Lieberman is a Putz

Senator Lieberman thinks we should go slow on health care reform, wait until the economy recovers before we enact expensive programs. He sees no need for immediate action.

I will translate: There are a lot of working poor who don't have insurance. It would be expensive to cover them. If we wait, we will save money because we won't help them pay for health insurance, and many of them will die without health insurance and never need to be covered.

Health rationing is real and has real consequences. I know. See my story.

Uncertainty

Who will I support for President? I had been leaning toward John Edwards, but he dropped out. I cannot support any Republican because I fear who any of the Republican candidates would appoint to the Supreme Court. Realistically, I am left with Hillary or Barack. Because I live in Texas ( a Republican state), my vote will not count, so maybe I should forget about the Presidential race.

Still, there is a small chance that my vote might count in the Democratic primary, if Super Tuesday does not determine the Democratic nominee. I will have to study both candidates positions. My focus will be health care and stem cell research, but I also need a better feel for both candidates character.

I read the story of Deborah and Barak in Judges. Are we looking at a modern day parallel? My intellect says that is ridiculous; my heart says God speaks to us in mysterious ways. I will have to think and pray on this.
Choice can be so difficult.
