I am amazed what is being done to our country. We are in two wars and our economy is trashed, however, the Democrats are using this hardship to grab power by the government. Am I the only one that sees this so clearly?
To listen to the administration, it isn’t the war, terrorists, economy, but healthcare. What’s wrong with healthcare? They say it is because it isn’t completely controlled by the government. And they use the lame excuse that the economy will not recover unless the government controls it. While our military is waiting on troops for their survival and success, congress has completely turned their back on them and focusing on their pet healthcare plan as if that is the biggest concern. It is not and was not.
Now they are going on a power grab of the Internet. They are now going to tax it with the excuse to protect our children they need to police it and the new policing needs to be paid for by internet users (that means, taxpayers or in easier terms, the American people).
These reasons are too lame and it seems clear to me that the Democrats needs people to be “dependent” on them so they will be reelected. They did this with the poor and minorities starting in the 70′s and I think they are trying to include everyone. It took Bill Clinton to overturn that since only a Democrat could remove what Democrats damaged. Will we be so lucky this next time? Once they control our lives and we are dependent on them for survival, we will elect them based on their promises.
Am I wrong on this? If so, explain to me how I have become so misguided, without being insulting… just give me the facts.
jennifer, I appreciate your insight and I disagree on your opinion of “no rush to send more troops.”
Too many don’t understand that those who graduate from the war colleges aren’t simply guys that learn how to shoot. These schools are every bit as in depth as schools of physics or math. These guys are the “experts” on war… not politicians. We saw how Johnson, that thought because he was elected president had some special knowledge about war and extended our fight in Vietnam until we were defeated.
Obama has been told by his advisor and other retired generals agree, that time (rush) is important since there will be a ‘point of no return.’ It was clearly stated by McChrystal. When you don’t take “experts” advice, you act as a fool. We will lose this war based on a person that only has a degree in Law because he thinks like many football fans do… that they are just as good as the experts.
It’s simply Monday morning quarterbacking… the same charge that leveled against Johnson for losing the war.
So while I disagree with you on the above, you could be right and I could be wrong on the rush to send troop. However, as far as claiming Democrats are not Socialists, that’s nonsense. You really have to have your head in the sand to printed otherwise. This is 2009. If you want to pull out history books for a time long ago, you could make that case, but we are all living through it today and it is clear their agenda is socialism. It’s no secret, although many Democrats are ashamed of the term just like they were ashamed of the term “liberal” a number of years ago.

By Aaron Blake If House Democrats sustain major losses on Nov. 2, the health care law passed earlier this year is likely to be a big reason. The proof is in the pudding: while Republicans have been hammering away at Democratic incumbents who voted for the bill and even open seat candidates who expressed support for the legislation, Democrats have run almost no ads playing up the bill. After the …

So how can the health care industry / Big Pharma / Insurance companies be buying off the GOP when a majority of their money is going to the Dems?
So you’re saying you’re ok with being bribed? .

Health insurers flirted with Democrats, supported them with money and got what they wanted: a federal mandate that most Americans carry health care coverage. Now they’re backing Republicans, hoping a GOP Congress will mean friendlier regulations.

Democrats’ secret 4-step plan to jam public option!!! www.humanevents.com Step 1: The Senate Finance Committee must first approve the marked-up version of Sen. Max Baucus (D.-Mont.) conceptual framework. Then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) can say that two Senate Committees have passed a health care bill, which will allow him to take extraordinary steps to get the bill on the Senate floor. During the mark-up last week, members had difficulty offering amendments and trying to make constructive changed because they lacked actual legislative text and Baucus made unilateral last minute changes. For example, the AP reported that under pressure from fellow Democrats, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee decided to commit an additional $50 billion over a decade toward making insurance more affordable for working-class families. Step 2: Sen. Reid will take the final product of the Senate Finance Committee and merge it with the product of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which passed on a party-line vote in July. Usually, a bill is voted out of committee, and then the Senate takes up the final product of the committee so that all 100 senators can have a hand in the process. With some help from the Obama administration, Reid will decide what aspects of the HELP and Finance Committee bills to keep. Step 3: Now, Obamacare will be ready to hitch a ride on an unrelated bill from the House. Sen. Reid will move to proceed to HR 1586 …
