I was watching this morning when Will said this and I yelled out

"BOOOOM"

Donna could say nothing but had a stressed out look on her face

Donna didn't you study arithmetic in grade school, or did you forget that 60>40?

Facts are like kryptonite to the liberal.

Donna Brazile is a ventriloquist's dummy with voice provided by her fellow inmates at the DNC.  Her last original thought probably occurred in late 1991.

We need to get George a pair of jeans...and he will be fine.

Once again.. the R's at the upcoming 'setup' conference on health
care reform w/ the President should do the following.

1st. Using all of the poster board available and using bold bright and red colors (thinking of Ross Perot here), present the data from the endless national polling (including NPR's latest) reminding the President, the D's, the press, and the American people, that the people have spoken, and a strong majority do not want their form of massive of health care reform on the table for discussion.

They have clearly stated - take it off the table, and start over. That does not mean that the President post his revised version of the same multi thousand and multi $Trillion bill on the web, while he and the Democrats are planning behind closed doors to pass it anyway [reconciliation] when the R's don't buy into what Obama is peddling.

The R's need to make the case that they are on the side of the people here; they are the populist party in the moment.

2nd. Offer a deal to the President and the D's. If you folks, your families, and all of your staff and their families will immediately withdraw from the Federal Employees health system, and enroll - your choice - either into Medicaid, or in Medicare, Parts A & B (and NO, you cannot opt for Medicare Advantage or purchase a Medicare supplement plan - you only get that stripped down "public option"), and live the experience for the next 3 years, we will sit down and entertain listening to you share your experiences with us and the American people.

Good night and good luck.

Brazile is about as wooden-headed as a cigar store indian, and not half as smart.

As for the Republicans being the party of "no," they need to become the party of, "Hell, no!"

Even now, there are repubs looking to cut deals with the dems on CommieCare, Crap & Tax and a few other things.

These are the repubs that need to be run off next November.

Where there's a Will, there's a way.

George Will is a national treasure.

No one can condense so much insight, truth and meaning into so few words ... which is why the discussion usually "moves on" to another topic as soon as his blank-faced colleagues have been put in their rightful place.

Recently I have been studying the life and times of Abraham Lincoln.  I have asked myself what his core political and philosophical beliefs were.  The question vexed me, until further studying.  With out much fanfare let me boldly state that if Mr. Lincoln were alive today, he would be called a Progressive by some of the right leaning pundits.  Mr. Lincoln has no more in common with the modern Republican Party as say Andrew Jackson has with the modern Democratic Party.  We must ask ourselves who were the voices behind supporting the expansion of slavery?  What were their beliefs?  It is safe to say that these voices such as Jeff Davis, (Who ironically was the military provisional governor of Alaska!) believed in a weak impotent Federal Government.  Thus the name Confederate States!  Lincoln advocated government expansion on industry, on tariffs, and infrastructure.  He established the first truly progressive income tax system as well.  To top that all off, he put the currency of the United States onto the fiat paper money system.  He was also an advocate of a national bank! 

George Will is a brilliant man.  He is an excellent writer and thinker, but his claims of kinship to Abraham Lincoln are quite baseless.        

Taking it to the Democrats and their stupid policies.

I do not understand this "party of no" nonsense, when for the last year the Democrats have controlled the presidency, hava a huge advantage in the House and had a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate.  Under this scenario, why does it matter what the Republicans say about anything? 

Of course it matters because the Democrats know the agenda they are trying to sell is not popular with the electorate; if it was this would all be a done deal.  Dems want some Rs on board so they can proclaim a "bipartisan" feather in their cap, and for Obama.  At the end of the day, it is not Republicans who have stopped Democrats; it is the will of the people--and what exactly is wrong with that?

A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

You've got to be kidding.  Someone criticized the Republican party and Will's rebuttal was to cite something good the GOP did a century and a half ago?  Wow.  How incredibly irrelevant to the topic at hand.  I love ya George, you're one of the few intelligent conservative commentators out there, but this is just sad.  It's something Michael Moore would say.  It's beyond cheap and pathetic.  Our party must be right about healthcare in 2010 because 150 years ago "we" opposed slavery?

I guess the fact that Will didn't cite something from at least the last century - or, you know, remotely applicable to contemporary issues - just goes to show how long it's been since conservatives have been right about something.

This would be funny if the right didn't take such fatuous nonsense seriously.

someone here said, how can there be states without the union or some such drivel. i would like to point out, that when the revolutionary war was won, each state was granted freedom from the brittish empire. not the united states...each state.  and, what did they use to create a government? the articles of confederation, which were flawed, so they sought to change them. up until the civil war, no-one considered leaving the union (except several northern states including delaware and rhode island who frequently used this threat to get bills passed), and it was only then that they realized that there was no clause preventing a state from leaving it. none. nada. it was a voluntary agreement between states to join together in common defense, and provide equal taxation for every state. however, issues arose which the founders did not see, like the fact that while most of the tax money was gathered from the south, most of it was spent in the north. yes, slavery was an issue, but taxation was also a huge issue.

if you think i am wrong, why then were all the southern states made to amend their own constitutions so that they could never leave the united states legally, as a condition of surrender? 

a further point...why do we support states over-seas, who sought to leave the soviet union, when we ourselves deny that right to our own states?

i've watched donna through the years, and i have never agreed with her.  i don't know how this dunce keeps a job.
