I am suprised how many people actually believe that the US healthcare system doesn’t need reform.

That’s right–Get rid of INSURANCE Altogether …
……It’s better than paying $16,000/year every year for s struggling family of four like the HC bill has devised..
We in my town are not planning to contribute if it means we will have to exit the country..till the 5 year repeal process kicks in..
The HC BiLL is illegal…..

I am a millionaire and let me tell you a million bucks is simply your greencard to the American Middle Class. Everyone else is working class, working poor, or poor. Beyond middle class you have Rich=great sports stars, actors, Very Rich= $Billion, Super Rich= lets all move to the UAE…Insurance should be outlawed. Just pay cash! Whatever it costs..just pay! Inscrewrance is a racket. Paying 3X world rate for health Aint that S**T ? Insurance? Farts are more substantial buy beans instead.

Frankly all you fucks that want something for free should move to Mexico. I work hard to provide my family healthcare and myself; this is certainly going to only raise my costs. You believe the same scum in the white house who have ignored the social security issue,
January 2nd, 2010 at 7:14 am
The fact when you retire most of your money wont be there and you believe those same scumbags can get healthcare right and or are not lining their pockets in the process. This is never going to pass they will be signing their death warrant the American people will hang them from the trees in the white house lawn. Socialism will be met with the same rebellion that started this great nation I dare you to pass that bill.
January 2nd, 2010 at 7:38 am
Ask your self-obama, we are on the verge of change you being the first black president is sobering truth to example of that They all said a Black man cant be president those are the same people saying the American people wont rise up in rebellion against your socialism consider your actions wisely anything is possible in America and I feel the time of your fifthly politics and backroom deals with corporations is about over by vote or other necessary means., ps I voted for you Never again.

Obama said that the feds werent going to go after medical marijuana anymore. I have to admit that is the first thing he did right since he has taken office. Now if he would only tell the American people how the government falsified most of the earlier studies on marijuana to scare the public from using it. Marijuana was what built this country, George Washington made the first laws legalizing it. It can save the country with the tax dollars it gererates.

It is plain to see that the President’s plan to create a pathway for illegals to become citizens mean amnesty. See Barry Artiste Op/Ed on Obama’s Plan “S-9 Amnesty Bill”.where….
1. Illegal aliens given legal status just 24 hours after filing… even though background check will not have been completed in nearly all cases
2. Aliens will pay no back taxes
3. US/Mexico border fence reduced from 800 miles to 200 miles
Etc… Etc… Etc…
January 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 am
Joe’s right Obama lied. Dems want illegals to receive health benefits & block GOP limits. Why? Because, when they pass blanket amnesty they expect to add another 10 million to their roles
Obama’s own words. “First of all, I’d like to create a situation where we’re dealing with illegal immigration, so that we don’t have illegal immigrants. And we’ve got legal residents or citizens who are eligible for the plan. And I want a comprehensive immigration plan that creates a pathway to achieve that.”

Now if I told you someone is an asshole and you can’t believe anything they say. What would be your first reaction? You would go hear the asshole; would you not? Especially if I kept slamming them day after day; you would have to go see what it is all about. How many people do you think the president just pushed over to fox news by slamming them? I bet their viewership jumps up quite a bit now and I haven’t even looked into it. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what would happen.
January 2nd, 2010 at 10:58 am
Why does Obama slam Fox News? He wants everyone to watch it. He wants everyone to get mad and up rise so he can declare martial law which would end the United States of America by collapsing the economy. But don’t worry because if we don’t up rise there is a plan B. They will get their martial law and in the end either terrorist or the US citizens will get the blame for it when it was congress that did it. When this happens congress and their families are the ones to look at for retribution.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:13 am
I don’t watch the news. They lie to make Obama look good. There is no way the dollar can survive and if you watch this video you can see Ben Bernanke tell you this when he says he would say yes to getting out of the dollar. (New World Order – Part IV – The Mark of the Beast) Ben Bernanke is the chairman of the Federal Reserve the one who makes our money. The dollar is doomed and this is part of the plan. I am a registered democrat. LMAO you’re the one who needs to wake, up I am awake.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:47 am
dollar collapsing?uhh if u watch the news or read a newspaper about wall st instead of spoutin false stuff then u would know the dollar hasnt been fallin an is repriving stop listenin to conserves an right wings telling ppls that america is gonna be destroyed cause yestarday d.o.w was down by 1 point wake up!
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
obama wants the dollar to tank and then the libs will have more control of the sheeple,you just keep believing that change is coming,it is but you aren’t going to like it when the unemployment hits 25% and your cost of living skyrockets beyond what you can afford. The elderly better start finding somewhere besides America,where your benefits are going away,but you will have third world healthcare and socialism,its coming and the middle class and poor will pay. Good luck with hope & change,morons

People need to do some research on the dollar crashing. How do you think the people will react when this happens? There will be riots when everyone loses their savings and retirements. I am sure they won’t take it easy. The dollar will crash most likely this year, because all the other nations will stop using it. They are already calling for it including chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke. Youtube this title and watch it. New World Order – Part IV – The Mark of the Beast
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:34 pm
People need to research the Rex 84 memo where they set up FEMA to run state and federal government if a national crisis broke out. It also calls for the round up of 21 million African Americans to be sent to military bases set up as prisons because they were seen as the biggest threat to government. Ask Obama to make sure they change that fast because a national crisis is about to happen with the dollar collapsing.

You do not know a thing about Marx. Educate yourself on him with neutral information, a history book or wikipedia ect. To understand what you will see there you first need to read up on communism.
I would also suggest you check out socialism.
You will discover than communism doesn’t exist in the world anymore.
You will see that not even Europe is left enough to be called socialism.
Finally, try to place Obama in European politics and you will see he is center-right.
Obama a Marxist…hahaha!

All I know is government can’t be trusted in anything they do. There has been far too much corruption in government that we should seriously start thinking about putting internet in every home free, and then the retired people can be government. Hell it would give them something to do. Just a thought. I trust that the retired people would do the right thing and would know what America needs. Everyone in government now should be jailed for their roles in destroying America.
