Dont underestimate these bastards.

Waxman is just the henchman that has drawn duty to vilify the corporations as “greedy prigs”

The next motion will be to say “see? This is why we need gov, controls”

Well lets see. We can play the race card. We can play the right wing militia card and on it goes. These people are so predictable.

You know what is funny?

2~3 years ago I noticed all the “hip” folks had Bluetooth and Aircards.

Now no one uses it.

I saw a 68 year old bubba at tractor supply wearing a bluetooth this week. A sure sign that the wave is over.

But nobody put a gun to anyone’s head or wrote laws three years back to force folks to pay big bucks for goofy stuff that made them look important or “plugged in”

I like the market.
You wanna spend money on the latest craze ie global warming/Iphone/whatever.. go for it.

But don’t give me a mandate to participate.

Waxman is so passionate about Government Controlled Healthcare because he is victim of the failed private healthcare system we now have....he evidently had an adenoid operation that obviously failed.
