Joe Lieberman, His loyalties are where?
OK enough with Joe "the back stabbing bast***" Lieberman, when are we as a Democratic party gonna boot this guy. I mean come on in the last election he supported McCain, and actually had the balls to call President Obama a "Muslim", He slammed Obama during the entire election like he was in a professional wrestling match. After the election Obama being the bigger man talked with the back stabber and talked Reid and the dems into letting Lieberman keep his seat as the Chairman of Home land security. If you want my two cents and I m sure you don't if your conservative, I say boot the guy, if he wants to be a republican strip him of his committee seat and make him caucus with he republican party, and in his next election bid make sure his constituents know he voted for the Insurance companies and not his states best interest. Good riddance and get rid of the bast***. He is going to filibuster with the GOP because of one simple reason, his wife Haddassah is a lobbyist for the Pharmaceutical/ Health care provider GlaxoSmithKline. Have any wonder to where his loyalties lie? It definitely is not with the people of Connecticut.

The Opt Out
In the health care debate , we are finally seeing some progress, but what about letting states "Opt out". When I first heard this I was a little unsure but after some thought, It may not be such a bad idea for democrats after all and here is why I say this. Imagine we get a Health care bill and every one for the first year has access to the Government Medical Insurance Program, then after a year Republican strong holds, Conservative state run Governments decide they want out of the "government program" and opt out. Well here is where it could become a good thing for the democrats. The red states would go back to the option we have now inflated prices with no real control on prices, and you would see the poor and the self employed either uninsured again or with minimal coverage at an extreme price. Then you have a state next door with the public option and the people of that state paying 1/2 if not less that the red state. From this point the republicans in control of the state would then have to explain to their constituents why they are paying inflated health care prices when the state next door has better, cheaper, health care. I think from this point you would see more republicans voted out of office and in the states where the local government opted out the big local issues would be health care and opting in. This may be another place where Republicans shoot them selves in the foot.

How do we pay for it?
Seems Republicans are so worried about the deficit we leave to our grand children, you hear them beat that drum over and over again. But when it comes to war and the war machine, why are they the exact opposite? I have not been able to figure this out, Are they really the war mongers, or are they really "chicken hawks", I cant say but I do know for a fact that when it comes to deficit spending they want none of it. No help for children, the elderly, the sick, the poor.
So if Republicans who want to cut "entitlement" spending, to save our grand children from all this deficit burden, why do they so easily turn around and want to spend trillions in a war effort. I have a step son in the military, Army ranger and he has served in Iraq, and this was a pretty scary time for his mother and I, we did a lot of praying for those fifteen months, and he luckly came home safe. He is from what we are told going to be deployed into Afghanistan, and with this knowledge, I have to say give Obama his time to think this over.
Maybe if the last admin would have done this, we never would have gone in to Iraq and we might possibly be out of Afghanistan by now, but this we will never know and today we have what we have. So I say mister President please make sure, if you are going to be sending our soldiers in to harms way, make sure it is for a real purpose, a real mission, don't send them into fight for an "ideology" or nation building. From a Step parent of an Army Ranger please before you put my family member in harms way, make sure you know, he knows and we as a nation know why he is going in. Any ways back to how are we going to pay for it. So when this deficit spending comes up, ask your local "Conservative" how they intend to not leave the rest of this war spending to our Grand children. Because the last President has already left 1.3 trillion from the last eight years. So, mister fiscal conservatives, how do you intend to pay for the continued war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is a great video put together by media matters, and shows the truth behind Fox noise. Lets face it, Fox News wants to call it self a "news" organization, but once they actually took up the mantra of being the 24 hour anti Obama TV station and nothing more, they stopped being news and became a political adversary.
Census Count
Here is a funny one for you, we hear Michelle Bachman yelling for "Conservatives" to "not participate" in the up coming census. Does this Kook realize if "Conservatives" do not participate in the census, they could find themselves in Democratic strong holds. Wouldn't that be ironic, that the one tool Delay used to remake Texas a Republican strong hold, would actually hurt the GOP. And how much do you wanna bet that the "Conservatives" that do not participate in the census from that point on will then blame President Obama, as they blame him for everything else. What happened to the GOP mantra "self responsibility" well I guess that only counts for those of use who are not Republicans.
