They Will Say And Do Anything To Takeover Health Care
Mar 7, 2010 Political
Barack Obama and the Democrats are so entrenched in their desire to takeover our health care they will do anything to pass something, anything, and get it signed before the November elections. The Democrats believe that they know what is best for us and that once anything is passed we will learn to like it. They have gone so far as to consider parliamentary maneuvers in order to pass legislation that will takeover one-sixth of the US economy.
They have abandoned their past beliefs in order to push this albatross through. Barack Obama, a proud proponent of the public option, has abandoned that issue in order to get any bill passed. The abortion issue is causing distress among Democrats in the House and the general distrust the House has for the Senate is causing angst in the House as members are apprehensive about voting for a Senate bill that could then be signed into law without major differences being addressed. Part of this is because the Democrats are circumventing the system. If they did it correctly, the way in which it was intended, then they would not have to worry about being screwed.
There are also concerns about the Constitutionality of the bill. The bill requires everyone to purchase insurance. This is simply unconstitutional as our government has no right to force us to purchase a product. In fact, Obama was against the mandates when he was trying to beat Hillary Clinton for the nomination:
“The reason she thinks that there are more people covered under her plan than mine, is because of a mandate. It is not a mandate for the government to provide coverage to everybody. It is a mandate that every individual purchase health care. And the mailing that we put out accurately indicates that the main difference between Senator Clinton’s plan and mine is the fact that she would force, in some fashion, individuals to purchase health care ….” YouTube
Mandates were not good when Hillary was in favor of them. Now Obama is in favor of them. The Democrats will do and say anything and will change their positions just to get something passed. They wrongly believe that if they do not get this passed it will be bad for them.
The truth is the November elections will be bad for them no matter what but a majority of people are opposed to this plan and are opposed to the way the Democrats are pushing it through, despite what the Democrats say about it. It would have been better for Obama and the Democrats to take Republicans up on the offer to start over with a blank piece of paper and write a bill on which both sides could agree. This would have shown a true willingness to have bipartisan input and would have given Democrats a leg to stand on with the public.
Instead, they are pushing through something that most do not like and have added a few sprinklings of Republican ideas in order to give the appearance of bipartisanship.
Democrats could save seats that might otherwise be lost by cooperating with the minority party. Instead, they continue to give Republicans ammunition to use during the campaign season. Whether this passes or not, Republicans have ammo. If it passes they can claim that the Democrats rammed through unpopular legislation in order to push an agenda. If it does not pass, Republicans can claim they stopped the unpopular legislation from being rammed through.
If the Democrats had started over and Republicans continued to block the legislation then the Democrats could claim the moral high ground and say it does not matter how hard they try, the Republicans obstruct. If the negotiations went through the next election Democrats could claim they are making progress and need their majority to keep the process from being derailed.
Instead, they have painted themselves into a corner and will pay dearly in November.
Voters can see that Democrats are willing to do and say anything to ram through legislation that is opposed by a majority of people, albeit for different reasons.
November will be a bloodbath for Democrats and many from districts and states that are not blue will pay a heavy price for supporting legislation pushed by leaders in safe seats who have no worries about losing their jobs.
The leaders do not care because they will do anything to get this passed. They must in order to continue with their takeover of our lives.
Remember, America will only remain the land of the free so long as it remains the home of the brave.
And it will take a few brave Democrats to push back against this monstrosity.

Obama Back Peddling On Change
Nov 26, 2008 Political
Barack Obama has been hailed as the second coming of the Lord himself and is the messiah to the Democratic party. He arrived on the scene with his mantra of Hope and Change and people lined up to get a second helping of Kool Aid. Barack Obama promised everyone that, if elected, his administration would bring change to Washington and that there would be no more of the business as usual.
Obama is so set on change that when he was in the primary campaign against Hillary Clinton he said that she would be more of the same. He said that electing Hillary would not amount to change because she was part of the old Washington establishment. No one except Obama himself would amount to change because all the others have been part of the problem in DC and you should only pick them if you want more of the same.
But a funny thing happened on the way to sainthood. After Obama had won the primary nomination he started to do things that were contrary to what he had been preaching for nearly 2 years.The kooks on the left who supported him were beginning to get a little worried but they continued to support him because they knew he was only moving to the middle in order to get elected, or so they thought. Though it is true that liberals always pretend to be moderates in order to get elected (they cannot get elected adhering to their far left philosophy), Obama seems not to have returned to his far left roots, at least when it comes to his selections.
The whole “no more DC as usual” shtick began to unravel when Obama selected Joe Biden to be his running mate. Biden has been in DC for 36 years so he is well embedded in the ways of DC. He is in no way an example of change. He is not new and he is not the “change we need.”
The nervous left embraced Biden because he has experience. The left knows that Obama has a paper thin resume and that he is in way over his head. They are worried that they are getting someone who has no idea what he is doing but they were so desperate to win that they placed this desire above the welfare of the country. So the left gives Obama a pass on Biden with regard to change because he has experience.
After Obama won the general election he started picking people to serve in his administration and no one he selected was new. All of them have DC experience and nearly all of them are retreads from the Clinton administration. Obama promised change but he has not demonstrated that which he preached.
Obama has even opted to keep the current Secretary of Defense much to the disgust of the left who do not view anything Bush as change. But the selection that sums it all up is the one of Hillary to be Secretary of State. Obama said that Hillary was part of the problem, old school, an insider and not an agent of change. So he selects her to be part of his administration.
For those of you who actually believed this hack. For those of you who were wandering around like a zombie repeating Hope and Change. For those of you who thought things were going to be different and that Obama was going to keep his word. Here is what he had to say about change:
“What we are going to do is combine experience with fresh thinking,” Mr Obama said at his third press conference in as many days. He said he would be foolish, at such a “critical time in our history”, to pick people who “had no experience in Washington whatsoever”.
He added: “What I don’t want to do is somehow suggest that because you somehow served in the last [Clinton]administration you are barred from serving again.” Times Online UK
Barack Obama ran for 2 years on the idea that we needed to bring change to DC and that the same old ways would not work and now he is saying that it would be foolish who had no experience in Washington. Sometimes, out of the mouths of babes comes a nugget of wisdom. While the left is upset that Obama is not bringing change they are ignoring the fact that he called them all fools.
He said that it would be foolish to pick people who had no experience in DC. Barack Obama has no experience in DC. He has worked 143 days there and he has accomplished next to nothing. Obama has no experience whatsoever.
But he had enough to fool all the suckers who voted for him. Change?
Right and I have this bridge I am interested in selling…

