Politics as Usual?

Massachusetts Democrats are playing politics again as usual. With the death to Ted Kennedy, Democrats in Massachusetts as trying to change the law THEY passed only five years ago to prevent Mitt Romney from ever appointing a Senate seat if one became vacant.  Now that they have a Democratic Governor and are wanting to pass health care, they don't think they need to stick with the law they passed.  Typical Democrats! Just like the taxes they want us to pay but some many of them don't pay.

At the time, Democratic Sen. John Kerry was running for president and Massachusetts had a Republican governor, Mitt Romney. Proponents of changing the law argued that a gubernatorial appointment was undemocratic and that only voters should decide on a replacement. Democrats also feared Mr. Romney would appoint a Republican.

A Democratic Blame Game?

Yet another example of Democrats blaming Republicans when people on the left are the real culprit.

“Obama’s Mother of All Political Lies.”

I'm finally back from vacation and wow how things have intensified in the health care debate in the two weeks I was gone. No plan was passed as we expected prior to the August recess but now the Democrats are running around calling all of us who oppose socialized health care UnAmerican and even Nazis. I believe this is only the beginning of an uprising of American citizens that began with the Tea Party's. American citizens are fed up with politicians thinking they are better than us, that they don't answer to their constituents, and that those who disagree are dumb, racists, UnAmerican, etc.

Democrats Vote Against Health Care Amendment

Watching Fox News and I hear that panel Democrats voted against a health care amendment that stated no one from the government could tell a doctor how to do their job (rough translation). Not a single Democrat voted for this amendment. If the government has the ability to tell doctors the type of treatment they must give, we can say goodbye to thousands of doctors. Furthermore, what will happen to the thousands of Catholic hospitals across this country. Are they now going to be forced to give abortion on-demand? As of now, Democrats wont put a provision in the bill for doctors to object based on religious beliefs. Some conservative Democrats are standing up for language excludes abortion from any government ran health care. They are saying they:

cannot support any health care reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan.

Is Health Care Really a "Rigt"?

What would the founding fathers say about health care being a "right?" What would they say about the increasing size of government? There was a reason why the 10th amendment was added to the Bill of Rights. The founding fathers did not want the federal government to grow to big.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

We now have a government that owns a car company, has billions invested in the banking system, and now wants to step into the health care business. Where will it stop?

The house is ready to declare that health care is a "right." This is even as the American support government run health care is rapidly decreasing. Not only will they declare health care a right, it will cost the American tax payer 1.5 TRILLION dollars.

The liberal-leaning plan lacked figures on total costs, but a House Democratic aide said the total bill would add up to about $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

So Much for 8% Unemployment

So much for that 8% unemployment that the President and Democrats were predicting if the stimulus bill passed. Unemployment is currently at 9.5% and all predictions point to about 11% unemployment. It would not surprise me see it rise even higher than that will all the new taxes that are going to be placed on small businesses through Cap-and-Tax and the Health Care Bill. Obama is now saying, "My expectation is that we will probably continue to see unemployment tick up for several months."
