So I go to vote and discover ...
I never changed my voter registration. I am still a registered Democrat. Still. A Democrat.
While I'm far from the most conservative Republican, I wonder if I am in fact the most conservative Democrat in the U.S. right now.
So I had to vote in the Democratic Presidential Primary. (I picked John Edwards.)
There it is. I'm still a Democrat. People lied! Bush's snide!

Couldn't you have written in Joe Liberman? Or better yet, Howard Dean?
My other choices were Howard Dean (no way), John Kerry (not yet), Dennis Kucinich (not a chance) and Lyndon LaRouche (never). Edwards seemed like the best of the bunch, except maybe Kerry.
On a side note, I know someone that worked with him and they said that he really is a good guy.
Of course some doctors make mistakes at patient's expense. That's one of the reasons for a tort system and for malpractice insurance.
The problem is with (probable) scumbags like Edwards who get rich off of suing doctors for cases where they can spin a sob story and convince a jury that the patient deserves money, not necessarily from the doctor, but from someone, and the doctor is rich.
Here, let me point you to someone who hates John Edwards because of this.
Yes, but since Howard Dean is out, a vote for him is a vote not only for George Bush, but for whatever republican will run next time as the democrats push ever father to the lunatic left.
The way that I figure it, once they go far enough over that cliff, they'll have to redefine themselves to get at least 40% of the popular vote and will at least largely return to sanity.
But maybe we just need to wait for the current generation to die off. As many people have noted, the wacky left is carrying a surprising amount of grey hair.
Hmm ... maybe what they need is a generation in the wilderness.
By the time the Baby Boomers die off, I'll be too old for it to matter to me. And some of these young 'uns are more frightening than the Baby Boomers ... some are essentially primitives, barely able to read, write, speak, covered with tattoos and punctured with piercings, and living superstitious and emasculated lives without at least the tribal initiations and taboos to restrain their behavior. One day our nukes will be passed to them :)
Just in case you wanted to sleep tonight.
Tort reform is overdue. Of course, I have kind of a big government solution so you might not like it.
There's plenty more. He happens to be a doctor, all of whom suffer as a result of immoral trial lawyers. The reason that we can't throw the tort system out, of course, is the moral tort lawyers (that's oversimplifying for parallelism of structure in the statement, but I trust that my meaning is clear enough).
I'm curious, what's your big government solution? I am very curious to hear the big government solution to awarding compensation to the victims of medical malpractice while minimizing the abuse of the system.
No, no sleep problems for me. They'll be far too drug-addled to know what nukes are by the time that it comes their turn.
