If you think you have been lied to before…you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. It’s an election year and therefore the amount and the degree of inaccuracy of Republican statements will increase, and already have increased, exponentially. Here are just a few examples. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have blamed Barack Obama for the lack [...]

Over Neoconservative Obstruction and Health Care Lobbying, Health Reform Passes.
December 24th, 2009 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
Right to the end, the Neoconservative Obstructionists in the Senate fought their hardest for the health insurance industry, trying to get every benefit they could and putting pressure on all Democratic Senators with any political vulnerability. They fired salvo after salvo at health care reform. They said that the American People were basically ungrateful to [...]

Down to the Wire on Health Care Reform
December 9th, 2009 · Comments Off · Culture, Health Care, Politics
Americans used to be winners. Now we are losers. The current crop of middle-aged Americans are so far from reality that it almost makes a grown man…of which there are fewer and fewer…cry. We started out a year ago electing a man as President who said that he would initiate the process of creating a [...]

October 27th, 2009 · Comments Off · Economics, Health Care

Examples of courageous behavior: Soldiers going to the rescue of a downed comrade in the face of withering fire. A skilled pilot landing a huge plane on water to save the lives of all the passengers.

Health Care Reform Needs a Public Option. The Public Needs to Call Senators.
August 28th, 2009 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
Who is going to vote for the Public Option, and who isn’t? That is the question. Everyone who supports health care reform says that, without a public option health care reform will not reduce costs. That means it will be worthless. The key to universal health care and better, reliable health care is to reduce [...]
More Republican Myths About Health Care Reform
August 27th, 2009 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
The Republicans in Congress and their allies–people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, and Ann Coulter–and countless people hired by FreedomWorks and the Heritage Foundation and others to attend rallies and try to disrupt free speech, and yet others whose job it is to send out massive mailings to scare senior citizens are all [...]

Republicans Create Phony “Seniors’ Bill of Rights” But No Health Care Plan.
August 25th, 2009 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
The Republican Party has no health care plan. They held back on producing it because they wanted to try to stall the process. Now that they see that the Democrats are not going to wait forever, the Republicans have come out with this little public relations gimmick called The Seniors’ Health Care Bill Of Rights. [...]
