Chairman Tom Price Offers a Conservative Response

[gazelem67]

I'm very, very glad to have Tom Price as my congressman. Others should be so lucky.

Wow, another misrepresentation and lie filled rant coming from the republicans.

When are they going to realize that America has rejected their failed policies and lies?

[vllmer]

After the mortgage crisis (helped by big gov reg) state of social security I don't want the same big gov in charge of my health care. I use to be able to afford own health care. It more than doubled in price b4 being phased out on me. Health care rationing will just be transferred to an all powerful bureaucracy that will encourage euthanasia, like the state of Washington or UK, where doctors are paid to not recommend patients to hospitals. Decades now big gov is pushing everything to the brink.

The conservative movement needs some new leaders, who can reestablish core values around which the next generation can rally. Neither Price nor Jindal seem us to the task.

Simple slogans and simplistic solutions (austrian-free market, indeed) won't reverse the credibility lost by 8 years of a failed conservative presidency and 12 years of a failed conservative congress.

in all honesty, it's time to get rid of the two party system. The D or the R next to a candidates name seems to be the only thing a lot of people pay attention to, and they disregard important things like character, honesty, fiscal responsibility, leadership, executive experience... how in the world did we ever get in to the routine of taking what a politician says as his/her word without having them prove it with action. Our government is out of hand, and has been for decades.

[CoconutsandBananas]

this is how we end up with politicians like Bush and Obama in the position of POTUS, and all of the dribbling idiots currently making our laws who only seem to have their own interests at hand, unless it suddenly becomes "unpopular" to do so... they are by and large whores for their own gain and their own careers, and they are supposed to be public servants, every one from the local policeman to the POTUS.

Jindal was so bad they had to do another response!

[CoconutsandBananas]

Bobby Jindal had good words to say, however he really needs to work on his delivery.... still, the ability to give a speech is probably the least of what i'm looking for in a governmental leader. Bobby Jindal has completely turned around the state of Louisiana since he's been in office, and he is a true conservative.

[djtyg]

Bobby Jindal didn't offer anything new. Just the same ole' "Screw you! You're on your own!" rhetoric that's getting you guys killed in elections.

[CoconutsandBananas]

sweetheart, i'm not a republican, I'm a libertarian. And sucking on the governments tit is only making things worse. Our government was never intended to intervene in things like the banking system, the free market, or health care, and it has no business in doing it now.

[djtyg]

Blah, blah, blah. When taking the b.s. out of your statement, all it means is "Screw you! You're on your own!"

[feriwarlock]

He look like the type that would say "do you like it when daddy touches you there."

[feriwarlock]

"Principled" and Republican are two words that shouldn't be used in the same sentence. All those "principled" Republicans who spoke out and voted against the job-stimulus-bill are now lining up for the money. These "principled" conservative Republicans have no problem eating out of the plate they spit in. They are morally bankrupt. Their only purpose is to empower the well healed. Why do republicans hate America?

[afotia1020]

Ah yes, Republicans aren't principled....like Al Franken who didn't pay his taxes, neither did Hilda Solis, or Tom Daschle, or Nancy Killefer, or Tim Geithner....need I go on? Hypocrites. They want to tax us until we have nothing left, so they can spend, spend, spend and SPEND.... but they don't want to pay for it. Pelosi takes her private jet to Italy, on gas WE PAID FOR

[djtyg]

At least they don't tell you you're on your own when corporate America screws you over.

[sirachman]

Thanks, and heres to a FISCAL austrian free-market conservative running in 2012!
