My take on health care reform

Hi

Why am I not surprised by the turn that the health care reform legislation has taken. I am referring to the recent events. Democratic senators have switched sides on the legislation, why Because they have been bribed. The president has promised financial aid to the states that these senators represent in exchange for a favorable vote. Real leadership. I repeat my lament, why can't we elect statesmen instead of cheap politicians? Heaven help us.

The so-called Blue Dog Democrats, Nelson, Bayh, and Landreau have gone against principles they have stated earlier. In effect they have prostituted themselves. It is very difficult to accept this. I would like to pose these questions, "Doesn't your vote in effect become an earmark? The end result is the same. Where's the change?" I know I will not get an answer, but I think that the American people are asking the same questions and will remember at election time. I know I will.

It seems that the leadership is hell bent on giving us some legislation despite the fact that polls show the people don't want what is being proposed. To me this is a complete lack of leadership on the part of the Congress and the President. We desere better.

I'll keep writing on these subjects,so please stay tuned.

Please continue to pray for our brave warriors, they show leadership and character,and deserve our support.
GOD Bless
