GOP Agenda May Mean More in 2012 Than Now

I don't believe the country will be one bit better with republicans in control of the House. They are already celebrating with corporate lobbyists and the word is that Darrell Issa has sent out letters to top corporations to tell them what regulations they don't like and want them (GOP) to take on. God in heaven and Jesus too!! These republicans are supposed to be working on jobs, jobs and more jobs for America. Now we will see that they won't do one single thing for job creation or for the middle class. They will only dance for the corporate elite and for their interests and for no one else. The republicans will be wasting time with investigations of President Obama where there is nothing to investigate but that will be what they will waste money on.

Republican so-called reform of so-called Obamacare will throw out the baby with the bath water. The Democrats better not cave in and have a good fight over the legilation approved in the lame duck.Reform of filibuster rules needs to be done and the "secret hold" abolished. No one Senator should be allowed to hols up legislation. Democrats, stiffen your resolve and sto acting like wusses. And Republicans, stop making political points and do what's good for the country and not suposedly good for you.

The best of times, the worst of times. After the current President has made additions to his Czars without congress having a sayso, the NEW congress is a position finally going to have "honest" input and show what it really needs to show about "PORK". Come on and SHOW WHAT "we" REALLY ELECTED YOU TO DO in the light>

So,quite frankly the repeal and replacement of Obamacare and our
big time economic problems are not the only top priority issues,
that the Republicans need to be dealing with immediately and so the
GOP needs to get it right or out they go just like happened to the
dimwit Democrat Obamabots did starting in 2010 now then.
And,that list must include the Impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama,
repeal and replacement of Obamacare,Immediately secure our borders
with Mexico and enforce our existent immigration laws,deportation of all illegal aliens in the USA,end H 1 B Visas,Jail illegal alien
employers. Then move on rapidly to bringing our troops home from
Afghanistan and Iraq and letting the CIA and Special Forces go after 9-11 Terrorist Leader Osama bin Laden. We also need to Fire
clueless wonder total incompetents Sec of Homeland Security Janet
Napolitano,US AG Eric Holder,ICE Director John Morton,all 32 Obama
Czars and every member of the Obama Cabinet as well,as the top
priority items facing the USA and Congress today not 2012!

It is about time that government is trimmed. For the last 4 years we've had a Democratic congress whose polices of spend, spend spend caused a recession and has given us too big of a debt. When the government was created, it was never intended to take care of everything. That role was left to individuals and states. The constitution says that anything not stated as the role of the federal government, the states have the authority. Let's turn the revenue and cost back to the states for a lot of things that Big Brother should not be involved in. You cannot get out of debt by spending more. As Jefferson said: "Those that govern least govern best".

While the Republican Party of NO just critizices they have not come up with any kind of solutions. They will remain the party of "talk" since they have not come up with any kind of policy that will replace Obama's health reform. Or, do they intend to leave all middle-class, the poor and the elderly and disabled without health insurance??? Are they also going to drop their own health insurance benefits that are costly to the taxpayers? I do not trust the Republican party to do anything worthwhile---especially since all their focus is on saving and making money of the wealthy. How do you trust a party that will vote against a bill to add the first responders made ill during 911, how do you put your trust or believe in a party that does not have a problem with approving huge tax cuts for the wealthy while denying benefits to the unemployed? Which by the way, are unemployed due to the corrupt and incompetent policies of the Bush and Republican administration that left us with a huge deficit, millions in foreclosure, millions of lost jobs, millions left not only unemployed but lost pensions and investments. Sorry, I don't trust them or believe anything they say especially since they have NOT come up with any real productive plans that will benefit ALL Americans and not just the wealthy.

I have read somewhere on the news that something like "Wise Health Insurance" is offering lowest health insurance rate for low and middle income families so search online and find them.
