		<description>I&#039;m confused. I understand the concerns of healthcare costs, but we are going to overhaul the system to lower costs by spending billions. Billions we don&#039;t have. nutty or not I guess I can grasp the desire to improve, but where is all of this money that healthcare currently costs going? Is it providing Americans jobs? It would seem that most of this money at least stays in America and provides some jobs. The computerizing of records sounds like it moves employment from middle income to higher income technology jobs and thats assuming those jobs won&#039;t leave the country. This in a time that it would seem that the first priority is jobs. I still can&#039;t help but believe that the main question is still &quot;how much are we willing to spend on healthcare&quot;. Are we going to lower healthcare costs so we have more to spend on cell phones and flat screen TVs. It just seems we are missing the big question so we can argue about the details. If we really want to reform healthcare we must allow freemarkets to work and that means we must allow doctors and hospitals to compete in an open market and we must recognize that health insurance demonstrates the failure of the socialist economic model where the whole premise is based on somebody else paying for our cancer treatments. There would be no reason to buy insurance if we didn&#039;t think we would get a lot more out of it than what we put in. And it seems to me that the healthcare debate is really about equal access to technology, as that is what medicine is today. Otherwise we would be arguing about the high cost of bloodletting. Are we going to argue for internet access to everyone? Cell phones? Laptops? And given that healthcare technology is primarily about extending lifespans ever further, how many years will our new government be obligated to take us? 80? 90? 110? Or is it really only about making policies that make us feel better about ourselves, without much real concern about actual results. I suppose if reform results in a collapse of medical technology, then all is well, because equal access is preserved, regardless if actual healthcare quality declines. Would anyone suggest that we would have todays costs if we were still using 1950&#039;s technology? I&#039;m not sure of the answer, but I know there are a lot of issues that I don&#039;t hear a lot about in the discussion. </description>

		<description>Jamey, Central CA  
 
You are 100% right right about that!  
    
In fact, 1972 was the first Presidential election I voted in at 18 and although it was for Nixon, if nothing else that 1 vote was 1 vote more, along with most others, toward helping us prevent McGovern from having us end-up learning how to speak Russian in short order; in 1976 my vote, along with many others, wasn&#039;t enough to prevent Carter from going too far in that direction, wreck the economy, and (I remember word-for-word) blame the American people for it on nation-wide television.  
 
But 1980 and 1984 were as if enough Americans had learned their lesson about Leftist Presidential candidates, if not Congressional candidates, as most of us helped Ronald Reagan bury Carter and then Mondale in &quot;a landslide&quot; both times, despite the the efforts of even the media which had even me thinking they had Carter practically re-elected and Mondale elected. Nevertheless, thank goodness, Ronald Reagon won anway.  
 
However, ever since the election of 1988, while the Democrats have been practically unrelenting for their Leftist government elitist and statist agenda, especially since FDR, and considering the &quot;dirty little secret&quot; of RNC leadership opposition against Reagan and fellow Conservatives (which was and is at least that &quot;agreeable&quot; to the Left, but which both most Americans and Reagain overcame at least in his case), both Parties have managed to make elections 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 &quot;choices between the lesser of 2 evils&quot;, to the point now where in both Parties we have an all too similar sort of Lenins in office and controlling such as (but not limited to) both Congress and the White House. That makes each of any true Conservative Republicans very much like &quot;A voice. calling in the wilderness&quot; right now.  
 
It is truly enough to drive you, me, and countless Americans, and even our allies around the world to asking &quot;What is wrong with Americans? 
 
Indeed now, unfortunately, it is being proven too unfortunately true that both the Left&#039;s government elitist agenda, and the fact that they are in such a hurry to &quot;ram it through&quot; before people see that they will even break their own rules among themselves and break their promises to us to give themselves and us days, and longer, to see the provisions in their legislation before they vote on it, that. unfortunately for us, the people, they are thus indeed goiong about proving true the saying that &quot;The damage done in haste is soon also not possible to undo&quot;.  
 
We would do good to stop them, for not only the sake of our freedoms, resources, and security, but also the sake of those millions who would ever stay here, and those who would come here, and so altogether for the sake of our place as &quot;The last, best hope of mankind&quot; as Ronald Reagan sain. Why? Becuase after us, disagree with this or not, the fact is there will be no other place to go for such freesoms, resources, and security. </description>

		<description>I have no doubt that Universal Health Care can work. First, we encourage abortion to limit the number of new patients. Second, we limit the healthcare to the elderly. They will die earlier saving costs. Third, we run the private medical enterprises out of business. Fourth, limit access as they do in all other Universal Healthcare countries. Do we really need $650B down payment to do this? Seems like a few Executive Orders, or as I like to call them Royal Proclamations, should do the job pretty quickly. </description>

		<description>NC Mike - my old friend, I just typed out your post today. My keypad melted. 
 
I typed it backwards, hoping it would be clearer. Oddly enough I found out that the Beatles Paul McCartney is a dead ringer for himself.  
 
You signature phrase &quot;Leftist government elitists and statists&quot; becomes -  
 
&quot;stsitats dna stsiltile,  tnemnrevog tsitfel&quot; when reversed. I think its time you define the many types of &quot;ists&quot; in your lists. 
 
And I randomly used your letters and came up with WAR and PEACE. 
 
I support freedom of speech 100%. Sometimes less is more! </description>

		<description>The Obama Administration is rushing headlong to get much of its liberal agenda passed before the campaign lies catch up and his popularity wanes, which it will and soon.  Two issues high on the administration&#039;s list, and which threaten our rights, are Illegal Immigration and Gun Control.   
 
Obama may not risk the political battle just yet that would ensue over illegal immigration, but make no mistake he wants amnesty - translated Mexican votes.  He&#039;s going to get pressure from Dems in tightly contested races in heavily Mexican districts to move on such legislation soon.  One way or another Illegal Immigration is going to be on his agenda sooner rather than later. 
 
Obama surrogates are already making the same old tired arguments for reinstating the assault weapons ban.  This time the foolish argument is being made that reinstating the band would stem the flow of such arms to the drug lords in Mexico.  In the face of real statistics pointing to increased crime in every instance where the public&#039;s right to bear arms is limited, the Dems continue to press the argument for gun control. 
 
We must remain vigilant and fight to protect our ever dwindling constitutional rights.
