I used to think that Heritage was a good group then I learned they went for obamacare and other stuff I could never support.
Rod, I just did a casual search and did not see anything where Heritage backed obamacare. Maybe AARP? (for sure!).
Rush promotes them all the time. Probably a aponsor. I think/hope they are the good guys

Well, I visited there in the 1980s. It was in the 1990s they toyed with government health care concepts—they’ve never supported Obamacare. Their approach didn’t really take off back then though Rodham probably used it at some point during her kubuki dance as first lady.
Everybody gets something wrong somewhere along the way. Even the best. In any case, the place felt like “home” in a way no other place in DC ever did.
Yipes..it is hard to figure out the players.
I see the movement of DeMint as being a sign of things to come.
To that end, I am creating a list of planks for the soon-to-be Tea Party. Y’all can contribute your own thoughts for consideration.
FIRST-ANYBODY WHO COMPLAINS THE MEDIA IS BIASED CANNOT BELONG TO THE TEA PARTY!!!
Oh yeah, I know the media is biased and YOU know the media is biased. Let’s not cluck our collective tongues anymore, let’s just all agree that the current Mainstream media is biased and let them have their way. Being biased is NOT against the law. Sitting around and complaining about stuff does no good. DOING something about it is the way to go.
Which leads me to plank #2: The Tea Party shall have a Minister of Propaganda, let’s not call it anything else, let us nominate and elect someone whose only job is to each and every day mine the big newspapers, the major media and the Talk shows and rebut each and every stupid talking point those dolts repeat. The Minister of Propeganda (again, we will call it THAT so we have our own like THEY have a bunch and so that every time we mention OUR Minister of Propeganda we imply that they too are ministers of propaganda. Which they are.) will distribute the Tea Party talking points and guests on the major Blogs or Breitbart....that sort...will have rebuttals against the lamestream Ministers of Propaganda.
Finally, for now, I want somebody appointed, maybe under the “transparent gubmint” act, who is in charge of figuring out where all these gubmint numbers they throw at us come from.
Lookie, every time I started a new job, I NEVER took a darn soul’s word for the origins of the numbers on the financial statements, size of payroll, whatever numbers they might spout. Just as soon as they said that income was such and such, or expenses were such...I tell them to let me see.
I print out the General Ledger detail if I had to, and I’d question every number that made no sense to me. In my lifetime I’ve found many, many errors. Never just accept what someone “tells” you is fact.
Because working and figuring and planning based on bad numbers is simply stupid.
For one example, though I’ve got plenty, where the hell do they get those unemployment numbers come from? As I understand, the major payroll services, such as ADP, are major contributors to that report. I want the Tea Party auditor to see how ADP gets their numbers (did payroll all my life, I KNOW how it’s figured) and I want the auditor to take a real close look at what those boobs in the congressional budget office do with the numbers.
It’s time for us to know where they are figured come from and that’s high on my list for the new Tea Party.
Somebody tell Jim DeMint to call me.
