Continue the momentum of the tea parties in April. Our biggest concerns are, first, the growth of government control of our economy - of every aspect of life - in higher taxes, higher spending and just plain control.

Second, specifically the takeover of health care. They now say they don't want single-payer health care. But they are trying to hide because the light is on them. They have been saying for years they want it. The bills they are putting together now are the steps toward government control of your health care.Health care is not that complicated - American Thinker

Posted by: andy on June 18, 2009 07:36 AMSorry Republicans, but the MSM is NOT in favor of your agenda. That's just the way it is. Stick to your roots of low taxes, less government, and miding our own business on the international front and you MAY actually win some seats in the House and Senate.
But don't count on any help form the MSM.
Posted by: Politically Incorrect on June 18, 2009 09:33 AMSomething else that should anger everyone--he recently said he wanted the govt. to offer a very basic, stripped-down plan that people could buy. Well gee, the private companies have been wanting to do that for a long time (a conservative idea, mind you). But the democrats who regulate health insurance here won't allow that to happen. So Obama wants the government to do something his liberal cohorts won't allow private companies to do? I'm calling B.S. on these people for their wretched double standard (yet again).
Posted by: Michele on June 18, 2009 01:06 PMShe's pretty into lots of things, I would suggest she either get involved in the political process herself and go to her local political party meetings (I'd suggest she try the Republican Party, btw) and actually show up and be a volunteer and make her concerns known.
And she always has the option of running for office herself.
Seems like she's just into talk, not action, sort of like she expects parties to match what she wants.
If so many Americans match her views she should be able to go ahead and start a new party. Maybe in the space left by the disintegrating GOP?
She also says "I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored." Wow, that's pretty interesting, I wonder if she's for actual full sovereignty including the right to secede from the USA? The right to nullify USA laws? What else could that mean? If she's serous about taking action on that, she'll probably need to get some guns and start an army because the last time people tried to secede, a civil war started. IOW the rest of the USA isn't going to let her secede, I think.
Oh btw did you all know the Senate apologized for slavery today?
Now on the single payer thing. You know, you just might be right: socialized medicine is the goal!
Darn it, exposed again.
And we thought we could fool all of you!
Man, you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to fool the conservatives of the USA.
Oh well, it was worth a try. I'll Command Central the ruse didn't work. They'lll probably try it again with this co-op notion, claiming the entity won't actually be the government, and hoping upon hope you all don't notice that if it's not the government -- then it's not subject to voter control!
Au revoir -- passez bons temps aux fetes du the--

Posted by: Torture Lawyer on June 19, 2009 08:00 AMToday is Juneteenth a celebration of the endof slavery.
I have to hand it to the GOP, it's apogee is certainly opposing and ending slavery.
Props!
What's fascinating is how doing that actually required a really, really, really, really BIG government intervention: a very largee army, invasion of the South, and new constitutional amendments by which the federal government imposed more control over the relation between the states and their citizens, intruding literally into the personal relationship of millions of slaves, and their owners, literally rewriting the property law and many other laws of the Southern States.
so Bravo to the Republican Party for knowing that yes, there is a time for everything, includling BIG GOVERNMENT from time to time.
Here's to the GOP for using a huge federal government to advance our nation and bring us closer to our ideals of freedom and liberty!
Bit of a paradox, isn't it?
Posted by: Torture Lawyer on June 19, 2009 08:29 AMWhatever.
You can't hide from yourself or from reality. Nor can you truly discount the unrest and unease over the power grab and massive debt this moron in chief has quadrupled in a few short months about which "we the people" are seething.
Your moron in chief a street thug and "we the people" are awaking to exactly what 'hope and change' your thug is bringing. Your moron in chief is a coward who can't keep whining "Present" and blaming his predecessor.
The dismissive leaders in Europe have shown him that.
Iran is showing him that.
Israel is showing himn that.
North Korea is especially showing him that.
Whatever.

We'll be here to pick up the pieces.
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on June 19, 2009 12:26 PMI hope they don't.
Let the moron in chief, his toadies, syncophants and teleprompter own the disaster he is.
We'll be here to pick up the pieces.
We always are.
We always do.
PS: will one of you liberals have the cojones to tell the moron in chief to shut his pie hole before 4pm everday. Every time he opens it, the market tanks.
I've read a ton of drivel from Uncle Wizl, Dummo Kid, and the rest of the loony left on here, but the overly strained comparison of bailing out banks & car companies with the civil war is certainly the most forced and downright silly bending of the facts I've seen yet on this board.
