Okay, first thing I'd like you to do is read - or reread - the previous blog. (pause) That concludes the homework assignment. Now we'll discuss. I know that some of you are groaning when liberals like me are rehashing The Donald ad infinitum. And yeah, that is me. However, I do respect intelligent Republicans and Democrats. Lately, I've had a whole slew of people - George Will, David Cay Johnston, and Tony Schwartz - in my blog list. They are all Republican. And they all despise The Donald.
I beg of you, please. Click www.senate.gov and tell them to say NO to this 'health care' idiocy. Is what we have (ObamaCare) perfect? Nah. But it's a damn sight better than Donald's Little Nightmare.
