nor do you even really understand it? But don’t feel bad.
Just face reality.
You listen to Fox, CNN, pundits, so-called experts~~~~and you base your opinions on what they feed you. Government writes pages and pages of bs which could well fit into fifty pages. Then they ‘delete’ existing this, and ‘amend’ existing that, and they interject some other sesquipedalian garbage. Its all so ridiculous.
One man or woman didn’t write a thousand pages. Many many individuals were involved in writing this bs.
Pres Obama, Biden, Clinton and all of the members of the House and Senate didn’t read the darn thing either. Most of you didn’t either.
You just argue over bs.
The President, Vice President, his staff ~~~Most of your legislators receive free health care (medical, dental, vision). You pay for such benefits.
Do you really think they care a ratz behind about the average American?
Don’t you realize that the reason the package is so voluminous is to confuse you, to steer you into believing what they don’t even understand themselves, as long as They are covered? Shouldn’t your concern rest with demanding that the legislators re-write HR3200 taking out all of the bs, and make it readable and understandable to American taxpayers?
Pres Obama or any other legislator can’t explain HR320. Not at a Town Hall Meeting. Not during an ‘exclusive’ interview.
In fact, no one in Washington can.
One thing left to do then?
Demand that it be cut down so that it is understandable to american taxpayers.
I doubt they would even know where to begin…..

Exactly, the very fact that it is so voluminous and tedious that the common person cannot read it is all I need to know about that smokescreen and the reason it should be rejected by all.
I already know they don’t care about me and this is just another instrument for gauging me of my money and robbing me of my freedoms.
- all I need to know.

Problem is that neither has Congress… One wonders what the heck we pay them to do… Geez anyone could just vote on anything that the “Boss” told me to… doesn’t take much intelligence to do that … heck we could hire a group of chimps to do that… hey wait a minute..

At this point, many of the normal people like you and I have actually read it by now… yet they still have not… I think it has less with the fact they don’t have time, and more with that they just… don’t want to read it.

I think you are absolutely correct in your assumptions and it’s hard to believe any could quarrel with your statement. But some are witless, so I don’t know.

Why not? People read some of it or see reports of what’s supposedly in it and they argue.

I do not watch CNN, Fox News, or any other television show because we got rid of our television in April (long story). I have tried to read the healthcare bill, and it is going to take me a year to get through it. I don’t feel bad about not being able to read more quickly. I feel bad that our country is being taken over by people who hate us, Republicans and Democrats.

its Common sense everyone knows how corrupt the federal government is do you want the government to run our life, i dont. The tactics from the Obama continue
1. Use Scare tactics and tell the people it’s a crisis or an emergency if we don’t act now things will get worse! Like the stimulus package! How is that working now look at unemployment, still over 9%.
2. If that don’t work continue get the main steam media mainly NBC or PBC President Bama coverage to report in favor of all the presidents policies
3. Try to silence all people who disagree with the Presidents policies call them racists and right wing extremists
4. Get all neighbors to report all fishy misinformation on health care to the white house that sounds constitutional!
5. Get Acorn and SEIU to protest violently go after most normal americans who disagree with the presidents policies and beat them people up either verbally or physically.
6. Blame former President Bush wow yeah some black people who struggle in life or commit crimes continually blame white people from the past happens a lot why should a radical man like President Obama be any different.
Bi partisan my a– the president goes after all who disagree with him. Is that change you can believe in! Is it really liberal, conservative, democrat or republican politics we really care about. Is that what the Obama admin wants you to believe to divide us, he can use all his tactics so the government can run our lives. Biggest question are you for Freedom or Big government lets think about that think common sense question. So many different people worked so hard to get that freedom!

I’ve read much of it, and more than that I know Obama and Frank have said this is a stepping stone to purely socialized medicine, they want that, and I don’t.
The fact that it’s completely Unconstitutional should be the end of the Argument anyway.
The History of Government Programs should be the end as well. The Federal Government Controlling anything but what has been laid out in the Constitution has been a train wreck every time, this would be different? It never has been so far, what are we insane? We think it’s going to be different this time?

