Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Hypnotic Speech Techniques
So what was the Democrat's answer to the Republicans? Crumbs tossed to the Republicans.

How can it cost $940 billion to save money down the road? Money we don't have. Sounds like a Nigerian scam email.

The savings down the road is based on certain conditions that are not certain and that may be over optimistic. If you say the estimate is accurate are you willing to guarantee it?

If there is any fraud to be eliminated, why wasn't it eliminated on day one of the Obama administration? If there was waste and fraud, not eliminating it already was a failure.

What is in the bill to keep health care costs down and lower the price of insurance like the original purpose of health care reform?

It will end up costing the same or more for health insurance so people making $200K will be taxed to keep the price down for people that can't afford it.

They say once the American people find out what is in the bill they will like it. Why didn't we know what is in the bill? Where has the promise of transparency and no backroom deals gone?

What happened to the no lobbyist influence promise? 6 lobbyists for each congressperson is what happened.

There is good stuff in the bill and bad stuff. All the controversy is over the good stuff and bad stuff, not anti health care reform. This is blamed on "the Republicans" while 34 of "the Democrats" voted no.

The Repubs were in the minority all along. The great struggle to get it passed was a struggle between the Democrats but a big smoke screen is used to shelter the Democrat battle by diverting the blame to "the Republicans"

Then when it is all over the Dems are whopping each other on the back and crowing it was a hell of a battle but we got it done despite "the Republicans" that gave us such a hard time.

What they have done is set up the conditions for the biggest nastiest campaign ever seen and they will blame that on "the Republicans" too.

And those greedy insurance companies are going to get their ass kicked too, right?

How is the Health Care sector of the stock market doing?

All of their gigantic campaign donations have paid off for them and your congress people have sold you out because they need the donations to get re elected. It is not that hard to figure out when you filter out the partisanship.

About the only thing we can do is dump out all the incumbents to let them know they are not going to buy their popularity with tax money that hasn't even been collected yet and may never be collected so it has to be borrowed. They can't buy success. Their credit has maxed out.

If you want to believe this is a Democrat/Republican issue, keep dreaming. It is a what's in the bill issue.

The something is better than nothing stance is a false dichotomy.
