Horn Defends Democracy from Uninsured Americans

Sun Oct 11, 2009 at 09:48:00 AM EDT
Funny:
"We were promised jobs and a growing economy, but instead we got a takeover of the auto industry, a job-killing cap-and-trade bill and health care legislation that threatens the very foundation of our democracy," Horn said in announcing her candidacy.
That must be why the public option is supported by Americans in commanding majorities in poll after poll.

These statements are so, so important to have on record.  Because if and when meaningful health insurance legislation is passed, they will look as quaint and bizarre as Gov. Styles Bridges' rants against the New Deal.

But Ms. Horn does have one fan (from 2008, at least) - Charles Bass:

"I can't imagine any other candidate who could do the job of representing New Hampshire better."
I think Ms. Horn has her first TeeVee ad already made right there.

Clearly a lack of imagination there, Mr. Bass. (0.00 / 0)
It will be interesting to see whether "imagine" is the new replacement for "believe."  

"representing New Hampshire" does leave much to the imagination.  Isn't that what the entrants in the Miss America pageant do, represent their respective states?  If a pretty picture/image is what's wanted, I guess he's got a point.

Of course, if just showing up and rubber-stamping the President's agenda is all that's required, a pretty face is an added attraction.

Note that this is a critique of Mr. Bass only, not of the person of whom he was speaking.

Wow (4.00 / 2)
It sounds like Jenny Horn thinks we've already passed cap-and-trade and healthcare reform! I would LOVE to live in that world!
I'd like to hear Ms. Horn (4.00 / 1)
explain how health INSURANCE reform threatens the very foundations of our democracy.  
Health Care Reform (0.00 / 0)
The republicans and far right have only one plan.  Fear and misinformation.  We the majority in the US have to become the vocal majority and quiet the vocal minority.  It is time for the middle ground people on the mid left and mid right to make a stand and march on Washington.  We have to stop being the computer and couch brigade and come out in great numbers to put to rest the things they make so many people afraid of.
