We just had an election in my county and only 20% of the people turned out to vote. Well if you ask me, if the people in the country don't start doing better we are just asking to have our freedoms tromped on. Get out and vote next primary, and November election and throw the bums out. Get informed and vote, or we will lose our country to the left wing liberals. Vote, Vote, Vote, get involved and vote.

I looked over the other comments and did not see anything about what I am about to say. I believe there were 39 Democrates who voted against the health care plan and I heard that some of them would not say ahead of time which way they were voting. I believe the reason for this is because they did not know exactly how many votes they would need to pass the plan, but they had negotiated with those that are running for office in 2010 that if their vote was not needed they could vote against the plan so they could say that when running next year. So I am curious of how many of the famous 39 are up for election next year and if that is the case then I think we should make it very clear to the voters that their vote against is very questionable. I believe this just continues to show how contriving the Democrates are and why we need to vote them out of office in 2010.

Is there any doubt left in anyone's mind as to just what Obama thinks of anyone who dares disagree with him?

You don't want the government controlling health care? You're a Nazi extremist.

You are sick and tired of having to bail out banks, Wall Street firms, car companies, and insurance companies? You're a capitalist extremist.

You want to enforce immigration laws? You're a biggoted, racist extremist.

You object to more and more taxes? You're a stingy, 'tea-bagger' extremist.

You support the Second Amendment to the Constitution You're gun-nut extremist.

Yet, we have a militant Islamic officer, in the U.S. Army, who corresponds with an anti-American Muslim mullah and encourages all Muslims to rise up against American aggression. This same Army officer goes out and buys an assault rifle, jumps up and yells 'allah hu akbar' and shoots 30 or so fellow soldiers, killing 13 and wounding the rest. Mr. Obama's reaction — "We need to gather all the facts before making any judgements." No, we dare not say this is an act of terrorism, because that would mean we were attacked under Mr. Obama's watch. No, we need to decide what the meaning of "is" is.

Well, if Mr. Obama is so concerned about getting all the facts before making any judgement, he better do so quickly because they will be burying 13 of those facts very soon now.

If obama wants to CHANGE something and make the healthcare better why don't he kick out all the illegals that are having baby anchors and taking the GOV for a ride with hospital bills and EBIT cards for grocerys and rent money through welfare is our GOV so gulable that they don't know how to start saving money hell I will go help if they would let me FREE OF CHARGE and I will furnish my own coffee. Our Gov is letting our defensives down it would not take much for other country's to see how low we are and try to make a move on us,our childern will be paying the debt now for the next 10 generations, all we need to do is stop taking care of every moocher that wants in the U.S.A. and close the gates and only open it up to sweep out the dirt that has been piled up.Some people here in the U.S.A. have fought and died to oppose other countrys and keep this country FREE but the deaths of all that were taken should not go in vain in should be upheld to the highest 4 of us in my family are vets we are proud to have served, Dad is gone now but if he knew how or country is being run he would turn over in his grave but the rest is still here to stand up for him and what he did in WW11.

One thing is certain. Those in Congress, who secured

the passage of this health care reform bill, have

also secured and guaranteed that their constituents

will take a long, hard look at them during the elections of 2010, and in many cases vote them out

of office.

In the article was the following:

"Conservatives have our own, patient centered, vision for health care reform."

The left wing has won. Apparently the Consevatives have accepted the premise that the government has the authority and responsibility to regulate and provide health care. The argument has never been about money or need or anything noble. It's always been about POWER.

Now let me get this straight: the government uses brute physical force (IRS) to steal the fruits of our labor, intellectual and other property, then they take their cut, and give the rest out to others THEY deem more worthy. And then THEY CLAIM THE MORAL HIGH-GROUND?

Has anyone read the Constitution and other supporting documents? It was written by real libertarians and it needs the continuing support and protection of real libertarians. It it morally and intellectually difficult to be a real libertarian but it is the only way to save our country, our freedom and liberty.

For the past 100+ years we have allowed the left to steal our education system, (btw, where in the enumerated powers is the Federal Government allowed to be involved in education?),the court system and others and corrupted most of the Constitution including the ammendments.

By accepting the premises of the left and arguing about the details is like accepting slavery and arguing about the specific conditions. What are the Conservatives trying to conserve. If you want to know what protecting and defending the Constitution looks like, try reading the opinions of Thomas and Scalia.

Gosh, Mr. President, what do you call a person in the military yelling out ala akbar and shooting up a military base? A terrorist?

Making sense is "extreme?" No wonder congress and the president make none.

Why is congress disconnected from the US citizens? One reason: the number of millionaires in congress. 1% of the general population is in the millionaire bracket. In congress, it is 44%.

That's right, there are 237 members of congress who are multi-millionaires. Of the 25 wealthiest, 14 are Dem and 11 are Rep. So, it seems congress is an equal opportunity employer.

The ultra-wealthy tend also to be the best wheeler-dealers and power brokers, so what better place to be than congress? And with this kind of money and power, it is hard to imagine there is much empathy for the poor and middle class.

Now, since this proposed health care bill is one more giant step toward the transfer of wealth in this country, will these millionaires be subject to the same level of taxation and penalties as the "common folk" to foot the bill for this?

Will their "Cadillac" insurance plans, compliments of US taxpayers, also be levied the 5.4% surcharge that we will have if we are lucky enough to have similar gold-plated plans?

With this kind of personal wealth, why are they against having the same plans they want the rest of us to have? Would it really hurt their bottom line? Are they cheap-skates?

Or are we dealing with plain old "elitism" here?

Has any one thought of a USA wide recall of Government? I think if we start with the our state reps and filter up to state capital I think the government will hear us then!
