What gives you the right to infer that you're more patriotic than I am???
My child might not have "wanted" to eat her vegetables... but she "needed" to for her own sake. American's didn't even "want" Medicare, but, wow, don't you love getting that check every month now!
This country desperately "needs" health care reform. Whether you want to face it or not. It's a fact. Plain and simple. And if the Republicans just want to stop it in it's tracks, yet again, for their own selfish reasons... shame on them.
If you want my opinion on the election in Massachusetts, quit frankly, I wouldn't have voted for Coakley either! From the little I followed her, she didn't impress me. See, I vote for the person and not the party. Whether you want to believe that or not! But, I will agree with KathieI, that Scott Brown looks mighty fine on paper!!!! 
That said, we will see how President Obama handles this. Scott Brown is not the second coming either, as some of you referred to Obama as. And, pssttttt, they don't need 60 for a majority out of 100. I believe that number would be 51!
My fear is that some of you would vote in any Republican, good or bad, just to feel more in control or make a statement. That, in my opinion, is a wasted vote indeed. But, we shall see... we shall see... |
First of all, I do know you. By your words and ideas. You are a nanny state progressive.
I do not and never have questioned your patriotism. I am sure you are a patriot, just dangerously misguided.
You make my point with your own words. We are not children and government is not our parent.
I have been forced to pay into the government Social Security system with the agreement that they would pay me back if I live long enough. Are you saying that we who receiving what was promised are somehow, bad or just conservatives?
Yes, we do need reform of our health care system. We need to fix the problems like tort reform and unfair practices. We do not need to turn over 1/6 of the economy to the government. A government that is not noted for running things very well.
What are the selfish reasons for the republicans stopping Obamacare? To save the republic?

PS I see Obama is now going after the banks. He wants them to loan money to small business. He is going to punish the banks for risky business practices. Is there anything more risky than small business.
The stock market is not happy. Are you?
