Senator Duncan on Robert Pratt’s Show
Okay, wow. Now I’ve heard everything.
State Senator Robert Duncan just smacked down Robert Pratt when talking about CHIP on today’s show. He made the excellent point that managing CHIP well — in other words, helping as many kids have health insurance as possible — brings federal money to the state that alleviates the financial burden on local and regional health care providers. The federal government provides 73% federal matching funds for CHIP. That federal matching money means that local hospitals — who would have to provide the care anyway — will have the care paid for. Cheaper local government services, a reduction in taxes paid by local taxpayers… conservatives should be hand-in-hand (not in a gay way, Robert) with progressives on CHIP.
Duncan also spoke about the need for a unified Republican Party going into the 2008 elections. It’s good advice, but good luck with getting anyone to listen…

What Robert Duncan means by a “unified” party is the old style ballot where NO INCUMBENT has a primary opponent and his opposition in general election have no money to buy ads with. Robert Duncan is actually a lawyer that goes to Austin every 2 years to scheme up more “off the wall” laws so he can get more clients. Duncan was also discovered voting “Yea” on every tax bill that passed thus becoming a charter member of the “Big Government” republican club that has Carl Isett AND Delwin Jones as members also.
