I’m for taking care of me and mine, you taking care of you and yours and the government only caring for those who can’t care for themselves.
It’s a conservative thing as opposed to a socialism lite thing.
Comprende?
Nothing wrong with that at all - in our current system. It means nothing if the health-care system gets swallowed up by the government.
Haley isn't a bad guy - I've been hawking him in my tagline for the past month! But if he wants to help fix the country, he not only has to be a competent state executive, but he needs to show that he understands the root incompatibility of socialism with what our Founding Fathers tried to create for us. And then he's got to educate the mushy masses on that, too.
It's an unenviable job. But nobody's doing all that right now. (Palin was doing it ALL, until she (? had to ?) step down.)
The core problem and most vital goal at the moment is stopping the trash from getting through i.e. slowing the momentum.
Barbour prosed tort reform in Miss. and it worked. He's a backer of it and it should be part of a reform package... almost every Repub is for it.
So you really think Barbour is for Obama-care? Nonsense.
That’s pretty much what Glenn Beck has been saying for a while. Both parties are moving us that way, it’s just the Democrats are doing it faster.
And you think this will be accomplished by NOT slowing the momentum of this thing?
On the contrary, if you do NOT slow this thing you will be forced to take care of MORE than you and yours.
And you took him off solely on this brief statement? Why don't you find out what his proposals are first?
Slowing/stopping this thing is the first step. Proposals are to come.
Palin's great but she hasn't made proposals either...same as Haley (although like I said Haley DID get tort reform in Miss). You can't just let the system go on as it is. Our costs will keep rising.
Friend, you’re just not getting it. I don’t want to slow the momentum of socialism and liberalism, I want to stop it dead in it’s tracks, cremate it and spread the ashes in outer space never to be seen or head from again.
We're here talking about a specific socialistic bill.
If you don't slow it down as Haley is advocating you'll get more socialism than you ever dreamed of.
You can't seem to grasp that NO market-driven pragmatic legislation will come out of these socialists in DC as long as they're up there. Ain't gonna happen. Any legislation will be just a question of how fast they shove tyranny down our throats.
Sarah Palin understands that and I submit to you that Haley Barbour does as well. Does he support this current bill? Of course he doesn't. But he seems to think that more compromise and less "haste" will work with these people, the same fatal mistake that the RINO-driven GOP has made for years.
Americans are coming to realize with this healthcare debacle and the flood of new debt just how bad things are up there. The first chance to really start shaking things up comes in 2010. No socialist or "socialist-lite" healthcare til we get some new blood up there.
Uh...if you want to get it taken up in the next Congress that involves slowing the current one down, does it not?
Haley Barbour didn't give any timetable as far as I can tell. I suspect he would not object for the issue to be pushed back to the electoral platform of 2010 and for it to then be taken up by a Repub congress. But that involves slowing the speed now, the very thing he has called for.
I would love to see Palin come out with some concrete ideas for medical reform as well. I haven't heard what her specific thoughts are on the issue.
If someone asks for her opinion, maybe she'll give it. I guarantee you nobody in the spineless GOP will ask her.
Her goal is to fight these people and their evil, tyrannical schemes. I hope she keeps it up. She clearly won't have any help except from ordinary schmucks like me. I'm sure her attitude with the spineless GOP will continue to be "get out the way, I'll do it".
Well, she's got some friends in the GOP so she's going to have to offer up some ideas along the way. That's all I'm saying.
Yep - here we go again, Republicans want to "work" with Obamacare and make it "more efficient." Maybe the families of seniors will qualify for tax credits once they turn their grandparents in. Same old Republican 90 mph socialism as opposed to Zero's 100 mph.
Smart people know what's in the bill and they don't like it. Slowing it down means that Republicans will "work out a deal" and keep Obamacare alive. We've got to kill this thing, and that's why Palin's comments make perfect sense.
Sitting governors always have to put their finger in the wind before they comment. One of the benefits of having resigned, Palin doesn’t have to do that any more, she can call them as she sees them.
This isn’t about “healthcare reform” or “health insurance reform” it’s about the govt which can’t even run Cash for Clunkers effectively, seizing control of the health care of over 300 Million people.
Slowing it down means even more people find out what's in the bill.
Slowing it down means Repubs have to begin to put forward ideas for reform. Sarah too.
This is a liberty issue, we shouldn’t even be humoring them.
So you'll have to get some reform ideas out there from the Repub side.
