Hoyer wants to call last night's vote on Health care reform bipartisan.  Well,  here is the story of the one Republican who voted for it and the thirty-nine Democrats who voted against it.  If this is partisan vote,  it would seem that the Republicans who voted against the bill had more of a bipartisan showing than Hoyer would like to admit.  After all the Republicans were able to get thirty-eight more votes to agree with their point of view.   As a matter of fact to win the vote by only five tells Americans one thing:  the leadership in Congress is ignorant and arrogant.  Two characteristics that spell disaster for our country. 

To condense the 2,000 pages of legalize double-talk into terms that middle America can understand it only takes two words: More TAXES.  What the brilliant, using the term loosely here,  architects of this legislation refuse to understand is that Americans are not that easy to fool.     The Democrats refuse to tell the truth about what the bill actually details.  At one point Americans were promised that they can keep current insurance if you like it.  Now,  it's a definite move to making sure everyone get's onto the government's plan.  It will cut costs but yet we will cover more people.  In what universe does this math add up?  The leadership can never answer the question of where the money will come from to support this program.  They can't speak the truth because they know that no one wants to hear that they will ahve to pay more taxes.  Not to worry,  the government will be able to cut costs by deciding who will be eligible for treatments.   The old and the terminally ill will not have a voice.  They will be silenced.  Which will  result in a different, more horrifying  holocaust than Hitler's murderous plans.    For those who are dealing with elderly parents or handicapped children this is a nightmare.  

The Republican and Democrat leaders are being handed a heavy lesson these days from their constituents.  It has been awhile since there  has been a loud outcry from the public against the government.  Sure every once in a while there would be stories of protest but most Americans sat in their living rooms, turned on Dan Rather and watched what was going on in the world.  The news of the day was just that,  news.  As long as the economy was going along at a steady pace,  people had jobs and children were going to school to learn the basics of english, math and science,  all was well.  However,  things have changed drastically these days.  The news of  the day now hits home harder than before and people are beginning to wake up. It's quite a rude awakening, too. 

It is about time that someone begins calling out the liberals on their hypocrisy.  It is a waste of Congress' time to be voting on a resolution to censure Rep Joe Wilson.  It is a surprise that they would even consider doing this since they are on the road of destroying America.   This must be their "recess" where they get to have  a little sport to break up the boring day to day grind of restructuring the government,  banks,  corporations and health care.  Boy, they do have  a lot on their plates!  If the Democrats in congress are going to make a hay day out of Wilson's comment, for which he has apologized to the President,  it is only fair to go after their indiscretions and bad behavior.  Here's the list so far. 

Nancy Pelosi likes to call the CIA liars because she can't remember what she supported and it makes her look good to her constituents.  Who happen to be the nut cases from San Fransico.  We all know the types,  the gay lobbyists  the environmentalists, the anti-war and anti-Bush people who still believe that 9/11 was a set up.  In her own words Pelosi denounces the CIA for misleading her and other lawmakers on the use of the techniques used by the CIA against combative terrorists. "We were told that waterboarding was not being used.  That's the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier they were."    Pelosi knew how long the CIA was using water boarding because she went along with the practice.  As soon as it is not good for her politically to do so, she lies her way through a press conference to get the blame off of her.  Amazing to see what one will do for power!  She has not issued an apology yet on the matter.  We shouldn't hold our breaths,  it's not coming. 

Good old Murtha is good for a lie or two when he is accused the United States Marine  of murder.  His exact quote on Good Morning America back in May of 2006 "United States Marines of killing . . . innocent civilians in cold blood" and accused higher military officers of covering up murder.  It's a shame that the fine citizens of Pennsylvania do not have a Military Veteran representing them.  Oh, wait, Jack Murtha is a Vet.  One who  behaves as if it is a crime to serve in the Military.   As of June 17, 2008, six defendants had their cases dropped and one was found not guilty.  To date, there has been no apologies to the men who were accused.  What a disgraceful act of arrogance on the part of Murtha. 

President Barack Obama apologizes when it seems to be appropriate by his standards.  For example in France he stated,    “In America, there’s a failrue to appreciate Europes leading role in the world.  Instead of celebrting your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to met common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismmisve, even derisive.”  That’s right , blame American for becoming successful.  Blame America the country that is always defendin freedom, not only on our soil but everywhere in the world.  Blame the counry tht is hte first to respond in times of cirsis and disaster.   By the way, Mr. Obama the same counry that you are disgusted with, is your Country,  Or is it?  It does cause some concern about where his loyalty lies if our country should be under attack again. 

This should make some liberals happy.  At least we can say that Obama can make an apology.  To bad it’s for American instead of to America.  

