National Republican Party leaders had ideas. Today, they just blast blindly away at whatever Obama does. This Weblog from the Eagle throws some cold-water reality on the health care debate. Obamacare is pretty close to what former Kansas GOP Senators pushed, and the Heritage Foundation espoused, and even what Jim Barnett when he ran for Gov. against Sebelius proposed four years ago. But now, it's socialist/takeover/radical/tyrannical, and all the other superlatives you can think of.
This health care reform isn't radical at all, which is too bad because the system is so sick it needs more radical change. Radical would be single payer system and getting rid of private insurance. This builds on private insurance. It doesn't do enough to control costs, as this article points out.

I agree we should have a radical change. What we really need is a single payer health care system. Say what you will about republicans blasting Obama's policies. In my opinion they have every right to speak there mind on issues. Even if you don't agree with them that is one of the great things about this country, we are all entitled to are opinion and can voice it.
We are getting radical change right now, and the American people are not at all happy about it.
The tide will change in November.
I just finished Hannity's new book (Thanks for the suggestion) and in it he lays out a set of rules for the way the conservatives should lead this nation. It is very good. I hope the Republicans are paying attention.
And democrats didn't blast everything Bush did? Suddenly its we all need to get along? Perhaps they should have been practicing what they preach. I see changes coming in November....can't wait.
