I am SICK. Sick and tired of coddling the Republicans. They let this happen just as much as the voters who voted for 0bama. How? How can that be? Easy, they started suckling the teat of socialism.
For years the GOP has REFUSED to attack medicare or medicaid or social security. They consider them hands off. So what happened? Voters assumed that since other Big Government social programs were "okay" that one more couldn't hurt.
It's time to stop the lies! How can we continue to let Republicans slide by giving some social programs the okay? NO MORE SOCIALISM! It's time to demand that your reps and senators go forward and say "We are repealing ALL socialism!" No 0bamacare. No Johnsoncare. No Rooseveltcare. NO MORE CARE.
Attack at the heart if you really want to slay the hydra, otherwise you'll be battling its ever growing heads forever until it devours you.
If a single Republican continues to give any approval to the socialist programs in media appearances or statements on their website or ANYTHING, DO NOT SUPPORT THEM.
Obamacare maybe and hopefully, but as to the other two no-way it is not possible without a actual civil war.
Suits me. End the game of lies and cut off support to the worthless parasites.
so then we’re expected to sit idly by and support politicians that support only 2/3rds of the socialist beast?
Exactly, this is the result of decades of people looking to the government to provide for them. You can’t just repeal ObamaCare, you have to go back to the root and restore the Constitution as it was before Roosevelt if we want to have any chance of being and staying a free country.
I am just telling it like it is. Do you realy think that people that have paid into Social Security for over 30-40 years are just going to say well the ‘guberment’ screwed me and took my money and now I get none of it back and I should just write it off?
1. Repeal Obama care ASAP before it can have a chance to destroy our medical system.
2. Pass the Enumerated Powers act, which needs to be fortified with a tight definition of what regulation of interstate commerce means and a grandfather clause that gives a blueprint/timeline for enacting legislation to transition existing programs to the states to maintain as they see fit or abolish.
3. Enact a law that says federal government cannot spend money except in direct support of maintenance of the three branches of government or the implementation of the laws relating to the enumerated powers (no grants for hog stink research, no kickbacks for ACORN or union activities, etc.)
4. Dramatically reduce/overhaul federal tax policy in light of the reduced federal burden.
5. Gradually transition/eliminate superfluous programs.
will not happen...
Try posting this under chat or general. It is hardly news
I prefer the term Health Control, myself.
I must say that when I received my GOP.com email from Michael Steele last night requesting money for a “Money Bomb”.. I read all through it.. Yeah yeah, throw the bums out, yadda yadda yadda.. not ONE SINGLE WORD about work to repeal this monstrosity, just using the opportunity to take my anger and turn it into money for votes. Michael Steel, take a hike. You get results, you will get my money, but don’t ask for it if you aren’t going to lay down some promises to do something about this should you return to power.
You forgot Bushcare e.g. the prescription drugs boondogle. As I recall, Sean Hannity pretty much forgot that too when it was passed.
Kinda hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube once its out.
I appreciate your emotional involvement in an important issue but you overlook some facts. George Bush tried to change Social Security as one of his first acts as President. The media, the Democrat Congress, the unions and all the other usual suspects viciously attacked him and killed the idea.
Newt Gingrich and the Republican House put the brakes on many of Bill Clinton’s liberal ideas. He and Hillary tried to enact national health care themselves. If not for the Republicans in Congress Bill Clinton would have been as bad as Obama. Without the Republicans in Congress Obama would have done even more than he already has. Look how long it took him to get this far on healthcare after a year of non-stop campaigning and arm twisting.
Without Republicans, even the rinos, we would be much worse off.
I don’t know about you personally, but I often suspect many who blast Republicans and demand a 3rd party effort are actually liberals moles trying to dishearten and misinform conservatives. Many of you demand a candidate who is perfect according to your standards.
Sarah Palin is as close as I have seen in a long time and many of you find fault with her.
Bye-bye, troll
I love to pile on after the ZOT!
It was a suicide troll!
