i hope they don't take over in november, but once again become a viable voice in government and are properly chastened by their time as such an extreme minority. the domination of government by one party or the other only leads to legislation that tends toward the extremes and does no one any good. with a more conservative element having some say in congress, this health care fiasco may have been pared down to a sensible undertaking instead of the abortion it became. the blatant payoffs and sweetheart deals made to force it through would have been unnecessary if its scope weren't so broad, if it didn't include such a massive growth of government and had a less one sided approach to the matter. no one party should ever have such an overwhelming majority in our legislation and we will be paying the price for letting it happen for decades to come. the public's overcompensating hatred for baby bush's failures led us to this sorry pass and and a rapid swing in the opposite direction will only compound our previous error.You "hope" Republicans take over congress come November.
I actually agree with you on a lot stuff here.We do need the republican party to play a constructive role in legislating and policy making, so that there is some semblance of balance and oversight. But that's exactly why it's so frustrating to see them go from the grand ol party to a bunch of angry, hysterical cry-babies who complain about everything without proposing realistic alternatives. Even with everything that is wrong with the democrats (and that's a whole lot...) they are still by far the lesser of two evils. Who knows, maybe the republicans will return from the wilderness in the fall and grow up a bit in the process.....I wouldn't cross my fingers though.i hope they don't take over in november, but once again become a viable voice in government and are properly chastened by their time as such an extreme minority. the domination of government by one party or the other only leads to legislation that tends toward the extremes and does no one any good. with a more conservative element having some say in congress, this health care fiasco may have been pared down to a sensible undertaking instead of the abortion it became. the blatant payoffs and sweetheart deals made to force it through would have been unnecessary if its scope weren't so broad, if it didn't include such a massive growth of government and had a less one sided approach to the matter. no one party should ever have such an overwhelming majority in our legislation and we will be paying the price for letting it happen for decades to come. the public's overcompensating hatred for baby bush's failures led us to this sorry pass and and a rapid swing in the opposite direction will only compound our previous error.
we should probably get used to the fact that this bad legislation will be with us for quite some time to come and try to figure out a way to lessen its negative impact on the country. concentrating on the reasons that health care services are so expensive, instead of merely penalizing the insurance industry, may lead us out of this mess and into a more stable answer. our present course can only lead us to an increase in the cost of our health insurance and the eventual takeover of the industry by the incompetence and forced mediocrity of a governmental bureaucracy. a path that means the entire country may be forced into the clutches of yet another government mandated program that serves only to increase the size of the welfare state and steal even more of the people's power for self-determination.
Damn right. Thats the whole point she was trying to get across.The sad fact is: That parody honestly reflects the opnions of some people.
