Thanks in large part to your activities – and according to Rasmussen:
- 49% “have a favorable opinion of those opposing the health care reforms at town hall meetings” (41% last month).
- 59% “say the town hall protesters are citizens reflecting the concerns of their neighbors (49% last month).
- 56% “say that it’s more important for Congressmen to hear the view of their constituents rather than explain the proposed health care legislation.”
And, best of all? While Democrats disagree on all three of those – Republicans and independents don’t.
So. Speaking for the Republican party: much obliged. Can we count on your invaluable assistance, if and when the Democrats in Congress find the courage to again address cap-and-trade?

McCain hints that he may support Obamacare
suzieQ (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 2:08PM EST (link)http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/03/mccain-addresses-palin-health-care-on-late-show/#comments
“On the issue of health care, McCain indicated he may be willing to support President Obama’s reform efforts, depending on what the president says in his joint address to Congress next week.”
“I look forward to what he specific proposals are,” said McCain. “I think the disappointment a lot of Americans display is that we are not working together more.”
Why does this not surprise me?
Romney: Spending cuts slow economic growth
Mitt Romney expanded access to abortion and gave Planned Parenthood new rights under state law
Mitt Romney’s environmental appointees now in the Obama White House
Mitt Romney will not repeal Obamacare
Gun Owners Of America on Mitt Romney’s Anti-gun Record
Well, it depends, suzieQ.
Moe Lane (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 2:33PM EST (link)If Obama comes out for tort reform, cross-state insurance availability, provides tax breaks for people to buy their own insurance, and formally abandons any attempt to get to single-payer via a ‘public option’ I may be willing to support the President’s proposal, too.
I don’t expect that he will, of course.

My (combined) wish list.
I'm For Healthcare Reform, Too, Senator McCain
Spartan4Life (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 2:16PM EST (link)I think our insurance that we never use costs way too much. What are you going to do about that?
We need new leadership.
Fax the non-leader "Maverick" and tell him to shut up
ColdWarrior (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 2:44PM EST (link)I asked him face to face a few months ago who the leaders of the “loyal opposition party” were. He didn’t himself as one. He refused that mantle.
If he doesn’t want to take responsibility to be a leader of the “loyal opposition” party, he should just shut the hell up.
My recommendation: fax him a letter telling him just that.
Here’s his office info and fax number in D.C.:
241 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Main: (202) 224-2235
Fax: (202) 228-2862
Make no mistake — based on what he said at his town hall meetings, McLame aims to “reach across the aisle to his friends on the other side” and compromise.
And, if it fits, add that you’re a conservative who just became a precinct committeeman in the Party.
Thank you.

illinoisconservative (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 2:50PM EST (link)I love how the lefties call us “racists” when we even dare ask if illegal immigrants will be covered under Obamacare. And then they vehemently deny any coverage for undocumented aliens.
But they should know that we know their next agenda item after cap and tax is going to be immigration reform.. and that’s when Obamacare will see its ranks swell by 20 million!

It’s real. It’s happening now. It’s affecting all of us.
Why are we not protesting this? Or are we willing to accept this, so long as it comes from insurance companies, but not from Washington??
This is getting SO tiring, troll / moby
Jack_Savage (Diary) Friday, September 4th at 12:25PM EST (link)If you think it’s bad now, just wait.
Wait a second – is this from California? The answer to the problems of the United States? The closest thing to socialism? Things aren’t going well there maybe? Maybe the rationing is due to regulation?

That pretty much sums it up, along with your points.
hilarious... from there will be no rationing, to complaining but it already happens... lol
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Friday, September 4th at 12:58PM EST (link)What ObaMorons….
1. You have the ability to APPEAL decisions with your Insurance co.
2. You can GO ELSEWHERE to another co.
3. You can ultimately SUE your Ins. co. if it really comes down to it (which you will NOT be able to do with Fed. “Health” Panels
4. YOU CAN GO SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY! which, again, you WILL NOT be able to do if all Medical Centers/Agents are REQUIRED to participate in the Federal plan and waiting lists start to begin because of it…. You will NOT be allowed to get a procedure, at any price even with your own money, if you are not APPROVED FOR IT by the Govt. — because, after all, it would be UNFAIR if you get to pay for an MRI if someone else is waiting for one (gotta use the Pretzel-logic of Liberals)
and on, and on, and on….. Liberals always have to ignore the history of the humanity/planet to hold their positions. All your various warped positions and/or out-right LIES have been covered exhuastively all over RedState including in my own Diaries: HealthCare
Part One- Townhall HC distortions/propaganda
Part Two – More HC Townhall Hi-jinks
Part Three – HC Townhall: Like Hollywood, Democrats used new Actors to replay the same Script.
Part Four – HC Townhalls: Steny Hoyer (D-MD) edition.
It is so obvious these folks are PUBLIC SCHOOL flunkies and (not to say everyone that went to Public School IS a flunky, plenty of folks get wise to what goes on their and are SELF STARTERS and work outside the system to EDUCATE THEMSELVES above the worthless education they would otherwise get! but…) these folks never learned Critical Thinking and the basic concept of Research… These fools think a Thesis is automatically relevant/proven just because they FELL IT.

How do you think rationing will work
ohiohistorian (Diary) Saturday, September 5th at 8:20PM EST (link)How will rationing work with people who are overweight, smokers, diabetic, etc? I understand that this may range from denying care to “charging them more” for their health care?
If either of those true, what will happen to those who take part in indiscriminate sex, particularly homosexual sex? If they have HIV or AIDS, will they be denied coverage or charged more?
I know this is a “no-win” question, but to allow them to just kick the can down the road on this issue is not in the country’s best interest, and certainly does not benefit the diabetic, overweight, smokers, or gays.
