"Obama's health care plan will be written by a commitee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a congress that hasn't read it, whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who evaded his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country this is broke"
Now, we can laugh at this, but you know, if you stop and think about it, it could also make you cry because as you are aware as I that no one in congress understands the entire bill.
It is impossible. From front to back, the document is couched in Government jargon. However, you and I both know that when Congress stared pushing the bill that:
The majority of our representatives had not read it and consequently...
They had no idea what was in it, and...
They knew they were exempt from it.
Given the third point, it is obvious why they were indifferent to the first two points.
Hey, we're just stupid and ignorant beasts of the field out here. They're imprortant: they're congressmen (at least until 2010)
I don't see how anyone can argue those points, nor this fourth one: OUR PRESIDENT SMOKES.
Of course, smoking is his own choice. It's no skin off my nose if he wants to savage his body like that, but he has a lot of gall to insist he knows what's best for millions of American's while abusing his own body.
And then he wants our "troops" to no longer be able to smoke while in the field?
On top of all this, we cannot dispute the fact the Treasury Chief Geithner did not pay his 2001-2004 taxes in the amount of $43,100.00, or that the surgeon general from Alabama is over-weight.
What our president has given us is a collection of administrators with little or no self-discipline to tell us what to do.
Excuse me for saying it, but thats like naming Bonnie and Clyde co presidents of the First National Bank and entrusting them with the bank customers money.
So to make this point #7, at 9:42 am August 20th, 2009 the U.S. Debt was $11,731,591,419,387 and growing over $100,000 every five seconds. The comes out in excess of $38,000 for each American, not counting the other people who aren't counted.
And then we have the trillions of the health care bill to add to this.
Now I hear from the media that the Democrats are tired of trying to come up with a bi-partisan bill. There's talk they'll go it alone, using the strong-arm tactic or "reconciliation,"
a political technique allowing a group to bend the rules enought to pass a bill.

The points you do make, casper are relegated to the fringe when you meander like this. I understand your passion, but stay focused on one thing when you post.
If you are trying to say that Congress should read the bills they vote on and the President signs, then yes, I am in agreement.
Just leave out the extraneous info.

The Congressman I heard last night at the town hall meeting read and understood the bill just fine.
The people there who opposed it, however freely admitted that they didn't read, couldn't read it, or tried but gave up because they couldn't understand it.
Just because they're too stupid to understand the bill doesn't mean that everyone is - just because they can't read more than 12 pages at a time means that no one will (12 pages for a bill was a specific request from several conservatives last night at the town hall meeting).
Rhetoric is poisoning this country.-
"but on page 493... i had it right here" (summary quote, care of Daily Show)
