Town hall charade

Insurance companies make money denying medical care. The uninsured may pay quadruple for the same service as does the insurance carrier for the same claim. Of all the western industrial democracies, the United States lags at the bottom for health care, as much else that is good, but number one for income disparity and military spending. The United States is not a caring country, but a vicious country.

Some people are carping on the possible cost and taxes, they did not carp about the greater cost of the iraqui war. These naysayers on health care are showing an inconsistency.

These (mostly) angry, middle-aged, white people, some with misspelled signs overlap with those whom hate both, Barack Obama and the Democracy. They intersect with the birth fraud crowd, the gun nuts, the teabagging racists and the audience of the lunatic mouthfoamers. They have threatened violence. They have equated a legally and popularly elected president with nazism, Hitler, socialism, and communism. When the bushevik régime did enact fascist tactics, they decried critics as 'bushbashers'. And now they have been joined with Larouche supporters, whom are another sort of crazy, that I can not fathom. Some have been plants of the Republican party, and the moneyed interests. This is the angry ersatz crowd. They have not come to listen, learn, inquire nd debate, but to yell and rant.

The cretinous senator from South Carolina, Jim DeMint showed the rationale of motivation, "If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him". The proposed legislation is addressing a long standing problem. The minority party is hell-bent on sabotage and obstruction, and has not attempted anything in good will, nor for the commonweal. Grassley, of Iowa, is supposed to be part of a bi-partisan committee on the legislation, yet he is making absurd statements against it. He says Senator Edward Kennedy would not get care under the health care proposal, since he is aged with terminal cancer. Other than this being completely false, Kennedy is a rich man from a rich family--no such situation would ever apply. Perhaps, Grassley is exhibiting a nasty form of senility. And of course, Sarah Palin is agitating rubbish to the dolts of hatred.
