I've said this for quite a while and I heard it on TV this weekend by a noted columnist that our country is at a point where it is ripe for a third party. I believe it finally might be.
Disagree. Ronald Reagan said it best when he said that we didn't need a third party, what we needed was a new, revitalized Republican Party. All Ross Perot got done was to get Slick Willie elected.
There is nothing wrong with being the "Party of NO", particularly at this point in time.
But if saying "No" doesn't in some way check the power of the Insurance and Pharmaceutical giants or for that matter, if saying "Yes" doesn't do the same I would have to wonder, what is it going to take? Ssomething different that what we have or what we have had imo.
TSR who had the Close Door Meeting with the Insurance companies, Pharmaceuticals giants, Unions and Lawyers to get their support for their Health Care Bill Plans? Hint it wasn't the so called Party of NO :wink: :roll:
I would think what it is going to take to check the power of some of the players is not having meetings with them and allowing them to write the bill that is to regulate them. It is kind of like letting the Fox guard the hen house. :wink: :roll:
Do you think Lawyers are going to support Tort Reform? NO and that is why Obama is not including any meaningful Tort Reform after their closed door meeting even though that is one of the things the Republicans want.
Do you think the Unions are going to support taxing Cadillac Insurance Policies? NO that is why Obama exempt them after their Closed Door Meeting!! :wink:
Do you think Insurance Companies are going to give up their State monopolies? No, so is this why Obama has not included Cross border Health Care insurance, something else the Republicans want?
What was promised the Pharmaceuticals after their Closed door meetings with Obama? :?
This was a guy that promised all negotiations would be on CSpan so why were these close door meeting not included? I'd said it was because Obama didn't want the public to see
HIM making the dirty deals to get support for his partisan bill.
BTW Who had the closed door meeting with Democrat Senators to bribe them to vote for the Health Care bill? Again it wasn't the so called party of NO.
The Republican Party might be thought of as the Party of "No" But the Dems are definitely the "What are you going to give me for my vote Party"!!!!
