'SUP WID HEALTHCARE?

Neal Boortz "If the Democrats were truly concerned about improving the delivery of health care and making insurance more affordable they would have tried at least one of the following three options: Give individuals the right to deduct the cost of a health insurance policy from their taxable income. Your employer can do it, why not you? Allow insurance companies to market their products across state lines. Allow people to organize into groups for the purpose of buying health insurance policies.

Neal Boortz "As I've said before, we have three basic classes of people in our society. There are the producers that create the wealth.

Bay News 9 "Yon says morale among British and U.S. troops had stayed pretty high, and now the troops there are really ready to take the fight to the enemy. "Just in the past couple of days since I have gotten back, I have talked with quite a few," he said. "It's clear they see this troop commitment is very important.

Obama’s Exit-Strategy Justifications

Max Boot in Commentary "Does anyone doubt that if Obama were still in the Senate and President McCain were announcing a troop surge in Afghanistan, he would be in violent opposition? I don’t. It is, therefore, all the more laudable that he has gone against his natural instincts by ordering the surge. But there is obviously still a part of him that is uncomfortable with the policy.
