Compromise Health Care Bill

Some news organizations are calling the latest reiteration of the health care bill a compromise. I suppose either words don't mean what they used to mean or these reporters simply don't know how to use words correctly. For the to be a compromise there has to be an alternative presented. The problem is that the House of Representatives have not even allowed the republicans in on the meetings to help craft the bill. They are getting no alternative views. They are simply presenting and promoting what they want.

Have they changed the bill from their first absurd offering? No! They have not changed what they're offering. At least they haven't really taken anything out of it. They've reworded some of what they had in the bill and added a lot more to it, but they haven't really taken a single thing out of the bill at all.

Our non-representing representatives have not added a single thing into the bill that they were hearing from the tea parties. It is as if they didn't hear a single word we were saying. Personally I find myself as much offended and angered by this as their arrogant aristocratic attitude. I know that I am not alone in this. It would seem there are several important elections about to happen. It may be that congress is waiting to see what happens with those votes to determine just how serious we are about getting rid of those in congress not doing the will of the people. For the most part this means all of them. AT this point nothing would make me happier than if everyone that went to the polls simply refused to vote for the incumbent. It is almost certain that no matter who we got in there they wouldn't do a worse job and they'd also be on notice that we can get rid of them as well if they don't look out for our interests.

The health care bill being presented to us by our non-representing representatives is anything but a compromise. They are determined to force the public "option" on us. They are ever so careful in the terms they use. I suppose they think if they call it an option it will give us the impression that we actually can have a choice. The reality is that even if we choose to keep our current plan the bill states we can only do that till something, anything, changes in that plan and then we can't keep it. What company can possible keep everything the same forever. They cannot compete if they can't change with the market. The very premise of this is so ridiculous it isn't funny and I mean it ISN'T funny! What kind of an option is that? I suppose it's as much of an option as the bill is a compromise.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again vote the bums out of office. Of course because they are my non-representing representatives my person favorites are, in no special order, Barbie Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey. Beside Obama there are probably no more liberal representatives than these three... Oh and of course Pelosi and Reid, but then that goes without saying. How did we get so many communist and Marxist loving non-representatives? How did we let ourselves vote the people in office? Worse still how come we keep voting them back in office. Do the people really want communism that much? Do the American people really not know what communism will mean to them in their daily lives? Do they really believe that everyone just gives up all their extra freely? Have they not looked at how it's worked out in other countries? If they are so excited about communism as a form of government they want then why not just go some place that already has it?

Maybe some of you are thinking if you don't like the way it turns out you can just change it back. Once again I encourage you to go to history. There is hardly a single example of a nation that has turned communist that has simply been able to change their mind and go back to something less oppressive. This is the reason we have checks and balances. The problem is that the lines of power have been blurred and many of those checks and balances are gone now. If the rest fail we will not simply be able to get them back.

Consider carefully then who you vote back into office for you may find that you can not turn the clock back nor can you simply change your mind and have things go back the way they were before. It is rather like unraveling knitting, it is much easier to pull out all the knots than to put them back.

People like Pelosi, Reid, Barbara Boxer, Lynn Woolsey, Diane Feinstein, and their ilk must be kicked out of congress if we are to get our republic back.
