THIS IS HOW YOU WIN ELECTIONS?

Yeah, I'll vote for the candidate wielding firearms and combat gear to show how much he'll 'fight' to repeal 'Obamacare.' Let your freedom flag fly, I guess. With all the looney bins out there, is this the right way to effectively position yourself politically? On the right, common sense has a way of looking pretty uncommon. **update: I have much respect for the armed forces that protect our freedom. I just think it can be conveyed more tactfully a la John McCain.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SETS THE TEABAGGERS STRAIGHT

National Geographic has conducted an interesting study: Comparing the cost of health care around the world to each country's respective life expectancy. We already know the United States has the most expensive health care, but what's worse than overpaying for health care, living in a country that's in the bottom half in regards to life expectancy. Put that in your Tea Bagging pipe and smoke it.
