Another reply that has nothing to do with the article.

In the case of this article, it appears that the headline writer did Kraut an extreme dis-service. I'd strangle the guy, if I were him. Misleading headlines are a common problem in most newspapers -- especially on conservative commentary and news stories that involve Republicans.
Since a lot of these headlines end up being posted on Free Republic, we're advised not to react to the headline until we read the content.

Isnt Krauthammer a Democrat? He is classified as a conservative because he is for a strong defense and supports the war against Islamic terrorism, but he doesnt necessarily wish the Republican Party well. And, he's a hoplophobe. Years ago, he wrote the the federal government would "eventually" have to confiscate all firearms. Molon labe, Doctor.

I haven't trusted a thing Krauthammer has said since he went ga-ga over Obama's acceptance speech at the Dem National Covention in 2008. He lives in the D.C. bubble, where they see things through D.C. glasses, and simply isn't trustworthy anymore.

Seriously. Sometimes reading Free Republics is like reading DU, only from the other side. Emotional rant, one side argument without any data.

I haven't trusted a thing Krauthammer has said since he went ga-ga over Obama's acceptance speech at the Dem National Covention in 2008. He lives in the D.C. bubble, where they see things through D.C. glasses, and simply isn't trustworthy anymore.I don't trust him 100% either, but on most issues he is on our side, and I think this article outlines the main arguments.
He might have thought it was a good speech (if so I disagree) but since then he has been attacking Obama's policies mercilessly.
Read what K. has to say in this article about Obama's arguments against Ryan:
"major demagoguery"
"Critics are describing Ryan's Medicare reform as privatization, a deliberately loaded term designed to instantly discredit the idea."
"The final charge cutting taxes for the rich is the most scurrilous. That would be the same as calling the Ronald Reagan-Bill Bradley 1986 tax reform "cutting taxes for the rich." In fact, it was designed for revenue neutrality. It cut rates and for everyone by eliminating loopholes"
But he also argues that even though the GOP is right on the issues, Obama is a coward who waited until Ryan proposed a plan to reform and then uses that plan as ammuntion for demagoguery. And we need the US voters to see through the leftist sophistry they have fallen for many times in the past.

One thing Krauthammer did not mention is that Ryan’s budget proposal to eliminate tax loopholes (if it gets that far) will start a war with the lobbyists. As if it wasn’t hard enough.
To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
Did he mention the debt went up 60 billion while they argued over cutting 38. That is a net loss of 24 Billion. Ludiculous.

Since a lot of these headlines end up being posted on Free Republic, we're advised not to react to the headline until we read the content. Some authors are so predictable, that it's not necessary to read the content of their articles, in order to predict whether you're likely to agree with them, or not.
Krauthammer has become someone who I'm increasingly in disagreement with, though he still occasionally makes a point that comports with my way of thinking.

Sometimes Krauthammer’s predictions are wrong. But he also usually lays out the possibilities and writes well.
