Republican Senator Grassley said, ."A government run plan will ultimately force private insurers out of business," adding that supporters of the public option were trying to open a back door toward a fully government-run, or single-payer, health system like those in Canada or England.  Good let them go out of business.  A government run plan is what he has and is what I have had since I was 18 years old and first enlisted in the Navy.  Any plan that does not have a public option will be a win fall for the insurance industry and should be defeated and so should all the so called representatives of the people that vote against it, yet keep on the public dole.   

Rep. Trent Franks, a Republican from Arizona… "Obama's first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers' money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries," said Frank. "Now, I got to tell you, if a president will do that, there's almost nothing that you should be surprised at after that. We shouldn't be shocked that he does all these other insane things. A president that has lost his way that badly, that has no ability to see the image of God in these little fellow human beings, if he can't do that right, then he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity ." Franks later tries to "explain his position this way"  Bethany Haley, spokeswoman for Franks, said the congressman was referring to "unborn humanity" and should have clarified his statement. She also said that Franks meant to say that Oba...

Riki Wanted this sent to as many as possible. • Every member of Congress, the President and Vice President and every federal employee receives health care through a taxpayer funded "public option".  Why are so many of them so intent on denying the same possibility to the rest of us?  And why are we so complacent about their hypocrisy? •  Each beneficiary of the publicly funded Federal Employees Health Program who opposes a public option should be called out and exposed for hypocrisy in denying to others what they have for themselves, and in some cases, rabble rousing to cynically confuse their constituents about the role in government in the health care system.   • No-one in the Federal Employees Health Program is denied coverage because of prior conditions or health status.  Why deny this to anyone else? • A large proportion of health care is already a public mandate for broad categories of Americans - Medicare, Medicaid, the VA...  While each system has its issues...

Which are you? More specifically which would you rather be, a Conservative or a Liberal?   Here are the definitions from Dictionary.com:   Conservative:   Disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.    Liberal:   Favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.   Using the definitions above lets examine the events of history and who might have been identified how.   How about the American Revolution.   Was it Conservatives or Liberals that boarded the tea ships and tossed the tea overboard?   Was it Conservatives or Liberals that signed the Declaration of Independence?   Not everyone was in favor of American Independence and they were called Whigs. Were they Conservative or Liberals?   Using the above definition I would call t...

According to this article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/17/new-jersey-poll-33-of-rep_n_289896.html   33% of NJ Republicans think Obama is not a citizen and 14% think he is the anti christ.  Additionally 17% of all conservatives thought Obama was Satan incarnate.  The article also indicates that NJ was actually the lowest of 5 states they surveyed.  Gee, I wonder what the other 5 states were.  This is what happens when people do not listen to facts but listen to radio talk show hosts and those with a specific agenda.    On another subject,  I am starting to think that this whole offensive aganist the Obama administration is being covertly directed by some group that has a total plan of action and is bleeding out news item for the media to pounce on day after day. For instance yesterday the big news item was Acorn, today it is the Czars.  Never mind the fact that Bush had more Czars than Obama and Acorn has offices in every major city and over 700 employees, most staffed b...

I Agree with President Carter when he says that the majority of the animosity exhibited by the opposition to Obama is driven by race. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News , World News , and News about the Economy Like Carter I was born and raised in the South. I left for many of my adult years but I am back now and except for the fact that the colored only drinking fountains and segregated eating establishments are gone, I see very little difference in the South I left and the South I now live in. Today most of the black people do not dine in the mostly white restaurants, they do not hang out in the local pubs. If they do, they will not be thrown out but they will not feel comfortable either. It's not said openly even among white people who don't know each other, but get into a group where they all are "good ole boys" and just listen. We all know it, they all know, even the media all knows it, they just won't say it. But Carter said it. By God, he is 85 year...

I'm really starting to wonder if Obama was the right choice.  In the beginning I was for Clinton.  I thought she was tough, she had been there and knew how to play the game with the Republicans.  Get tough and kick ass when you need to. I also did not think that America was ready for a Black President and I made that known as one of the reasons I was for Clinton.  Well as time went on and Obama inched closer to winning the nomination I started to change my mind.  I saw a toughness about him that I had not seen before.  After all if he could beat Clinton then he must have a little spunk.  I also started to change my mind about the blackness.  Maybe the country was ready, and I just didn't see it.  So by the time he won the nomination he had my full and devoted support.  Unlike other avid Clinton supporters, I switched completely and became a wholehearted Obama fan. Early on I was happy when he got tough with the pirates, although he did seem to have a tendendancy to throw a c...
