Don't think for a moment many voters won't remember the actions and speech of the self-identifying more wise, more patriotic, more "Christian" of the two main parties. Independents also will have their say. Ten million more Americans voted in this administration and they will be voting in 2010.
You're right, independents will have their say, their saying things right now, like what the f*ck! This isn't what I voted for...In case you haven't noticed, and it sounds like you haven't, he is losing independents rapidly...and his job approval is the lowest of any post-Truman president except Clinton, even Bush's approval was higher at this point than Dear Leader's approval is...how's that hope and change working out for you?
You're just fixated with Barack Obama aren't you? Your previous talk of "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is growing more ludicrously hypocritical by the hour. You just keep on repeating the same hoary "How's that hope and change working out for you" catchphrases over and over. Hell, you're more excited about Obama and obsess about him more than most people who voted for him, I bet.
Obama is not the issue, the issue America's expensive, inefficient, scam of a "healthcare system". It's way more expensive than in single-payer system countries yet millions people are without any sort of health insurance and millions more are denied care because of, say, pre-existing conditions. It's an absolute horror.
The Republicans are so lathered about the issue because if the Democrats manage to pull together a "socialistic" healthcare system that provides a measure of free health care for all, they will be absolutely fucked and the last itty bitty remnants of their credibility will be totally crushed. As they deserve to be. So, it's pull-all-the-stops "death panel" craziness to the hilt!
In other words, Republicans as usual are both afraid themselves and ratcheting up fear among the citizenry for their own (=the insurance industry's) rapacious ends. Well the Republicans and the Blue Dog Democrats (a group established by Rahm Emanuel, so don't get too excited about them now, ya hear?).
Exactly right and eliminating private insurance, which is its intent and what will happen if this bill is passed, will result in rationing of care, poorer quality health care, sky rockecting costs which will be paid for with higher taxes. True reform is not creating a government run system which has been proven not to work by RomneyCare, Canada's system is imploding, England's system is cutting back services to save money. Wherever its tried it fails so why does Obama want to implement it here? I think that is obvious...and its got nothing to do with providing health care. So when protesters are called, nazis, teabaggers, angry mobs, brown shirts, KKK, political terrorists, evil mongers and so on, that tends to piss people off. I guess its ok to protest against Republicans/Conservatives but not the other way...
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™ Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Friday, March 19, 2010 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends). Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation. Fifty-percent (50%) are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
First he plays at Rush Limbaugh's wedding and now this. Thumbs up! Elton John, statesman - Bill O'Reilly : Sir Elton John did an extraordinary thing last week. He praised President George W. Bush in an interview with the ABC News/Yahoo! Power Players series, reminding us in the process that there are still statesmen in the world. Cross-ideological kindnesses are so rare these days that John's remarks were downright jolting. 'via Blog this'
Pelosi Tactic for Health-Care Vote Would Raise Legal Questions - Bloomberg.com By Greg Stohr March 18 (Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be creating new grounds for a court challenge to the proposed U.S. health-care overhaul as she considers using a mechanism that would avoid a vote on the full legislation. Pelosi said this week she might use a parliamentary technique that would “deem” House members to have passed the Senate’s health-care plan by voting for a more politically palatable package of changes. Some legal scholars question whether that approach can be squared with the Constitution and the Supreme Court’s 1998 declaration that the two houses of Congress must approve “precisely the same text” before a bill can become a law. “Any process that does not result in the House taking of yays and nays on statutory text identical to what passed the Senate is constitutionally problematic,” said Jonathan Adler, a professor who runs the Center for Business Law & Regulation ...
Yeah, the teabaggers, the birthers and the "Obama is Hitler" crowd will all march into Washington and fill about one tenth of the Mall! :D
ReplyDelete"A political uprising like never seen before"... Man you're so far gone it's not even funny.
Really...all polls show Obama plummeting in performance approval and policies...so who's the one that's "so far gone?"
ReplyDeleteI ain't talking about filling the mall you silly man...

Yes...I love watching him fail
