The best way to keep something out of a government program? No program!
With the House hurdle out of the way, government health care has inched closer to being a reality than ever before. Hopefully, it will be stopped in the Senate, if the Republicans there don't make the same mistake they made in the House and help facilitate its passage by "sweetener" amendments. As I explained in the previous post, defeating government health care in its entirety would stop abortions within government health care. If the idea is to prevent tax dollars from funding things they don't like, then don't enable a program in the first place! It's like federally-funded filthy art in the NEA. If there was no NEA, the taxpayers wouldn't be paying for filthy art or any other art. But this touches on an irony that the anti-abortion people forget. If the health care bill passes and government takes over health care, the anti-abortion regulations could be removed by means of another bill. Which means that the Republicans have now made taxpayer-funded abortions more and not less likely. posted by Eric on 11.09.09 at 09:09 AM

I have a few words to add to the debate. And a bit about the NRAL. Two posts up. The Republicans are the anti-abortion party. Everything else is far down the list. M. Simon · November 9, 2009 05:08 PM Post a comment

But their NRLC ratings will be 100%, and that's what the party cares about.
Remember, when in conversation Bush disdained popular conservatism, he cited Ralph Reed as its leader. He isn't -- what percentage of tea partiers would even know who Reed is? -- but that's how they think.
The G.O.P. malignantly misunderstands and alienates its voters. That's why they lose.
(And I think they want to lose, but that's a different subject. Or maybe not.)
