Another example of why letting the Democrats ever again controll any portion of the Federal Goverment is insanely risky. The notion that once in they would easily be routed out of power again is nonsense.

Secret plan alleged on campaign financing Sacramento Bee ^ | 9/19/6 | Jim Sanders

Posted on 09/19/2006 9:54:35 AM CDT by SmithL

A California Nurses Association publication indicates the group is pushing the Proposition 89 campaign-finance measure as a Trojan horse to get what it covets most: universal health care, opponents said Monday.

Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the strategy basically was spelled out in a document that appeared on the nurses association Web site.

"They have a two-step process here," he said. "One is to eliminate the ability of business to communicate with the voters. The second step is to have government-run health care on the next ballot ... and deny voters the ability to hear the other side."

Proposition 89 would allow public financing of campaigns for state offices, an overhaul touted as a way to discourage undue influence by well-heeled special interests.

The measure, crafted by the CNA, is on the Nov. 7 ballot.

Chuck Idelson, spokesman for both the CNA and the Yes on Proposition 89 campaign, said the nurses group has supported universal health care for many years but that the campaign-finance initiative is not specifically linked to that goal.

Universal health care is a bitterly controversial concept to replace California's system of private health insurance with a state-run system to provide medical care to every resident.

BOO-YAH!!!

[Mr. Mojo]

Loved that comment by Rush.

....but the Persians did make some fine rugs.

Thailand is more than 90% Buddhist.

That's what I thought. So this "coup" should be a non starter.

Thanks for the history lesson. BTW

[American Quilter]

I wish W had referred to "Iran" by it's historical name, Persia.

Interesting idea--what would be the significance of that?

[DoctorMichael]

I love the manner in which the speech is written.........He's addressing the people of each country (NOT their rulers that are sitting at the UN General Assembly) and giving them a challenge.

Very effective.

[American Quilter]

Pita Bread.

LOL!

[ChicagoConservative27]

Did i just hear a cell phone go off?

[Eagle of Liberty]

FR slower than a snail for anyone else?

W just appointed a special envoy to FINALLY solve the problems in Darfur.

[Bahbah]

The President is pulling NO punches.

[Sensei Ern]

What the world!? WLS just went to music in the middle of the speech!

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

"But the President is on an entirely dufferent level than I am. He is playing an angle."

In addition to very carefully explaining to those bums at the UN just exactly where the bear went in the forest and what he done when he arrived.

Every time I hear him in a situation like this, I thank God I never got into a high stakes poker game with Bush.

That bunch of stiffs he's talking to right now are like a bunch of 10-year-old sandlot ballplayers who stumbled into the middle of a Yankees/Red Sox game.

We called it Balady bread in Egypt

I agree.

"Did i just hear a cell phone go off?"

I heard something too. Thought it was the ice cream truck making a round here, but it's not, so I'm thinking it's a cell phone.

[Roccus]

And a "special envoy" would do this how?

[TexasPatriot8]

Another really good Bush speech.

[Bahbah]

I see the President has decided to speak just as long as he pleases. :)

[Mr. Mojo]

KTTH (up here in the Northwest) cut the speech for a couple commercials.

[defconw]

I gotta wonder if President Bush isn't a closet Steeler fan. ;)

[Clint N. Suhks]

Ernie driving in his pink Miata with his Poms hanging their heads out the window are coming to the rescue!

They just passed me on the Beltway.
