Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Matt Gertz: FoxNews.com’s vet health hubbub – Standard fear-mongering much-ado from Fox.
- And that’s Just in the First Friedman Unit! – And this is what the GOP wants to run against.
- Socialism!!!! – Money graf: n”Only in America do working class people rise up in anger at the thought of government regulated/subsidized health insurance, but nary a peep about the abuses of massive corporate welfare and giveaways.”
- Adam Nagourney Moral Equivalence Watch – As I’ve said many times, it’s more about “winning” than governing/leading. Money graf: “With regard to health care, they could have stepped in at the eleventh hour and said, ‘Look, you’re going to win, so do thus-and-such and you’ll get a dozen Republican votes.’ And thus-and-such would have made the bill more Republican. And Democrats would have said yes. But Republicans care more about their electoral chances than about their political philosophy. You wonder if they care about their political philosophy at all, except as a useful posture.”
- Cornyn sees repeal trap, hopes to avoid it – If this bill was Armageddon, it’s hard to argue that some of it is worth keeping. Which will, indeed, be a difficult sell in November.
- Protesting Health Reform, GOP Attempts To Bring Senate Hearings To A Standstill By Blocking All Proceedings – Ah. The “Six-Year-Old” strategy for governing. Classy, GOP. Glad to see you remember how that whole “shut down Congress” thang worked last time …
- Nebraska’s Attorney General Suing To Stop Reform Is Clueless About Existing Federal Law – “One is left speechless by the absurdity of it,” says the Solicitor General of St Ronnie of Blessed Memory. I’m waiting for Reagan to be, finally rejected by today’s Right as too namby-pampy on their core issues.
