It's not so bad for the GOP... 2 reasons:
(1) Lieberman is the swing vote in the Senate.
Bush has him on virtually every pro-Israel and military vote.
Karl Rove planned the whole thing.
(2) After 2 years of MoonBat GridLock...
It will be time for CHANGE back to the GOP in 2008.

Quote from dddooo:
Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, 52, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and an internist at Cambridge Hospital:
Q. What is driving our high health care costs?
A. Administrative costs. As of 1999, these accounted for 31 percent of U.S. health care expenditures, compared to 16.7 percent in Canada. In fact, we spent $1,059 per person on administrative costs, compared to $307 in Canada. With a single-payer system, we could save $209 billion a year by eliminating the high overhead and profits of the private insurance industry. Administrative costs may even be higher with the new Medicare bill.

Many private doctors are giving up practising just because of the excessive paperwork. Private Healthcare is a panacea just like private armed forces or private police force or privatizing social security ( what's wrong with 401k's?! ....oh right, neocons want to reimburse their largest campaign donors!! )

Bush does not need anyone on pro-Israel votes, it's bi-partisan. And Lieberman wants seniority, he's is obviously not going to get it in the republican party. Lieberman is driving a hard bargain but if he is offered a democratic leadership position he can't resist he'll be forced to compromise and vote party lines. Don't count on him all that much.
Karl Rove planned the whole thing.
Yeah, he also planned for Bush to lose the popular vote in 2000 and be reelected with the smallest margin ever in 2004. Talk about true-believers!

That's too bad that republicans will have 10 times as many seats to defend as democrats in 2008 and Bush will still be just as unpopular.

If by "paperwork" you indeed mean writing a massive check to cover their malpractice insurance then yea, you're right. Doctors are giving up on medicine. And what political Party is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Trial Lawyers association?
bsmeter. Should be bullshitter. Or maybe it's pig latin. bs-me-masterbator. Seems apt..........
While the number and total payouts of all malpractice lawsuits (less than 1% of all healthcare expenditures) have not increased in recent years, the malpractice insurance premiums have skyrocketed. Blaming it on trial lawyers is a joke, once again the insurance companies making out like bandits at the expense of both doctors and patients are the culprit.Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

BTW single payer system would most likely solve this problem too.
Quote from HoundDogOne:
Just a point about "complete sentences".
GWB is a great campaigner...
And has made very, very few spoken "mistakes"...
And his speech plays very well in the South...
Because it is the language of a Christian family man...
Which is precisely WHY it freaks out Elitists and Social Deviants of every stripe.
In contrast...
Two cool, professional pols like Gore and Kerry...
When up against GWB in a campaign...
Have made countless idiotic statements and mistakes...
And are now in well-deserved oblivion.
I was not referring only to Bush. Hastert was not much of a communicator, and neither was Frist. Mehlman seemed to spend all his time pleading with the NAACP. Bush's had the advantage of running against two arrogant, condescending elitists, and he came off as honest and straightforward in comparision. Now he is coming off as stubborn and clueless.
Conservatives feel a lot of frustration because the Republican leaders seem afraid to explain conservative principles and stand by them. They would rather put in place huge government programs so that they can brag that they "did something" about some imagined crisis.
