House Healthcare Bill Longer Than 'War and Peace'

It's amazing that many drank the wrong kool-aid - kinda like Joe the Plumber who made less than $50K but acts like he makes more than $250K/yr in proving Obama as a socialist!
* Guess which party has been spending: http://bit.ly/2p5Coj (more info at http://zfacts.com )
* About health care reform, you know who is Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France winner? You wouldn't consider him a dumb, poor, lazy, socialist liberal, would you? Then read this story http://bit.ly/3gor0p
Lance put it, "I was lucky. One of my sponsors, Oakley, stood up for me and threatened to take all their business elsewhere if their insurance carrier refused to cover me. Without their help, I might not be alive today. Or I might be completely broke, still trying to dig my way out of a massive pile of medical bills."
If the GOP really cares about you & me, they wouldn't have fought so hard the past 50 years to deny 50M Americans of the basic health coverage. Eventually, a large chunk of the 50M uninsured (like Lance Armstrong was) will hit the emergency treatments without the help of companies like Oakley. Who do you think will pay for that? And emergency treatments are more costly than preventative ones. And then there are Republicans who whine about how the Senate health care reform bill is not long enough! http://is.gd/5ilEo
About the deficits, which party has been spending ( http://bit.ly/2p5Coj )? And wasn't Bush the one that rushed the $700B TARP stimulus passage? That was basically the "only" thing that Bush did right. Otherwise, we would have seen Great Depression II -- everyone would have rushed to the banks and withdraw their money! If that were to happen, everyone would get hurt.
I voted for Reagan and, hands-down, Obama is smarter and lots more effective. We just need to calm the right/left wingnuts/thugs down. If the ocean pirates are an indication, we will sock it to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Prediction... Mullah Omah and/or Osama bin's head(s) by 7/4/11, or latest 9/11/11! Just watch.
If wingnuts demand fast results, they should go & touch themselves! That way, they feel better. Obama gets things done faster.

Why does the Heathen rage? Anyone with a half a brain could see that the Stimulus Package only stimulated payoffs, pork, and laid the ground work to grow a Socialist takeover. The Cap and Trade Bill has nothing to do with Global Warming. It has everything to do with taxing Americans into oblivion and destroying Small Businesses, while we give up our sovereignty to the U.N. The Socialized Medicine Bill has nothing to do with Healthcare. It has everything to do with a total Socialist take over of our Republic!

Sure would be convenient for a bus to run her over!

Pelosi and her group of obscene liberals are simply attempting to ram through a
massive spending bill without allowing to ponder this mess.

How can we achieve thoughtful health care reform when members of congress only have 72 hours to read 1990 pages?
Shouldn't we expect and demand more of congress?

Delete all pages allowed by the constitution.
How many pages are we left with, not counting the contents listing?
Hammer your reps. to defend our constitution!

Republican healthcare bill in comparison is really small-Just two lines- Do not get sick. If you get sick, DIE!!!

How long was the Gettysbug Address.
The Dems. like to whip things out and push to pass before anyone can gain understanding.
The tonnage on this things should cause thoughtful people to dump it, or drag their feet

The repub's health care plan has 10 pages, and it comes with color and crayons, just like the stimulus bill! hahaha.

Tragically we've elected a black solialist, a Chicago trained political hack. As a result, we are going to be saddled with the same kind of tyrannical despotism our founding fathers bore suffering and created the revolution to rid from the people. We elder citizens will be forced into fiscal danger with the White House, Marxist hatred of free enterprise. Just look at those he has surrounded himself with. Tax cheats, Maoists, those who feel Hugo Chavez is a noble revolutionary, who will bastardize the Constitution and demand that blacks @12.5%, gays/lesbians, less than 4%, and other minorities, to positions of domination over the rest of us. They deserve representation but not the mennacing demand that they receive far more of what is available than anyone else. We may need a Paul Revere to sound the alarm. Obama's crew wants to turn the media into a fawning public relations firm. Our image abroad is in the toilet and the janitor who was responsible for that bathroom, Barack Obama, has allowed this depredation of this magnificant country.
