Where's Judd Gregg on Death Panels?, Part II

by: Dean Barker

Wed Aug 19, 2009 at 15:45:41 PM EDT
Judd Gregg finds time to leave FOX News studios:
[Gregg], who is not running for re-election, is scheduled to participate in a health care forum at 9 a.m. in Salem, an event open to the public. He will discuss health care at the Portsmouth Rotary Luncheon at 12:15 p.m.
I am (sadly) still out of state on family business, but I sure hope someone will ask our senior senator why he has not addressed the lies his Republican colleagues have spread about Death Panels.

Silence is complicity.

Where's Judd Gregg on Death Panels?, Part II | 2 comments
A national (4.00 / 2)
view of Gregg.

According to the diary, Judd Gregg takes 57% of his campaign donations from corporate PACs. That makes him third on the list, compiled by Nate Silver, just behind Enzi of Wyoming and Crapo of Idaho.

From the diary:

There's no question but that the goal of those like Grassley, Nelson, Conrad and yes, Gregg is to kill reform dead, or barring that water it down so that it does not so much as strike even a glancing blow against insurance industry profits. That's why we're a hell of a lot closer to seeing a provision out of the Senate mandating that every American must buy private insurance from the companies in question than we are to any provision meant to reduce costs or encourage competition.

But it's important to remember that these people, this small handful of very "bipartisan" senators who are the single biggest roadblock to American healthcare reform, due to their insistence on bending to the needs of corporations to make a profit in the deal, just somehow are coincidentally the very same senators who are most dependent on corporate contributions. When it comes to elections, the people living in the states they represent are not their most important constituents.

So maybe instead of Judd Gregg (R-NH), it should read Judd Gregg (R-AHIP).

Now we know Gregg isn't running again, but he may be angling for some kind of lobbying or board position. Where does his protoge stand on this, again?

Joe Klein has written an excellent piece discussing the takeover of the Republican Party by nihilists, and the inability/refusal of "mainstream" Republicans to stand up and say, stop the lying. Judd Gregg should read it and explain.
