| 49. Daschle's impropriety is no match for his hypocrisy. |

Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 04:46 PM by ezdidit
It wasn't his $143,000 in unpaid taxes that did him in.
Daschle was tagged to stump for a government-paid insurance premium swindle - a health insurance bailout on the boards for us. He had been outed as a health insurance lobbyist, and that's why he was dumped.
There's no way we will have true government-run health care for all in the U.S.
The opposition will call government-paid premiums "socialized medicine," because the government will pay disreputable insurance companies to administer a manipulable two-, or three-tiered system of coverage for those who can't afford it.
Watch Democrats accede to the term, "socialized medicine." Watch as the horror stories continue. Watch as the word will go out from official D.C. "experts" that "socialized medicine doesn't work in the US."
