EXCERPTS: House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers Delivers the Republican Address to the Nation
So tonight Id like to share a more hopeful, Republican vision one that empowers you, not the government. Its one that champions free markets and trusts people to make their own decisions, not a government that decides for you. It helps working families rise above the limits of poverty and protects our most vulnerable. And its one where Washington plays by the same rules that you do. Its a vision that is fair and offers the promise of a better future for every American.
...
Because our mission not only as Republicans, but as Americans, is to once again to ensure that we are not bound by where we come from, but empowered by what we can become. That is the gap Republicans are working to close. Its the gap we all face: between where you are and where you want to be.
...
Last month, more Americans stopped looking for a job than found one. Too many people are falling further and further behind because, right now, the Presidents policies are making peoples lives harder. Republicans have plans to close the gap
Plans that focus on jobs first without more spending, government bailouts, and red tape
Every day, were working to expand our economy, one manufacturing job, nursing degree and small business at a time. We have plans to improve our education and training systems so you have the choice to determine where your kids go to school
to help you take home more of your paycheck...with lower taxes, cheaper energy costs, and affordable health care.
...
Weve all talked to too many people who have received cancellation notices they didnt expect or who can no longer see the doctors they always have. No, we shouldnt go back to the way things were, but the Presidents health care law is not working. Republicans believe health care choices should be yours, not the governments. And that whether youre a boy with Down syndrome or a woman with breast cancer, you can find coverage and a doctor who will treat you.
...
As Republicans, we advance these plans every day because we believe in a government that trusts people and doesnt limit where you finish because of where you started. That is what we stand for for an America that is every bit as compassionate as it is exceptional
Our plan is one that dreams big for everyone and turns its back on no one.

(9,462 posts)forced ultrasound, forced lecture, forcing Doctors to make statements that are inaccurate, is government allowing the individual to make decisions?
I could go on, in fact a very nice rant is forming in my mind about free markets and the protectionist measures the Republican party has pushed for business, but I'd be preaching to the choir.
