Let's stop wasting our tax money fighting losing battles and use it to pay for health care. Why should other countries get free or reduced health care and medications while we are paying more than we can afford and only going in when we have no other choice. I don't care if we have prostitution as long as they are required to have a license and be tested every month and PAY TAXES. I don't care if people grow and sell marijuana as long as they PAY TAXES. And stop wasting tax money trying to enforce a drinking age of 21 when they just get the booze anyways. Take the people out of jail that are in for these crimes, stop wasting tax money fighting them and let's make the money we need to provide health care for every man, woman and child in our country. It is time to prioritize and it is time to stop wasting money on things that are never going to stop. We need that money and the money we can make now more than ever.

How about instead of taxing cheeseburgers we all pretty much have to live on, let him go back to the clowns that paid over $600 million to buy Obama into office and get them to give us some ideas how to pay for our healthcare he's about to take away?
Frankly, this thing with the American citizens having to pay for Obama's excess personal baggage is getting old. Air your personal vendettas in psychoanalysis, B.O., - we weren't your Daddy, smoking was your personal choice, and we don't want to have to pay because you didn't get your pony.

What bothers me most about the administrations health care plan is the lack of time for Americans to study and react to it. So far, we have only proposals. I am afraid that the final agreement will not be a proposal, but will be dictated to Americans without ample time for national thought and discussion. If that should happen, we can count on years of pain as undetected flaws emerge that could have been discovered earlier, had sufficient public review time been allowed.

Palin for President? Look I'm a red meat Republican, but she's got no chance. Don't even say stuff like that. If the GOP doesn't nominate Mitt Romney/Meg Whitman in 2012 I'll leave the party. How can any rational Republican not see that Palin was the reason McCain lost. Had McCain chosen Romney, we're be in the Whitehouse.

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.
And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.
Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).
Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.
In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!
If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!
Join the fight.
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You
