Well much to my surprise, Congress passed the Health Care Bill, twice. First with the Senate Democrat behind closed door deals and the second time, hopefully, with less of the backroom deals.
Now President Obama is out selling the legislation - something he should have been doing right from the start. Maybe if he and the Democrats had been clear and precise during the town hall meetings about the context of the bill there would be a lot less tension.
Of course the Republicans want to repeal/reform the bill. Why they did not work on the reform while the bill was in committee is beyond me. Well maybe not. After all, elections are on the horizon and its better to be a stronger opponent of the other party, rather than seen as a compromiser working for the good of the people.
Today Sarah Palin and the Tea Party descend on Searchlight Nevada to harass the home community of Senator Harry Reid. These people did nothing wrong and should not be punished by an invasion.
Now we can sit back and watch as the campaign rhetoric increases and the TV pundits tell us who is right and wrong.
We will also see how the immediate action parts of the Health Care Bill take effect and if they are everything that is promised.
As I have said in the past - they are all wrong. We need term limits and we definitely need to get rid of the incumbents and start at square one.
Pay careful attention to what is doing on and get ready to vote in November.
Its Common Sense!!
