It has fascinated me how this so-called conservative has decided to abandon the principle of free market competition (which is central to real conservatives) to grant the pharmcos the dispensation from competition under the medicare prescription program. Not allowing the government to negotiate for lower prices is beyond appalling. It is a PAYOFF to his rich contributors. He is doing the same thing with his efforts to federalize tort law by relieving doctors of being held fully responsible for their malpractice. Claiming that non-economic damages in malpractice suits is the cause of the rapidly rising malpractice premiums, he tosses conservative principles right out the window by asking that jurors in our individuals counties and states be prevented by federal law from deciding what compensation to pay an innocent victim of malpractice. So much for his phony belief in small government. The truth is that malpractice verdicts have had little, if any, influence on malpractice premiums shooting up with the resulting problems for doctors. Those increases are more than anything else the result of greed on the part of the insurance companies who have used excessive verdicts and " frivolous " lawsuits as the Bush equivalent of WMDs. In both cases, they are full of hoo ha. Lying for the sake of profit. Where are the real conservatives who want to let the individuals have the power over their own lives and not let the federal government reign supreme over all of our lives? Just asking.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Bill, We are here but what are we to do? Vote them out? The elections are rigged and the so called liberals play the same game! I am for starting a new political party but the powers that be are so entrenched that is all but impossible to do.
