It’s important to remember that Massachusetts had a Republican governor at the helm, who proposed the same type of system that Obama is proposing. As much as those out there argue that the governor’s plan was taken to extremes by the next liberal administration – that still does not excuse the fact that a progressive politician (be it Republican or Democrat) set in motion a piece of legislation that harms more than it helps. The same could be said for Bush’s ‘No Child Left Behind Act.’ It was still Bush’s idea and he pushed for the legislation, even after it was made into something unintended.
A recent study released from Massachusetts showed that only 26% felt that the state’s universal health care program worked. Those who actually were the poorest and previously did not have health care, liked the program the least. Progressives want people to believe that billions of people are without health care, when that’s not the case, and the few million who don’t have it, are either here illegally, choose not to use one of the many programs in existence that offers health care, or are fine with going to the emergency rooms in hospitals.
Make no bones about it, Obama wants his way or it’s the highway. He WON remember? Get over it! He doesn’t want to compromise on the health care debate, and he made that point abundantly clear today, even from overseas. He told the moderate Democrats in Congress that he does not want a compromise with Republicans… He wants exactly what he proposed. Smoke and mirrors legislation that looks as though the program is competitive, but would eventually make it too expensive for small and medium sized business to carry insurance for their employees. The government cannot compete with the private sector – it always wins.
Discussing the Republican listening tour conducted by Former Governors Jeb Bush (FL) and Mitt Romney (MA), radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said they are “embarrassed” by Sarah Palin.
Limbaugh said the underlying issue of these speaking engagements is that Bush and Romney “hate” and “despise” the Alaska Governor and former running-mate of John McCain. Limbaugh added they have “presidential perspirations” and called their tour an “early campaign event.”
Limbaugh defended Palin and heralded her as the “most prominent and articulate voice” for conservatism.
Rush concluded this “need to praise” President Obama leaves him “wanting.”
She is the quintessential Conservative and she lives and breathes conservatism in her every day life! Time to stop getting all caught up with these elitists and establishment figures. They are just as much about power and control as the Democrats… it’s time that some Republicans also wake up to this fact.
