I Hear You all screaming about getting out of the War in Iraq, but I don’t hear any of you acknowledging what would happen if we got out tomorrow…or the day after. Seems that you forgot about 900 million militant Muslims, who have vowed to see our destruction and need oil to finance it.
I Hear You all crying about the cost of healthcare, but I don’t hear one peep about what malpractice insurance costs; about placing a cap on malpractice awards; or what taking the cost of lawyers out of the healthcare equation would be. We have been so distracted by the notion that we owe each other unlimited healthcare, we have forgotten what makes it so unaffordable.
I Hear You whining about the coming demise of Social Security, but I hear not a nit about the current hemorrhaging of payments to millionaires, who don’t need it, and under SSI to slackers, fraudulent claimants, illegal aliens and con artists, who have never put a nickel in it.
I Hear You sniveling about the climate and what we are to do about it…whatever “to do” is. But I don’t hear anything but wind power, solar, higher mileage cars, walking, buses, and bicycles. However, I don’t hear you bringing anything to the table but certain economic collapse.
I Hear You howling about the cost of gasoline not coming down, but I don’t hear anyone allowing market forces to make that happen. I don’t hear any calls for more production, more refining or more drilling. What I do hear is: NO drilling, NO refinery expansion, NO exploration and NO to disturbing an ever increasing list of species I’ve never heard of. No, in this case, leaves oil prices to be determined, not by oil companies, but by Environmentalists, world events, oil traders and aggressive oil speculators.
Most importantly, I’ve heard all of these issues back in ‘06, with the mid-term elections and how the Democrats, if elected, were going to solve them. Well, they’ve had almost a year and a half now to address all these issues, but I have yet to hear any one of the above observations or anything but higher taxes, more spending and more suffering. But hey, I could be wrong.

The Carrion of Health Care
What moron ever thought that giving a tax credit to purchase health insurance was a good idea? That’s like attaching antlers to every female deer just before hunting season. Atta boy John, your Liberal qualities are finally beginning to show.
Before malpractice attorneys declare open season on the new “target rich environment” of a freshly funded health care industry, maybe we should question the wisdom of further fattening the target rather than making health care more affordable. If we are going to declare a “tax holiday” for federal fuel taxes, why don’t we declare a one year moratorium on malpractice lawsuits, just for the heck of it. Chances are that Americans will benefit far more from the latter than the former.
Better yet, why doesn’t Congress just allocate, say 5 ot 6 billion bucks and just send it to the trial lawyers to NOT file any malpractice suits for the next year. Bottom line, it would be a far more efficient redistribution of our health care dollar than the one we are using now.

Dear John, 4-13-08
It must be good to be you. Clearly you are having more fun now. How could you NOT be having fun, running against two clowns funneling you material that money can’t buy.
I know, I know, Hillary is smiling again. She should be. With her campaign all but stalled under typhoon Obama, until the Rev. Wright Bomb hit and the game was afoot. Then, came her Bosnia bombshell.
The problem, as I see it, is that the Hildabeast can’t insult enough people by herself, so she gets Bill to help her sabotage her campaign. Barack on the other hand, does great as long as he is “Hoping and Changing”, but stumbles every time he shoots from the “lip“, or panders to a crowd, when he doesn’t think the cameras are running.
No John, the good news is that you can fire your “strategists”, at least until the Democratic Convention in August. In fact you can probably go it alone as long as Obama and Billary are competing to see who can “out stupid” who on the Dem’s side. Ron Paul and Kucinich must be crying in their latte’s witnessing the roadshow of those left standing.
The bad news is that you will be facing the wrath of whoever walks away from their Convention. Scabbed, scarred and suffering the loss of tens of millions in precious donations fighting each other, the chosen candidate will be in no mood for polite debate or, for that matter, any thing Marcus of Queensbury. Prepare yourself for a return of “This Is Your Life, Part Deaux, All Things Wrong with John McCain”.
Believe me John, it’s in the can, which is where you will be in short order. Enjoy the moment. Seize the day. Relish being on top of the food chain. You’re about to experience more pain than you ever got in Nam and they won’t leave a mark, at least one you can see.
