Republicans have figure out something that Democrats have not..., keep holding back healthcare until it will be too late to see anything good come from it . . ., then have an election and see who the people vote for.
Hopefully folks see through that trick. Republicans are pulling a filibuster outside of .... Congressional and Senate hours of business, if you believe me, flip on AM talk radio and listen to the right talk and talk and talk. That is why I have never understood talk radio, rarly does anyone but the get a chance to talk. Plus most of the time it is yelling.
Maybe our President should run this healthcare debate like a game show ... The minute he is done posing the bill, the clock starts ... and if they don't answer in time the buzzer goes off, which means they don't know the answer, then the point goes to the other side. But like any other game their is a time limit. Who ever has the most points in the end wins the game.
Now I saw a video tonight that truely disturbed me. This video was of a man who did not have healthcare and he was at a rally that was opposing President obama's health care plan as it stands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ik4f1dRbP8&feature=youtube_gdata
Now we have seen how folks were behaving at town hall meetings a while back. So I am not sure why this gentleman would subject himself to something like this, other than true bravery and desperation, however... He did. Watch the video ...
It is just sad! A spokeswoman for Americans for Prosperity, which helped organize the rally, said the treatment of letcher was inappropriate.
I don't want to stand here and point fingers because it would be a waste of time. Time and money are two things this country is short on.
My mother has Parkinson's diseases and to watch this video it makes me lose hope in people, but I will bounce back and I hope you will to. But to have grown man in business's dress (slacks and a tie) throwing money at someone who can not do anymore than hope for a better way to end of life is unfair. I dont think he is their for a cure, because even if they had a cure, he would not see it if he did not have health care to pay for it. But maybe he is hoping that someone understands his pain, his fellow bothers and sisters, his fellow American. What is the differences between this man having Parkinson's or this man right a that moment having a car accident and all thoughs people saying "so what you crashed, pick yourself up and get to the hospital!. You don't have insurance, then don't take an ambulance's cause we the tax payers will have to pay for it, and it ain't cheap!".
PLEASE don't defend health care at that moment, just help a fellow human being. If you saw a dog that was limping on the road as you were driving home, would you stop and help it? WHAT is the difference?
Let me put it in a much simpler question that most everyone could understand: given the same situation with that man... WHAT would Jesus do? You don't even need to be religious to answer that one, just understand the concept. But, if you are religious let me refresh your memory: love your neighbor as yourself... Read on please.

LEVITICUS 19:18 nKJ
18 `You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
MATTHEW 19:19 nKJ
19 `Honor your father and your mother,' and, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "
MATTHEW 22:39 nKJ
39 "And the second is like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
MARK 12:31 nKJ
31 "And the second, like it, is this: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
LUKE 10:27 nKJ
27 So he answered and said, " `You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and `your neighbor as yourself.' "
ROMANS 13:9 nKJ
9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
GALATIANS 5:14 nKJ
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
JAMES 2:8 nKJ
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"
So I ask you folks, does this mean only love your neighbor if they have healthcare? LOVE is simple and does not know politics or ego.

If your neighbors is limping, wear his boots to see if they have a rock in them, then take the rock out. Don't put them on and then kick them in the ass.

Let this be done, and expect that this one step forward may lead to two steps back, but at least we are moving to a solution.
Your friend,
