Really...highway funding is tied to the public option? I don't even have the ambition to read this thing. I've started but it's like reading a horror story.

I'm taking a brake from trying to read the thing... still got over 1,900 to go. Yeah I don't buy health insurance... not because I couldn't afford it but my husband and I choose to put or money to other things since neither of us go to the doctor often and have a great doctor who discounts our bill for not having health insurance. Medicaid is a huge problem in New York and the private practices...

Glad to hear it... I think we need conservative thinkers... I'm being conservative everyday looking at my budget and we need that coming from our government. Bush was no conservative in my opinion. We do need change... the Republicans and the Democrats have lost touch... Enough walking the line and give the people what they need... responsibility. I'll have to research him more to know if I thi...

Looking at the clips of the Tea Party there certainly is a difference in the way the different networks reported it, Fox News was much more kind and didn't go looking for the couple of loons in the crowd... funny the loons seemed to have the professionally made signs and not the obviously handmade ones. Look at this CNN clip... the protesters who had the professional printed signs were not ...

It's just shocking... I wonder where did they get the printed signs? CNN was not reporting on the majority of the tea party people...

I will see what I can find. I've heard that in it is the fine will be something like 2.5%+ of your gross income if you don't purchase healthcare. I've already noticed a ton of things that will definitely raise the cost of purchasing health care and also the new restrictions on pre-existing condition time limits makes it even easier to not purchase and just sign up if something comes up. I'm try...

I've been really shocked by listening to the Right wing radio programs and finding that they did attack the Republicans that they don't think are doing right for the people. Mark Levin really lays into the Bad Republicans... he's got a cute name for them.

I took the Rush challenge like a week ago and the feeling I got from listening is that he believes the conservatives need to take the Republican party back...or was that Levin? I thought by third party they usually meant independents?

We all have the right to healthcare in America... anyone including illegals can walk into a hospital and get treatment if they need it. We don't throw them in jail if they can't pay their bill, illegals never pay and hospitals go under because of this. Hospitals quite often do erase part of the bill for people who can't afford their treatment, then the government wants those individuals to pay ...
