Why is not having a Surgeon General a problem specifically?
It makes orginising an effective response more difficult.

Perhaps, and long term the republicans need to get their priorities straight. However, short term they win this election.
Why specifically?
Is the HHS incapable of handling it? The Surgeon General is under them.
Is the staff of the Surgeon General department incapable of doing their jobs?
Is this a 1-person job only?
The surgeon general serves as a source leadership postion in charge of coordinating a response to health crisis's.
Would you deprive a ship of its cheif engineer?
So if a ship's Chief Engineer was taken away, the ship would just stop dead in the water, yes, and nobody would be able to do anything. No crew member, nothing. Unless you have that official Chief Engineer, everything stops. Is that about right?
If a pilot became sick during a commercial flight, I guess the plane would plummet from the skies too.
The last Surgeon General did a lot in her time in office. Too bad most of it was centered around breastfeeding, which we all know is a national crisis.
I don't think you know what the role of a surgeon general is.
I know exactly what it is.
Is the Surgeons General's office under HHS? Yes it is. Is there a staff there? Yes there is. Do they have an interim SG? Yes they do. Did the last Surgeon General spend a ridiculous amount of time focusing on breastfeeding? Yes she did.
Try again. And please tell me how organizing a response to the Ebola issue is a 1-person job.
Maybe the surgeon General can help take so pressure off the head of CDC.
So it isn't a 1-person job then, is it?
Would it hurt to have a surgeon general right now?
Partisan gridlock? All he needs to be confirmed is a simple majority in the Senate, and the Dems have the numbers.Are you sure about that?
We can't even get simple appointees in position because of partisan gridlock. Do you think not having a surgeon general is good for the country?

Like I said .... nothing. S*** still will not get done.
I'm not McConnell's biggest fan, but it would be a refreshing change of pace to have a Majority Leader who is more focused to passing legislation than calling the Koch Brothers "un-American" or what name a certain football team has.

Yes, Republicans may win some battles but Democrats have already won the war. Americans are hooked on big government like a junkie on heroin.
the days of small government are over. Every election is just going to be which party promises more of it, which will always favor Democrats.
" Vote for me and I'll give you more free gmmit sh#T" is a very effective campaign.

And we do have a Surgeon General, btw -- an "acting" SG. The position is not vacant, and he's as much up to the task as the guy who's been nominated.

Barack Obama and his political party are heading into the midterm elections in trouble. The president’s 40 percent job approval rating in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll is the lowest of his career – and the Democratic Party’s popularity is its weakest in polling back 30 years, with more than half of Americans seeing the party unfavorably for the first time.
Trouble Looms for Obama, Democrats with Election Day 2014 Approaching - ABC News
The world is on fire, the Democrat parties policies have demonstrably failed. November 4th is less that 3 weeks away-the dems will lose seats in both the senate and house. The Republicans will gain the senate.
Here is the difference between the two parties
Democrat = Domestic welfare
Republican = Foreign and Corporate welfare
At the end of the day, both parties believe in big government when it involves crap they like.
BO has mishandled Ebola, the stock markets crashing, our economy is still sputtering and ISIS is taking over Iraq as we speak. This will be the biggest rep sweep in history.
....and the news is???? and the significance is?????
Already discussed. Nobody is here to spoonfeed you.

Yep, one is tax & spend and the other tax cut & spend.
