Marsha Blackburn has said that I would support “taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants.” This is absolutely not true and she knows it is not true. She is desperate and desperate people say and do desperate things. I am and always have been absolutely opposed to free health care for illegals or a nationalized (socialized) health care system.

If you would like to see the June 4th Commercial Appeal article she refers to on her mail piece, you can click on the link at the end of this article. You will notice that there are absolutely no statements about free healthcare for illegal immigrants. I have also provided a link to a letter to the editor which I wrote addressing the false information she and her staff began putting out weeks ago.

Republicans Pleased With Their Health Insurance

Posted on April 18, 2008 at 6:46 am

Senator Bill Frist explains why health care is not at the top of voter lists of issues this campaign season and how part persuasion colors one’s view of the issue:

With the help of a slideshow, Dr. Frist showed that, among Democrats, healthcare is second behind the economy in topics the public wants their candidate to address. Among Republicans, healthcare falls to fourth behind the economy, Iraq, and immigration.

Dr. Frist said that the health care reform debate in the primaries is not the real health care reform debate. The real debate will come later. Furthermore, he said, no plan proposed by the candidates will be enacted into law and that these proposals would only serve as a starting point in negotiations after the election.
