  • Why did George W Bush not win the Noebel Peace Prize?

    He did liberate the Iraqi people from a tyrant that had killed over 1 million of his own countryman. Oh that is why because the people that vote for the Nobel are socialists communist themselves and believe a Dictatorship is the best form of government. The Nobel Peace prize has become meaningless, useless just like the United Nations.

  • Nobel Peace Prize???? Who won and why?

    Did he receive it because he has done nothing? Did he receive it because he is a leftist socialist just like the committee that voted for him to have it? Did he receive it because he is African American(oh wait he is mixed Kenyan-Indonesian-Chicagoan Mob-Acorn activist American)? Please dont tell me because of HOPE. I hope not another terrorists attacks anyone anywhere ever again!!! I should get the prize for that statement alone.

  • Why do they want a government run program?

    Look at what the government runs now.

    1. United States Post Office already lost 2 billion this year

    2. Medicare/Medicaid 650 million in unpaid claims

    3. VA the government executives that run it get bonuses while vets are not getting checks

    4. School system- I live near Dallas Texas and only 49% of students graduate with a High School diploma

    5. IRS- Since this is collecting money you never hear of problems running the IRS, they did have issues with customer service before

    6. Oil industry - because of so many regulations put on oil companies they have the mindset make all the money we can now because the government will regulate and take it over someday.

    7. Federal Insurance laws and regulations - I work for a very large corporation and due to federal regulations I cannot purchase the better insurance thru my compan that is available to employees in California, I have to get the higher plans here in Texas.

    8. Mortgage industry - years and years of the government pressuring banks and mortgage companies to increase home ownership caused certain types of loans to be created to get people into homes they cannot afford. Now look at where we are

    9. Amtrak - never has every made money

    10. Public transportation - always loosing money and raising fares

    11. Cars for Clunkers - the current admin could not even manage a small 1 billion dollar program.

    Now the Kool Aid drinkers want to give the government the ability to run healthcare. How would it be any differen then any of the government run industries above?

  • The Obama Plan Contains Costs. Just like they have contained costs so far.?

    Absolute nonsense.

    The Obama plan will cost more than $1 trillion in new federal outlays, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

    This past weekend, Sen. Joe Lieberman claimed that most of this cost comes from adding 50 million people, currently uninsured, to the government health system.

    But as Lieberman pointed out, we just don't have the money to do this right now.

    You can add only so many people to the government system by cutting medical care to seniors on Medicare and raising taxes.

    Democrats clearly plan to do both.

    We already have an estimated 9 trillion deficit the next 10 years and they want to add more and more.

  • 'You Keep Your Doctor, You Keep Your Insurer' WHAT?

    This is a complete fabrication.

    Under plans Obama has backed in the House and the Senate, almost any business can opt their employees into the "public option" — the government health plan.

    That means you could lose your insurer. And if your doctor is worth his salt, you'll lose him or her as well.

    Why? Because great doctors probably will not want to get the very low rates the government will pay private doctors who are part of the new government system.

    So, without your consent, you very easily could lose your insurer and your doctor.

    If you owned a business and could save money by eliminating healthcare coverage for your employees, would you do it? Most will because it will affect the bottom line.

    They call us MOBS for exposing the truth

  • Healthscare bill only will cost 1.3 Trillion over ten years. Have you looked into the numbers?

    Most people cannot comprehend a Million Dollars much less a Billion Dollars or a Trillion Dollars. To give you an idea the difference between a Million and a Trillion I have list below.

    1 Million seconds equals 11.574 days or 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

    1 Billion seconds equals 11,574 days Which is about 31 years 8 months.

    1 Trillion seconds equals 31,688 years 269 days 17 hours 34 minutes 25 seconds

  • What do you think of the Cash For Cars Program?

    Sounds good at first. But look into what it really is doing.

    A 1971 Olds Tornado with a 454 V8 with no catalytic converter is not a CLUNKER based on the program. I

    Only cars from 1984 and newer qualify for the program so if you drive something from the 60's 70's or 80's before 1984 your car is not a Clunker. After you trade your car in the govenment is destroying the car. It could be in perfect condition and just be old but they will destroy. This will make the used car market scarce on vehicles which will make used cars more expensive which will affect the poorest that cannot afford a 15-30K car.

    One other thing. How are all these people going to make their monthly payments on these loans. They only get $4500.00 off a 12k-30k car. In 6-8 months Geithner will come out with the Car Loan bailout.

    Called Making Cars Affordable Loan Modification Program.

  • Where is the long version of Hussein's Birth Certificate?

    The one that gives the Doctors name, hospital name and information that is convincing and actually proves he was born in Hawaii. What he released could not be used to get social security card or a drivers license and probably could not even admit your kids to our great Public School system.

    Below is a link that shows his Certificate and a real Hawaiian Birth Certificate. Go to page two

    PRODUCE THE DOCUMENT THAT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED????

  • Healthcare to cover all Americans!!!?

    This should mean all members of the government including the Senate, Congress and the President should be setup with the same government plan. I wonder what insurance company the Government has their insurance plan through. I bet they will not be eliminating their coverage to become covered under this great new healtscare plan.

    If they will not change to it and it is not good enough for them then how can it be good enough for all AMERICANS?

  • How do you feel about Fannie MED?

    The Obama administration claims there are 47 million people in American without health coverage. Look at the real numbers. 12 Million of these are illegal, they need to get healthcare from their government. Another 20 million do not want healthcare, they are 20 somethings that make plenty of money but are healthy and do not want and some of these 20 million are some of the richest people in America and they can pay for any services they need. Do you think Brad and Angelina need government healthcare? Now we are down to 15 million. There still is another 5 million that have a lasp in coverage. This means they changed jobs and their new employer may have a 90 day or a 6 month waiting time before eligible for healthcare. So this leaves about 10 million people that do not have insurance. Does this mean they do not get health treatment. No. I live in the Dallas Forth Worth area and there are two hospitals one in each city that all people go to that cannot pay. The state turns around and provides government money to pay for the healthcare provided to people that are not in the categories above. WAKE UP AMERICA. Government Healthcare is not about helping people it is aobut more control over the people.

  • Will Al Gore Destroy America?

    http://content.usatoday.com/topics/post/tech/68494...

    Look at this story. Another story questioning Global Warming. Just think Al Gore wants you to believe that everything you breath out you are contributing to Global Warming. Al Gore and the Liberals use Global Warming just as they are using Health Care to make the government bigger and have more control over the people. Soon they will tell us to stop drinking water because our pee is destroying the soil. Or they will tell us we cannot fly on airplanes anymore because we could affect how winds blow on earth. Look at this list of information. Al Gore and the Main Stream media report information for the AL GORE paid scientists. There are about 17 that continuously show up on TV warning us. Global Warming is hoax and Al Gore has become a millionaire because people are such fools. Dont get me wrong I agree there are things we can do to make things better on earth, but for them to tell me when "I BREATH OUT IT IS CONTRIBUTING TO GLOBAL WARMING" give me a break!!!
