Wait, What's This?

An effective marketing counterattack on the Dem's health care plan by the Republicans?

Democrats love taxes

In theory, at least.

Heartbreak

If a "good liberal woman" loses out to a man--even a black man.

Democrats sexier than Republicans

Now that they're in control of Congress.

As one Democratic campaign strategist remarked, “Taking back the majority certainly has its perks. With the shift in power has come a shift in social standing for once-shunned Democratic operatives. It seems everyone from lowly interns to nerdy policy wonks have a full dance card so long as they have a ‘D’ behind their name.”

The strategist added that perks aren’t limited to normal social interactions: “Not only are Dems getting more dates, they are getting better tables at restaurants and they are not waiting in line at exclusive clubs.”

And Glen Bolger, a GOP strategist for Public Opinion Strategies, recently told National Public Radio: “Democrats are sexier to voters than Republicans are now.”

Regulating drug prices

Is a key part of the Dem's agenda, according to Doug Bandow.

Drugmakers are not beyond criticism, of course. But they should not be demonized. By any measure of social good, the pharmaceutical makers constitute one of America's most important industries. Their products save lives, heal diseases, and improve lives. Instead of targeting drug manufacturers, legislators should applaud them. Indeed, a political party that really cares for the sick, the disadvantaged, and the poor should appreciate the work of the pharmaceutical industry.
