Harry Reid Can't Be Serious
Harry Reid likens the fight for healthcare legislation to the fight for civil rights and women's sufferage. Equal rights is not the same as gov't provided/subsidized health insurance. Why is he so concerned about Republicans blocking the passage of the bill, when there is a Democratic majority and he doesn't need a single Republican vote to pass his bill? Lets not even get into the irony of his comparison of this situation to the (Dem) filibuster of the civil rights bill. Maybe he should worry about the fact that he doesn't have all of the votes of his Democrat buddies, or maybe he should worry about the state of Nevada. His constituents don't like what he's doing with healthcare. Maybe he should listen to them and the majority of Americans. Instead he took the more politically expedient road, and criticized all Republicans. He can't really think this is the way to bring about "change." He can't really be serious.

I completely agree. Another huge irony with his statements is Civil Rights and Woman's Sufferage was about withholding rights from people. This rediculous healthcare bill is about taking away the rights of everyone. You would be forced to participate.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the healthcare bill has no intention of lowering costs like it claims. Why haven't they addressed the actual causes of why healthcare is so expensive: Perscription costs, frivilous lawsuits, illegals draining the system. In my opinion, this whole things is just an opportunity for a hostle take-over of the healthcare system. They've already done it to the financial system.