You don’t have to read more than the first hundred pages to see what a piece of crap it is.
I’ve had it with the phony “health care” issue whose only objective is control of you and nothing else. I’ve had it with the phony “birth certificate” issue, that is really only misdirection from the real issue which is how can a “constitutional professor” from an acclaimed university trained in another acclaimed law school, not know the meaning of the phrase “natural born citizen”? The answer is simply that he does know and, as usual he is lying to us. My explanation follows.
And if you should attend a “town hall” meeting, take a sign with you that says “I’m mad as HELL and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Then yell it out every time you hear a lie from your “representative”. You should be hoarse by the time you leave from having to shout so often.
An open letter to all fellow patriots and fellow Americans.
This is my writing and I take full responsibility for it. (Go ahead. Turn me in to the Owe Bama brown shirts collecting names of dissenters.)
This concept seems very hard for people to grasp. Perhaps it’s because our public education system would rather teach “sex education” than American History to our youth.
If I said “gay” what is the first thing you think of? I’ll bet it isn’t “happy”.
Let’s go back in time, 250 years ago. Unwed mothers were a rarity. Abortions even more rare. People of the opposite sex didn’t “live” together without the benefit of marriage. So, with that in mind, and remembering that the majority of those who wrote our Constitution were lawyers, lets analyze what they intended when they wrote in the Constitution “a natural born citizen”.
What our founding fathers feared more than anything else in the world is the government we have now. The one position they wanted to make sure would have no allegiance to any country but the United States was the Office of President of the U.S. and that is why it is the only position specifically addressed in the Constitution in Article Two, Section One.
A “natural born citizen” meant at the time of our forefathers, a citizen who was born in the United States of two parents who were citizens of the United States at the time of birth. This is derived from old English common law. This was the common usage of the term at that time, two hundred plus years ago. That included just about everyone being born in this country at that time.
Now, what do you think our forefathers thought of when someone said “gay”? I’ll bet it WAS “happy”. And this illustrates how a simple phrase “natural born citizen” has turned into “show me the birth certificate”. The birth certificate is nothing but a distraction. The only thing that matters is that obama’s a/k/a Barry Soetoro’s father was not a U.S. Citizen as required by the U.S. Constitution. And that fact is not in contention.
Remember also that our founding fathers did not put term limits on the President of the United States. That was done much later. And it’s high time term limits were imposed on every political office in this country, or we will never get our country back.
Our founders also risked, and in many cases lost, their own personal wealth, their health, and in some cases their lives and the lives of close family members. They made these sacrifices so that you could be free from the tyranny of the King of England. And despots and dictators of a like ilk.
Ben Franklin, and I’m paraphrasing here; when Franklin returned from Philadelphia a constituent asked him “And what did you give us? A monarchy or a republic?” Franklin’s reply was “A republic, if you are strong enough to keep it.”
I submit to you at this time, we have lost the strength to hold on to our republic for our children, grandchildren and all future heirs. And if we don’t want to lose it for all time, then now is the time to act while the foundation is still visible, even though our “shovel ready” politicians have heaped as much, well you can supply the term you want, on top of it as possible.
Every law professor of every major Ivy League law school in this country is well aware of this “natural born” requirement and what it means. Where are their voices? What or who has silenced them?
The real headline isn’t “Where is the birth certificate?” The real headline is “Where are all the legal professionals?” Other than Phillip Berg, it seems all other legal minds have been given a frontal lobotomy.
This is your country too. Stand up and be heard. Call for term limits for all politicians. Vote out any incumbents, regardless of party, that have served more than two terms. They are corrupt. Our forefathers never intended a political office to be a life long career.
And vote for the purification of the water in Chicago and Washington DC (District of Corruption). To have the corruption removed from the water before the politicians drink it.
Thank you for your consideration,
