Republicans looking for a presidential candidate in 2012 should consider Congressman Tom Price (R-Georgia). Dr. Price is an orthopedic surgeon and fierce opponent of Obamacare. He actually knows something about medicine, having practiced it for more than 25 years. Check out his tape explaining his opposition to socialized medicine, about four or five minutes long on the Internet. Just type “Tom Price tape.”
“Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.”

The Warriors wasted no time showing why they are ranked in the top five AA teams in the state as they took the opening kickoff from the Indians and raced 88 yards for a touchdown to take a 6-0 lead after the extra-point kick was no good. [Full Story »]
