Now I’m glad that the public option is pretty muc
h off the table and Democrats are distancing themselves from healthcare.
But, quite frankly, I’ve had just about enough of the bullcrap that Democrats are full of.
If I do recall, during the two presidential terms from 2000-2008, the Democrats did nothing except hound on the smallest of mistakes by the Bush administration.
Now with the tables turned in 2009 and the Democrats in power, they can’t take ANY criticism on their unpopular socialized proposals.
They can’t stand that the Republican party and interested parties in the healthcare debate have used the same tactics and like resources as Obama used to gain the White House to kill healthcare reform. They can’t stand that grassroots demonstrators across the country have turned socialized medicine on it’s head and essentially made the country mad at Democrats.
Now the interesting thing is to watch a Democrat when you back him into a corner. It’s like a cat that will gnaw and claw and say just about anything to get out of that position. Just among the few insane things they’re throwing out there are that these people at town halls are staged and that bills being introduced in Congress don’t have specifics like death panels, government takeover of healthcare, and rationing of healthcare. They believe it won’t raise the deficit even though the CBO says it will.
From comments on CNN article attempting to fact check the failing plan and numerous Dem blogs, apparently people’s opinions on healthcare and such are just a concealed way to say “get rid of the black President.” The fact that people even believe that is just insane. They will label and attempt to spin anything towards racism. Don’t like healthcare? You’re racist. Don’t want Obama in the White House? You’re racist. Have doubts about where Barack was born? You’re a racist. Think the stimulus was wasted money and has done nothing to help our economic status? You’re a racist. Watching their party self-destruct from in the inside out over such an unpopular issue is funny as hell.
This is hypocrisy at it’s best. The Dems are just turning into zealots for a lost cause and the end game will be Barack NOT sitting in the Oval Office in 1252 days from now. How glorious.

In an attempt to fully become Big Brother and add even more Americans to his “enemies list”, Obama has asked citizens to send the White House any information concerning anything you hear that may be “fishy” concerning healthcare. Obama has said if you hear anything about “death panels” or “no private healthcare” then report it to the White House. Well, ladies and gentleman, these things are IN THE BILL.
Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual … or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility… or a hospice program.” During those consultations, practitioners must explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services.
Section 102 states “Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day of Y1.” and, even further, “Subject to paragraph (3) and except as required by law, the issuer does not change any of its terms or conditions, including benefits and cost-sharing, from those in effect as of the day before the first day of Y1.” This means you can keep your coverage if you have it on Day 1 of this bill passing, but after that you can’t change, modify, switch, or sign up for a new policy. What a load.
My suggestion:
Go here and copy the text of H.R. 3200, the healthcare reform bill.
Then, email the full text to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Claire McCaskill getting a resounding “No!” when asking her constituents whether they trust her.
Sheila Jackson Leigh being on the phone while a cancer survivor asks her about death panels.
BeeBopp Obama and the Ds generally failing in general and the country starting to hate them.
This commentator at NBC.com couldn’t have put it better regarding the supposed guy outside of a town hall meeting that was “a rightwing activist”…
This man was a plant. He will disappear soon after the point is made… (That how they do ya’ll ! Remember the townhall “doctor” that turned out to be not a doctor, but a Soetero operative? Really, do they think we are that dumb?) Many, if not most, of the posters here expressing outrage about “racism” and being appalled over death threats are ACORN, and SEIU part time employees, paid to deluge websites with scripted posts–timed after each of these events. It’s all part of a very well funded, “community organized” propaganda effort to dismantle our system, encourage division among Americans, and drain us of every last tax dollar. The problem for Soetero and Co. is that the taxpayers have had enough of their corruption and the lies of the complicit media and are pushing back. Mr. Soetero and his monied handlers are facing the unexpected opposition of informed, concerned AMERICANS who love their republic and their Constitution and are tired of seeing it ignored while our “dear leader” feasts on lobster and Wagyu beef, and personally enriches himself and his henchmen with our hard earned money. Anyone who loves their way of life must challenge every leftist statement, every dirty politician, every misleading reporter and editor. Keep the pressure on! Don’t let up! Don’t ever quit, or these statist gangsters will steal everything–even the future prosperity of your children.
