The demos, the president, and politico.com say that the Republicans have a “responsibility to govern.” So be it. That does not mean that they should rubber stamp every BHO, Harry Ried, and Nancy Pelosi proposal. Why don’t they introduce stand-alone bills to address healthcare issues, such as state-to-state portability? There are a myriad of other issues that can be addressed by legislation. They can introduce bills to give the unspent and repaid stimulus and TARP funds back to the treasury to reduce the deficit. They can introduce a real spending freeze bill to take affect this year. They can reopen oil drilling, coal power production, and nuclear power licensing. That could be for starters, then tomorrow they can work on eliminating any spending motivated by global warming. Bank regulation? Why not common sense requirements such as loan documents that can actually be read and understood by borrowers. The list of real reforms is endless and can be proposed in bills of five to ten pages. Get to it Mr. McCain et al.

and I do not mean join with the Democrats to tweak their plans. We need to propose independent bills free of progressive ideas. (Progressive ideas are those that attempt to solve all problems (including imaginary problems), through more government involvement.)
