Lamar Alexander: Step by Step -- GOP Health Plan is to provide Incremental improvements
Posted by admin / Under Incremental Dating
What are Republicans for? For the Democratic senators who kept asking this question during the health-care debate, the only answer was for Mitch McConnell to roll a wheelbarrow onto the Senate floor with an alternative 2,700-page, comprehensive Republican health-care bill. Or a 1,200-page Republican climate-change bill. Or a 900-page Republican immigration bill. But people expecting that kind of an answer will be waiting a long time. On health care, clean energy, debt reduction, and immigration, Republicans have been offering an alternative to thousand-page bills: going step-by-step in the right direction to solve problems in a way that re-earns the trust...

Hillary Clinton - still socialist after all these years
Posted by admin / Under Incremental Dating
...Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential juggernaut looks increasingly unstoppable.

This week’s entry is addressed to my fellow libertarians – that is, to all persons (however they identify themselves, politically or philosophically) who take liberty, the freedom of the individual, as their highest political value. (I include within the word libertarian, as I use it here, all kinds of limited-government libertarians, whatever the philosophical basis for their libertarianism: Objectivist libertarians, utilitarian libertarians, Christian libertarians, etc. For reasons discussed below, I exclude anarchist libertarians, whom I do not hope to persuade with this essay.) Some of my fellow libertarians are wondering why I plan to vote again for George W. Bush...
