Conservative Voice

It’s amazing that Romney is now often referred to as one of the top two Republican candidates for President. Six months ago he didn’t seem to have a chance. But he did have a strategy, and it seems to be working. He’s almost like the Bill Clinton of the Republican Party. He’s hard to classify – very conservative, but formerly pro-choice. Nobody gave Clinton a chance in the early days of the race. And Romney’s obviously very smart, as is Clinton. Romney made millions finding and creating value in companies and organizations where nobody else could. Turn that intellectual power on to a presidential election, and he just may pull it off. And the beautiful difference between Romney and Clinton is that Romney would use that brainpower for the good of the country, rather than for his personal benefit at the expense of the country, like Clinton.

Patrick Leahy is strangely ignorant for a Senator with so much experience. I’m so tired of hearing his tired whining about the new head of the Justice Department and how he had better not be dishonest and do bad things for the President the way that evil Alberto Gonzales did.

First of all, Gonzales didn’t do anything wrong. There is only the appearance of wrongdoing. And of course, that appearance of wrongdoing comes from liberals like Leahy whining about him and the press eagerly echoing the whines. Gonzales may have approved the firings of a few AGs, but he had every right to do that. And if the President thought he should do it, there’s nothing wrong with that either. The US Attorney General is a cabinet-level position that is appointed by the President. He is in the Executive Branch of Government. He works for the President, not Congress. And people under him can be hired or fired by him. Leahy needs to google “three branches of U.S. Government” and try to understand how these three branches work. A little knowledge on this subject might help him understand his job a little better as a Senator and as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and keep him from making a fool of himself repeatedly.

Time to start writing about the 2008 Presidential race.

Here are a couple interesting thoughts on health care under a potential President H.R. Clinton:

Rudy Giuliani had a great quote: If we institute Hillarycare, where will the Canadians go for health care?

On that point, have you ever had to get a drivers license, or a building permit, or do you already have to work through the Medicare nightmare to get health care, or have you ever had to see a doctor in a foreign country — not third world — I’m talking about countries in Europe or Australia or Canada? Think about the people you had to deal with and the bureaucracy you had to put up with. Is that really what you want your health care system to be?

Don’t post some comment about how everyone is covered there. Everyone is covered here too. My nephew just had brain surgery and the only difference between his care and the care of the immigrant kids that were in the hospital at the same time is that his care was paid for by my brother-in-law and his insurance, whereas the immigrant families all got their care for free.
