Yammering, Stammering Self-Contradictory Rambling

This man clearly is confused, obviously way off-script without a teleprompter rolling it out for him.

He argues his "public option" by analogy to private shipping versus the post office....then goes on to say :

"It's the post office that's always had the problems."


No shit, Sherlock. Thanks for making the most succinct case against your own scheme.



"Now, you'll always hear folks say that the free market can do it better; government can't run anything. And what I say is, well, if that's the case, nobody is going to choose the public option. So the private insurers, who I think are very confident that they're providing a good service and a good product to their customers, should feel confident that they can compete with just one other option." Obama 6/24/2009

The question of the day is why Obama did you forsake your doctor of 20 years, a supporter of single payer. Why did you admit that ONLY single payer would cover EVERYONE, and in the next breath start talking about some unknown, untested health care program, which will never bring down costs. What the Senate is proposing is very slick. Trying to tie their position to the same health care system offered to federal employees, a "menu" of FOR profit health care companies? Thats your answer to the biggest ever growing job destroyer, health care solution.

There are at least 4 different reasons why people are showing up at town halls. Single payer supporters are NOT permitted inside, many have been arrested and if they show up with a single payer sign, they are not permitted in.

Another group are those who are fed a daily diet of emails from Freedom Works, Patriots First and other groups supported and funded by the insurance groups with mis information, lies and deception.

A third group are those who actually do want to get some information and are drowned out.

The fourth group are those who work for the insurance companies and are bussed into from out of state, out of district just to disrupt and cause chaos.

Rick Santorum throwing his hat in the ring, means the republican party will pose Newt, Santorum and the others as "real moderates" as opposed to the wing nuts.

We need a new party, new choices that come directly from educated, informed citizens who want to truly change this country from the left and the right. Nader was right. He said, "Obama will prove to be a big disappointment unable to deliver on hope and change".

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
