Preview Of Government Run Health Care
Oct 9, 2009 Political
It has been stated that if you like the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Post Office then you will love Obamacare. The government cannot run anything efficiently and there will be lines and denied claims (Medicare is the biggest denier of claims) so the question is why do some want the government involved in health care?
In Detroit word got out that government was giving away $3000 to people in order to help them make ends meet. This is part of the stimulus (if the stimulus worked these people would not need the money). Chaos ensued, fights broke out and people were mobbing the place.
Imagine what it will be like when they can get free health care.
This is a picture from the Detroit handout. Just think, if Obama gets his way this could be your doctor’s office.
This is the one page “Small Bill” proposed by Republicans. It is much better.

A Great Idea To Defeat Obamacare
Aug 26, 2009 Political
Hugh Hewitt has a post up with a great idea for defeating Obamacare:
Stopping Obamacare: $10 for Tark
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 7:42 PM
People are always asking me how to help beat Obamacare.
Of course I send them to the petition and ask that they find 10 other people to join as well. We’d like to get to 1.5 million signers before we take it to D.C. in September.
Now I see that the very reputable Mason Dixon pollsters have Harry Reid trailing his only announced GOP opponent, former UNLV hoopster Danny Tarkanian, by 11 points.
Here’s Danny Tarkanian’s campaign website.
Send him $10 and send Harry Reid an e-mail promising much more support for Danny T. if Obamacare passes.
That’s a message that will be received loud and clear.
UPDATE: 91 e-mails (many with e-receipts from the Tark campaign) telling me that the sender had made a “$10 for Tark” contribution –in twenty minutes. If a few other talkers/bloggers help spread the idea, I think Senator Reid will start thinking long and hard about what Obamacare is going to cost him.
E-mail your friends and ask them to join the campaign.
UPDATE 2: An e-mail:
What this country needs,,,
Is a good $10 idea. Actually I would spend more. Just finished my donation to Tark, but need a link to Reid.What a marvelous idea. Will be send this one around, believe me. ! ! !
GayPatriot links, and the viral spiral begins.
To e-mail Senator Reid, go here.
Big Dog’s take:
This is a great idea. This will show Harry Reid exactly how people feel and it will make him reconsider his position on Obamacare. He will have a very tough political decision to make. I think he will start thinking about reelection and abandon Obamacare.
In any case, the money will help to defeat him. That will be one less rat to worry about in the Senate.
Big Dog Salute to GM Roper

Congressman Kratovil And The Big Lie
Aug 11, 2009 Political
Frank Kratovil is a Democrat who rode the Obama wave and used left wing funding to win a traditionally Republican seat in Maryland’s First District. Kratovil champions himself a Blue Dog Democrat but he voted for the Cap and Trade bill and he is now pushing Obamacare. In other words, Kratovil is toeing the party line. To be fair, he did vote against some of the spending but on the biggest and most costly items, he is not the Blue Dog he claims to be.
Kratovil was at a town hall meeting where 250 people attended and he was pushing the party agenda for health care overhaul. Contrary to what Pelsoi and Hoyer (and the rest of the Democrats) claim about people who are at these things being un American and starting trouble, te crowd was behaved and allowed Kratovil to speak. The problem is, Kratovil is a liar.
I called his office ( I think it was the Friday that the House went into recess) and spoke to one of his staff. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the health care overhaul and told her that Kratovil should consider supporting less intrusive measures to improve on our system and that I would be happy to discuss them with him. I also informed her that Kratovil won by a very small margin (3000 votes)* and that he would be in trouble in the next election.
She told me that Congressman Kratovil had not made up his mind on the health care issue and that he was keeping an open mind and listening to people. Unfortunately, it appears that this was a brush off line used for those who oppose the plan. You see, Kratovil is now out supporting the plan. The Wall Street Journal article describing the meeting shows that krRATovil was there to support the measure. He did not have an open mind and he while he might have listened to all opinions, he certainly is not paying much attention to them.
While playing the Christian in the lions’ den is nobody’s idea of a good time, Mr. Kratovil took his ordeal in stride. He knew that he didn’t change anyone’s mind about supporting ObamaCare or other items on the agenda in Washington, but he did gain a few grudging admirers merely for facing the onslaught. “Listening to constituents is a big part of my job,” Mr. Kratovil told me. “This is part of the democratic process.”
Kratovil said that he did not change minds. Since many there opposed the plan it is fair to say that he was trying to get them to support it, something his staffer said he had not decided upon. Kratovil has a nice sound bite in saying it is his job to listen to constituents and this is true but he is not supposed to ignore them. He is also not supposed to have his staff lie to them when they call his office.
Kratovil got lucky in the last election. He had the popularity of Obama on his side and RINO Congressman Wayne Hilchrest endorsed him. Gilchrest lost the primary to a much better man in Andy Harris and then displayed sour grapes, and showed why he is a RINO, by endorsing Kratovil. This led to Gilchrest supporters voting for the Democrat.
The election of 2008 is behind us and now Kratovil has to deal with 2010 on his own. The people of Maryland’s First District know they were sold a bill of goods and that Kratovil is not a Blue Dog but a lap dog for Obama and the Democrat’s policies of failure.
I worked very hard to see Gilchrest defeated. If he had won I would have voted for Kratovil because if we were going to have a liberal in office we might as have a real one. Kratovil will be ripe for the picking in 2010 because the District is a conservative one and it knows it was had by a con artist.
I predict that Kratovil will be a one term member of Congress. I think Andy Harris will run again and if he does I believe he will thrash Kratovil in the general election. I could be wrong, (I was in the last election) but I don’t think so.
Right about now, most any Republican would
Mr. Kratovil, if you want to talk common sense about health care reform you can contact me via my contact form and I will help you out. But rest assured, the path you are taking will be your undoing.
That and the fact that your staffer lied to me about your position.
*I inadvertantly left a zero off the number. Kratovil won by 3000 votes.
