I blame “Independent” voters for this mess!
Posted by: The BoBo // Category: America, Congress, Conservative, Democrats, Elections, Idiots, Liberals, Politics, government, health care
As most should all know by now – the Dems passed that idiotic health care bill in the Senate this morning.
The good news is it still has to go to reconciliation to combine the House and Senate bills – which – it appears there could be some serious obstacles to getting this thing passed. The bad news is that Pelosi and Reid are going to do it behind closed doors. What ever happened to transparency? Let’s hope there will be enough outraged Dems this time around that will refuse to allow this closed door policy to pass.
But – given all things – the only ones to blame for this mess are those so-called “Independent” voters who are always in the middle of the road – afraid to commit. During this last election everyone knew how the left was going to vote and everyone knew, pretty much, how the right was going to vote – either McCain or some other conservative candidate. The reason Obama won was because of those so-called “Independent” voters, sometimes called “Swing Voters.”
We really can’t blame Obama or the Dems in the majority of both the house and the senate. They are doing exactly as many of us warned the country they would do. They are moving this country in the absolute wrong direction – towards socialism and a complete government takeover of this country. If the healthcare bill passes – the government will control 49% of the economy and all GDP. If they pass the Cap-and-Trade bill next year – the government will control 62% of the economy and all of GDP.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Myself and many other bloggers out there were constantly sounding the alarm on Obama before the election and warned of the dangers of allowing the Dems a supermajority. But – we were called nutjobs, idiots, and talk radio zombies by the left and those “independents.” If there is anyone to blame for all of this mess that our country now faces it is because of those idiots who now have buyer’s remorse for voting for Obama. We warned you guys and now we’re stuck with this bullshit because of dipshits like yourself.
This is politics – there is no middle ground. You have to take a side in politics. It is either Yes or No. A vote of “present” or “abstain” is not a vote. Either you consider yourself liberal and vote for liberalism – or you are a conservative and you vote for conservatism, or you are libertarian and vote out government all together. You idiots in the middle are the problem in this country. At least we know what liberals, libertarians, and conservatives stand for. You guys in the middle stand for nothing. You guys in the middle are weak and non-committal. What we see now is the result of standing in the middle of the road. Our economy is trashed because of Obama and the Democrats, our housing market is trashed because of liberal policies, and now health care in this country will be trashed because of liberalism – and the only one’s to blame are you independent boneheads who voted for Obama even after you were warned constantly and consistently by those of us on the right.
This entire health care “crisis” is manufactured. There is NO health care crisis in this country. 90% of this country has insurance (270 million – that is the total population 300 Mil less the 30 mil uninsured). Of the 30 million uninsured – 10 million are already eligible for some form of coverage, either medicaid, medicare, or schip – they just haven’t applied. Another 8 million are between the ages of 18 – 30 that CHOOSE not to buy insurance, and another 2 million make $75k or above and CHOOSE not to purchase insurance. What this leaves is 10 million in the million who want insurance but either can’t afford it or don’t qualify for the other programs. This means that effectively 97% of this country either has insurance or choose not to buy insurance. Of the 90% who do have insurance – 85% are satisfied with their insurance. So – essentially – only 18% (15% unhappy with their coverage plus the remaining 3% who can’t get insurance) of this entire country has a problem with our current system. So, what this means is that the catalyst behind this so called health insurance crisis in this country is the result of 54 million people out of 300 million. That, my friends, does not constitute a crisis serious enough to warrant a complete government takeover of our health care and our country. If this were truly a health care reform bill meant to drive down the costs of health care – WE WOULDN’T NEED INSURANCE!!!!
You independent idiots bought in to the lies and now the rest of the country suffers because of your idiocy. Thanks for nothing! Now – go grow some balls and pick a side and stay with it.

It’s a sad day indeed. The majority of American’s don’t want this bill. We all agree that health care needs reform, but not like this.May you and yours have a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

TAKE YOUR SHARE
Build a prosperous nation and the world will beat a path to your door in order to share that prosperity. For there to be an equitable share, two things must happen. First, the governing system of the prosperous nation must change. Second, the means of creating prosperity must cease. This happened in America. The people elected a criminal enterprise to manage their economy, and worshipped those who wanted to share in the nation’s prosperity as their rulers. Organized crime settled in Washington, D.C. to spread the wealth for their followers. Their leader has assumed the mantle of Messiah, the great redistributor to the world, the elite of elites who shall rule. The world will be pleased with their gifts and the creators of prosperity chained, never to rise again, until the treasure disappears. It will then be the will of the world to find another nation to plunder, and another Messiah to follow. Such is the way of the world, which, until now, was never the way of the New World.

