Carly Fiorina Delivers Weekly Republican Address

This expertly delivered speech on the topic of government run health care by cancer survivor Carly Fiorina might just be the “suitcase nuke” that takes out what remaining momentum remains to pass a version of the Democrats’ health care “reform” this year.

In the weekly Republican address, Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP, describes how she was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer.

She explains why the recent recommendation on mammograms from a government-run panel was so troubling, especially because costs were a significant factor in the decision.

She points out, “The health care bill now being debated in the Senate explicitly empowers this very task force to influence future coverage and preventive care.”

She wonders, under the Democrat health bill, “Will a bureaucrat determine that my life isn’t worth saving?”

“Do we really want government bureaucrats, rather than doctors, dictating how we prevent and treat something like breast cancer?” she asks.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: A Liar, An Ignoramous, or Just Stupid?

Bush-Hitler-Visual-PromptIt speak volumes about our local media environment that the following audio clip of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) comes to us via an out-of-state website with no connection to Rhode Island. Not a single word has been mentioned about Whitehouse’s downright ignorant remarks in any of our local newspapers or three television stations, or to our knowledge, even on talk radio.

Sen. Whitehouse was apparently opining on an out-of-state radio program about the supposedly shabby treatment that President Obama has received during his first year in office — in direct comparision to the wonderful treatment that former President Bush received — especially by an unidentified “some” who have portrayed President Obama with a “Hitler moustache”.*

This is the verbatim quote:

For example, the president portrayed with a Hitler moustache. I don’t recall for eight years President Bush ever being portrayed with a Hitler moustache. Poor President Obama comes in and within his first months, people are running around America, portraying him with a Hitler moustache, because we want to reform health care.

Pray tell, what else has Sen. Whitehouse not seen during the previous 8 years?

* Of course, Lord Wheldon Shitehouse conveniently fails to mention — amongst other things — that the main purveyors of the “Obama as Hitler” photos at various public events, are the supporters of perennial Democratic presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche.

PS A visual prompt has been provided above in order to remind Sen. Whitehouse, who apparently suffers from unidentified case of amnesia, of the results of a simple Google search of the terms “Bush Hitler” or “Bushitler”. There are slightly over a half-million results.
