It is far right to prevent them in cases of medical necessity. It is far right to claim the legislative or executive branches of gov't can determine that there is never a medical necessity. Anti-abortion = Far Right.

A far right president would not have grossly expanded the prescription drug plan.

A prescription drug plan that is grossly expanded to benefit the drug companies. Throw money at Big Pharm = Right.

A far right president would not have grossly expanded spending on education.

Spending on education which doesn't reach the levels required, resulting in a failed plan but a good talking point. Double-speak your "compassion" = Right.

Privatizing 2% of social security is NOT far right, its a baby step to save a system that IS GOING TO COLLASPE if things are not changed.
|
Social Security is not going to collapse for atleast 60 years, but who knows for sure, considering every couple of years the "imminent" collapse date is pushed another 5 or 6 years away. Privatize for no reason = Right.

Reforming the tax code is not a far right idea, again its common sense. It shouldn't require an accountant to figure out what you really owe in taxes. Also the real rich like Kerry will end up paying MORE as the loopholes go bye bye.
|
Do you honestly believe "reforming" the tax code is going to make accountants unnecessary? "Reforming" the tax code is obviously nothing more than a "lower the taxes for the wealthy" code. Cut taxes for the wealthy = Right.

Tort reform is not far right, like it or not the Dems are so deep into the trial lawyers pockets that they will never address this. This has been an issue for the last two decades. Lawsuits consume (not including pay offs to plaintiffs) 2.5% of our GDP. That’s double any other western republic. Its time to fix it.

Tort reform is anathema to democracy. Tort cases are the last line of defense against Big Business for the people. The government was supposed to be the defense against Big Business, but since the government is in the pockets of Big Business, tort is the only thing left. Protect big business = Right.
Bush = Solidly right, throw in the moral values factor and he's far gone.
