The Death of Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum: Libertarian Party will have to now admit, they’ve been wrong all these years
All 178 Republican House Members vote No on Health Care bill
by Eric Dondero
There was at least one silver-lining in last night's proceedings. The clear authoritarianism of the Democrat Party on so many levels, was on full display for all to see.
No longer will our friends in the Libertarian Party be able to say that the Republican Party is "just like the Democrats." Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum has been their mantra for decades.
Turns out there really is a dime's worth of difference between the major parties.
All 178 Republican House members voted against the Marxist takeover of America's Health Care system yesterday. Not a single dissenting vote. Not one.
From the Associated Press (via Breitbart) late last night:
Not a single Republican is expected to vote for the bill, a priority of President Barack Obama.
The number of Republican House members who voted "Nay" included every single "moderate" Republican, such as most notably, Rep. Joseph Anh Cao of Louisiana, who had voted with the Democrats originally back in the Spring. But also deserving of great praise include GOP centrists Rep. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware, Rep. Mary Bono of California, Rep. Ken Calvert of California, Rep. Candice Miller of Michigan, Rep. Dave Reichart of Washington State, Rep. Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey, among many others. A number of these individuals often garner enormous scorn in their districts from Libertarian puritanical hardliners. Kirk and Castle who notably are both now running for US Senate, have been particularly hammered as "too squishy" and "too willing to compromise."
(List of Moderate Republicans at Republican Main Street Partnership)
So, you can take some of the most "squishiest" Centrist Republicans, and they're still better than 95% of all Democrats (the 38 Democrats who still voted No, like Reps Gene Taylor of Mississippi, and Walt Minnick of Idaho for example, could still be considered decent).
One thing's now crystal clear: Henceforth, the Libertarian Party cry of Tweedle-dee, Tweedle-dum will forever be nothing more than a hollow refrain.

Title:
Implausible Health Claims and Human Studies Ethics: A Collision Course
Description:
A broad international consensus regarding protections for subjects in human trials emerged during the 2nd half of the 20th century. It can be summarized in several tenets, most of which pertain explicitly or implicitly to scientific considerations. Recent projects involving human trials of implausible health claims (”CAM”) have been at odds with some of those tenets. I’ll discuss one trial in detail and mention a few others. I will argue that all such trials are likely to be unethical.
