Roy Blunt: Don’t Be Intimidated by People Calling You Racists
Friday, September 18, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who’s mounting a somewhat under-covered Senate campaign in 2010, got the crowd on his side at the Value Voter Summit by mocking former President Jimmy Carter’s comments that some of the opposition to President Obama was motivated by race.
“It seems to me that President Carter got a lot of criticism when he was president,” said Blunt. “I guess they were offended by a white man in his 50s.” Conservatives, said Blunt, “can’t be intimidated” by those sorts of attacks.

* THE FINE ART OF DENYING 45 MILLION AMERICANS HEALTH~CARE IN OUR JUDEO~CHRISTIAN NATION IS NOT RACIST AT ALL,IT'S JUST OUR BEHIND THE SCENE WEALTHY ELITE CITIZENS KEEPING ALL THE POOR FOLK DOWN *
AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LEADERS ALL ACROSS THE USA HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON THEIR RELIGIOUS FLOCK TO CONTRIBUTE(TITHE)THEIR HARD EARNED MONIES TO THEIR MINISTRIES EVERY WEEK.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ATTENDING RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN THE U.S. ARE MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR CITIZENS WHO NOW DESPERATELY NEED THE HELP AND SUPPORT FROM THESE SAME U.S.RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN LOBBYING THE U.S.CONGRESS TO PROVIDE PROPER HEALTH~CARE FOR ALL POORER AMERICANS.
***THERE ARE CURRENTLY AN ESTIMASTED 45 MILLION MEN WOMAN AND CHILDREN WITHOUT HEALTH~CARE IN THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD????
SILENT AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO ALL HAVE HEALTH~CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IS MUCH MORE FRIGHTENING THEN THE POSSIBLE DENIAL OF A FUTURE HEALTH~CARE PLAN FOR ALL…

The result of the healthcare debate will not be determined by blind followers, political maneuvering, personal conscience, financial interests, and certainly not by a discussion of the facts. The issue will be decided by whoever applies the most CAPSLOCK

Liz,
No,no. It will be decided by the majorities of the House and Senate.
