health care :slashingtongue
Sometimes you got to wonder about what has happened to electing the right people or even listening to them. It is also hard to believe that people would actually listen to someone like Sarah Palin and actually support her. But it is hard to make a judgment as everyone has their own perspective. When it comes to Sarah Palin I wish she would just quit whatever publicity stunt she is doing and get a reality check. I do not also see how she can be a potential candidate for 2012 presidential elections. Maybe the Mayans where right, 2012 is the end

She told the NRA members that Obama would ban guns if he could. She also stated that he was going against the 2nd Amendment. For those that do not know what is the 2nd Amendment; “A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” She is easily assuming things and spreading her so called thoughts about it. The fact is simple, President Obama knows he can`t ban guns. He also knows about how irresponsible people are, not saying that everyone is. He has to come to make a proper set of laws that will allow people to have weapons but at the same time making it does not fall on the wrong hands. Even though guns are still legal, there are still people who get them illegally. The gun issue itself has too many variables to consider even before making a judgment. So how does Sarah Palin come to her so called conclusion that Obama would ban weapons if he could? Selling weapons legally is a good income if the taxes are paid.

She even said that abortion is immoral things to do. But the thing she considered to doing it once before. She even said that abortions will be funded by federal funding. But the reality is that Obama`s health care does not allow federal money to be spend on elective abortions. Maybe Palin does not know what “elective abortion” means. Well simply put the mother of the unborn wants the child to be intentionally aborted. The thing about abortion is that it really depends on the situation and you can`t make a law that is only one sided. And Sarah Palin does not have the right to tell woman what is right or wrong. I do believe they do know how to make the right choice.

Sometimes before you talk about issues or others it is always best to look back at your own troubles. Palin`s daughter Bristol is a single mother. And she is working on an abstinence campaign. Seriously, this is laughable Palin can`t even settle her daughter`s issues and she is telling other woman how they should be. Really when you look at it, I think more woman might look for an abortion after looking Bristol. Of course, this is not about Bristol but Palin. She is really not clear about many things.

In her recent interview, she even said that there should be more drilling for oil even after the major Gulf spill. In my previous article I did say we need oil up to a certain extent and the transition from oil to green energy is going to be a lengthy one. But with people like Sarah Palin spreading her assumptions the world seriously end up being polluted and dead.

If Sarah Palin becomes the President of the United States, then the countdown to the apocalypse has begun.

He is the person that the business world call the Oracle from Omaha and is one of the richest people in the world. His company just made $3 billion last quarter. This time, where our politicians and media did not get it, he hit the nail right on the head …. on health-care!

Yes, yes, yes…. Finally there was a person that got how the American people were feeling about the healthcare bill. Hey Democrats and Republicans listen to what this man has to say, after all he is the person with money that you guys seem to adore, unlike we normal people whom you chose to ignore!

Here, is his quote (from Reuters):

“ It’s like a tapeworm eating at our economic body,” Buffett said on CNBC television.
“If it was a choice today between Plan A, which is what we’ve got, or Plan B, which is the Senate bill, I would vote for the Senate bill,” he said. “But I would much rather see a Plan C that really attacks costs, and I think that’s what the American public wants to see.”

Firstly, Democrats : your bill sucks. It is so lightweight that the only thing that seems heavy is the fact that it is more than 2000 pages long! Your bill is an abysmal failure and the manner that it goes about cutting cost is really bad….

And Republicans, your notion that we have the best form of healthcare is something that only crazy people say, or people who are simply having an agenda doing nothing. All you guys talk about is cutting cost, when what you provide as an alternative is horrifically worse!

Look, the most important factor of the issue with health-care is : Cost! Cost baby cost! It is the cost that is really affecting Americans. We pay a ridiculous 17% if our GDP on healthcare, and rates are still rising like crazy. Why? That is the point where the Big 2 parties have lost out.

We want cheaper plans. We do not care if it is by the government or not by the government! We would prefer a choice of both! That is why public option is very popular with the people in America, but is forgotten or should I say, intentionally ignored by our leaders in Washington.

