    Sorry IJ, the liberal socialst do not stand a chance for victory in November. They will be lucky if they still have a majority after November. There is no political future in doing the oposite of what the public wants them to do!

    I just can not believe you wrote the following.

    ELECTION VICTORY AT STAKE

    If Democrats can enact reform into law, they would score an important victory going into November’s elections.

    AFTER THE HEALTHCARE FIASCO, THEY ARE DESTINED TO GO HOME LOSERS!

    I agree totally, wonder when the IJ might publish something from the American Thinker or the Heritage Foundation?

    As long as the three separate industries that are the target of this reform are allowed to dabble into the other lines of commerce, no amount of reform can be successful. Insurance is insurance
    /banking is banking/stock market is stock market. If you want reform, regulate the Federal Reserve and separate these other industries from the venture capital market they are in.

    Actually, if you want reform, stop leftists in congress from forcing banks to make bad loans to unworthy borrowers. It’s a pretty simple fix. Of course, doing so would require congressional leftists to first admit they were at fault.

    Keep dreamin’. The Republicans do not have a way to win back the Independents they lost in ’06 and ’08. Sure, they’ll get some anti-incumbant votes, but for many people (myself included) the jury is still out on the health care bill that was passed. Especially since those of us who have health coverage through our employers on a 1/1 – 12/31 cycle probably won’t know what our 2011 rate increases will be until several weeks after the election.

    Please, please, please tell me you’re kidding. How do you think banks and insurance companies make their money? From investments in the stock market! They will never be three separate entities. Other than the typical liberal-bashing that can be expected in response to ANY article posted on this, can someone PLEASE tell me what the downside of this bill is?

    PS Mike N – blaming the issuance of loans for the unworthy on liberals is childish and narrow-minded. Both sides have more than their fair share of blame for the economic mess we’re in.
