Healthcare reform is coming close to being a reality. The Republicans continue to make their argument against passage of the bill which they intend to fight to kill. But their arguments and reasoning are spurious. Let’s listen to some of what they have to say: By Matt Patterson- FOXNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/03/08/matt-patterson-obama-health-care-town-hall-democrats-republicans-gop/) “The summit and subsequent events have... »

The republican attacks on the healthcare reform legislation are not directed toward specific measures in the bill itself, they are directed to a perception that any people orientated legislation written by democrats is another round of social engineering that will lead to higher taxes. And so when you listen to republicans address Obama’s explanation of... »

The health care system is hurtling towards a humanitarian crisis if it isn’t there already. It is dragging the middle class down and young people just entering the workforce will take their chances rather than have their whole paycheck go to insurance premiums. Americans are being forced into bankruptcy and choosing to forgo not... »

Insanity, horror, terror, hatred possess the pure white, right wing, fundamentalist, gun lusting racists who are demanding their country back.  Why?

The... »

I can’t figure out what the Tea Party movement stands for because at their demonstrations their outbursts sound a lot like the ratings of a chronic drunk staggering across a subway platform. It turns out their core values are spelled out on one of their websites. http://www.teapartypatriots.org/Mission.aspx There are three core values they that underlie their... »

Do republicans believe it is time to cut the unemployed loose? It’s beginning to sound that way. Here is some talk from conservative Jamie Allman writing on The Daily Call website: http://dailycaller.com/2010/03/04/bunning-no-hero-for-conservatism/ “There is a lot of talk about fiscal responsibility these days, but so far no one has tackled the truly tough reality that... »

That was a heroic stand by Senator Jim Bunning who single handedly attempted to force the unemployment extension to be budget neutral by having it offset by cutting costs somewhere else. We’re all proud of ya Jim. We need more people like you who are willing to stand firm against a government that’s out... »

I feel bad for Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona. He’s a small government free market guy who keeps showing up for work having to deal with people problems. People need more government handouts. This is the last thing in the world Jon Kyl wants to talk about. He’s there to do the people’s business not... »

I want to see Joe ‘The Plumber’ Wurzelbacher’s tax return. Joe is calling for a tax revolt. Read here: It Is Time For a New Tax Revolthttp://biggovernment.com/jwurzelbacher/2010/03/01/it-is-time-for-a-new-tax-revolt But I believe Joe isn’t paying that much in federal taxes to begin with. What Joe is doing is exploiting the Tea Party movement’s anti-government sentiment based on the... »

The Tea Party Patriots are outraged over super high taxes caused by out of control federal spending. Taxes and spending are the very essence of the Tea Party’s existence and hatred of government. This is why they call for a revolution and the refreshing of the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots... »