I find it very sad that it seems very normal that $4 trillion was wasted in the last 10 years and nobody did anything in those times. Where were the Democrats who are the so called champions on this issue? My opinion :In the pockets of special interests and lobbyists with their Republican colleagues.

Where is the media calling them out on this? Don’t they know that $4 trillion is about a third of our national debt? Or are they oblivious to it, or do they want to be oblivious to it? Where is the reporting that a lot of the waste comes from fraud which is not tackled at all in both plans!

And where is the media catching out the Republican plan ? They have the cheek to say that their plan costs ½ as much as the Democrats and covers 1/10th the amount of people? And that is comparing it with the Democratic plan that seemed to be made by kindergarten politicians.

It really pains me that over 500 people in Washington DC cannot get something as crucial as this done! If they cannot do healthcare reform, how are they going to do social security reform?

10)Health care bill to be passed in a responsible manner. Health care is one of the most important things affecting America. We cannot have a Republican attitude of ignoring this threat, nor can we have the Democrats manner of just getting a bill passed.

9)Terror to me quashed. The recent terrorist miss by the Nigerian tells us that the threat is still there. We must take it by the horns. We must succeed in Afghanistan. Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea and especially Pakistan too are other high risk areas to watch out for.

8)Financial reforms to be passed. We experienced a 2009 of recovery. But we must learn from our mistakes or we would have a lot more 2008 than we have to. Lets regulate Credit Default Swaps, short selling and other forms of derivatives. If these do not go unchecked, we can expect to pay a price.

7)Banking reform to be passed. Banking, together with the housing sector was what ultimately crumbled the economy. Casino banking should only happen with the banks’ own money! We cannot allow banks to gamble around with our savings to the point the government have to bail them out to secure our money!

6)Lets get immigration reform. For God’s sake, lets have fortifications along our both our borders! What are we, sub Saharan Africa where we have no money to build a proper fence or a wall? Common! Also lets just throw the illegal immigrants back to Mexico, rather than paying for them to be in jail.

5)Look after our environment! There are many IDIOTS out there that doubt global warming just like they doubt that the Earth is billions of years old and not thousands. Just because we are experiencing a cold snap right now, it does not mean that the temperature is not rising. That does not mean that we should tax on Carbon; we need regulations. We need the trees back and we need regulations that would make emissions lower rather than taxing that.

4)UNITED states of America; not Conservatistan or Liberaland. Please, lets have the Governor Jesse Ventura spirit amongst us. Lets not give a crap about unions or small government. Lets just do what is right!

3)Control our debt!!!! We are having a $11 trillion national debt, a vast majority of it which we accumulated in the last 30 years. We need to get it done. Lets spend where we need to and cut it in cases where we do not. Let the Bush tax cuts expire please, for the sake of our future generations.

2)Lets start manufacturing again. We need to start making things again in America. Else we are going to have a turbulent, jobless future. Lets start with green jobs please! That is the kind of job that would never leave!

1)America resurges again! I am sick and tired of people saying China and India are surging and future big shots. Do you know what? We put them there! I challenge America right now, that we would be the economy that the world turns to.

They always say “We have got to put off illegal immigration as we have got to take care of the issue of health-care first.” “ The economy is the most important and we should discuss the ACES bill at a later time.” But do you know what kind of bill is now the hot topic in Congress…?

Un-freaking-believable! We are wasting time in the Congress talking about making TV ads lower in volume. Yes I am that serious. A Californian Representative, Representative Anna Eshoo, thinks it is too annoying, and something needs to be done about it. Guess this is Representative Eshoo’s idea of Christmas gift!

What the hell (I wanted to use another four letter word)! What are we going to talk about next? Regulating the army against the oompa-loompa invasion in the future? Must we regulate bicycles just in case ET needs to use one of them to fly?

