In 1994 then-first lady Hillary Clinton, who headed the administration's task force on reforming the system, delivered a 1,000-page plan that was dubbed "Hillary Care," which required Americans and permanent resident aliens to enroll in a health plan. Other provisions included Americans below a certain income level paying nothing for care.It was all crafted behind closed doors as was the Democrats health plan this time. Maybe the Obama administration should get the messagethat Americans realize that his promise to have an open and transparent administration was just another lie told to get him elected!

During the Clinton years, Republicans decried the plan as overcomplicated and used it to tag the administration as big government-loving, tax-and-spend liberals.Compared with the over 2000 page monstrosity that the Democrats crafted in 2009 it was small! And the cost of the Democrat Health Care bill that will leave thousands still uncovered is too much for OUR failing economy to bear.

Misery and Suffering (poverty) is directly proportional to the funds set aside for its relief. Entitlements are causing people to become parasitic and will destroy the host! Let's not let our congressmen continue buying goodwill. The greatest charity is to give a person a good job and yes work is honorable. Let's also stop them from receiving entitlements voted for themselves only. Maybe they are the parasites? Let's clear foggy bottom? How? November 2010!

The Law of the Host.....when you have a fully parasitic non-cooperative relationship, the parasite will destroy the Host. Entitlements??

A parasite.......when you provide any species of life with safety, shelter, and food, without that species of life exercising mental thought or physical muscle, it causes injury to body parts, loss of body parts and in humankind, often the loss of moral character.

Faith has three elements...... Knowledge of certain facts, belief that those facts are true and trust, willing to risk something precious. Do you have faith in your congressman; do you have faith in their representation based on your first hand information? Are you willing to risk your vote in 2010? Think! Learn the facts!

wonder how much it cost America for the last year's waste of government time?

After the 08 election, Liberal crowed and strutted, and proclaimed, "We won! It's OUR country now!"

Americans begged to differ. Leftists stubbornly insisted America was no longer the United States of America, but the Liberal States of America. Newsweek boldly declared "We're all Socialists now!"

Americans went out and protested. Leftists called them names, lied about demonstrators being Nazis and racists, and continued to insist that the "bad old" America was dead -- replaced with a new Social Democracy, a central planning paradise.

Americans showed up at Town Hall meetings to express increasing anger at these radical Leftists. Liberals called them morons and attached a sexually-charged disparaging pseudonym to the citizens trying to make Congressmen understand just how badly they had miscalculated. Barney Frank's scolding of a constituent embodied the arrogance of the Left, as he said speaking to her was like "talking to a table leg, I have no interest in doing it, madame."

Americans marched on Washington DC in the hundreds of thousands -- and millions. Liberals pretended to be unaware of the protest, while simultaneously labeling the demonstrators as racists and possibly domestic terrorists. There were few (if any) arrests, and very little litter -- in contrast with the average Leftist demonstration in which scores of arrests follow violent rampages by masked thugs, millions of dollars in property damage, piles of trash everywhere, drugs and disgusting behavior.

Americans voted for Republicans in three key races. Liberals blamed anything and everyone, even the earthquake in Haiti, as they grasped after excuses to explain away their defeats. Obama even claimed people were sick to death of Republican failures -- so naturally they voted for Republicans in ultra-Liberal Massachusetts.

At this rate, by the end of this year, Liberals will be blaming UFOs, bigfoot, ghosts, and bad karma for their whopping failures and blistering defeats. After the 2010 mid-terms, the Democrats will be so desperate to explain their misfortune with taking any responsibility themselves, they'll become even more shrill, more irrational, more angry. The more they scream, the more the American people get to see what the Liberals are really made of: lies, bile and sleaze.

There's nothing wrong with America or the Constitution except those who say there's something fundamentally wrong with America and the Constitution. We don't need a "living document." We don't need a parliamentary system. We don't need to rewrite the Senate's rules. We don't need to scrap the Electoral College. Instead, we need to throw out the bizarre and destructive idea that we can have something for nothing, that we can vote ourselves entitlements with no concern for how we shall pay for them.

Ted Nugent put it well. You want pursuit of happiness? Great! Just don't send me the bill. You want to pursue all the happiness you can handle, that's fine but when the bills come due you better not try to force everyone else to pay your way. Life doesn't work that way, nor should it.

Charles K.is my all time favorite. My wife and I watch the Fox news at 7pm mostly to see him and hear his opinions which invariably agree with my own.He of course puts it a much better form. Many times I've watched as Juan Williams makes a comment followed by Charles very softly saying"that's not so and Juan never says yes it is or any comment. Charles is one great reporter. Go get 'em Charles.

The leadership we seek in matters of government from the office of President require a background of experience and development that were just not available to the incumbent. The political machine that succeeded in getting their candidate elected were themselves not prepared to recognize, let alone fill the 'empty resume' with genuine leadership skills. Many say he is a 'charming and intelligent person' but not one voice is heard to praise the absent leadership skills.

So 'we the people', the peasants, once again struggle onward hoping and yes praying for a return to a conservative non socialist approach to government that does not punish productivity and financial success. It is time for a job description for candidates to the Office of President that require leadership experience as a prerequisite to the holding of the office plus a mandate to honor promises to the electorate. Or is it to late to bother as we enter the slide to third world status where it is difficult to distinguish between the behavior of opposing parties and where deficit spending and corruption are a way of life.

And when will we, the peasants insist that deficit spending at all levels of government be made a crime, punishable by jail time...it is after all stealing from the next generation of Americans if that really matters to anyone.