GO TO PERSON
Every family should have a “go to” person who can give answers to political and issue concerns, as suggested by Rush Limbaugh. Learning how means starting at the roots, the beginnings and differences between two sides of the same coin, which is all there is. One side is long established, where the few rule the many, irrespective of their labels. The other side is the newest, that of individual freedom and limited government. Why do many follow each side, and why the conflict between them? What side do current issues come from, such as health care, cap and trade as well as amnesty for illegal immigrants? What side of the coin most impacts the lives of your family, to whom you provide the answers? Call up claysamerica.com for the roots of both sides and improve your understanding of the issues so you have the answers. Claysamerica.com

Hey BoBo,Well, it’s a long and complicated post, so it’s going to be a long and complicated reply.”What ever happened to transparency?”It’s an ancient Etruscan word that translates as, “I’m only telling you now becauseit’s too late for you to do anything about it.”"They are moving this country in the absolute wrong direction – towards
socialism and a complete government takeover of this country.”Okay, now I’m not going to delve into a debate about Socialism VS Capitalism (In brief my position is that no one system is right for every problem and so a blend is usually best) but I’d like to know how exactly do you call what Obamaco are doing “Socialism” when they pretty much seem to be hellbound to turn huge chunks of money over to a trainload of major corporations with no meaningful attempts to make said corporations behave in any way that is the least bit responsible or ethical? I’m serious. When Limbaugh and his cronies trot this crap out I dismiss them as a bunch of morons. But even though I generally don’t agree with you on many things I have found you to be thoughtful and intelligent. So I’m truly curious when Obama’s actions have been about giving corporations more freedom and control and people less, how does that equal Socialism to you?”Our economy is trashed because of Obama and the Democrats,”Sorry, I have to call bullshit on this one. To lay this merely at the feet of Obama is to ignore the last several decades of history. In brief,Usury laws gutted under Carter.Corporate welfare and trickle down economics under Reagan.The first move back towards a state of perpetual war under Bush Sr.The creation of “bubbles” designed to create short term benefits with no hope of long term sustainability under Clinton.The continuation and acceleration of deregulation in all sectors by Bush Jr., plus even more corporate welfare, militarism etc.And here comes Obama to carry on. Including bailing out businesses that sold dodgy financial “products” and bet on which ones would fail, and over seeing the creation of legislation that is on track to criminalize not giving your money to the bloated and dangerous insurance industry.”This entire health care “crisis” is manufactured.”Hmm. Okay, tell that to the people who get their insurance canceled out from underneath them because they dare to use it. Tell it to the people who insurance companies hire private detectives to research to find anything that looks even remotely like an undisclosed alleged prior existing condition so they can not only cancel them but then sue them for any monies paid out. Tell it to people who have a choice of risking their lives hoping they can get to an in network care provider or using something closer and paying out of pocket. Or the large numbers of people who are filing for bankruptcy because of medical expenses, many of whom had insurance.”If this were truly a health care reform bill meant to drive down the costs of health care – WE WOULDN’T NEED INSURANCE!!!!”Now on this point I will agree with you. Personally I would have been content if the bill had stripped insurance companies of their anti-trust exemptions, did away with denials for pre-existing conditions, and ended lifetime and/or annual coverage limits. That would have been some serious reform and would have been enough for me to be more at peace with the individual mandate.Bottom line this bill is not even close to Socialism. It is the equivalent of holding a gun to working class Americans heads and making them empty their pockets so the insurance companies can pick through and take what they wish. And the sick part is that in a few years once the Unsurance Sindustry’s lobbyists and pet legislators are done enlarging the loopholes and neutering what little protection there is for people, most of us will be paying for policies that we don’t dare use. Kind of like what’s been going on for years since they made auto insurance mandatory.Take care,Roy F. Tottie

I certainly oppose certain features tat you have written.Basically this bill is good for Medicare and Medicare enrollees and what these bills do is they really try to make progress.Entrepreneurs need lower costs and they need flexibility,whose group opposes the Senate bill. “In this economy, it’s all about the bottom line.”
