Currently the state senator in the 10th District, Beth is trying to win the nomination to replace Mark Kirk as he runs for senate.<br /><br />Now, Beth loves unions...SEIU is one of her biggest supporters...but she also is a huge fan of government run health care.<br /><br />In fact, back in 2004, she voted PRESENT on HB 2268 - aka, the <strong>Health Care Justice Act.</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><a href="http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=2268&amp;GAID=3&amp;DocTypeID=HB&amp;LegID=3499&amp;SessionID=3&amp;GA=93">http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=2268&amp;GAID=3&amp;DocTypeID=HB&amp;LegID=3499&amp;SessionID=3&amp;GA=93</a><br /><strong></strong><br />Among other things, the Bill provided, "that the State of Illinois shall implement a health care plan that provides access to a full range of preventive, acute, and long-term health services."<br /><br />Oh, and it also would have cost the taxpayers of Illinois anywhere from $2.6 - $4 billion (with a B) a year...but who's counting?<br /><br />But that's not all!<br /><br />Funny little coincidence...turns out, <strong>this was the same Bill pushed by then IL. State Senator, Barack Obama.</strong><br /><br /><p>So what, you ask?</p><p>Well, just ask yourself this: If Beth Coulson didn't oppose Barack Obama's health care plans then, why would she oppose them now?</p><p>Is it really worth taking that risk next November?</p><p>A real conservative would fight to stop the government takeover of health care, not vote "PRESENT."</p><p>Beth "Scozzafava" Coulson...Congrats on being the inaugural subject of the <strong>RINO REPORT.</strong></p><br /><br /><p><strong></p></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4447943083203388956-601774979971637797?l=therinoreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dutchnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447943083203388956.post-55966441670724664672009-12-17T10:17:00.000-08:002009-12-17T10:26:40.388-08:00Feel free to use this blog as a resource for deciding who best exemplifies the conservative principles of: lower taxes, smaller government, smarter spending, and a strong military.<br /><br />Common sense is the mantra here. <br /><br />There are a lot of so-called Republicans who have more in common with Noam Chomsky than they do with the principles of limited government. <br /><br />The RINO Report will serve as a barometer - and yes, a BS detector - when it comes to the claims of some wannabe candidates.<br /><br />Make no mistake - there is no litmus test...there is no need to "purge" the impure...Leave that to the fanatics. This is just a common sense guide to calling out people who claim to hold conservative principles, all the while acting and governing in a way that would make Ronald Reagan's head spin.<br /><br />The ultimate goal, for all true conservatives/Republicans, should be to help get quality people elected to Congress next Fall. <br /><br />We need to put a stop to the out-of-control spending and government intrusion in our lives. <br /><br />We can only do that with real conservatives...Not RINO'S....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4447943083203388956-5596644167072466467?l=therinoreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dutchnoreply@blogger.com0
