Nothing matters beyond intention with liberals.  It doesn’t matter that government run health care has failed in other countries, or in this country.  If they were serious about finding a solid solution to health [...]]]> http://www.neopoliticker.com/health-care/liberal-policy-why-test-when-you-can-assume/feed/ 0 http://www.neopoliticker.com/political-parties/a-third-party-solution-tea-party-no-a-reptea-party/ http://www.neopoliticker.com/political-parties/a-third-party-solution-tea-party-no-a-reptea-party/#comments Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:01:10 +0000 McDugal http://www.neopoliticker.com/?p=88 I listen to my fair share of talk radio and hear a lot of people who call into voice their support for a third party.  Rasmussen polls shows how voters would likely cast their vote: Democrat: 36% Tea Party: 23% Republicans: 18% Undecided: 22% While the idea of a third party is definitely romantic…  it would end up being a romantic tragedy.

Considering that the federal government’s primary job is to protect, I would love to see at least 80% spending on National Defense.  Not 80% of our current revenue, I would like to see the United States spend a lot less overall but given that they are tasked by the constitution specifically to defend the nation, [...]]]> http://www.neopoliticker.com/national-defense/national-defense-spending-man-on-the-street/feed/ 0 http://www.neopoliticker.com/health-care/politicians-health-care/ http://www.neopoliticker.com/health-care/politicians-health-care/#comments Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:44:14 +0000 McDugal http://www.neopoliticker.com/?p=42 I just read an article on the National Review Online by Ramesh Ponnuru talking about “facts” touted by politicians on the senate and house floor. I am only going to steal one of his quotes: Majority leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) attributed 45,000 deaths each year to lack of insurance.

Starting in the 1300’s and lasting into the 1800’s our planet experienced what is referred to as the little ice age.  This was a period of time when the Earth cooled down.  There was a lot of skiing and ice skating, people keeping warm by their fires at night and all that good, pure wintry fun.  There [...]]]> http://www.neopoliticker.com/climate-change/little-ice-age-little-heat-wave/feed/ 0
