The fact is that the Democratic party want's to take care of US citizens, while the republican party is for just ME and big business, and stepping on the backs of others to get to the top. The republican party will use you.


Why should the government take care of YOU. Take care of YOURSELF.

Do you have any idea how many Democratic Senators own or spouses own BIG Business and are RICH!!!!

Lets get one thing straight. Both parties are users and abusers. The only difference and I do mean the only difference is the rhetoric they use to get the vote.
What happened in Obama's own state when his seat was vacated? That was no republican selling the seat.
What about in PA. Luzern county? These are not Republican judges that being arrested .
No sir these are politicians. Politicians regardless of which party they are members of are in it for the same reason. POWER
You and I are barely an after thought.
66% of the american public did not agree with the direction of the health care reform bill. And yet???
82% of the American public disapproves of the job Congress has been doing. And yet our elected reps still do not care enough to listen to the voter.
Why? Because history has taught them that they can depend upon party hardliners to re-elect them over and over.
I see that you put alot of faith into "POLLS" that must be embarrassing for you.

Yes, wasting money on 2 wars is staying out of your life.
It's better to waste YOUR money somewhere else than on it's own citizens, isn't it?

What happens when the citizen supporting you gets sick of supporting and you stops? Let me guess you dont think thats ever going to happen?

Since you have this mentally that the gov is to provide and take care of you guess you arent capable of taking care of yourself and thats a shame

Listen pal, there ARE people in AMERICA who have no healthcare, and some have very little, since you have the mentality of letting these people take care of theirselves, it must be ok with you to kick them out of hospitals/nursing facilities and tell them to GET WELL on their own! duh.
do you have a job?
do you pay social security taxes?
are you self employed and pay self employment taxes?
do you pay into the medicare system?
do you think you'll be able to work forever without getting sick?
do you think you will ever retire and have a need for public programs?
If you have a retirement fund and will live comfortably after retirement, GOOD FOR YOU!
Many Americans work min. wage jobs, and are dependent on social programs if they become ill or cannot work any longer.
It seems you have a problem with that.
Most Americans pay into the programs I have highlighted, and are entitled to use that program. Maybe you think they're not?
The gov doesn't GIVE people anything. People usually pay into the system.

Please tell the ladies and gentlemen of this forum how a person making minimum wage is supposed to afford quality health care? we're waiting.

Why would that be embarrassing? Obama's very interested in polls. So was Bush, so was Clinton. They all see polls as an indication which way the wind is blowing relative to their performance.

btw, Obama is sinking fast.

There is more that has health insurance. All Americans have healthcare

I have been without insurance gotten sick, Needed surgery, paid for it myself, Got the surgery I needed. didnt file bankrupt either.

So once again what happens when Joe doesnt want to work to support you anymore? What happens to you then? What happens to this country when the lazy takes over even more and does less?

This country as turned into a bunch of whining lazy babies that thinks they are entitled to about everything now

Oh yeah even McDonalds offers health insurance along with my fast food places. So I am really sick of the excuses. How about we make it more affordable for all business to be able to offer insurance and people have to actually work to get something instead of thinking Joe is suppose to pay for his and James . Joe is going to resent James at sometime and stop

Response is typical of a person of the right.

That might be you. Were you working a min wage job, or are you a rocket scientist making big bucks?

I'm waiting for you to tell the forum how min wage earners can afford health insurance.
