United We Fail

By Joel Bleifuss

This election year, the bandwagon to fix the healthcare system barrels along. On board is a motley crew of self-styled reformers, the agents of change. But not all change is created equal. And nowhere is this truer than with healthcare reform. In… return to article

    Divided is the way ‘they’ like us.

    This year with the media option of change lite and change little, why throw your vote away with some lessor of the two, and as Dr. Paul and other current and former “third party” (there are far more than three other parties) cast your ballot for the one that makes sense to your own ears and hopes for this nation.

    This issue of health care for American Citizens is great, do you really think the two parties that have given us the current ‘system’ will change it? With every “insurane” company and every other “industry” connected with passing cash and checks around, do you think they want a change? Middlemen only cost you your money without any thing in return. Look into how much these “industies” have paid lobbists to meet with Your representatives,,, have you ever met one representative that supposedly works for you?


    As Dr. Paul has recently said,

    “I hope to get as many votes for Ralph Nader as possible”.

    Dr. Paul is out of this race,,, you decide.

    I’m truly sorry to see the folks at Sojourners unite what I believed was their cause for social justice with the motivations of those responsible for much of that injustice.

    Equality and greed do not mix.

    Barack Obama is a Nazi good cop.

    He’s a kinder, gentler place keeper between authoritarian regimes.

    He’s a powerful sedative that allows Americans to keep believing that change is possible within the envelope of representative democracy.

    He’s a fraud.

    Well, If the country wants to vote Socialist/Marxist, so be it. That doesn’t mean he is MY President. I didn’t vote for him and never will vote Democrat again. I truly believe this country will now experience an attack that will make 9/11 dim in comparison. God help us.

    To SECurly,

    if we are attacked again, will you notice how they obstruct justice this time around?

    Only the guilty obstruct justice.

    The biggest clue to the guilt is how they act pretrial. In the case of the 9/11 attacks, the guilt is broadcast loud and clear.
    An unprecidented thing happened on the way to obstruction of justice. The guilty parties paid the “victims” families off before any courtroom discovery took place,,, AMAZING.
