Media The Suburban Times?

Ryan Blethen has some advice to make the GOP stronger.
1
what exactly is "market-based health-care reform?" we already have a free-market health system, and it involves spending over twice as much per capita as other countries and getting worse care and leaving a significant portion of citizens with no care. is the market going to reform itself? what incentives would cause it to do so? the fact that costs are rising at over 10% annually? please explain why the health-care industry would want to turn off the money spigot.
can you support our current market-based health care system which leaves 15% of the population without coverage and also oppose health-care rationing? if the republicans are so opposed to health-care rationing, why are they opposed to providing reproductive services to women?
how can you oppose cap-and-trade while supporting "market-based energy reforms?" cap-and-trade is how the market determines the price of greenhouse gas emissions.
it's cool that in the world republicans live in never-ending war (including their new wars with iran and north korea) and ever-increasing military budgets don't contribute to the deficit and are paid for with money magically conjured from their asses.
they support the right to bear arms but not for iran or north korea.
can they even define victory in iraq and afghanistan?

Inbred. Publishing's Paris Hilton. A living example of why the estate tax is a really good idea.
No Blethen has had to really work since The Colonel was called home to be with Jesus. Even when they kill The Times, there'll be enough money to keep them comfortable for a few generations.

@1- Market-based health care reform involves getting rid of all government involvement. So that way only people with money can get healthcare, and only people with lots of money can get good healthcare (like drugs from countries with "socialist" things like safety standards). And that would be better, because poor people deserve whatever happens to them.

"A group of influential Republicans is not only against small government but want a small political party."
What? Ryan doesn't even pay anyone to edit his stuff anymore.
How can anyone be surprised by this list? Anyone who still calls themselves a Republican is impossibly stupid. Anyone who still calls themselves an Independent is deluded. Anyone who still calls themselves a Democrat is depressed and worried about 2012 and not because the world may end. It's not a good time to claim membership in any political persuasion.

@3 - market-based health care reform means 20 percent increases every year.
In other words, the usual Republic Party of No hatred of America, our Government, our President, and our Middle Class.
