How many no's can the Democrats ignore?

Hey you’ll, I have returned. I have been away for a few months while I focused on my school work. I couldn’t remain quiet though throughout this battle over the passing of Obama Care. I wonder how many no’s from the American people can the Democrats ignore?
The idea behind the healthcare reform bill has validity. No one should be without insurance, but allowing the government to regulate and control the healthcare industry will result in 250 million uninsured people not the exaggerated number of 24 million people often referred to by pundits. It’s important to keep in mind that a large percentage of those currently uninsured are people who have chosen to not look for a job, to accept welfare checks every month, and to get by on sympathy from others. I know that not everyone who doesn’t have insurance falls into this category, but if you subtract this percentage from the numbers given out, then you start to wonder the obvious question. Does the government need to reconstruct as well as manipulate an industry affecting everyone to help a small percentage of people? The answer is no!
Also, the platform used by Democrats that helped get Barack Obama elected along with other Democrats into Congress the previous year was a promise to help the average Joe. They promised to do away with excessive spending brought on by a bunch of greedy Republicans led by former President Bush. Hmm, I guess they had too much wine when they celebrated since they forgot their pledge. I won’t mention the laundry list of wasteful expenditures that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed have burdened the tax payers with. The latest 2.1 trillion dollar budget should help illustrate this point. Oh, they don’t want you to consider their trip aboard five private jets along with rides aboard fancy limos while they mingle with the environmental wackos in Copenhagen. Those luxurious planes and vehicles are coming out of tax payers’ pockets. I guess they are sacrificing their holiday time trying to find a way to save the planet from the extreme heat as they wear snow boots to the meetings with hacks such as Al Gore.
Ok, enough with my rants. What evidence can be used to demonstrate that the current healthcare proposal will only hinder not help the American people? The Democratic Party that has bickered about the problems with Medicare and Medicaid have been unable to create a bill even though they have a super majority in the Senate, have a majority in the House, and they are in control of the White House. They still can’t agree on a bill since they know that if they pass such a bill their time in Washington will officially end. Yesterday the Washington Post and NBC published a poll on how Americans feel about the current healthcare bill. These two news outlets aren’t exactly known for siding with Conservatives either. The poll shows that 61% of Americans opposed such a takeover. Wait, I thought that Americans were demanding a change in healthcare though. The last proof that can’t be ignored is President Obama’s approval rating. If Barack Obama really reflected what the American people believed in. If President Obama actions showed that he planned to do whatever it took to improve the lives of all Americans, and if he ever displayed any sign that his actions were based upon the principles that this country was founded on his rating wouldn’t have dropped so drastically. The President can’t make everything happen that’s understood, but the President can make a big difference when his party holds a majority in the legislative branch. His approval rating has dropped from 57% to 44% according to the latest Rasmussen poll. A clear indication that the American people disapprove on issues such as these healthcare bill.
If poll data, voter’s consensus, nor parliamentarian’s regulation longer matter to the Liberal and Moderate Democrats. If these principles are ignored in a representative democracy, then the nation changes from a democracy to a utilitarian dictatorship. The government will act based on what they believe is the greatest good for the greatest number of people even if they know that their hurting more people than they are helping. Please keep telling your Senator to vote no on this measure. Please keep emailing and calling Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska. Keep in mind that it only takes one Democrats to fall through the cracks to accomplish defeating another government imposing bill. How many different ways can a voter say no before politicians in Congress will listen?
James.

It's an excellent blog post. The post is quite informative and you can obtain rather a lot of information from it. I am glad It's not everyday dribble drabble. I completely agree with you. The other question I'd address is, if we are in debt now, what will happen if we adopt this health care system? They failed at clash for clunkers, the bail outs, and they don't do so well in general. Why should they be in charge of this?

P.s. I have this thing on my favorites... I'll check back.
