Digging up an old thread rather than starting anew. It is really bothering me that many news organizations and political reporters are repeatedly saying that the republicans are going to vote against the health care reform in an effort to deliver a crushing blow to the democratic president... what bothers me is that these politicians are not acting in the interest of their constituents and doing what is best for the country and the people they represent. Instead they are playing the politics as usual... So instead of making an honest bipartisan effort or at least a good effort to craft a health care bill that benefits millions of Americans, they are gonna try and kill it for political gain... Health care is a right not a privilege.... Health care saves, improves and prolongs LIFE. A healthy life is directly related to a happier one, SOOOOO... does this ring any bells???????
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
Health care is a right guaranteed to all Americans by the Declaration of Independence...
Therefore, (using Republican Logic); to oppose legislation that would provide health care to all Americans is downright UN-American.. Certainly it goes against the values our Founding Fathers intended

Also how can the party that claims to be the champion of small business oppose legislation that would solve about 60% of small business bankruptcies??? (about 60% are a result of health related causes)

Hypocrisy is definitely my Pet Peeve... wherever that thread is hiding...
