Sign me up folks, if being against the health care jam-job the Democrats tried and are trying to pull makes me un-American, SIGN ME UP.
These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.
You know, she has a point, but I have two questions (ok, technically it’s three) for Ms. Pelosi and her followers:
1. Where were you in the Bush years? Why didn’t any of these actions illicit a response from you?
2. Why were and are you in such a hurry?
Best I can tell many citizens are agitated because the whole health care bill is a “jam-job” based on a crisis mentality. Not to mention that John Conyers, and I assume many many others, can’t be troubled to read the bill.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Does there need to be health care reform. No doubt. The blind hatred of the insurance companies expressed by the Democratic leadership is not a good way to address the issue.
I believe this bill needs to be stopped and the Democrats should eat a little, oh hell a lot would suit me fine, “humble pie” and come back and try again. There is a solution and perhaps the Democrats are on the right track, although I seriously doubt it, but acting like you don’t need to listen to 50% of the brainwashed constituents is not the way bring around lasting health care reform.
Also, after our budgetary experience with Social Security and Medicare, not to mention the experiences of other industrialized countries, how anyone believe Obamacare won’t blow the budget to total destruction boggles my mind. To believe that, it seems you must believe that all the government has to do is “print money” and everything will work out fine.
