What's Better In The News For People Who Want Honesty And Choices Not Deception And Orders

What's Better With ObamaCare? What's better is that it has come out that policy writers for ObamaCare were against Obama making the sales pitch - and lie- that Americans would be able to keep their insurance. They were over-ruled by Obama's political aides. At least, someone ostensibly in the Democratic Party wanted Obama to be honest to we, the people.
  What's Better With Governor Chris Christie? Two Republican politicians openly share about the same values, but one, Ken Cuccinelli of Virginia gets defeated while Chris Christie, in the solidly blue state of New Jersey, gets a very surprising 60 percent of the vote. What made the difference? The wimp factor. Gubernatorial candidate Cuccinnelli wilted at Terry McAuliff's attacks, failing to appreciate that McAuliff's hard barks were to hide his  own vulnerabilities such as supporting partial-birth abortions all the way to the time of natural birth. McAuliff was no way the "centrist" he claimed to be nor did Cuccinelli deserve the "extremist" label that McAuliff dogged him with. But for some reason, Cuccinelli, the Republican, behaved like a whipped dog and wouldn't get into the fight. Up in New Jersey, Christie, for the most part, fought back though he didn't appeal the court's decision not to allow the garden state to ban gay marriages. He also tried to keep the focus on being able to grow jobs better than his Democrat contender.  That is an assertion Independents all over America support by a wide margin. This will be the winning claim- as it is already widely accepted- for the Republican presidential nominee in 2016. With that promise and fact, he can beat Hysterical Hillary who will be demagoguing the Republicans' "War Against Women." I mean, really what difference does it make if we find out who withheld military assistance to the beleagured men at Benghazi? Maybe she or he will do it again somewhere else.
  What's Better With The Senate? It voted for laws forbidding discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders (LGBTs) at work. The GOP in the House is expected to sink this bill though. However, the Log Cabin Republicans (LGBTs) claim at least 87 House Republicans are sympathetic to the bill. Government employment should be based upon performance not sexual preferences and identities. However, private property businesses are morally free, though not legally free, to be biased. It's their property, not the public's.
