Passions over health care reform |
The Republican Way... What Health Care Reform?
During his presidency President Roosevelt tried in vain to get health care for all Americans without any success, but now thanks to the Democrats in Congress the country has an opportunity to gain crucial changes in health care to benefit all Americans. This is a great day for America. Democrats were able to secure sixty votes to take health care reform to the Senate floor for debate.
In the mean while I can’t wait for the new barrage of negative criticisms from so-called conservative radio and TV talk show hosts. What would they say now? I am wondering if any of them dropped from a heart attack yet? After all they all swore that this day would never come.
How about lunatic super screamer out of control scary so-called conservative radio talk show host Mark Levine? By now a vein or two in Levine's neck are ready to blow?
I am certain that the “pack of four”: the druggie, the sexual harasser, the so-called “recovered”-alcoholic and the two-face liar talking heads” Republican mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reily Shaun Hannity, and Glen Beck by now are very busy planning their next big attack yet against health care reform and the public option.
It is no secret that these hateful people spent a substantial amount of airtime on the radio and on Television trying to defeat health care reform. At every step of the way they made sure to bring out every negative scenario that would occur if Congress would to approve a health care bill. It seems that these pack of vicious hypocrites are perfectly fine with the fact that millions of Americans do not have health care.
Is that the Republican way?
The “pack of vicious four” worked diligently for months to make sure that the health care reform bill never ever saw the light of day. These clowns really believed their constant ranting and raving and spewing misinformation and inciting people against health care reform would stop Congress from doing the people’s business?
Obviously the rants and the spewing against health care reform did not work even amongst Blue Dog Democrats. Democrats stuck together for a change and voted to advance the bill to the Senate floor. Lucky for the American people Republicans are not in control of the country any longer… eight years of hell under Republican control, one has to be mentally ill to go back for more.
For months “Talking heads” Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reily Shaun Hanitty, and Glen Beck mounted a vicious well orchestrated “over the top” radio and TV campaign including rallies and “Tea Bagging” events against health care reform and the public option. The
”pack of four” were in a big time roll as they spew a litany of negative rants not only against health care reform and the public option, but also against Democrats and lets not forget President Obama and his administration, which they truly despise.
Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannitty, Beck and Levine spent months spewing and ranting hateful misrepresentations trying to scare and or convince people that “health care reform was bad for America and health care reform was “dead in the water” And that “health care reform was not going anywhere anytime soon” in this country… their desperate rants obviously did not work. They were sadly convinced that the health care bill would never make it to the Senate floor… they were so wrong.
Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Shaun Hannitty Glen Beck and Mark Levine failed to recognize that the majority of the American people favor a public option and are demanding that their elected representative vote for a public option in the health care reform bill. If they don’t follow the mandate of their constituencies and vote to exclude public option from the bill, next election they can find another job.
I am baffled by the audacity of Republicans and certain Blue Dog Democrats… The health care of Americans is the most important and biggest investment the U.S. can make. A healthy country is one with a healthy populace. To deny health care for all Americans is to ignore the health and security of the country.
The health care reform vote will only advance the bill to the Senate floor to enter in to a debate. Basically is the first step of many, but nonetheless this is a very important step that could culminate in health care reform for the benefit of the American people. This alone represents a lot more Republicans ever offered to the American people… change is in the air.
As far as the vicious “pack of four” + one Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly and Levine I am sure that they are getting ready to rant and spew some more hateful messages fill with misrepresentations. In the mean while as millions of Americans I am looking forward to the health care debate in the Senate… I can’t wait. Peace… cookie.
