By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

The annual CPAC convention of conservatives is expected to be a sellout because two huge names are coming to deliver red-meat speeches: Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin. We've got the whole list for you below. Limbaugh will play clean-up, speaking last on Saturday February, and organizers expect him to expand on fight with Obamacans over his recent comment: "I want him to fail." Recall that earlier this week we reported on the liberal group Americans United running ads against conservatives citing Limbaugh's comments. The president, of course, also took on Limbaugh, urging Republicans to work with him and not follow the talk show host's urgings. Look for it to get even hotter.

Distortion of facts on Healthcare and Freedom

I would suggest that you read the Healthcare bill, and the Stimulus bill, and the report from the CBO, before you publicly vote on it. Congress votes on these issues and have not even read them, so how do you know Rush and Sarah distort the facts? Remember this is a PowerGrab.

I have read enough that I am fighting mad, angry and will not accept this Healthcare bill, and what has influenced me even more is the reports from the Constitution Attornies. The CBO even has the decisions of what is going to happen to the Military Health Care, and every Veteran should be verbally attacking Congress. We will eventually lose our Health Care, Tricare for Life, which we were promised, and a Bill was passed by Congress years ago to provide for this. You also will lose your Private Insurance.

I am skimming over the tops of these bills to prove to you that this POWERGRAB was not formed in 8 or 9 months, the plans to take over mortgages, loans, banks, car companies, credit cards, student loans, control of our foods, the internet, the talk radio and if the Government takes over our Health Care, they will have complete control of our lives, our choices, and our CONSTITUTION WILL BE NO MORE.

Do you believe their lies about the number without healthcare? I do not. The Sanctuary Cities, the illegals and people who do not want to pay for insurance take a tremendous toll on our Medical System. There are Public Health Clinics in every city and town and people always have Medical Help. The hospitals do not turn away people in need of care. The taxpayer must pay the bill.

Why do you think NAFTA and GATT were passed? Sending all of our manufacturing and jobs overseas? Was it really to help these other countries while downgrading and dumbdowning ours? Where are our jobs? Our homes? Our Banks? Our mortgages? Our used car lots? Our Auto companies? Our Businesses?

Why do the Americans who have had the best Medical, Schools, Freedoms of Liberty, Speech, choices and being part of the shining example to the world not question these changes? We worked through difficult times, disasters, wars, diseases, and we persevered. We have given more aide to other countries than any other country, and I greatly resent people coming to this country and simply taking what is rightfully ours which we earned.

I have been Blessed to have lived from "Sea to Shining Sea", each state is different, but the people are the same. I have lived in foreign countries also, and they did not change their way of life for Americans.

No, I do not want the Government taking control of my life, my freedoms, my choices, control of businesses and HealthCare while they become wealthy off the taxpayers. We are intelligent people, but we make mistakes and correct them. No, we do not need Healthcare change or reform, the people and the Medical system will solve our problems. I will always proudly stand on the Constitution of the United States of America.

Will You?

GOP and change

I am sure there are a lot of good Republicans who place country and the people over the party and their own self interests. However, two of the three heavy hitters above are not them. To be relevant, the GOP has to do more than say no, and pray for Obama's failure. So far it is party first, Country last. How about coming up with real solutions, not just stonewalling and negativity.

Distortion of Facts on Health Care Issues

Now that many Americans have heard more about the proposed "Health Care" issues, let us vote publicly on it instead of both houses voting on it. Let that include "Public Option". This is more democratic. Apparently our representatives are not representing our views and not helping us. We do'nt want the facts to be distorted by Rush and Sara on "Death Panel".
