Health Care Hijinks's...

I understand what Democrats want, socialized medicine and the end of private insurance companies. Fine. That's what they want.

However, walk through this thing;

It doesn't go into affect for several years.

Illegal immigrants will be legalized and then get covered.

There will be huge job losses as private insurers loss business.

It can't NOT increase the debt.

Companies will be all to glad to have the excuse to ditch covering people and leave it up to the government.

Is any of that actually going to sound good come election time? It's as though they are trying to give away ice cream and then tell you it is crap flavored.

I just don't get it.

I feel sorry for whomever takes the kenyans place next time around, all these bills will be comiing due on their watch.
the Kenyan will go down as the one that brought affordable health care, and the next guy/girl is going to get stuck with being the one that made it expensive.

First comes the election, THEN comes the bills. Whats to get? They think voters, unless they are directly affected, have the memory span of goldfish, and come election time, this next one, anyway, folks, since none of the bad things will have happened yet, will vote for them.

80% of Americans dont get it, but they are insisting on shoving this down our throat. We dont want it and yet we are being ignored.
It appears the Democrats have become deaf.
Cap and Trade we dont want.
Wwhat we do want is to drill for oil and become self sufficient, and That THEY dont want.

It's like they are running to get voted out.

I intend to help them get their wish, the one about voting them out.
