If the fed decided to compete, how does it work that they can offer policies across state lines unfairly, while paying with taxes and not profits? That would be compete not complete.

Then, wait 6 months with a sunset clause to see if it works to lower premiums. If good, go, if not, stop. Spend-a-holics could take a chapter from the AA and go one step at a time. The 4 or 5 current bills pending have massive costs, are ambigious in interpretation, and throw the whole kitchen sink into launching an experimental program with no end. This administration's revolutionary approach to reform could negotiate all of us into oblivion.

They just can't get over the idea that if they simply modify the radical leftism of the democrats just a bit then they'll get invited to Sally Quinn's barbecues and the other kids at Sidwell Friends won't say nasty things to their kids. I would love to be wrong, but I'm afraid I'm not. We can count on the republicans to do the wrong thing at the end of the day.

Hayes — into what real evidence there was and wasn’t for WMD’s and al-Qaeda connections. The short answer is diddly and squat." BC, you didn't do much of either. WMD in the form of Sarin was moved out of Iraq to Syria in January of '03. There are sworn afidavits from the General in charge of moving it as well as the guys that did the moving. ALL would stand up in a court of law. As far as Saddam helping AQ, that depends on what you mean by help. He provided money, papers (Passports, credit cards, Drivers licenses, etc.) and a training base for AQ. Did he know details of the WTC attack? Nobody knows, that information went to the grave with him. He did know that AQ was planning an attack on the USA. Remember Saddam is the guy that planned an assassination of Bush the Elder. I'm not going to post URL's since you wouldn't bother to read them. They prove your fable to be wrong. Iraq was a good operation in the GWOT, it was just poorly executed. That can be laid at the feet of Bremmer and the State Department. President Bush also, since he made the decision to get the DOS involved. “chances are pretty good that I’ve researched a bit more than you or your buddies — and most especially that lying ass faker, Stephen F.

In every subsequent election the Democrats will turn on the Republicans, all of them, and shout "These are the evil people who want to take away your health care if they are elected!" Enough voters will believe this that the Democrats are thereby handed a permanent majority in Congress, at least.
