Here's my voice on health reform:

Please don't have the government run the U.S. health care system.

"Please don't have the government run the U.S. health care system."

Heh, who's gonna run it then young man?

Halliburton?

Even ABC is shooting down Obama. Again, Obama and his admin just don't inspire confidence. The outright lies don't help, nor does the near constant panic mode for every issue on his overloaded agenda.

Every voice? Could we please iggy the insurance and drugs companies? That would be a good start.

I wouldn't want the government running the health care system, they are a bunch of incompetents. Bad enough they are going to end up running the banks.

skip: no, its those mid class people who are getting hit and if they happen to be small business owners, they get hit even worse

Yep. Personally, I sometimes feel like a sucker for actually paying my bills and get this...even paying taxes. I don't default, never have, and I don't plan on it. But it does piss me off to know that I'm spending $136 a month for health insurance only to see illegal aliens getting it for free. My sister defaulted on her credit card, didn't pay for 6 months, then the bank offered to erase all of the negative credit reporting, close the account, and let her pay it off at 2.9% interest per year. And for me? I get a notice saying that my interest rate is going from 7.9% to 19.99% even though I've never missed a payment in my life. That's due to "extraordinary financial circumstances in the market now." Yeah, like my sister and Bank of America throwing billions away on bad management decisions. It makes me feel good to know that I'm paying for other people's mistakes just because I'm one of the people who is able to pay.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if having enough money is worse than having none at all. I feel like I'm being stripped of any benefit that used to come with being a responsible person. It seems that I'd be better off doing nothing and just getting it for free (or 2.9%).

I'm still so deeply bitter and upset about Senator McCain's defeat that I ignore and/or critisize everything the Obama administration does, whether I understand it or not, or indeed if it's good for America or not.

Actually Republicans dodged a bullet when McCain lost. Obama getting elected with a strong Democratic Senate and Congressional majority is the best thing that could have happened to the Republican party. It exposes Democrats for what they really are; Tax and Spenders. The economy belongs to them and as they over spend, over tax and make it more difficult for companies to earn a profit, the economy and the American people will continue to suffer and then there will be an opportunity for real reform.

Heh, no.

Ok, hear my voice. Get a job, buy health care before you buy that ipod, cell phone plan, a new car AND have kids. Then I won't ask you to pay my bills, and you won't have to ask me to pay yours. Can it get any clearer?

Go on, uhm...heh, rollo...

...writing it a few more times on JT will make it true.

Madverts, I back you up there. By definition, anything Obama does is wrong, because he's a Democrat party member who won the election. We must rise and resist, remember the Sons of Liberty. We must meet socialist policies with a fist.
Madverts at 04:18 AM JST - 7th March

Thank ye Mr Hustler, sir. Remember people...it's one small step from public transportation to communism.

Yes, screw what the majority of Americans voted for democratically, meet those policies that a majority of Americans wanted with a fist and install a dictatorship, so you can dictate to your policies so the majority of Americans can see the error of their ways.

Kind of like what some people did for the last 8 years under Bush... I don't include you in that group, but needless to say the Obama bashers have a playbook they're following.

Super,

I just haven't cemented the stock phrase for radical left. It's coming :)
