The battle over the future of health care in America continues to rage, with Democrats putting up a new ad criticizing Republicans as simple obstructionists, and Republicans firing back at the old stand by of wanting to prevent socialized medicine. And the title of this post brings us to the Steven Pearlstein article in today’s Post that bears the same name. Pearlstein is critical of Obama on several fronts, but makes the essential point that the status quo cannot be allowed to be an option here. The second article deals with the potential national adoption of the individual mandate, which appears to be picking up political steam. The Dems have produced a political ad scoring the Republicans for their health care position. I have included a Senator Jim Demint diatribe against the Dems as well.

Your Honor,
There you go again. Trying to make your point by using adjectives to denigrate.
“Democrats putting up a new ad (no adjective-ed) criticizing Republicans as simple obstructionists, and Republicans firing back at the old ‘stand by’ (adjective-ed) of wanting to prevent socialized medicine”.
What is wrong with fearing socialism?
However if you look at the status of the bill right now, you will find no one knows what it consists of.
The President admitted he did not know.
You certainly don’t know (there is no organized plan yet)
I don’t know what is planned except for a huge Government take over of 17% of the economy.
Now the Wall Street Journal, oft quoted by you, says it is the worst bill ever conceived, the Mayo Clinic doesn’t like it either.
Please correct me if I am wrong about your particular health bill knowledge.
So I ask, If it is a choice between this health bill and Socialism and no health bill, which would you chose?
By the way Jim Demint is my hero. I also use diatribe to rave at this Chavez type drive to socialism.
