Can the House Republicans hold out against calls to pass the Senate’s version of immigration reform? Will Speaker Dennis Hastert keep his pledge never to bring legislation to the floor that doesn’t have support of a majority of the House......

Germany used to be called the "medicine cabinet" of Europe. Look at them today; little to no innovation in recent decades. The same thing has happened in Sweden, whose largest pharmaceutical company has its main research in the Boston area.

I could go on, but Megan puts it better than I could:

That also tells us that if we got single payer here, prices worldwide would have to go up, or R&D would collapse -- industries that sell at marginal-cost pricing do not have big research budgets. Yes, my single-payer-loving friends, so would the 1% of industry revenues that gets spent on advertising, plus whatever boondoggles they give the doctors. I'm more worried about the 20% R&D spending, thanks. If Canadians and Europeans were smart, they'd stop snotting about our health care system and start rushing to assure us that it's -- "just awful -- nothing you'd ever want to try for yourself".

Obviously you don't know what the words 'objective' and 'fact' mean. There are benefits to national health care for some but it's certainly not 'far better' for most people.

I don't think he would be for undermining a war time President by citing extremism as a way to erode, and fracture the party.

Goldwater was a work in progress and evolved overtime he came to loathe party disunity.

He also didn't cotton to racism and being of Jewish heritage-his mother-he had a famous story about how we was not allowed at certain golf clubs because of his last name.

Finally, Barry Goldwater was one fine damn pilot and he loved the Air Force. He came to the Academy frequently and the cadets use to try and stump him and find a plane that he didn't fly. One time the cadets decided to throw helicopters at him. Damn it if he hadn't flown one of those or several.

There is no way in hell Barry Goldwater would be liking what Buckley at NRO-the East Coast Republican that has decided he ain't all that for the war-never really was thank you very much-is doing.

There is no way in hell that Barry Goldwater would cotton to Republican's throwing around impeachment as the neo-vote of confidence. There is no way in hell Barry Goldwater would like that faux patriot Michelle Malkin-and he'd tell her so in very colorful language.

This success would be impossible to achieve here however as long as conservatives have any say in the matter. They would sabotage it every way they could to make sure it was a failure.
