Bold Move

Mon Feb 09, 2009 at 22:03:25 PM MST


Impressive. Rep. Gary MacLaren (R-Victor) wants to repeal the Healthy Montana Kids Act.

The Healthy Montana Kids Act got 65% of the vote in HD 89, which Rep. MacLaren represents.

Like I said, bold move.

Update -- This makes more sense. It is moving in a package with A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: LEGALIZING TORTURE OF BABY KOALAS AND PROVIDING AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE DATE.

But... (0.00 / 0)
I get so confused. I thought Republicans were the party of the people. Wouldn't it be elitist to try to overturn their wishes?

Apparently not, when it means trying to take healthcare away from kids.

United we stand, divided we fall.

power to the polite people!


You know, Matt (0.00 / 0)
The R's started off reasonable and civil, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there are several amongst them that can't contain themselves.  

There's a flurry of bills moving about that we've yet to even see - not even placeholders for at least 2 that I know about.  

I've maintained a nonpartisan stance so far - good bills and bad bills (not Republican bills and Democratic bills) - but I feel soon I'm going to have to start talking about the lunacy coming from that fringe group within the party, along with the control they've got over the rest of them.

It's a shame, really.
