Why? Because the parents of those who already had coverage dropped it so that they could get a freebie: Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched. Gov. Linda Lingle’s administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding…

I expect this is happening at a number of schools this year. My 7th grader was called a racist by four of her classmates for supporting McCain. She’s nice and didn’t call them out on their racism for assuming that just because she’s white she wouldn’t want a black to win the presidency. She just…

I think it’s pretty clear this election cycle that we have no intention of allowing others to express an opposing view. We want to silence each other if we do not agree. If we could vote to end one of our rights as a citizen, I bet 1st amendment would be the first to go.…

How did we get from a bailout to free up credit to owning a piece of nine of the major banks (even those who didn’t take on bad debt like Wells Fargo): The chief executives of the nine largest banks in the United States trooped into a gilded conference room at the Treasury Department at…

He’s an excellent spokesman for the average American who is sick of this election and the direction this country has been heading. Here’s an excerpt from Good Morning America: ABC’s Diane Sawyer: “Well I just want to…

I wonder how his constituents feel about being called racist by their representative? He’s a Democrat, so he’ll probably be voted back into office. Besides he brings in the pork, what do they care what he says about them? Just give them the money. (via)

Excellent new ad by McCain but I doubt anyone will listen. He hits all the major points: the economy, a dig at the Bush administration, government spending, Biden’s comment that paying taxes is patriotic and Obama’s spreading the wealth around. It’s positive while it’s negative. And it’s not confusing since there are no references to…

According to Ben Smith, Joe the Plumber isn’t in the Ohio voter file. How funny is that! And not very bright of Joe since his economic future is being determined by the homeless. Do you think they’ll have the economic impact of new taxes on small businesses in mind when they vote? (via) Update: Evidently,…
