Opposers of 0bama Care do not oppose health care reform, they oppose legislation that will lead to government take-over of another of our priveleges. If legislators really want to bring down costs and make insurance more affordable and attainable to the 'uninsured', tort reform must be part of any serious bill. If they are truly for the people, they will bind themselves to the same health care 'reform' that they intend to force upon the people......otherwise, they are liars and only interested in more govenment control of the masses.

I do believe these left wingers live in a reverse reality, sort of like Wonderland where red is blue and green is yellow. A delusional make believe world. And the mainstream media are thier enablers. It's great to see that more and more independants are waking up and noticing this.

All of these citizens who want an improvement to our flailing and failing health care system are just the same as the ignorant and uneducated dupes being used by the insurance industry to kill any efforts to give those same dupes an affordable health plan.
