Grass Roots Movement
« on: April 05, 2010, 02:12:16 AM »
Would you agree or disagree that the American public is tired of not being falsly represented by the House and Senate? I think that both sides of the isle believe it is time to get some fresh faces in Washington that represent the will of their constituents.

The American people voted these particular people in, like S.D. said.

Agreed.  If we don't make changes to both sides of the isle, it will likely tip over or capsize.

I agree that we vote for that very reason, but their job is still to represent the people. It doesnt seem like they remember there is a reason they are in office... representation

Generally, I like my Senators the way I like my college coaches. Sleazy as possible without getting busted and surrounded by criminals who are awesome at their jobs. Historically, this has been proven the most successful model for most businesses, governments and churches.

Ramming a bill through congress with very little public support is a wonderful representation of a bang-up job. I'm just saying :dunno:

If you think about it, it WAS some pretty impressive legislating, given the odds. Everyone was all "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HEALTH CARE IS DEAD!" and then Congress was all "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!"

Actually, there was nothing impressive about it at all. In fact, it is a real embarrassment for the Dems considering they had a super majority and STILL couldn't get it through without bending the rules to there advantage. Losers. :eye:

Its not about poor ppl they could get free service through the ER anyway its about more gov. take over. Its unconstitutional to tell ppl they HAVE to be insured and if your not you will be penalized by higher taxes. There is a reason why we are the most powerful nation in the world...Capitalism. The government needs to stay out of the private sector.

And is the State or the Feds that require you to purchase insurance that protects others?

And do they require purchase of Comprehensive Insurance?

If you don't want to buy car insurance, just don't drive.  You won't have any choice with health insurance. I would bet there was a stretch of time, maybe a long stretch, that you didn't have health insurance and probably didn't need it.

You'd have thought we went from the stamp act to today.  Also, the government is all up in your health care.  Go protest some VA hospitals or Social Security offices if you are still bent out of shape about the tyranny of geriatrics.

Exactly.  There are plenty of public transportation options available.
