Those plans will include initiatives ranging from a single payer system, to employer mandates, to tax incentives for the purchase of private health insurance. But only one candidate has actually done something, waded into the issue and emerged with a successful plan that does not resort to one-size-fits-all, government run "Hillary Care." That inn...
Mitt Romney's Record on Economic Issues
Mitt Romney's Record on Economic Issues Club for Growth Releases Fifth Presidential White Paper Romney's Record: Promise and Puzzlement Washington - Today, the Club for Growth released its presidential white paper on Republican presidential candidate Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (see PDF or HTML ). The fifth in a series of white papers on the pro-growth records of presidential candidates, the attached report provides an extensive summary of Mitt Romney's economic record from his unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate to his single term as governor of Massachusetts. "Governor Romney's economic record contains a mixture of pro-growth accomplishments and some troublesome positions that beg to be explained," said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. "While his record on taxes, spending, and entitlement reform is flawed, it is, on balance, encouraging, especially given the liberal Massachusetts Legislature. His record on trade, school choic...
Inquisitive NH Voter Reacts To Giuliani Remark
Read Jon Keller's Political Blog Slideshow: 2008 Presidential Hopefuls Jon Keller Reporting (WBZ) BOSTON Giving the little people a chance to face off with "big people" is what makes the New Hampshire primary famous. Rudy Giuliani is the latest candidate to get caught off guard by a cut-to-the-chase question from a voter. I spoke with the Derry, New Hampshire woman who brought him up short, and she's feeling the heat for her question. Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien says she was just curious about the apparent lack of support for their father's candidacy by Giuliani's son and daughter from a previous marriage, but that query and Giuliani's dismissive reply have been the buzz of the political world all weekend. "I asked him how he'd expect the American people to give him loyal fellowship if he was having a hard time getting it from his own family." Giuliani's response: "There are complexities in every family in America. The ...

'IF YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR OWN HOUSE, YOU CAN'T RUN THE WHITE HOUSE'...

Paul Schmitt from the daily Alini: "Mitt Romney: The best solution to America's ills"
Mitt Romney: The best solution to America's ills By Paul Schmitt Posted: 8/21/07 Section: Opinion Columns When your daughter is lost in Manhattan, overdosed on ecstasy, where do you turn? While the NYPD and other run-of-the-mill solutions are probably a safe first choice, I suggest another option - Mitt Romney. Sure, Mitt Romney doesn't wield an M9 or wear a sleek uniform, as far as I know, but he has proven himself again and again at handling crisis situations. Perhaps by the end of this column, you'll be nominating him to handle our country's current crisis situation. According to NewsMax Magazine, a bastion of respected journalism, Romney handled such a crisis in 1996 when the 14-year-old daughter of his business partner went missing in New York City. Romney sprang into action assembling a crack team of more than 20 of his employees and friends from Bain Capital, his multibillion dollar venture firm, to find the girl. Whil...
