Read the story on: www.newsmax.com

Secret deals and more. So many broken promises; was Obama lying to win the presidency? Wouldn’t be the first time.

    It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people (honestly where can they go with a pre-condition). And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait, Medicare and Medicaid and our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown and Katrina but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.

    How does shouting down to stop the conversation of the healthcare debate at town hall meetings, endears them to anyone. Especially when the organizations that are telling them where to go and what to do and say are Republicans political operatives, not real grassroots. How does shouting someone down or chasing them out like a “lynch mob” advanced the debate, it does not. So I think the American people will see through all of this and know, like the teabagger, the birthers, these lynch mobs types AKA “screamers” are just the same, people who have to resort to these tactics because they have no leadership to articulate what they real want. It’s easy to pickup a bus load of people who hate, and that’s all I been seeing, they hate and can’t debate. Too bad.

      Paul,
      First of all, READ THE BILL yourself, and then have an independent opinion. Even a college guy like yourself should understand it. It is not that complicated, but it does take effort.
      The current debate is not about Republicans vs Democrats (maybe you didn’t noticed, but the vocal opponents ARE Democrats as well), it is about saving freedoms, which are assaulted by H.R. 3200. Obviously, these people (unlike you) have read it, and are angry. They are angry, but not violent – significant difference.
      Unlike rabbit leftist like yourself, these people face their congressmen with facts, and they’re met with lies, with arrogance, with disdain for their rights to speak. This DOES make them angry. Tell me, how come Obama’s infomercial in New Hampshire was not interrupted by anybody? How come EVERYBODY in the audience was applauding, smiling … like in the III Reich era documentary?

      You have no arguments, you just keep repeating talking points.
      You CAN change an insurance company if it is lousy, and you don’t like it. I have done it more than once.
      Go to townhall.com and read the latest commentary from Chuck Norris on a little jewel which the proposed statist health care bill wants to impose on parents of America. It SHOULD scare you.
