From the article:

An inside source in the John McCain New Jersey Presidential campaign headquarters, which just opened this past weekend, confirmed they were instructed by senior campaign staffers that all Republican and GOP pictures, logos, and symbols were banned from the headquarters.

The staff was also instructed that they are not allowed to have any joint events with any republican organizations. The banning of his own party from his regional office comes as yet another blow to what appears as an unmotivated and not included base.

“We don’t want to isolate anyone,” said a McCain staff member, who asked to remain anonymous. Unfortunately, the already shaky McCain base is feeling even more isolated because their presumptive presidential nominee doesn’t want anything to do with their party.

This comes on the heels of another contradictory stance with his own base that has some Republicans scratching their heads. Just last week, McCain spoke again about his position against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which came days after President Bush’s plea that drilling in ANWR would be beneficial and not leave a large footprint.

The US state of Georgia has blocked construction of a new coal-fired power station because of concerns over its carbon dioxide emissions.

Environmentalists welcomed the news, and predict the decision will lead to reconsideration of many coal power plants under development in the US.

The judge cited a decision by the Supreme Court last year which issued a ruling recognising CO2 as a pollutant.

This is the first court judgement on an industrial plant based on that ruling.

Then there’s this part where Harry Reid speaks out against oil and coal, saying that they “make us sick” (warning: YouTube video).

Harry, you crooked criminal piece of filth, everything makes everyone sick - especially creeps like you! We NEED coal. We NEED oil! The benefits of both exceed the minuscule amount of discomfort that result from their use! Without oil we don’t have all kinds of things such as plastics. Without oil, our economy cannot operate.  You say that we can’t solve the oil problem by drilling: Says who? There’s more oil within the USA to operate the USA for hundreds of years! Our country has coal out the WAZOO and it’s what we need for electricity. Why is it that Harry Reid, Obama Hussein, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the communists have no answer to anything except that their answer stifles American productivity, lowers American standards of living, and denies American exceptionalism?

What’s really incredible is that morons like Harry Reid can say stupid things over and over again for decades and STILL get re-elected!  What does that say about the people of Nevada?  What does it say about the people of the United States of America who do NOTHING to stop idiots like Harry Reid from ruining their future?  It takes a wealthy criminal to actually be an elected Democrat, but it takes a mind-numbed bunch of ignorant, government educated, immoral, unethical, freaks with zero self respect to support Democrats. If you are a Democrat, (1) you’re stupid, (2) you are not capable of rational, informed thought, and (3) you are destroying our country.

For all his sheer insanity, Harry Reid’s antics attained to the #1 spot on YouTube today!

A glowing Amy Winehouse bounced back from her recent health problems to sing at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park last night… Winehouse left a private London hospital on Monday after being diagnosed with early signs of emphysema following a fainting incident last week.

What has happened in the U.K. mirrors that wherever the failed idea of universal, government controlled healthcare has been implemented: Private care for the wealthy only.

When “free” healthcare becomes available, demand for services skyrocket. Government, being notoriously incompetent in managing anything, causes the system to bog down. Quality is reduced because the existing infrastructure cannot support the increased demand. Also, the amount of money available is insufficient to cover the expenses of the system, resulting in (1) higher taxes, (2) restrictions and rationing of the care that is available, (3) medical professionals leaving the “system” because of their new inability to determine their own earnings, and (4) the establishment of private sector solutions to the problem that government has created.

Ironically, the result of government healthcare is the exacerbation of the same “problem” the liberals and the ignorant seek to address: Quality healthcare is available only to the wealthy.  As was the condition before government took over healthcare, private healthcare is not affordable (as it is now unaffordable in the US). Those in the middle and lower tiers of income can neither pay the cash price, nor can they afford to purchase insurance. The situation is worse since the working class is now burdened with the excessive taxation required to support the government system, so now even FEWER people are able to afford healthcare. Only the “well to do” are able to purchase private health insurance, and the ultra-wealthy opt-out entirely by paying cash. So, in the end, it’s not just the poor who have no healthcare: it’s the middle class too.

In conclusion, I summarize the conditions that caused American healthcare to become unaffordable to so many.  The first cause of increased costs in the (current) American healthcare system was health insurance. As more people received health insurance as a company benefit, healthcare providers naturally became aware that more services could be given (and at higher prices) because a guranteed source of payment now existed. These higher prices compelled even more people to acquire health insurance, thus sending healthcare costs into an upward spiral.

Mandatory coverage of indigents and illegal aliens at healthcare facilities has placed added costs on healthcare. Also the cost of those who are uninsured and just cannot pay. These costs are added on to the costs that are billed to paying customers. Health insurance providers, in effort to remain viable, must charge more for premiums and cover less in services. This has resulted in a steady decline in the number of people able to afford health insurance and a steady increase in the “insured’s” unpaid portions of healthcare bills. As the cost of health insurance skyrocketed (For example, my health insurance cost has increased 1300% over the past 10 years), we now have “insured” Americans who cannot afford healthcare. Thus, “free” healthcare has tremendous appeal to the masses who fail to consider the end result.

The solution for the healthcare “problem” begins with one fundamental realization: healthcare is not a right. Healthcare is not guaranteed to the people of America by The Constitution of the United States of America. Sure, healthcare is a need, but it is not a right. The solution also requires a monumental action by the Federal Government: the Federal Government must be completely extricated from the healthcare business. Even as our healthcare system is today, the burden of the government financed and government mandated healthcare cannot be supported. By removing a HUGE portion of the demand through one single action, downward pressure on prices would be immediate. With the government OUT of healthcare, more competition would become present in the health provider and health insurance industries. Less room for greed and fraud would mean lower prices for all.
