I am a fan of Rachel. I cannot much stand Matthews much. During tonight's broadcast of the Opening of the RNC show, the continued speaking over a live performance of the National Anthem with an honorary color guard delivering the colors.

When anyone is singing the National Anthem and the flag is being posted on stage, please STFU for a sec?

There is a reason they said "please rise for the National Anthem"

Both of these two would not shut up as a really nice rendition was performed.

I know it was abandoned early on for lack of Congressional interest, but I'd like to know if it was ever or will ever be scored by the CBO?

I wanted to bring folks back to reality. We must reject the mandated, un-Constitutional gift to the insurance companies that is today's revelation.

I would like to direct everyone to re-read not2plato's August journal:

HR 676 or The Health Care Tyranny will Continue...

I have to agree that we are getting the bait-and-switch. We can't lay the failure of Congress to act on just Joe Lieberman.

Crony capitalism is a pejorative term describing an allegedly capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between businessmen and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth.

Crony capitalism is believed to arise when political cronyism spills over into the business world; self-serving friendships and family ties between businessmen and the government influence the economy and society to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals.
