Fancy-Shmancy RNC Video Comes With a Little Truth…

Aside from having more stock photography and a fancier veneer than you’d think the RNC could muster, this video actually comes with a little truth.
Where most people take issue with the idea of health care and health insurance reform is wherever it might limit their ability to choose for themselves. Proponents of the reform are well aware of this, and have done much to try to assuage these fears. “… let’s give you choices, let’s give you options,” says Barack Obama, “That’s been my proposal.”
In reality, though, what kind of options will we be left with? The video points out that, aside from other taxes, legislators have proposed a tax on anyone who deliberately chooses not to participate – the vast majority of those uninsured millions in the US.
The reform debate is a hugely important debate whose outcome will have some major far-reaching impacts on the future of our country, which is why I say, let’s not mince words and let’s not try to fool each other. Good or bad, whatever you believe, the proposed reform may make some options more accessible to some, but it will definitely limit your freedom to choose.
A quick primer on the Huntsman/Romney brouhaha
If you’re late to the game of the Huntsman/Romney “who’s gonna run for president” horse race, the Salt Lake Tribune has a fantastic primer for you in Saturday’s edition.
Basically, we’ve got two LDS men with gubernatorial experience who Utahns think are the cat’s meow, and they both are believed to want the job in the White House and both might be among the country’s best chance to return the GOP to the promised land.
If you haven’t been keeping up on the ins and outs of the jockeying for position between these two, this piece is a must read.
