Democrats 2010

I hope for all of our sakes that the Democrats lose seats in 2010. The last thing this nation needs is for them to keep going in the direction that they are. My greatest fear is that the extremists will attempt something will lead to major riots and the Democrats pushing more laws through that futher restricts our freedoms.

I believe Lincoln was correct when he stated that our government was of the people, by the people, for the people.

The way that the politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, act once elected you would think our government is of the special interests, by the special interests, for the special interests.

Even with all of the uproar that the American public has created during the Town Hall meetings the Democrats are still pushing their Socialist version of Health Care down our throat.

We as a nation need to stand up and let all politicians know that we will not be ignored and vote all politicians out who are not acting in OUR interest.

Afgan War

The way that I see it politicians have one of two choices. Option one - pull out of Afghanistan. Option two - step aside and let the military do what it needs to do to win the war.

There should be no middle ground here. When politics and war mix it is a recipe for disaster and the men and women of the Armed Forces end up paying with their lives.

This nation should not repeat its Vietnam experience. Either let the military do what it needs or pull them out.

Also I don't care if you support the war effort or not. If you are against the war take it out on the Politicians in DC not the members of our Armed Forces who are are only doing what they have been ordered to do. So support them!!!!

Healthcare Public Option

I still believe that the Public Option is going to be a big issue. Depending on the cost I feel that businesses will drop their current coverage.

Lets say that to fund the Public Option businesses were forced to pay $1,000 dollars. It would make sense for a company operating to make a profit to drop their coverage and have the employees "Choose" the Public Option. Which means we all get to be on the government plan. Sounds to me like a sneaky way for the Democrats to create a single payer system that they SO desire.

Socialism here we come.

Obama's big speech

Obama's speech that is coming up may be very interesting. Hopefully he will at least back off from the Public Option that he has been pushing for. But if he does he may cause problems with his own party and the unions that have supported him.

Hopefully he does and things start to hit the fan for the democrats.

Goverment run HealthCare....think VA & DOD

Why do poeple believe that the government can run a health system. Look at what the poor health care that the VA and DOD supply. In late July an Air Force doctor botched a surgery that left a 20-year-old airman without his legs. If you think that he can sue think again, because of a law enacted in the 1950s known as the "Feres Doctrine" prohibits service members, spouses and family members from bringing a suit against the United States Government following medical mishaps. Do you think if/when the government gets involved in YOUR health care they won't have the same doctrine on the books? And what about the condition of the rooms that the soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan were place in at Walter Reed in DC.

As far as the VA goes lately in the news there have been storied about patients being informed that they had a fatal disease when the did not, patients who went in for a colonoscopy were informed they may have been exposed to HIV and hepatitis because of contaminated equipment.

Could things like this happen now with the health care that we have, yes but most if not all hospitals have procedures in place to prevent mishaps like this for occurring.

I don't know about the rest of you but if this is what we can expect if the government is involved with health care I'll take my chances with what we have now.
