Democrats need to offer up answers

  • Follow Letters

Rather than read about the downfalls of the previous administration in Washington, I would like the local chairman of the Richmond County Democratic Party to explain his beliefs on the following:

- Where do the Democrats really stand with Israel, with our defense against an irreconcilable wing of Islam determined to destroy America and all of Western civilization?

- Can he assure us that the reform of health care and Social Security isn't going to burden future generations?

- Can the Democrats assure us that the true history of our country is going to be taught to replace the politically correct version that seems to be in current textbooks in our schools?

- Can our local chairman ensure us that future elections will be honest and fair across our nation?

These are the things that most people are concerned about, and thus far the new administration is not truly answering these concerns.

They won't answer ANY questions that reveal their hypocrisy. This has been proven over and over.

and why does health care reform not include tort reform?? make loser pay that would cut out a lot of nusiance lawsuits. and why does all reform exclude our public officials. and why all the secrecy and closed door meetings. and what about actually reading bills they pass. and the pay czar why not one for our polticians after all we are broke and going deeper in debt what make them exempt????????? the list could goe on and on

The Dems also say that want a public option to increase competition, but they are against selling health insurance across state lines which will incrase competition. Dems say they want something, but only if it is their version.

As a nation, we must speak out against the current congress. Vote for change we can live with in 2010.

I'm certainly not the chairmen of the local democratic party, but I can promise ms. kershner that nobody can answer her questions to her satisfaction. The questions are loaded with far too many assumptions for anyone to know what the woman is talking about.

Patricia Thomas - WhitlessPost. Change that doesn't matter. You do-nothings have fun in your repetitive cess-pool today. While the working man sets out to bear the burden, y'all sit back and fester.

EVERY independent analysis of the health care reform bills before Congress conclude that costs will be higher than costs of healthcare with no reform. If the costs will be higher, then the answer to Ms. Kershner's second question is, "No." The increased costs directly associated with health care reform will be paid by today's taxpayers and tomorrow's taxpayers and the taxpayers of future generations.

I wonder if anyone asked question #2 during the SS debate back when?

WhippingPost

Locosucko, thinking isn't a bad thing. Try it sometime.

Little Lamb: Exactly! The only beneficiaries of alleged "healthcare reform" are the legacies of the DEM politicians.

Oh God, Justus is on his slavery rant today.

The only thing Lowell can write about is how great democrats are...he doesn't know why he just knows they are. When he can't write he can get his rose colored glass wearing wife to write.

Justus - I would like to know if you have ever been a slave other than to your job? Has anyone ever owned you? Has anyone in your immediate family ever been a slave? When was slavery abolished? Your great-great-great grandparents may have been slaves but who sold them into slavery in the first place? Slavery has been a part of man-kind since the beginning of time. Africans today still sell other Africans into slavery.As do others in other parts of the world. However, I will answer one of the questions for you. Yes, you are still a slave. You have never gotten over the slave mentality. You will always be what you are. A little man who is stuck on stupid. I hate to tell you this but it is 2009 not 1809.

I think this is a good letter but it hasn't gone far enough. I would like to ask ALL of our congressmen this questions. I think it is pretty fair to say that almost all those in Washington, D.C. are career criminals -er politicians. That means both parties. There has been plenty of time to fix what is broken; it hasn't happened. It is time to set limits, get rid of what is there, and demand that our representatives start doing what their constituents want, not what our representatives think we need.

I'm struck by the last question in the letter since the Republicans did such a fine job with an "honest" election in 2000...

It's ahrd to offer up what one does not have.

Here's a chunk of truth- if you look at the 1900 and 1910 censes, almost all adult blacks were married. There were very few single parent households, and education and morals were stressed. Family life was very important, and the vast majority of black men worked and were not incarcerated.

Grouse, Bush didn't steal any elections, that is just as ridiculous an assertion as Obama not being a US citizen. Congratulations, you are the Democrat equivalent of a birther!

Ms. Kershner: You asked - Where do the Democrats really stand with Israel? Sorry I can't speak for Democrats but here's one opinion. I don't think it's in this nation's interest to pledged fealty to Israel. And being in bed with Israel is the reason Muslin zealots attack us. America's interest would be better served by getting impartial in that endless Israeli and Palestinian conflict. Let them have fun and solve it themselves. Stay out, stay away and shut up! So the Democratic silence is refreshing and very different from the last failures on the scene.

MrAlwaysRight

Democratic and silence are mutually exclusive terms.

AWyld1

Being in bed with Israel is the only thing that keeps them from wiping out Islam all together. It's to bad people that follow Islam blindly don't see that it's only the USA that keeps them alive in the Middle East. Turn Israel loose and they will nuke the rest of those muslims into a radioactive dust cloud.

MrAlwaysRight

Here's some on the record remarks of Obama's Israel view... before he was nominated that is...http://www.nysun.com/national/obama-claims-unwavering-support-for-israel/53164/... not exactly "Democratic silence". Apparently, this is yet another group of people induced to vote for him, yet promises were not honored. If you're keeping score, that's the pro-FOCA, the LGBT, the wealthy who pay 90% of the taxes and employ 80% of America, the far left of the DEM, and now the Jewish. Pretty narrows his core support to a few select groups.

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: "Barocky Road. "Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you who didn't have the money to buy ice cream. You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream. Are you stimulated?

AWyld1 - I doubt Israel is going to wipe out the Palestinians anymore than the Nazis wiped out the Jews. And threatening a radioactive dust cloud sounds like Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton's jabber. They may like to kill each other but they're rational people and both sides can be forced to a compromise.

AWyld1

Without us as a buffer they would. They flex their muscle at times to show what they can do. Unencumbered by us they would destroy anyone that posed a threat. If you don't believe that then you are very clueless.
