"Anybody who's ever dealt with me knows not to mess with me."Nancy Pelosi
“These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views -- but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.” -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), writing in USA Today, August 10.
While thousands demonstrated against healthcare today, Pelosi, Lewis and Hoyer eta'l walked defiantly in front of them straight to the Capitol. "We don't care what you think," was the message they radiated. Afterall, Pelosi had worked diligently behind the scenes, wheeling and dealing through bribery, backroom deals and coercion in order to ensure that Obama's Healthcare Plan would pass. This was her moment.It is said that this is the biggest socialistic program in the history of the United States in spite of every poll and survey saying that the majority of Americans do not want this Plan and want smaller government.
In 1948 while campaigning for president, Norman Thomas of the Socialist Party of America said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” Norman, if you're looking down on us, your statement has come true.
And now I can finally get health care insurance.

ReplyDeleteLynn,
The American public should not be disappointed in either the President or the Democrats in Congress. They were Socialists before they went to Washington, and will remain so for life. They were, of course, aided by the perfect storm of having controlling majorities in both houses of Congress and the Presidency. But even this can ultimately be attributed to the Republicans, with their ineffective media model, a liberal 'Main-Stream-Media', an apathetic public, and a lack of leadership by the Republican representatives.
What we should be disappointed in are the Republicans who for the last eight or more years failed to govern effectively, and then failed to adequately respond to the lies and distortions being told about them by the MSM and the Democrats. That is ultimately where the fault lies and a change in leadership in November will change nothing. (And how could one forget the mistake that Iraq became?)
We voted for 'Change' and 'Change' is exactly what we are getting -- and probably deserve.
