The American Spectator

Kyle Smith| 12.14.09 @ 7:16PM

As always conservative media is late to the party. They're Tweeting now that loud applause is coming out of the Democrat Party meeting room. Every conservative blog I read is MIA MIA MIA MIA. (MISSING IN ACTION). This is why we lose. I don't know where everyone is, but either stick to blogging and actually keep up with the pulse, or be a public speaker somewhere. You guys fail at doing both. Where's Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Powerline, American Thinker (Their day ends at 2 PM I swear). The Conservative Media is slow and loses time and time again. Many start the weekend on Friday.

Yeah, at Noon it looked like Obamacare was dead. Time to do a little Christmas Shopping. Well, a handshake between Reid and Lieberman takes 2 seconds, and it sounds like it just happened.

While I don't share Kyle's vitriolic attitude towards the "conservative media", I do share his view that there is little doubt that the Democrats, after struggling mightily and absurdly to reach an "historic" compromise amongst themselves, will produce and pass a bill enshrining into law a huge power grab by the federal government over the US healthcare system. It is exactly the wrong direction for the country.

The Republicans must be faulted for failing to articulate and promote successfully an alternative vision comprising equal tax treatment for individual plans as a means of encouraging portability, reduction or elimination of mandated coverage, encouragement of high-deductible plans (so-called "catastrophic coverage", which is what I have), interstate insurance competition and , of course, government-provided coverage for people in need, howsoever one wishes to define it.

Elimination of the private healthcare insurance market for all but the wealthiest in America, as is surely coming, will result in higher taxes, increased medical costs, less choice, and lower quality for the vast majority of Americans.

And, by the way, will harm US competitiveness in the global marketplace.

Thanks Paul, I need a lecture from the smart ones to calm down now and then. Yeah, my post was so vitriolic, almost as bad as the left wing media who in less than 24 hours had a petition going around to try and get Lieberman's wife fired from her job. Of course, I wouldn't agree with doing the same to my adversary, but you gotta admit; the libs fight like dogs.

Meanwhile, we conservatives will just keep promoting our books and having freedom concerts, go on week long golf outings every quarter, and wonder why the message gets lost. There is a lot of media out there and a lot of worthless conservative noise. You can count me among them if you want, but I vow to remain vigilant for freedom. Evil doesn't take a vacation or set their watch by going to dinner.

Remember, Conservative media guys who have made it, gather up the cash and it don't really matter if their principles don't win the day, because they got the cash. No worries. Be moderate, Palin is unqualified, massage Democrat legislation, everything is alright, the silver spoon is still in the mouth.

Roger that, Kyle. Just wish I had a book, golf outings and/or a silver spoon! Maybe in my next life.

One official said participants at the meeting broke into applause when Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who switched parties earlier in the year, said he had made his move to become the 60th vote for health care.
