Win or lose -- let's hear it for Hoffman!

Today will be an interesting day. I am pulling for Hoffman to come away with a huge victory -- so far, from what I've heard from him, he's exactly what this country needs -- someone honest who understands business and understands the danger of a voracious government.

 

Of course, the other side is already downplaying the election and claiming that the conservatives are short-sighted, that they will set themselves up for failure in 2010 because of their arrogance. Oh, shut up. Drop all the political spinning and phony posturing. Get real and enjoy the moment.

 

Who could possibly think Hoffman will not be good for NY-23 and the country? The guy's solid -- give it up and congratulate the fella, he's come a long way and represents what makes America special. Every once in while we need to remember that freedom of opportunity is a great thing, and that we don't cotton very well to plutocracies and other -cracies. In America, any damn thing can happen.

Democrats show true color on public option

I wrote in a post three months ago that the Democrats don't care what the Republicans have to contribute to healthcare reform, they are going to get a public option that leads to single payer. The states will now be pressured to not opt out and it won't be long before the progressives are on the road to single payer, government run healthcare.

The whole bipartisan bit was a charade, a cynical ploy to make it look like the Democrats wanted a bipartisan effort. There's no question that the Democrats want government run healthcare and they will lie, cheat and steal to get it.

This can all be undone if the public unites and punishes the progressives in the next two elections. I was thinking today that it Hoffman wins in NY-23, and the 2010 elections are hard on the progressives, there might enough momentum and inspiration for the American people to demand free market solutions to healthcare, re-ignite the economy and get this country on the right path. It's time to stop the progressive nonsense.
