There are a few that I would like to see running for 2012: Ryan, Pence, Hensarling, Armey (of course!), Pawlenty, Coburn. Palin VP!

And that is exactly what the Dems want...so bad. The Republicans in Congress should be very careful in how they react to the "positive" new normals or it will backfire on them.

A friend uses this phrase to indicate an upswing in the economy. I AM certain that this was a major part of the plan. If they play the cards right, the spending may help the economy get going faster in the fall of 2010. Democrats can only benifit from it. Lots of if's in this one, and the timing is tricky. I have lots of problems with this, but one of the most important is what the inflation will be like a few years from now. I am worried that it will make the late 1970's look like a picnic.

I was laughing so hard when he gave his speech today. I thought that they did a poor job of math on the "Cash for Clunkers" and considered this as a sign of poor math in all other bills that they passed and working to pass. Gag.

The problem is, people hire them exactly for the harm they hope they can do to their opponents. And the bit about allowing trees to sue was always just frontrunning for environmental groups. Under current law, they don't have the standing to sue about any old thing they want. But if you allow TREES to sue; well, trees of course can't, but that change could give your friendly local environazis the all clear to sue anyone anytime a leaf in their yard turns brown. Of course that wouldn't be lucrative; but suing every corporation in the country and counting on them to settle to stay out of this mess would fund the Sierra Club and Greenpeace for the next 100 years. And that's what this whole thing has always been about. “They need to take an oath like Dr.’s to cause no harm.”

They haven't even mentioned tort reform which would directly reduce costs and immediately----ask your congress critter about that. They have created another incentive for these cretins to further ruin the health care we currently have. Shakespeare said it best in Henvy VI "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers". - (Act IV, Scene II). I still say once they leave on recess to not allow them back in. Block the stairs of Congress and tell each of the states to send representatives of the people----1 teacher, 1 doctor, 1 construction worker etc etc. Time to start over. And Whomever, it is called a "posse". And they added an amendment that gives trial lawyers an estimated $1.5 billion by allowing them to deduct costs sooner!!!!

I am not sure about that. People keep sending their critter back to Congress election after election for decade. People seem to love their critter but hate everyone else's.

See some incumbents kicked out before they even get to the general election. “If you refuse to listen we will refuse to vote for you.”
