This is all about employers getting out from under providing health insurance. I can guarantee you they won't give raises to compensate for their large savings that will result.

No but they increased benefits in lieu of wage increases. Guess who loses again?

[kcar]

At least he stopped winking.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thanks for your faithful reporting of the speech in snippets easily readable.

[null and void]

Yes I did, I would have added it in just to rub more salt...

[La Enchiladita]

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

[jackv]

OMG!!! Liberals reluctant to stand for victory!!!

[Cinnamon Girl]

Pelosi is averaging 70 blinks per minute. Amazing. And she's moving her lips around like it's her first time wearing lipstick. What's going on up there?

[krunkygirl]

...there is no energy in that chamber

[april15Bendovr]

I stand corrected

[edpc]

Who didn't know the Dems would not stand for victory.....

[BigBlueJon]

The Democrats wouldn't stand for Victory!

[DocRock]

Chill out and laugh a little every now and then...

[Lunatic Fringe]

States that make basic private health insurance available to all their citizens should receive federal funds to help them provide this coverage to the poor and the sick.

Does anyone still think this President is a CONSERVATIVE????

[penelopesire]

OMG..THE DEMS COULD NOT STAND UP FOR VICTORY IN IRAQ!!!

[Pro-Bush]

Only after you have met the minimum deductible ($1,000)and one can only write off a maximum of $5,100 under current tax code.

[FreedomCalls]

"We are carrying out a new strategy in Iraq – a plan that demands more from Iraq’s elected government, and gives our forces in Iraq the reinforcements they need to complete their mission. Our goal is a democratic Iraq that upholds the rule of law, respects the rights of its people, provides them security, and is an ally in the war on terror."

[mware]

SOB they won't even stand when he spoke of Victory.

[StarCMC]

Great. Now I'll have nightmares.

[kenth]

I would absolutely love for VP Cheney to take the nomination. No one, other than Duncan Hunter, has me the least bit thrilled about '08. Cheney would be a Godsend.
