’s the scenario: F.D.R. passes Social Security, and L.B.J. passes Medicare. Now the Democrats and the Obama administration want to pass a Comprehensive Health Care bill to cover all Americans. All of which were Democratic legislation.The Republicans are willing to do anything to defeat the proposed health care bill. One Republican Senator said that they must do everything to defeat this bill. “It will be Obamas' Waterloo.” It would seem that the Republicans are more interested in themselves and their party politics than the American public. If a health care bill should pass, it would make the Republicans look inept when it comes to their party passing any major social legislation to benefit the American people.
Enter Sarah Palin, perhaps the biggest mistake John McCain ever made in his life. Ms. Palin says, “If the bill should pass, half of her family would have to face death panels.” I have two words that Ms. Palin might understand, “Moose Turds!” There is nothing in any of the proposed bills that state that at all.
Some of the Republicans that oppose any health care bill voted for the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was a bill that would allow the government to spy on almost any American and take away your right to privacy... in the name of national security, of course. Ben Franklin once said, “Those who would sacrifice liberties for security deserve neither.” I think that old Ben would have made a good Democrat. Is it that Republicans who don’t want what they call “socialized medicine,” prefer, “Big Brotherism?”
Then there is the elderly woman who went to a Democratic town hall meeting in South Carolina and said, “I don’t want the government to come between me and my Medicare.” This woman must be in the early stages of senility. Where does she think that Medicare comes from?... a gift from God?
Do the Republicans who opposed Medicare when L.B.J. pushed it through, and who have tried to make cuts in Medicare in the years since, believe that a new health care bill will mean cuts in Medicare? And they want to protect it? Are they going to be the champions of Medicare?
Two faced? Hypocritical? When they talk, which side of their mouths do you listen to? That is unclear and it is getting more confusing as the debate continues.

Republicans only seem to be concerned with saving their shrinking base, Senate seats, and House seats. They will slander, lie, and put out dis-information to promote their partisan politics.
Don’t ask me what bi-partisan politics mean. It sounds like a gay thing to me. Does it really exist? I would love to hear someone in Washington D.C give me a realistic definition of it. — Charles Sack
