Obama's Health-Care Bill

[larryJ]

I am curious.  The congressmen and women are now or soon will be back in their districts holding town hall meetings.  It seems that there is a huge bunch of Americans that are opposed to the health care bill.  What I am curious about is:  Will our/your Representative/Senator listen and change their way of thinking and their vote because they are REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE, or will they try to tell their constituents that they, the Congress, know what is good for America and this bill is good for America. The folks at those meetings should stress that these individuals are the REPRESENTATIVES of the this particular district, county, etc.

Hee Hee, Diane.  You know, I and my wife often thought that when our kids were grown and gone that there would be less housework, less dishes to wash, less laundry to do, and more free time because we wouldn't have to do as much housework.

Don't read into this that our kids didn't help out, they did.

HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS CHANGED_________THE WORKLOAD SEEMS TO BE THE SAME.  I TRIED TO BLAME IT ON MY IN-LAWS WHO SHOW UP EVERY WEEKEND, BUT WAS REPRIMANDED FOR EVEN THINKING THAT, SO---------------------------------



IT MUST BE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the statement of the people at the meetings calling out their reps on this.  However, I do not beleive in paid or volunteer professional activists going around the country calling out Congressmen and Senators that are not THEIR representative.  A lot of media baiting, attention grabbing nonsense is going on at these town hall meetings, and its not all from legitimate residents of the district or state, people who are actual constituents of the representative holding the meeting.

I am not commenting on the actual content of the demonstrations, just the manner in which they are occuring.

Lol! Glen Beck is an entertainer hired to entertain by preaching to whatever choir his employer supports. I'm not astonished by this, and he would certainly be preaching to another choir should he be paid to do so. He and Limbaugh and that ilk all belong to the same sorry group that profit on turmoil; there's no honor other than pure greed.

LOL glen beck is there because people want hm there.   IF they didn't he would be dropped like a hot potato.  Look at Air america.  They can't even pay the bills off of their "entertainment" "commetators" shows.  

And as far as greed?  who cares what glenn beck makes.  Its his money and he's intellegent enough to negotiate the money he makes.  Rush makes his 30 mill a year not from salary but he works on a percentage of what the advertisers pay. IF he wasn't wanted, they would just pull their dollars and he would be unemployed.

No Government-Run Health Insurance, No Bill, Say Liberal Supporters of Reform
The Obama administration appears to be stepping back from its insistence on a government-run health insurance plan, earning new wrath from the left as the president tries to appease vocal opponents of a "public option."


I also saw where the house.gov servers are crashing due to emails coming into the representatives servers objecting to obamacare.

Diane,

Patriot Act took away some liberties, although i don't think that is what Red was referring to, as it was done by republicans.
