This goes in my WTF category. I just don’t know what to say.
It was little surprise that Sarah Palin’s first visit to our home and native land (of public health care and gay marriage) would be in Calgary. It also shouldn’t be surprising that she was able to curry favour with the local crowd by [...]
It’s about time. Bipartisanship isn’t going to happen. Most Republicans seem to think that bipartisanship means Democrats doing what Republicans want. (Sorry to be so late posting this but I had to take my Mom to the eye surgeon today.)
Harkin: Reconciliation is a go
Sen. Tom Harkin told POLITICO that Senate Democratic leaders have decided to [...]

What’s the point of extending insurance to more people if you are cutting the benefits of medicare recipients? That just leaves the medicare patients in the same boat as those who previously didn’t have insurance….unable to afford needed medical care.
I’ve said all along that while I support the idea of health care reform, I would [...]
Now the fight begins.
The Senate voted on party lines Saturday night to end a Republican filibuster and bring a bill that would overhaul the nation’s health-care system to the Senate floor.
After days of indecision, the two final holdouts — Sens. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) — voted with all 60 members of their [...]
