    But only if Obama and the Democratic Congress continue to show themselves as ineffective. Indeed, a worst case scenario would include the US getting attacked again by Al Qaida (sp?), an economy that continues to shrink with only insignificant decrease in the unemployment rate, and a lack of backbone on the part of Congressional Dems to push through any meaningful legislation that truly represents reform.

    Even Obama's recent 'pep rally' speeches to Congress or to town-halls, is merely just-that - pep-rally speeches. As a result, if nothing is accomplished, and things worsen severely enough, the stage could be set to elect not-so-much Palin herself, but let's say newly elected Sen Brown from Massachusetts, who, like Barack Obama came from apparently out-of-nowhere to lead a virtual revolution by grasping the hopes of the American people.

    While some of us tend to underestimate both Palin's appeal and the draw of the Tea Party movement, remember that only 600 some-odd folks showed up for their national convention in Nashville this weekend. But every. single. major. network. news. organization. covered. Palin's. speech. LIVE! Why? Because they ARE news, (even though the State of CA Green Party in the yr 2000 garnered well over 700 members just from CA at their convention, and NO one covered them)! Get it?!

    Write your Congressperson TODAY, and even the PRESIDENT himself, to state clearly that this faux bi-partisanship we'd all love to experience, simply ain't gonna happen with a bunch of nit-wits-gone-rogue.

    THAT SALESMAN IS INTERESTED IN GETTING HIS SHARE OF THE COMMISION.HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN THOSE RETIRED PEOPLE'S INTEREST. IT MAKES ME SICK TO HEAR OF HOW BIG BUSINESS STOMPS ON THE WORKING PEOPLE AND SENIORS WITHOUT ANY PROSECUTION OR PENALTIES. IF A PERSON GRABS A LOAF OF BREAD IN A STORE AND RUNS OUT OF THE STORE WITH IT,HE GETS CHASED DOWN BY THE LAW AND TOOK TO JAIL.NEXT DAY,THE LOCAL PAPER WILL HAVE HIS NAME AND WHAT HE DID WRONG IN THEIR PAPER AND WHY HE WAS ARRESTED. BUT THE FANCY SLICK TALKING INSURANCE THIEF SALESMAN RUNS BACK TO HIS OFFICE WAITING FOR HIS COMMISION ON HIS POLICIES SOLD. THEN HE PLANS FOR HIS NEXT VICTIM TO VISIT AND RIPOFF.WAKE UP AMERICA,BIG BUSINESS IS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO STEALING,LYING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR CITIZENS.

    I hope it wins to help expose the absudity of the People's United decision.

  • Reply to: Is Obama Planning to Sign Congress' Health Care Reform Bill with Lipstick?   14 years 8 months ago
    Right now, the only thing I care about is having somebody pass national not-for-profit health care. If any of you think that health care reform is not an ABSOLUTE necessity, think again. If you continue to keep the attitude of "I've got my insurance so screw you" so prevalent in self-centered America, Think again. If you think the greed driven, abusive medical insurance and drug companies should continue to run a medical insurance system that forces bankruptcy, serves as "god" in making decisions concerning what is covered and what is not, here's what you will have to look forward to: More and more American Companies moving all their operations to other countries so they don’t have to pay for their employees ever-increasing and cost prohibitive health care Insurance premiums. Look for employers who do decide to stay here start dropping expensive health care insurance for their employees causing the 50 million uninsured to swell to much higher numbers. This in turn will also increase premiums tremendously for those still fortunate enough to have insurance. This increase will be passed on to the premium payers. You didn’t for one minute think that these health Insurance companies are going to take a pay cut did you? Already strapped emergency rooms going bankrupt and closing up shop because they must provide medical care to all citizens. More and more Americans losing their homes and filing bankruptcy because they cannot pay astronomical medical bills. More and more Americans losing their homes and filing bankruptcy because they cannot pay astronomical medical bills leftover from procedures that their insurance companies decided they will no longer cover just because they can get away with it. Now that they are sure whose side the government is on they can do exactly as they please. If the current plan which Obama proposed goes through, we will all be forced to buy the Insurance (increasing the premiums we already can’t afford). Do we really need this extra financial burden on us right now? I can tell you right now that I will go to jail rather than add to the coffers of the For-Profit Health Insurance Companies. The good news about doing nothing at all is this: Once more and more people have their health care dropped by their employers both parties will begin to realize that they will have to do something. Shortly after that fiasco happens some kind of Health Care Reform will pass unanimously and without a whimper. Hell, even the RepubNOcans will act like they thought of it first and blame the Democrats for procrastinating LOL. I myself, would like to see it pass as soon as possible so countless people don’t have to die waiting for it to happen. Peace
