So I watched the entire so-called health-care summit yesterday. It was laid out and designed to embarrass and put down Republicans. But the Republicans surprised me they came well prepared they were, courteous and got their points across. and Obama turned out looking like a complete fool.  
When one of the Republicans was talking the Democrats sat there looking down or staring off into space. They refused to look at the person who was talking.
Obama true to his Marxist upbringing interrupted or cut off every Republican that was speaking he would then blather on for 15 minutes about whatever usually not answering any issues the Republicans raised and then call on a Democrat to talk. He accused Republicans of using props, bringing props to the summit. The props he was referring to was the 2700 page health-care bill of his.
I was really hoping to see one of the Republicans pick up that bill throw it in the nearest trash can and then all of the Republicans get up say this is useless and walk out of the room. But that is just me, I guess that would not be good politics. I cannot see anything good coming out of this summit, I take that back the Republicans showed that they have the balls a couple of them showed that they have big brass balls and I give them a plus on that regard.
We will see where it goes from here. Will the Democrats decide to commit political suicide and push this thing through with out the help of any Republicans? I doubt that Pelosi has the votes in the House and they have to pass the Senate bill in the House before it can go any further. Pelosi, Reid and Obama are just crazy enough tone deaf enough to try that. They seem to have no clue as to what the American people really want they seem to be of the mindset that this is what you need were going to do it for your own good no matter what you say. Well, I say Screw You. I think an overwhelming number of people are going to say the same thing in November at the polls, at least I hope so.

Keep Your Powder Dry!!

I have a great deal of fear of what is going to happen next in our country. With Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats cramming this monstrosity down our throats. It almost seems like the Senate Republicans are caving in and allowing them to pass the subsequent votes needed to get it passed and sent to the House for Conference.  Our only hope is that the 2010 elections give the Republicans a super majority in both the House of Representatives and Senate. If they can get a veto proof majority in both houses they can overturn this monstrosity and get things back where they belong, I like my health insurance, and I don’t want anybody screwing with it. Below are just a few of the monstrous things in this bill. 2012, cannot get here soon enough for me, our only hope is that someone like Sarah Palin could be elected in 2012. If she decides to run. I am pretty confident that she can win.

  • Medicare is slashed by $470 billion, including cuts to Medicare home health care services. These are cuts the Congressional Budget Office says will "reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care” for seniors
  • Medicare Advantage is cut $120 billion for seniors
  • Raises taxes by $518 billion, including new taxes on the middle class, new taxes on wheelchairs, pacemakers, heart valves, and other medical devices, and new taxes on individuals and employers who do not retain the type of health care plans that Washington dictates
  • Senate Democrats’ bill creates an Independent Medicare Advisory Board (IMAB) of non-elected government bureaucrats, empowered to cut Medicare providers limited access to care for seniors
  • The bill forces a huge unfunded federal mandate on states to expand Medicaid, with the exception of those states where Democrat senators cut “sweetheart deals” with Obama and Reid for their vote

 

 

The end is drawing near

I honestly and foolishly thought that it would take him at least. His first term, or only term to destroy this country. Now he’s on the doorstep of destroying the country in one year, one vote away from destroying the healthcare of the United States. The people in the House of Representatives and the Senate who voted for this piece of crap can not be punished enough. I honestly don’t know if this thing could be overturned. Once past and put into law, because we all know the President Zero will sign it. He is absolutely desperate to get anything passed, no matter what kind of piece of crap that is.
I don’t know who wrote this I found it on Newsbusters in light of things it seems quite appropriate. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, enjoy it while we still have the freedom to do so.

Congress’ Night Before Christmas

"Twas the week before Christmas    and  those sly little elves,
Our congressmen, labored to better themselves.
They cared not a whit what the public might think
"Let them eat cake," some said with a wink.

And putting their thumbs to the tip of their nose,
they waved as they shouted "Anything goes!"

They scoffed at the thought that we might object,
to a tax cut for the wealthy of a posh percent.
They’ve got prerequisites-franking, per diem, and more —
bargain-priced haircuts and gyms (three or four!)

Paid speaking engagements and meals on the cuff,
celebrity status — (they’ve sure got it tough!),

Yet they claim they’re in touch with the man on the street,
as John Q. Public struggles to make both ends meet.
If all workers decided what they were due,
they’d be getting those fat paychecks too!

But while we take cutbacks or raises quite small,
and one out of 20 has no job at all,
our millionaire Congress decides on the budget
land trimming Medicare and Medicaid will do it, they say.

In this season for giving, our Congress is taking.
We’ve had it with them and our backs are breaking.
With hard times, disasters, and layoffs on our dockets,
we bit the bullet and they fill their pockets!

Oh jobless, oh homeless, oh desperate and needy –
dare anyone say our Congress is greedy?

If in this feeling I’m not alone,
take up your pen or pick up your phone.
As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
let the road of your anger mount to the sky.

Indignant, outraged, appalled and beset
let your congressman know that you won’t forget!
When election times comes — and certain it will —
you’re voting him out for passing that bill.

More rapid than eagles, their elections assured
they toasted each other and laughed at the herd.
And I heard them exclaim with adjournment at hand,

"Merry Christmas to us, and the public be damned!
