The ratings for cable news programs are out for April. The top
11 rated shows are all from Fox News Channel.

Dave, aren't you fired up that Tommy Thompson is going to run
for Wisconsin Senator?
Got to respect a guy who only runs when he's not a clear
underdog.

I wrote Thompson off when he didn't run in 2008, when he could
have kept the Senate Republican. I no longer vote in Wisconsin,
but if I did, it would have been for Neuman.
Thompson is as bad as Lindsey Graham.

This is the best explanation of RomneyCare I have seen.

/> I believe Dave mentioned that it would kill Romney's chances
and it may but this explains why it he didn't back away from it.

If it doesn't kill Romney's chances, it should. Romney would be
an extremely flawed vessel to exploit one of the best grassroots
issues against running against Obama -- ObamaCare, with its
mandatory component, disregard for the marketplace and impact on
the budget.... and Romney's plan had each of those defects. So
while it is conceivable Romney might get the nomination, it
would mean effectively muting the attack which could be made on
ObamaCare in 2012, and significantly improve Obama's chances of
re-election (which should be extremely low).

One day, as Brian rides his bike to Whole Foods, a Chevy Volt
broadsides him. The electric engine was just too darn quiet. He
never heard it coming.
LOL!

I read the link, Robb.
The situation is horrible. I certainly wouldn't dispute that.
But the solution is not to take away the individual's right to
choose how to run his own life.
The solution that Romney should be advocating, is to eliminate
the idiotic law that Reagan signed. Make plain to everyone that
if they do not have health insurance and can not pay for their
own medical emergencies, then neither the government nor the
hospital will pay for their treatment.
If there are those out there that feel that this is too hard
hearted, then they can start a voluntary fund where anyone
wanting to help in such situations can contribute to the cost of
such treatment.
Otherwise, the government is given total control over our lives.
We shouldn't eat unhealthy food, because we might get sick at
government expense. We should't smoke because we might get sick
at government expense. We must wear seat belts because we might
get hurt at government expense. We must wear helmets because we
might get hurt at government expense.
Of course, it is all right to produce as many children as we
wish, even though they will be fed and clothed at government
expense. After all, the promiscuous are voters.
