Pharmacy

If Rick Santorum gets elected President I think that I will need to open up a pharmacy. Not just any pharmacy but one that will challenge the Federal government regulation of prescriptions. We will fill any prescription, we will fill requests without a prescription, and no employees of conscience. It is about freedom, the tea party should support me but they won't. They are all about freedom except when it comes to drugs and drug policy. Then they are all about big government solutions.

Environmental Stewards

Rick Santorum claims that God called on us to have dominion over the Earth and to be good stewards of land. He uses this statement to bash environmental activists, suggesting that we are good stewards of the land because God commanded it. He misses the point that the environmentalists are making, that we have not always been good stewards and maybe God is not pleased. For example, is fracking in the Senator's home state where the groundwater has been contaminated with natural gas and other chemicals an example of being a good steward? Or, taking down mountains for mining destroying God's magnificent beauty? Or, in Wisconsin allowing a mine that will cause pollution of lake Superior in an area that people travel to for its beauty? No, I think that there are many examples of poor stewardship.

Rick Santorum is In

Rick Santorum is running for President. He was on with George Stephanopoulos and said the most incredible thing about Medicare. He faulted Paul Ryan for not going far enough. Then he proceeded to state that about 25% of Medicare recipients are currently in Medicare Advantage which is the same plan as the Ryan plan. He then went on the say that the primary takers of the program are the less educated and poorer retirees because they recognize that it is a good. This has to be a mis-statement. Some people would say that these are the people who are likely taken advantage of. In fact, he failed to mention that Medicare Advantage costs more, covers less, and people generally don't like it, which kind of indicates that they were taken advantage of. Again it fits in with the less education and less wealth.
