Democratic Convention.
From coverage when people care about free markets and free people think about what.
They've heard well we've got our all star panel back mark mettler founded the biggest Tea Party group.
Heavily -- from the independent women's forum nick Gillespie from reason TP.
So first point as we heard Kennedy talked to these democratic delegates about being pro shorts.
-- Why is pro choice just about abortion -- -- other choices in life so straight ahead -- women care about is.
That's all I care about I can't look up for a second and see that our economy is crumbling Aaron unemployment rates been about 8% for forty something month but analysts that the choice for the moment I had.
They selectively used the word as Kennedy said.
But we also heard a lot of euphemisms for women's right to decide their own health care choices.
Right that.
Right to decide that -- waste.
They obviously just mean abortion.
Because any other health care choice I'm gonna make is going to be dictated to me.
Through the government the government's taking over health care system Obama -- a huge threat to our individual decisions and health care.
In the list of other choices tonight got stole this from David -- of the Cato Institute opened my mind to it.
Choice for owning a gun -- -- -- dams hiring an unpaid intern which we rely on here no one's gonna be illegal says the Labor Department.
Minimal way they pay people what you choose to pay them.
Where you could investors Social Security funds what -- do you get to eat if you want to take a recreational drug.
When do you that a woman's right to send her kid to a different school they oppose all that.
Right and some of those choices would.
Specifically benefit women more for example owning a gun.
Is it is a great thing for a woman to do when she's and it situation to defend herself these choices every important to women just like they are men and I'm I'm disappointed to see.
The Democratic Party.
Always so negative about choices they say okay choices for me but not for you know whatever you want.
-- abortion on my understanding is that women are about.
5050 split on the legality like the rest of the population -- I'm very confused com.
As Sandra -- alright John than just agree with the woman in my in the conversation and it'll be all right.
They'll be okay our lives drop at that and move on -- able to take your advice that.
Another thing the platform is so impressed with.
President Obama's created these new government agencies to help us under the Obama care for one there's going to be the coordinated health care office are.
Health care will be coordinated the center for innovation the primary care extension program the patient centered outcomes institute.
Thirty new agencies isn't this wonderful.
I think all of them are going to be did -- you know kind of fun coordinated by the bureau of WTO off.
We have just so happy -- -- I gotta figure.
We're it's you know it's it's pretty clear though like in an ancient cave thing came up with commissions of bureaucracies.
Somewhat not.
To just get away from actually have -- -- What's really going on is Democrats have to find other things and the health lot to talk about at this point.
Because people heard about individual mandate they've heard about the independent payment advisory board they've heard about the state white exchanges.
They've heard about a lot of things and a lot it's still so unpopular that they're trying to drag something out well we have a center for innovation but that's all the sudden gonna change people's minds.
I'm waiting for either party for anybody any politician tell me what agency are they getting rid of that's what I'm -- it's all.
-- -- dozens every administration more they.
And then they won't run for office saying how many get rid of even the Education Department Ronald Reagan used -- talking like getting rid of that Romney doesn't anymore you know and as -- travel around the country -- people want to get rid of these agencies -- on both sides of the -- they -- -- -- Tea Party -- not just -- pretty good sized at least half my -- speaking to progressive -- there is broad agreement that government is too big that's among the regular people -- -- absolutely but the -- on both -- the leadership want government -- Republicans want bigger government Democrats want bigger government what they're fighting over is who controls the bigger -- Speaking of bigger government President Obama tonight -- you have a choice we can costs education.
Or we -- out educate any country on earth.
Announcement I'm gonna go with the second one -- -- for the two choices and it's you know.
It's tough five million and you know there's good points from both sides regarding this I think there's a good he forgot these are the with the types of false choices that politicians are always trying to unfortunately yes no -- key in his them.
It's it's just BS all the way down what Obama has been doing -- why it's BS and all guiding is not on the table they have.
Tripled spending to no effect to help end of George I George W.
Bush with the No Child Left Behind -- massively increase federal involvement in education.
Obama's can no benefit the the great movement in you know the past fifty years has -- -- decentralization.
Of power and decision making to the individuals.
Who were most invested in the outcome.
What we see with Obama and education saying no we're gonna pile more stuff on the top.
And make a steeper pyramid instead of saying you know what we've tried giving money more money to education.
Let's just give it to them to the parents and let them decide where the kids can let the parent choose the school the sales would -- what an idea.
And actually guiding is on the table it should be a choice we should got the education bureaucracy we should get rid of the Department of Education should try to.
-- got the bureaucracy -- just a gut education.
-- -- -- Shouldn't be involved anyway it's a local responsibility.
Another bad one and then finally the longest war will be over said the president we're ending the wars and yet.
In Iraq -- -- what we've taken all the soldiers out they say but we got 161000.
People on an embassy.
In Afghanistan -- still 68000.
Troops for a guy who campaigned on ending the war.
Well Linda you know -- he said we're gonna be -- in 2014.
Woolsey if that happens Joseph were out of Iraq where we've left on withdrawal plan that was.
You have produced under George W.
Bush and Leon Panetta -- Defense Secretary was begging the Iraqis to -- American troops stay there.
Through you know pass the December 2011 to -- This president has not earned his Nobel Peace Prize that's for sure he's a warrior.
