McCain open to government control on drug prices… (the end of the free market!)

I love the drug reimportation question. Are you for buying drugs from foreign countries? McCain was asked about that today:
Matt Lewis, Townhall: It’s easier to sell liberal ideas as opposed to free-market solutions. How do they plan to do the latter, and what about drug importation? — Fundamental difference of putting government in charge rather [...]

Where does Mary Katharine Ham find her stats?

During her latest appearance on O’Reilly’s show, MKH said that the endorsment of Obama by Michael Moore was a bad thing, because the “credulous super liberal latte drinker that love Michael Moore are the Obama base”, where as the blue collar democrats dislike Michael Moore. Hot air asks…
Does Michael Moore’s endorsement do anything for Obama [...]

Why can’t I get access to the same health care as McCain?

Today, McCain was asked the following:
STEPHANOPOULOS: One of the points Mrs. Edwards made in the Wall Street Journal, she said that your whole life, you had government health care. You were the son of a Naval officer, a Naval officer, now a member of Congress. And her point is, why shouldn’t every American be able [...]

Hot Air confused about the Universal in Universal Health Care

It would be funny if it wasn’t so important. When writing about Hillary’s money trouble, Ed at Hot Air writes:
Yesterday, Allahpundit posted on the Politico’s story about the Hillary Clinton team not paying their bills. Today Kenneth Vogel digs a little deeper, and discovers that Team Hillary’s commitment to universal health care doesn’t even extend [...]

When you kneel too much at the altar of the free market…

Some people just don’t get it:
ARLINGTON, VA. — Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Democratic presidential contender John Edwards, said she and John McCain have one thing in common: “Neither one of us would be covered by his health policy.”

Under McCain’s plan, insurance companies “wouldn’t have to cover preexisting conditions like melanoma and breast cancer,” [...]

Hillary can offer many good things

I love how the media can make a snow hill out of global warming a snowflake. Hot Air recently commented on the Hillary/Tuzla controversy. For those not keeping track, it’s about Hillary lying/misspeaking on how she arrived in Tuzla.
So after discussing the impact of that mistake, here is the conclusion:
And now the admission that she misrepresented [...]

Yet another Boo Freakin Hoo moment…

Brought to you by Michelle Malkin… err… Paul Krugman:
Last week, Robert Rubin, the former Treasury secretary, and John Lipsky, a top official at the International Monetary Fund, both suggested that public funds might be needed to rescue the U.S. financial system. Mr. Lipsky insisted that he wasn’t talking about a bailout. But he was.
Where is [...]

Your Boo Freakin Hoo moment of the day…

From CBS (through Crooksandliars)
In a matter of hours, Remote Area Medical set up its massive clinic, for a weekend, in an exhibit hall in Knoxville, Tenn. Tools for dentists were laid out by the yard, optometrists prepared to make hundreds of pairs of glasses, general medical doctors set up for whatever might come though the [...]

The bogus Republican free market

On This Week with George Stephanopoulos, McCain reinterated his support for drug reimportation to lower the cost of prescription drug. This is now a new position.
What’s funny though is the cowardly attitude of McCain. If you said the US government should fix prices, all the Republicans would be up in arms about government interference in [...]

From one flip-flopper to another…

It looks like it’s McCain’s turn to be called a flip-flopper…
The problem I have isn’t the flip flop. What bugs me is the ‘I am 100% convinced’ line of arguing that isn’t 100% correct, words like ‘no doubt in my mind’, ‘we are not going to XYZ thing’, etc.
McCain was being a cheerleader for the [...]
