    As I understand it …
    As I understand it it’s more taxes for those making over $250,000 per year. That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Folks making that much can certainly afford to pay exxtra taxes. Come on now.

    more taxes for me, as i work 5 days a week to TRY and provide for my family…more taxes to pay for others who do not work…i guess, my “extended” family will now get more of my support…as, i already support them through SS, Medicare, Welfare, subsidies, free cell phones, bailouts…the list goes on.

    Just what our founders had in mind…a Collectivist Nation.

    Progressives/ …
    Progressives/Socialists are still attempting to salvage their massive health care take over. President Obama, himself a Socialist with ties to the New Party in Chicago, invited Republicans to the negotiating table not to negotiate a new health care bill but to have Republicans buy into a compromise of the two Democratic health bills. This is not bipartisanship. It is political theater designed to entrap Republicans into supporting a bill the American people overwhelmingly do not want.

    We the members of the Democratic Party love our country and we do not want corrupted, dishonest and socialist liberals making radical changes within our government, especially when it curtails taking away our individual Liberty and Freedom.

    Weas Democrats must lead with a willingness to speak out in providing the facts and analysis people can us to criticize liberal proposals, and propose common-sense conservative alternatives.

  10. geofiles says:

    We need to elect …
    We need to elect those with the fire of truth burning in them. We need to help support those who agree with the guidelines laid down by our Founding Fathers. For too long we have been divided as a country as we point fingers at each other. We are not first Democrats… and then AMERICANS!

  11. geofiles says:

    We as Democrats …
    We as Democrats need to remind our Obama and our Democratic Party they only have power granted by us the voters and byway of the Constitution, not by some special interest groups filling their re-election funds. We need to remind them this is the United States of America and the Founding Fathers never wanted the powers of government coming through the Federal government, but from the states. We as Democrats need to find our way back to the principles in running our government.

  12. geofiles says:

    I see our Obama for …
    I see our Obama for what he is, and as a member of the Democratic Party I could have only once hoped Obama would of impassioned himself to the words of our founding fathers. On the other hand, we as Democrats should remember the words of William Samuel Johnson, “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.”

  13. geofiles says:

    Our Democratic …
    Our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

    The democratic party is the only party whose platform calls for the collapse of the entire united states by taking from the able and giving to the disabled.

    All the democratic party believes in is votes.

    groundhog2008:

    You want to discriminate against young healthy people. You want to force them to pay more then their risk requires.

    People do not deserve the right to steal even if their life is in danger.

    Pre-existing conditions mean a person is more risky. Thus they deserve to pay more because they have higher risks. That is what insurance does. Its not the insurance companies fault that people die any more than its your fault for not preventing their death.

    Mr. President, many of us have a future full of illness and despair without your healthcare reform bill!!!!

    Kudos for trying to rein in the greedy healthcare system, but alas they are too powerful. They’ve convinced the world that it’s exactly what we need. The best that we can’t afford. If I had a magic button that would replace every elected official in Washington, I would push it now….
    For all of our citizen’s that are facing bankruptcy and death…SORRY! I will pray for you!
