On the wrong side

Melanie Phillips:

...

...The way in which elements in the anti-war camp are dismissing this election is beyond disgusting. They have done everything they possibly can to denigrate the heroic attempt by the Iraqis to become a free society. First they said it was ridiculous to expect the Iraqis to want to have a democracy at all; then they said the election would never happen, thus giving every encouragement to Zarquawi et al to step up the terror; now that they have been proved wrong yet again and the election is happening despite them, they are saying that it won't change anything. and undoubtedly they will seize the slightest pretext to claim that the result is illegitimate. These people will be judged by history in the same light as the appeasers of the Nazis in the 1930s, or the fellow-travellers who once extolled Stalin's Russia -- unprincipled creeps who, when called upon to defend freedom against tyranny, were on the wrong side.
She is actually talking about how the BBC is covedring teh elections. It must be the Bush Derangement Syndron which seems to sweeping across the Atlantic causing BBC reporters and "newsreaders" to lose their mind. The BBC should be reminding their viewers that every vote cast is a vote against Zarqawi and bin Laden since both have made it clear that they want no one to vote. Apparently their position coincides witht he BBC which they probably do not want to remind people about.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
