House passes health care bill

Thank You President Obama! I now will enjoy free medical care, free Rx, I don't have to have pay for private coverage, and my level of care will go up. The good news is that my taxes will not be raised and the money to pay for this free care will materialize out of thin air. This is the greatest thing since Social Security!!!! The robust performance of that plan should put to rest any complaints about the plan that you, President Obama have given to us. A cynic would ask the question if you, your wife, your children, Nancy Pelosi, Oprah, Joe Biden or any of the cheerleaders of this plan actually be in the position to be subjected to it? Or will you, and they, continue to use the doctors that they choose, an option that you have now denied us. Things are going to get very interesting when every hip replacement surgery turns into a race quota issue. I didn't get the hip because I'm XX, damn XXX. ( fill in white, black, Asian, pacific islander, gay, straight, trans gender, ....for xx and XXX. )
Where is our anchor of hope and change? IF IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA, WHY WAS IT PASSED IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT ON A WEEKEND?

They did it in the dead of night because they knew it would stink in the light (and heat) of the day. God help us all.

barack hussein obama may soon own you, how's that for change?

Great news! Now on to the Senate. rnei98 God is helping us in this process.

John Barrow, our DEMOCRATIC Congressman in the 12th District, voted against the healthcare reform bill. The 12th has 95,000 uninsured citizens. Voters are 50% minority. The average per capita income is $15,000 which is less than half that of Georgia as a whole. Thanks Barrow for representing the healthcare lobbyists who have donated generously to your campaign but not your constituents who lack the means to make political contributions.

Barrow has also supported the Iraq War since he was first elected. He voted against President Obama's budget. About the only thing Democrat about Barrow is that he supports labor union positions as they donated money to his campaign. Other than that he's a Republican.

Lowell Greenbaum will continue to support Barrow and once again fail to provide Richmond County with a Democrat to vote for. This Dem will sit out the 2010 election. I encourage others who are disgusted with Barrows vote against healthcare reform to do so as well. If you aren't wealthy, John Barrow is not friend of yours.

noils. Go to opensecrets.com and look at who was paying for Barrows vote. What a guy, runs as a democrat and votes like a republican. I will do my level best in 2010, to see that he works for the insurance companys that he loves to vote for. Further, I am sending e-mail after e-mail to the Speaker of the house, encouraging her to remove these back stabbing scum from comittee assignments before they give the entire congress to the Republican party.

disssman - Some of the Blue Dog Democrats won in conservative districts and have to vote with the Republicans on occassion to survive. That's better than having a rightwinger like Paul Broun represent you in Congress. In Barrow's case the 12th District leans Democratic. He's a member of the Zell Miller wing of the Democratic Party because that's what he believes in.

I've been to Opensecrets. Check out how wealthy Barrow is. No wonder he votes with the Republicans on tax issues. Good idea on emailing Speaker Pelosi. I'll also send one to Rahm Emanuel encouraging him to not have a member of the administration campaign for Barrow. I've also contacted John pleading with him to change his party affiliation to Republican. If he doesn't I'll get the Green Party to find a candidate to run against him.

I checked the demographics of the 12th district today, noils, and your figures do not match what I read. Where did you get your information?
