The moment we Nebraskans have been crossing our fingers over for so long that we nearly went blind is finally here! Bob Kerry has informed Democrats to inform MSNBC to inform people to inform people from Nebraska that he has decided to run for the Senate seat that Nebraskans allowed Ben Nelson to occupy for twelve years. For those broken hearted Democrats that have longed for this day, after being rejected so many times for better opportunies, Bob is apparently ready to scrape the bottom of the barrel and give us his representation.

A Health Care Debate
January 20, 2010The best thing we could do with our health care system, in reforming it would be to take government out of the process more. Right now, the government has so many restrictions on health care that it is almost impossible for a doctor to operate properly. If we allowed insurance companies to operate across state lines, for example, we would open up competition among insurance companies. If we pass tort reform, we would lower the medical costs that doctors pass onto you, and if we increased the uses of HSA’s more people would pay attention to itemized pricing, and we would brings costs down. How many people pay attention to what an X-ray costs nowadays? We don’t because insurance pays it. Government health care would only increase this ambivalence.
The Boston Tea Party
January 20, 2010If Obama had avoided Massachusetts, the pundits in the media may have a point when they attempt to distract you from implicating Obama in this loss. If that were the case, they may have a point when they tell you that Coakley lost because she ran an awful campaign, and that she wasn’t the most desirable candidate for the given time and place in Mass. They will tell you that Obama couldn’t have turned an election in an election that was so far gone. They will tell you that no one, not even the greatest president who ever lived, could have turned this election. Why? From reports that I’ve heard, Coakley was up by double digits weeks ago. What happened a couple weeks ago? The Health Care bill passed the Senate. I’m quite sure that the Democrat pundits on MSNBC and CNN will not mention Health Care Reform as a plausible reason for Coakley’s defeat, but the question should be asked what if Coakley won?