From hope and change to heartache and chaos.  That is what Americans are witnessing now with the Obama administration.  There is no doubt that Obama is looking to put positive spins on the economic outlook.  Recent data shows that the stimulus plan is not working,  Cap and Trade will raises taxes and strip away more freedom,  healthcare is more akin to death care and the jobless rate is soaring past 10 percent in sixteen states.  How long will it be before the other thirty-four states see those same numbers. Vice-President Biden can gloat all he wants about how well the economy is, but when he asked his audience  at J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College in Henrico to look around and see the progress of the stimulus package and the economy.   It is just too pathetic to see this man promote this propaganda.  The media did nothing to test him on his statements.   Mr. Vice-President, just a week or two ago, you comment that your Administration had underestimated how bad the economy was, yet know everything is rosy.  What has changed?  How could Obama believe that that the resident big mouth should go out to pump the economy, when everyone in America sees him as a goof ball.  

Sticking to the policies that the Obama administration is so sure that America’s needs,  let’s ask why everything has to be done right now?  What is the hurry?  Unfortunately for the President, many voters are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.  Obama and his minions either don’t have a clue what they are doing or they know what they wanted to accomplish, but they didn’t count on people to be smart enough to pay attention. As odd as this may seem to say,  we should hope it is the second scenario not the first.  If it is the first scenario, then the country is really doomed due to incompetence.  As comedian Ron White would say “You can’t fix stupid.”  It is astounding to say the least, that a the moment when our country is going through a financial crisis, this Administration seeks for ways to spend more money.  All of his policies add to the overwhelming debt.  However, if it is the second scenario, then there is hope for the American people to turn things around. The Administration may be willing to kill off the American dream to gain socialism but they didn't count on so many Americans to stand up against radical changes in our country.  The voice of  the American people has always been more powerful than the politicians.  The voices for freedom has always been more powerful than any government. 

The important battle right now is healthcare and it  is far from over.  Obama has gambled his presidency on this issue.   The spin out there is Obama is not doing this for him,  he is doing it for the American people.  Right! Explain why   polls are starting to show that 49% are opposed to his ideas and 45% approve.  That is math that can not be ignored. The average citizen understands that Healthcare is all about Obama.  Pelosi and gang will have much to do to turn things around.  It is not an impossible task, unless the American citizens block the Democrats efforts. 

Which leads to the all important question,  do Americans need healthcare reform?  According to the President Americans not only need it but are looking for leadership on the issue.  Leadership does not mean taking a problem and turning it on its ear.  When a car needs to be fixed,  is it practical to take it  apart to make a totally different car?  This is exactly what the Democrat Leadership wants to do and yet it is not necessary to go this far when fixing healthcare.  The main concern for healthcare is how to lower costs and still provide the best care possible to patients. Keeping in mind the dignity of the human being.  The best solutions to this problem will not come out of Washington.  It can and should come from the industry.  Doctors, pharmacists, nurses and insurers can all wrk together to find the solutions that will bring costs down.  At this point, it doesn’t seem as though the Obama administration wants to hear from the Healthcare industry or the voters.  Maybe now that they have extended the deadline of when healthcare will be passed, their ears will be open.  For America’s sake, let’s hope so. 

And not in a good way either.  As President Obama and his minions trot out this wonderful plan that will get the country back on it's feet in 2013,  voters are wondering, "Did I sign up for this?   Yes,  all the voters who hoped for change have gotten their wish.  There is change big time,  The government is shaking it out of our wallets and into their hands.   Shall we take a look at the plan that the Senate and House has agreed on?  What does $798 trillion dollars buys us these days? 

At the time of writing this blog, the euphoria of the Republican's stand against Obama and the Democrat leaders is starting to wane, just  a little.  It is amazing that all the House Republicans and eleven Democrats voted against this bill.  This  inspires hope for the change America REALLY needs.  Congratulations to the Congressmen and women who voted against this overloaded pork bill.   It is now time to help the Republican Senators, and some Democrats too, to  buck the system and vote against this bill as well.   Just say no to spending that will spiral out of control.  Just say no to Obama for coming up with a plan that will bankrupt America, thus making it in essence the largest third world country.  Just say no to Pelosi, who can't explain how 335 million dollars for STD education is going to help the economy.  (Who can blame her?  No one could explain that one.) Just say no to Reid when he tries to ram a "different, yet the same" version of this bill because in his own words, "Stimulus is in the eye of the beholder, O.K?”

It is truly amazing to scan the top stories of news websites,  TV, cable and magazines.  If you were a person living under a rock for the past year,  you would believe that today's date is November 5 and Barack is president.  It has been said on talk radio for the past week that the election is not over, so why post a blog that points out what everyone else has been saying all week?  Truth is,  it needs to be repeated over and over again.  With an emphasis on what the Democrats are doing at this moment ---- plotting to squash the American spirit.
