Barack Obama’s Experiment Will Kill Your Adorable Children!
Monday, July 20, 2009 at 10:37 am
The Republican National Committee’s new ad — running in Arkansas, Nevada, and North Dakota — isn’t all that subtle. The Freudian takeaway words and images: Children, debt, “risky experiments.”
Why those three states? There are three Senate races between them in 2010. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) is probably the most endangered, being from the state that experienced the biggest drop in support from John Kerry in 2004 to Barack Obama in 2008, although Republicans have not found a top-tier opponent for her yet. Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) is not in any danger unless Gov. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) runs, which is something the governor is expected to decide in September. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has poor approval ratings, but Republicans have proven utterly unable to find a good candidate to run against him.
None of those three candidates will benefit if the Senate is seen to have fumbled health care reform, so the goal here seems to be driving local numbers down to encourage Republicans to run in 2010.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment as a guest. I am from Georgia. I do NOT want Gov. Universal Healthcare. We do not need it in any State. We are a generous Nation that donates time & money to persons/charities & many different organizations. The Pharmaceutical Companies also donate needed drugs including generics to those whom the doctors suggest.The Doctors donate time pro-bono to patients who cannot pay & the hospitals also cooperate with the patients for cash & extended payments.WE ARE A CHARITABLE NATION AT HEART. The president will be taking that away. Also do we really want our records online as the Pres. says.What about the AID's patients who have worked hard to have their privacy? Do not suggest no hackers.We have had the CIA & FBI both hacked into That is a big issue to address. Bottom line is those who want can- buy a policy,those illegal immigrants need to go back home,have their babies in their own Country,those that have portfolios need to live off them as they age.So much of our economy needs to be fixed.Obama is lying when he says we need universal Gov. Healthcare. We cannot afford this man as we can see by the trillions he has already put us in debt for. He runs banks- wall street,-auto companies- wants Cap &Trade NOW.He is imploding America.We just cannot afford him in our Healthcare for all the above & more.WE MUST STOP THIS MAD MAN & HIS CO HORTS PELOSI & REID

There are a lot of things we can't afford. Unnecessary wars and unnecessary Cold War weapons systems come to mind. And, if you think the goodness of the Insurance companies and Big Pharma's hearts are sufficient to get us all decent, affordable health care, you haven't been paying attention…

During the election BO remarked, “We have the best Health Care in the World, let's change it”.If it is the best, why change it. I'll agree that the business end of Health Care leaves something to be desired. You can make changes but why abandon something that is working and could work better. Medicaid had been in effect for over 30 years but they don't talk about changing how that works or expanding a working program to cover those in need of insurance/health care. It has some advantages in that people are familiar with it and it will not throw the system into chaos.
Why abandon something that works for something that will be considerably worse.

I think it's far under our National Prestige level for a country as powerful as ours to not insure every one when most advanced industrialized country's do and spend less doing it. I feel America has lost is sense of unity and generosity. We must take the problem and cost of health care now so that the country gets better. See not only has this become a moral issue but as soon and this issue came to the world stage ” America Getting Rich off the Sick” This health care plan issue became a matter of national prestige. If we don't insure universally it will take are national prestige down and give the world media yet anther story of how money controls politics in Washington. I think the American people forgot that we are always being watched by the history books. What will historians say of are country and the way are civilization functions. They will see how all the governments of the world work and they will see how one was the size and looks like a advance industrialized country but had the stats of sick and unemployment of a third world country. Why is it we American's can give nothing up anymore, Have we really become what we hate. When people think of Benedick Arnold we think trader but he was acting on the “Minority View of the Rich” of stay with England, but we must not let the “Minority View of the Rich” win the founding father's didn't they took a stand a fight for a new nation despite what The rich few said ” We must stay loyal to the
Crown” we know now what are fondling father's chose the new path the path of the moral and the just we must pass health care for the American Dream no family in a industrialized country should have to worry about health care. The only thing i want American's thinking about is how to better improve each others live to make a better America.
