health care

I continue to marvel at how the Obama team is completely out of touch with reality.  No…hear me out…

For 364 days (more if count the time between election and swearing in of Scott Brown), Barry and his posse had a super majority.  They controlled the House, Senate, and White House.  The key is the Senate, with a filibuster-proof 60 vote majority.  In simple terms, the Dems could do what ever the hell they wanted – NO Republicans need apply.  But, the trio of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid went on whining about Republican obstructionism.

I’m sorry….what?  (By the way, if you try to use obstruction in an argument, you have no credibility and I will ignore you)  But, this is not the point…

Now Doctor Zero wants to be nice and play ball.

Republicans sent letter after letter, bill after bill, to the President.  All were ignored, and Barry lied when he said, “they just want to say no, they have no ideas.”  The people screamed at them in town halls…and they did not listen.  In fact, the Dems called them names and blew them off as “kooks” or “extremists.”  Poll after poll showed the approval of heath care legislation plunge to levels only seen by W.  Barry blew off the elections in New Jersey and Virgina, denying to themselves that the people do not want what the Dems are selling.  Along comes Scott Brown, in the bluest of blue states…a Republican in the Lion’s chair.

….and now Barry wants to be nice?  Its seems like an abusive spouse coming back to profess his love for the one he abuses.  But, unless you play by Barry’s rules, he will try to slap you around again.

I’m happy to see the GOP digging in their heels.  They know that Barry is trying to set them up… “See, I stuck out a hand and they ignored me.  It’s not my fault.”  Don’t give in…the American people are too smart.  Republicans know that the game is afoot.

Republicans are not the problem….Democrats are.  The socialist policies of Pelosi, Reid and Obama scare the hell out some of those Dems as well.  But, in true Barrack Obama form, he wants to point the finger elsewhere.

What entertains me (or offends me, I can’t decide) is the way Doctor Zero thinks he’s got the upper hand here.  He wants to play hard ball when he doesn’t have the leverage.  He wants to play hard ball when after a full year of a super majority, he couldn’t get his agenda through.  Now, Barry NEEDS Republicans and he’s trying to change his image to Mr. Nice Guy.

Sorry Barry….go sit down.

I sent the following to Senators Bennet (Socialist-CO) and Udall (Socialist-CO) this morning.

Senator,

Your vote this morning is a confirmation of your ineptitude and inability to understand the principles of America and the US Constitution.

Your vote this morning condones and ecourages the theft of taxpayer dollars for bribes and payoffs.

Your vote this morning supports politics and power in lieu of the interest of the citizens of this country.

Your vote this morning is prima facie evidence that you have not read the bill, you do not comprehend its consequences, and do not understand the outcome.

You are raising taxes on Americans who are hurting and on the very people who actually create jobs.

You are jeopardizing the quality health care of seniors by creating the means to ration care.

You have committed 1/6th of a capitalist economy to a bloated, bureaucratic government incapable of efficiency and self-accountability.

You have created yet another entitlement hand out that will bankrupt this country so your party leader can add a political notch to his bedpost.

You have approved of faulty accounting tricks to cover up the true cost of this legislation for which private businesses and citizens would be jailed.

You have done this in spite of your constituency overwhelmingly in opposition to the legislation.

Senator, you will answer to voters.  Your term will end…but then, you don’t care, you’ve gotten your golden parachute for life.  Why is this bill good enough for us but not good enough for you?

Senator, you are simple-minded, irresponsible, socialist coward who lacks the fortitude to stand on the principles of individual freedoms.

Good luck on what’s left of your career in politics.

With great disdain…
An independent Colorado voter

24 million uninsured…

November 26, 2009

I came across this little tidbit of information this morning and I’m a little dumbfounded. The Bill that will now face a “debate” on the Senate floor – affectionately known as ReidCare – is full of taxes and tricks.  Fine…that’s what every partisan bill contains, how to help “our side.” The Congressional Budget Office scored [...]

i have asked for my senators’ resignation…

November 21, 2009

Because my oh so intelligent and caring Senators Udall and Bennett voted to bring the health care bill to the floor… I have asked for their resignation. Senator, Your support of the health care travesty that will lead to this country’s undoing is offensive and should be considered gross misconduct.  Your actions are a slap [...]

health care for all*

November 8, 2009

* – “all” typically means everything, everyone, no one left out, 100%. Except, when you’re a Democrat, the term “all” means almost everything or everyone.  The political equivalent of horseshoes and hand grenades.  To quote Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) from his speech last night in the health care “debate” “It provides coverage for 96 percent [...]

Reagan was wise…

August 28, 2009

I was listening to Glen Beck this morning and was absolutely blown away by this mix. The audio is of a Reagan speech back in the 60′s from what I understand.  The text is amazing and can be read on Glen Beck’s website. You could date that speech August 28, 2009 and it fits perfectly [...]

efficient healthcare…

July 23, 2009

Whenever a government official, or worse a politician, says to you, “this will pay for itself with savings from being more efficient…” Do one of two things:  Run like hell or punch him in the nose. Does Barack Obama actually believe his own words?  Does he seriously believe that a government program of social entitlement [...]