Students Of America Display Obama’s Arrogance
Nov 1, 2008 Political
I think they exposed his inexperience and his propensity to say whatever needs to be said in order to win. This is who is set to be president. Don’t say you were not warned.
I do have great hope since students produced this. I only hope Obama does nto have them marhed off to reeducation camps…..
I particularly like the end part where they show Obama changing positions after he says he would not do it…
I guess that is what he means by change. He just hopes you won’t notice.

Obama Is Not Hiding His Socialist Plans
Oct 13, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama is riding higher than John Sidney McCain in the national polls and the Electoral vote favors Obama at the present. This can change but the Democrats are so confident that Barry will win they are making plans to recall Congress after the election to put through legislation that would be politically dangerous if they did it prior to the November election. They are so confident that Obama will win that even the messiah himself is not hiding his desire to impose Socialism on this country.
Obama was in Ohio knocking on doors when he was confronted by an overtaxed man who asked if Obama’s plan was going to cost him more in taxes. Obama told the man that he [Obama] did not want to punish his hard work but that he believed in spreading the wealth around:
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Fox
This is nothing more than Socialism. Take money from those who are earning it and give it to those who are earning less (or nothing). Obama is not even hiding the fact that his plan is nothing more than income redistribution and it is Socialism.
Obama is so confident that he is going to win that he is now embracing plans that he earlier criticized. He is so confident that he is in negotiations with Democratic leaders in the Congress to push through legislation that will cost us billions of dollars on top of the nearly one trillion dollars spent to bail out Wall Street. And Obama is not finished. He has proposed nearly one trillion more in new spending. He is on a roll and he now believes that nothing short of another terrorist attack in the US can keep him from winning.
Barack Obama is now changing positions with greater frequency and saying things that people want to hear. He thinks he has this election in the bag but he wants an electoral landslide because he believes this will be a mandate for his plans. We need to ensure that he does not win.
It won’t be easy. He paid ACORN nearly one million dollars to engage in voter fraud. Obama knows how ACORN works because he was once very closely associated with that organization though he denies it now. He knows they register dead people and then others vote in that person’s name. He knows that ACORN registers incapacitated and incarcerated people and then others vote for them. They have registered hundreds of thousands of people and many of those registrations were fraudulent. Obama paid them to do this.
During Obama’s door to door campaigning The One encouraged Democrats to vote now. Ohio offers early voting and the window to do so is now open and Obama is encouraging people to vote now. This would be to his advantage because if something bad comes up in the next few weeks then some people will not be able to use that information to vote. It is not smart to vote early.
October surprises can happen right before election day and Obama is aware of a few things that could cause him problems.
A Democrat might be the reason for the October surprise.
Florida, Michigan, Illegal Donations – Change To Believe In
Aug 4, 2008 Political
Barack Obama is a man who will say or do anything to win. He has changed many of his positions over the last few months in order to move toward the center. It is amazing that politicians always move to the center in order to win but never figure that they should stay there because that is what people voted for. It seems that the Change you can believe in happens to be his positions. Just this past week he changed to “in favor of” drilling. Well, it gets even better.
Obama is now saying that the delegates from Florida and Michigan should count. He was opposed to allowing those votes when Hillary Clinton would get most of them because he did not have his name on the ballot. Obama believed it would not be fair to allow Clinton to get the lion’s share of the delegates when her name was the only one on the ballot and he had a point. However, now that her name will not be up for nomination in Denver, he wants the delegates from those states to be able to have full voting rights. If his argument was that Hillary did not deserve them because his name was not on the ballot then why does he deserve them at this point in time? After all, his name was not on the ballot so he could not have earned any of them but now he is willing to accept all of them. They say it is for party unity but I bet this will further infuriate the Hillary supporters.
Barack Obama has made two statements that might not sit well with his base. He now supports drilling thus placing many of the obstructionist Democrats in a tight spot and he now favors allowing full votes for the Florida and Michigan delegates which will likely infuriate Hillary supporters. It would seem that the Messiah is having a bad week and now Rasmussen shows McCain with a slight lead.
And all this before the stuff hits the fan about the illegal foreign donations that Obama has been accepting. [Atlas Shrugs] Now you know why Obama put the hold on filling the empty FEC position.
This guy embodies Chicago politics. I HOPE this will be his undoing.
