Good trigger discipline.
It for sure is in the Top 5. That rocks enough for me to send him some money.
His ideas are excellent too.
His healthcare cost reducing plan is get the government out of the business and tort reform.
A Marine who’ll stand behind his convictions is exactly what we need.
He doesn’t say party, his endorsements lean right, but not exclusively so.
Why do they always have to differ with me on my touchiest issue?
I saw this ad yesterday, for some reason on a blog here in Louisiana. Sorry I can’t vote for him.
Sure, but Joe Rice, who is currently serving in Iraq, (thanks Joe!) is a proper statist democrat.
This clip about Kelly and health care reform might prove interesting to some of the folks here:

I guess his solution to healthcare issues is to make it harder to sue doctors. I’ve seen the average costs doctors pay for insurance and although it’s a problem, it’s not as big a problem as private insurance companies denying payments on a willy-nilly basis. In other words, his solution is to do nothing but make the rich richer in a way that will not expand coverage in any meaningful way.
He says the right things about the military and about the border, pledges to help the schools, and aside from being pro-life to the core he doesn’t seem offensive to me. Just another Republican plant to sit on that side of the aisle in Congress, I think.
I’ll see him Tuesday night, along with my Congresscritter (if she shows.)
The problem is that people (including, unfortunately, people who write the laws and regulations under which insurance companies operate) expect health insurance to pay for routine things that, if it were my car instead of my body, I would have to pay out of pocket.
Why is it that the loudest complaints are always about the most regulated industries, and the answer to every complaint is always more regulation?
People complain about hand tools, and even hand-tool companies, but they never seem to complain about the hand-tool industry. People can get hurt using hand tools, you know. Yet the industry is relatively unregulated and people are mostly satisfied with it.
And before anyone argues that the regulated industries got that way because of complaints, they need to bear in mind where the real political will comes from to regulate them in the first place. In the real world it’s very rare to find a regulated industry that genuinely wants to be deregulated.
When people clamor for more regulation, they’re effectively lobbying to limit competition in that industry and consolidate the market among fewer and still fewer large players.
Dumb.
