EXCERPT---
"The law’s defenders (ObamaCare) legitimately argue that it is not sufficient merely to criticize the Affordable Care Act; responsible action requires proposing an alternative. Fortunately, Republicans have a good one, and it’s been hiding in plain sight for the past seven years. The plan was first described in President George W. Bush’s 2007 State of the Union Address, but it remains timely. This plan would remedy most of the major problems that exist in America’s health care system and cause less destruction with fewer adverse consequences than Obamacare."

You know, if one slings enough mud against the wall, some of it is bound to stick. This is the applicable phenomenon for all the distortions and misdirection emanating out of the DNC. People have been fed so much in the way of criticism against Republicans, it is difficult to discipline oneself to the degree necessary in order to avoid believing some of the lies subconsciously. And, as the above referenced article proves, Republicans do have ideas, it's just that those ideas are unilaterally rejected out of hand by current Democrats.

Admittedly, I would have resisted George W's proposal in 2007, because ultimately, it would have required me to give up my cadillac insurance, for a plan that covered substantially less. Obviously however, though I wouldn't have recognized it at the time, my plan will be likely be subjected to change in in any event due to ObamaCare mandates. In our defense (labor), we have spent our entire working lives working toward goals and securities that are now under threat. What is the reason for all the insurance bru ha-ha anyway? After all, medical insurance reform has proven to be the overriding obsession of the entire 8 year Obama era.

I believe, as I have said on occasions past, that this whole thing is a social reckoning. Rich lefties have never liked the fact that organized labor has managed to capture such a comfortable style of living. And, that would include their health insurance plans. The irony is that through the same technique called out above, uber rich liberals, who say they are all about fairness issues, (like equality of income, ones size fits all insurance, global warming, a wind up little scooter for every cookie cutter American, no guns, redistribution of wealth, etc. etc.) , are the ones guilty of being anti-labor, not the Republicans who thanks to propaganda, bear the full brunt of labor's ire over their shrinking relevance. Thus we see that Dems continue to successfully dodge responsibility for their own actions by merely blaming Republicans. I can't resist this example to demonstrate my point a bit further. Ever been around the guy who was so unabashed, he could cut the cheese and very adeptly blame somebody near for the deed? The tactic works, and works well.

What we are seeing is a movement to reorganize the social structure of this country. Know-it-all liberals think they should be at the top of the food chain (shocker), followed by professional folks, followed by labor (which in their mind is not much more than a massive collection of brain dead handy men), and at the bottom level are the poor. What is so laughable, is how willing labor is to do the bidding of the left. So thick is the fog bank in which they grope, they wrongly suppose their future is secure through some quid-pro-quo deal with the Devil. Hence, labor dutifully keeps on sending Dems back to the hill, all the while, not understanding that their own actions are in no small way, helping to ensure their own demise.

So, while I and the rest of labor plied our trade, the jealous, judgmental, self absorbed liberal elite have been plotting a reckoning. A leveling of the field that will affect all the little people while leaving themselves unscathed. Such notions are un-American. If ultimately successful in their quest to fundamentally transform this nation, any chance for those in the middle class to get ahead will vanish into history. And, Dems will go on blaming the Republicans for the whole mess.
