Ed Markey is still hiding...

Well, the President keeps pushing socialized medicine, and the country keeps pushing back. We’ll see if the Obama/Pelosi/Reid team, with help from our own Frank/Markey dynamic duo can succeed in foisting this travesty on the country, or if it can be stopped. Either way, the Democrats are taking a lot of hits for the effort. Here’s the latest Rasmussen polling data. This might turn a few heads at the white house. Or Congress.



Now, while President O has been marshalling his forces and spending all his effort on the Obamacare effort, other things have been going on in the world. In Afghanistan, we appear to be sinking more and more troops into a morass of a situation. Does the President have a plan B? It is fortunate for him that the war protesters have gone silent. And what about the release of the Lockerbie bomber? How does that happen? There certainly appears to be a lack of attention to all things non healthcare.

If we can make it to next fall without the wheels completely coming off the cart, the country appears to be waking up from its Obama mania and seeing the large mistake that has been made in turning the country over to the liberal nut jobs. If the Republicans continue to fight against socialism, the fall 2010 election should restore some sanity to Washington.

It's time to go Ed

It’s high summer in the Northeast, and the political temps are running hot. Barney Frank made headlines recently for comments he made at a healthcare town meeting . And while I continue to believe most of what has gone wrong in this country over the last several years can be squarely traced back to Barney (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac at the core), I did want to give the man props for actually holding a town meeting to explain his health care ideas to the voters.

Here in Natick, our Congressman is Ed Markey, who has not held such an event, and apparently has gone to ground, hoping the voters won’t notice. Here’s a quote from the press release the Congressman issued just before heading out for vacation:

“In the fall, Congress will pass comprehensive health care reform legislation that will preserve patient choice and lower costs to make health coverage more affordable for individuals and small businesses. During this markup, I fought to preserve a strong public option and ensure that our world-class hospitals in Massachusetts continue to receive the federal funding that is commensurate with their vital mission. “

Fighting for the “public option”. Fighting hard to give us the same quality of health care as Canada and England. Fighting hard for rationing of healthcare, fighting hard for socialized medicine. And we haven’t even talked about one of the biggest taxes ever to be dropped on consumers: the “Waxman-Markey” bill.

Come on people – this entire healthcare and energy tax fiascos are going to result in an epic backlash across the country in 2010, with Ed Markey being absolutely out of touch with his constituents. Where is the Republican candidate to offer voters an alternative to Ed? Come on people, let’s get organized!