On the topic of annoyance, can we regulate about babies crying on planes? Can we please stop having movies with blue people; where is the creativity man; Smurfs, X-men, Avatar? Can we ban the swinging gate maneuver that the Redskins played against the Giants?

This is utterly ridiculous! Seriously, worried about ads? Is this of the utmost emergency? Can we knock some Governor Jesse Ventura sense into Congress. We cannot get any health care work done, but we can spend hours about this bull crap! Are we electing idiots?

Whenever a bill comes about; these politicians whine about not given enough time to read bills in time to vote when we do the same thing and comment about it, we should remind them about this rubbish!

The healthcare debate should have been over months ago. It should have been wrapped up in three months. We should have solved the issues concerning illegal immigration, the ACES bill and an education reform bill by now.

But no! Rather than having the efficiency of the military, we are having theatrics of a soap opera instead. It is fun to watch, but very painful to realize that this is the body that is running our country! Why, why is this happening only in our America? I think the answer to that question would be the savior of our future generations.

The political threat to our country is very real. It seems to be heading to a political implosion. On the one hand there are the Republicans who is being taken over by the nutty right wing led by crazy woman from Alaska, and the Democrats that are so pathetic and politically dumb led by weakness and chief, President Obama.

Enough is enough! We have get down and get issues straight and start solving them. Please knock some sense into your member of Congress!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now being bombarded with attacks from the Republicans on his comment “linking” slavery and the health care bill. What I would like to see, is the mettle of the Leader of the Democrats in the Senate, a good indicator for the future.

This is the exact phrase he used. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said slow down, it’s too early, let’s wait, things aren’t bad enough.” Now this phrase has brought about a tirade of Republican opposition to it. RNC Chairman Michael Steele has demanded an apology. Others have gone down a path of bashing, with even CNN’s David Gergen, one of television’s most respected pundits, slamming this statement.

This exposes a media double standard. When Republicans do something rough, everybody expects it to be so. When Republicans say that this Health care deal would pull the plug out of grandma, everybody was okay with it. When Governor Sarah Palin and company still has the cheek to come out and question the citizenship of President Obama, it is okay.

But when Leader Reid comes about and say that delaying health care reform is the same as delaying the abolishment of slavery, it becomes a big deal. I think this saga, along with the fact that the Tea Baggers who represent 5%pf our population gets a ton more coverage than the Public Option which is supported by 60% of the population; should shut the Conservative myth of a liberal media up.

Now, I am an Independent. I am a person that would love to see the discussion being about substance and details. I would prefer to see the discussion being set in Maine where it is more sane rather than the backdrop of the rest of the country.

But that is not how American politics work. If there are drawbacks of having a democratic system, this is it. Of course it is also fun to watch! It is the reason we are doing sites like this, to showcase our point of view in a sea of mess.

In this case, it is very interesting to see how Leader Reid is going to react to the barrage of Republican criticism. So far, he has stuck to his statement, but appear to be hushing it. This to me is the significance of Democratic weakness. Democrats shy away from a fight, Republicans take it up by its horns no matter how stupid it sounds.

To save his election next year, this is what he should do. Focus the media attention on himself. Reiterate the statement that not doing anything about this is the same as not doing anything about slavery. He is not entirely wrong, as health care would bankrupt our country by 2016 if nothing is done about it as soon as possible. The urgency is there. He should declare that. He should expose the Republican’s plan and the fact that it only covers 2 million uninsured Americans.

That is how the game should be played. But do you think he would do that? No. the reason is that Democrats are dumb! The only Democrat that knows how to fight back is Senator Alan Grayson. A good example is the “rape” bill. That is the most obvious thing for the Democrats to have pounced on, say that the Republicans voted for “rape” while Democrats voted to protect rape victims. Sounds unfair, but that is how the game is played.

Too bad for the Democrats, they do not know how to do it. Anyway, Leader Reid is an ass of a lawmaker anyway. He is way too far left and is not fit to lead a body in the Senate. His loss next year, and I predict that he will, may be devastating to the Democrats, but is inconsequential to the rest of us.
