Our inherently corrupt politic

This Wall Street Journal article, specifically the race in the NY 23rd Congressional District says it all.

"In New York, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman has surged into the lead in the 23rd Congressional District, according to two polls, following the abrupt withdrawal Saturday of Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava. "

"Vice President Joe Biden traveled Monday to Watertown to exhort voters to support Mr. Owens in the House race there. 'We're not asking you to switch your party,' Mr. Biden said in a pitch aimed at supporters of Ms. Scozzafava. 'We're just saying, join us in teaching a lesson to absolutists who come and tell us that no dissent is permitted within their own party.'"

So to clarify, Dough Hoffman is a Conservative running as an Independent. The Republican Candidate, Ms. Dede Scozzafava, dropped out of the race last Saturday. Glenn Beck reported that Ms. Scozzafava is pro-Choice, pro-TARP, undecided on the Democrat created "Health Care Reform" and was also endorsed by ACORN, same as her Democrat "rival." ACORN is the Community Organization that gave advice, in several instances, to a pimp and prostitute that wanted to buy a home to use as a brothel; and import illegal immigrant 13 year old girls from El Salvador to use as prostitutes in that brothel. Vice President Joe Biden flies to NY and gives a speech presumably to a Republican audience asking them to vote for the Democrat Candidate, Bill Owens. All of this of course is to "teach a lesson" to people who do not want a Democrat-lite Republican Candidate.

What's ludicrous about this whole scenario is the fact Joe Biden, himself a Progressive-Socialist Absolutist, is protesting other ideologues. It really is a fear that Progressives in both the Democrat party and the Republican party are under attack. Americans have finally caught on that both parties push an agenda that believes solutions lie within the government. Whereas Americans have seen under eight years of Bush, and one year under Obama, that your choices are Progressive growth under Republicans or abhorrent Progressive growth under Democrats. That's not a choice.

We get $400 billion deficits under Bush and $1.4 trillion deficits under Obama? Either way our purchasing power decreases. We've seen our dollar lose more than 27% of its value since 2000, six percent of that since Obama took office. Where are Politicians that don't believe in deficit expenditures? Where are Politicians that don't believe in bailing out unscrupulous corporations? Where are Politicians that want to actually focus on reforming our health care system starting with creating interstate competition between insurance companies; limiting monetary damages from medical malpractice; preventing insurance companies from dropping coverage of insured; creating a system that allows doctors to override insurance denials; etc.

How about allowing employers and employees set aside $10,000 per year into a medical savings account that could be drawn against when an employee requires a health care procedure? Say for example once that account reaches $100,000 for an individual, or $250,000 for a family of four, neither the employer or employee would be required to contribute further. What would this do to insurance companies? You would now have people shopping around for the most affordable prescription drugs, the most affordable doctor's visits, the most affordable surgeries and cancer treatments. This would create something called responsibility.

Do I care about how much morphine costs when I only pay a $20 co-pay for it? No. But if I had to pay for it out of pocket, and it was $1,000, I would settle for extra strength IBUProfen or maybe pay a little more and get Vicaden. What drives up our health care costs is abuse. How many men not suffering from erectile dysfunction take Cialis or Viagra for recreational use in order to heighten their sexual experience? It only cost them a $20 co-pay and everyone else under their health insurance plan subsidizes the cost. How about someone that doesn't use psychological counseling, should they subsidize someone else's therapy sessions? End the ridiculousness that is our health care system by reforming it, not creating a new Federal bureaucracy. That's choice.

Joe Biden imploring Republicans to vote for the Democrat Party Candidate begs the question why. Americans need to wake up and start asking questions about our current politic. When Democrats are endorsing Republicans and vice versa, there's a lack of real choice. As soon as we recognize Democrats and Republicans are a distinction without a difference, real choices can be made. Liberate our Republic from Progressive Tyranny!
