3. Would-be protest organizers were visited by the FBI in some cases.

All of the above were tyrannical acts against the First Amendment and the American people. But that was fine, huh?
What left leaning blog did you take that information from? ABC maybe?

Hi girl. I see you are still as blindly following Obama as I am blindly opposing him.

Well technically you can. You dont have to have insurance on YOUR car, but you have to have liability that pays for the other party if the accident is your fault.

Amen. The insurance lobby spent $50 million working against health care reform in the first quarter of this year alone.

$52 Million Has Been Spent So Far on Health-Care Reform Ads in What Could Be Record-Shattering Battle - washingtonpost.com
You Propeller link doesn't work and I wanted so badly to see it. Really I did since I haven't been referred to that place in a long time.

I see that the left isn't spending one penny on this little fight. I count Soros money as left money, though.

Wouldn't it be better and cheaper, in the long run, to just pass some more insurance controls to settle what Obama calls Health insurance reform? For some reason I wonder how public option will do that as much as it will drive the insurance companies out of business. I see this thing as an attempt to get the government into complete control of medical spending which becomes single payer and that becomes socialized medicine. Can you tell me how that is all wrong?

I don't think you really understand what he is ramming. It isn't a left - right thing anymore. It is very serious and more people need to stop looking at it being a war between the left and the right.

Yes because he doesn't listen to the American people who in his, Pelosi and Reid's mind are just mobsters and annoying.

He only will blame Hannity, Limbaugh and others and has no clue that people are serious about their concerns....Obama is above the avergae person and entitled to get his name on the bill...that is all he cares about, making history what way doesn't matter!

It will pass and here is how its going to play out:


1.) Obama’s healthcare plan will be won – written by a committee whose head publicly stated he doesn’t understand it (John Conyers)

2.) The healthcare plan will be passed by a Congress who has not read it

3.) Will be signed by a President who still smokes two packs a day

4.) Funded by a Treasury Chief who didn’t pay his taxes (Tim Geithner)

5.) Overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese (Regina Benjamin)

6.) Financed by a country that is nearly broke


What could possibly go wrong with this?

I never believed it to be a war between left and right. It is a war between right and wrong.

How many times do you have to be told that it will be a choice....or do you just enjoy lying for your side so much that you don't care who gets screwed......?


I bet the executive of YOUR health insurance company would rub his hands in glee if he could see your posts.....



I sure hope you aren't atypical of Marines........

No, it is not. Half of those opposing the plan would have opposed anything coming from President Obama just because it does not come from the Republican party.
These are the same people who were making all kind of excuses for George W Bush while he was taking down this Country.

Obama's plan is not perfect, but I listened to plenty of opposers and many really had no idea of what they were talking about; all they knew was "it's Obama's plan, so it's not good".

And those ridicolous "tea-baggers" should have gotten a kick in the butt just for the insult to the history of our Country.
