What grade would you give Barack Obama so far as President?




Instead of giving consumers more choices and companies more flexibility to meet their demands, which is how real innovation happens, she imposes government regulation and higher taxes. By going after the profits of the energy companies and forcing them to play the Washington game in order to be eligible for funding Hillary simply raises the cost of doing business. And this cost is passed on to the consumer. This is the worst of both worlds: higher taxes and higher energy costs.

The most famous of Hillary’s big government solutions is of course health care. Since her previous attempt at reform ended in disaster Hillary has gone to great lengths to describe her current proposal as all about choices. But the fact of the matter is that under her plan the government would mandate that you purchase health insurance and set the rules for how you do so and what qualifies under the mandate.

In order to insure that everyone has access to the system she also proposes massive subsidies for those that can’t afford it and penalties for those who don’t comply. Again, since when has government meant lower cost and better service? Government control will lead to higher costs and eventually the rationing of care.

Hillary likes to brag that she is the only candidate with an economic blueprint. She has a blueprint all right; one with higher taxes, more regulation, and less freedom. On issues ranging from energy to the housing market from healthcare to education, she proposes to restrict consumer choices and increase government regulation. This is a recipe for economic stagnation and the growth of government not a thriving economy.

Those celebrating Hillary’s latest comeback should not lose sight of the danger her policies pose to the country.

In other words, be careful what you wish for.

Yet Another Republicrat Who Doesn't Get!
Mr. Collins, are you so naive to believe Rush Limbaugh really wants to see Billary re-elected for another eight years?! Rush's strategy is brilliant, but much too complicated for all you Republicrats! THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF REPUBLICANS, IN AN OPEN TEXAS DEMOCRAT PRIMARY CROSSING THE AISLE & VOTING FOR BILLARY WAS TO KEEP BILLARY & OBAMA CLOSE IN THE DELEGATE COUNT STRAIGHT TO THE END OF THE PRIMARIES & KEEP THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN UTTER CHAOS & AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS! GET A CLUE REPUBLICRATS!!! LET BILLARY & OBAMA GET EACH OTHER AS DIRTY AS POSSIBLE & MAYBE THE REST OF THE NATION WILL COME TO IT'S SENSES!!!

Hillary is so bloody awful...

...that she's *JUST* what America deserves right now.

Think like the Founders, who were - unlike most posters on Townhall - literate in history.

Bubba's Ball-and-Chain is 21st Century America's version of Caligula.

If we've got any hope of gettting a decent Emperor in the next go-round (like Claudius), we have to shove the collective nose of the people (and the faces of the Praetorians in the RNC) hard and hatefully in the stinking feculence of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

People need to learn - "good and hard!" - about how Christlessly bad real, pure-quill, *It Takes a Village* "Liberalism" really is.

Before they come back to their senses and elect an honest-to-God conservative government.

Which we will never find on the Republican side if we continue to let the RNC slime specimens like John Sidney McCain III into the presidential nominee slot.

All this GOP loyalty among self-professed conservatives on Townhall is pretty nauseating, isn't it?

It's what I hear from women involved in serial violent abuse cases when I patch them up in the Emergency Department.

You whine about how much worse it would be for you to leave your "lover," all the while hoping against hope (and experience) for him to "reform" and stop treating you like dirt.

Listen up, girls. Your GOP main man is going to keep on keeping on unless you jerk him up by the short hairs.

It's time, ladies.

Hell, it's *WAY* past time.

"Think of the children!"
