Setting The Record Straight
There has been a lot of hot air in Washington over healthcare “reform” in recent days, most of it doing little more than contributing to global warming. So I thought it might be helpful to clarify a few statements you may have heard lately.
VOTE NOW — Yesterday, President Obama said the debate is over, “Every argument has been made. Everything there is to say about health care has been said.” I can appreciate why Barack Obama does not want this debate to continue. He and his party are getting hammered in the polls, and all his talking (nearly three dozen speeches and statements on healthcare) has done nothing to rally public support for his socialized medicine scheme. But now we’re dealing with a new set of proposals and a different set of rules.
FEAR — I’ve heard administration officials and politicians talking about the “politics of fear.” The president and other liberals aren’t talking about a fear of Islamofascist terrorism – they are referring to you. Just like he did with the stimulus bill (we know how well that has worked out!), the president wants to rush this “reform” through Congress with little time to fully analyze the final product. Why? Because he and his liberal allies fear the American people will be outraged. And, judging from the polls, they’re right.The folks most afraid of Obama’s “reform” plan today are members of his own party. The only thing bi-partisan about this bill is opposition to it. For example, a handful of House Democrats (and all House Republicans) oppose the bill because it uses taxpayer money to subsidize abortion.
Great Quote from Rep. Boren of Oklahoma, Democrat-
“They can break my arms. They can do whatever they want to. They’ll never get my vote — ever. They’ll have to walk across my dead body if they want my vote on this issue.” In a separate statement, Boren blasted ObamaCare, writing, “…there is no chance I am voting for this bill because it raises taxes on businesses, creates job-killing mandates, grows the size of government, and cuts services to seniors.”
