		<description>It has been revealed that the Mercinary army Blackwater, now known as Xe services, was George Bush&#039;s personal death squad for Muslims and was indeed a Neo &#039;Christian&#039; Crusade of Murder.

Republicans since Nixon, and many of Bush&#039;s people were in Nixon&#039;s cabinent, have funded death squads in South America much like Blackwater.

And now it is revealed that Eric Prince the owner of Blackwater, from a family of religious bigot supporters who fund such religious bigots such as Gary Bower and James Dobson, also committed murder to interfere with a federal investigation of his death cult.

Now republican bigots who seek to deny the sick today&#039;s modern health care, have brown shirt like thugs showing up at town hall meetings. It is no secret that these thugs are funded by republican groups who are funded by the health insurance corporate murderers.

Republicans are a disgrace to humanity and a scar on this nations conscience.

The South has risen again with it&#039;s religious bigotry. The same bigotry that supported slavery and fought for the slave owners. The same bigotry that fought for segregation. The same bigotry that fought to reduce democracy by inacting poll taxes and high ballot access laws. The same bigotry that goes to war with poor immigrants while fighting for tax free border free corporations. The same bigotry that has taken over the Republican Party and finally destroyed the Manufacturing base of the north. The same bigotry who lied us into a christian crusade in Iraq. The same bigotry who now fights for the corporate profits that insure the healthy and wealthy and denies the sick and poor. The same bigotry who denies environmental damage and promotes the economic strangle-hold of fossile fuels. The same bigotry who&#039;s intolerant culuture wars have made America the world&#039;s largest per capita prison population.

Republicans are a disgrace to humanity and a scar on this nations conscience.

60% of bankruptcies in America are due to medical bills.

Of those medical bankruptcies, 75% had health insurance.

One of the reasons for people lacking health insurance is due to pre-existing conditions, or loosing their job when they get sick.

So, the health insurance industry is insuring the healthy and wealthy while denying the poor and sick.

That is not humane or moral.

The Health insurance industry also gets between a patient and a doctor limiting choice.

I have heard many flat out lies and distortions presented by Republican groups.

You Republican Bigots lied us into 4 trillion spent on a War in Iraq, and now you lie to us about improving our health care insurance.

You Republican bigots gave 2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and due to your irresponsible deregulation of financial institutions they lost it in the stock market.

You Republican scum bag bigots go to war against the poor Mexicans while sending our jobs overseas with tax cuts.

It is disgusting how you Republicans support the status quo of bankrupting Families.

It is time to rebuild and invest in America, and humanity.</description>

		<description>well said Georgia Independent Voter.

All politics aside, healthcare is a national problem.  Everyone in America deals with healthcare issues everyday.  Going to the doctor and realizing that your prescription pills have doubled and healthcare only pays a certain percent of the medicine is a healthcare issue.

It seems that we turn a blind eye to the fact that health care is inefficient and that insurance companies are profit machines.  I think we need to take this challenge head on and make sure that we dont get divided by Republicans and Democrats.  Healthcare is not an issue for Obama, it is an issue for the people of America.</description>

		<description>I am an Independent voter. I am not tied to the Democrats, the Republicans, or Libertarians for that matter. I have voted for who I believe is the best candidate for which ever office.

At this time, I cannot intelligently support voting for 99.9% of Republican candidates for any office, local, state, or national. You see, I voted for Bush twice as well as Sonny and  some Congressmen. Now after seeing the mess they&#039;ve made nationally and in this wonderful state, I will take my vote elsewhere.

I did not like it when Democrats would not support President Bush because I believe in respecting the office if nothing else. But Republicans  who said they believed in the same thing, have turned out to be worse. And not only are they not supportive, or respectful when they disagree, they encourage &quot;tea bag&quot; parties where Neo Nazis hang out, and they want to break up the country!

Those aren&#039;t the kind of values I can support. And I do support a national health care plan. A choice to buy into a government-run, not for profit health insurance plan should be supported by all of those who claim to be fiscal conservatives. If we don&#039;t fix health care, the nation will go broke. If you support growth and job creation, then we need to lessen the cost burden per employee just like other countries do that we are competing against.

If you claim to be a &quot;values voter&quot;, then I do not see how you can turn your back on the millions who are uninsured..most of them working. If you are a &quot;values voter&quot;, then why would you not want something that is a top reason for the break up of families in medical bankruptcies?

You say you don&#039;t want a government bureaucrat making medical decisions for you? Then why in the world would you want some corporate bureaucrat doing it whose sole job is to find a way to deny you coverage?

We&#039;ve tried it the private sector way and it isn&#039;t working for most Americans. Even with the government taking care of the seniors, the disabled, the veterans, and the poor, the insurance companies have continued to not get the job done.

If Republicans and their voters were smart, they would realize that this reform is going to happen. They should get on board and make sure there are certain things included in the legislation . This carping at the President and continuing with the long expired &quot;socialized medicine&quot; slogan is not going to work.

National health care is coming folks, you would think people would stop underestimating Obama by now. He is going to get it done, if for no other reason than he&#039;s a politician, and a very good one at that. And the Democrats are all politicians too. Come 2010 they are going to want to campaign on a success, not a failure. It&#039;s common sense. And they have the votes to pass it despite the politics going on now.

Mark my words, &quot;Obamacare&quot; will pass and not only will it pass, most of the people on these blogs flapping their gums about it, will be on it and loving it even if they don&#039;t admit. If I was a Republican in Georgia, I would being trying to figure out how to stop Obama from taking Georgia in 2012, because once Obamacare passes, and people see that the Republicans were lying about something again, Obama will pick a few more votes and that all he needs to win the state.</description>

		<description>Mr. Deal is a joke.  He has done nothing for the people of Georgia and now he wants to be governor.  It gets him closer to home and on a different pay and benefit plan.  Does anyone see what government is doing?  We shouldn&#039;t pay for any of their benefits and retirement.  They work for us, yeah right.  They work for big companies.</description>

		<description>Yes every government worker hired or elected get healthcare benefits paid by the taxpayers but the GOP doesn&#039;t want us to have what they have.  Is this right??? Hell no.  Bill White is stupid to think Palin is a good leader.  She is a bimbo who is a quiter and a liar.  she is having a great life off the backs of tax payers as all of DC.  It is time for all Americans to have healthcare.  Stop paying for the illegals care.  It is time for term limits for all elected officials at all levels of government.  It is time for all government people, teachers, etc. to pay for their own benefits.  They bring in no money they just live off the taxpayers $$$$ and no one is watching the hen house.</description>

		<description>Nothing a Ga GOP-er says is important.  GA voted for  McNasty and the dinosaur-riding Bible-thumper Palin (the one with the slut daughter, the &quot;soldier&quot; son who vandalized school buses and fled to Michigan, and the redneck secessioinst pot-head husband).  Obama crushed McPhony; the Dems hold both houses of Congress, so states that backed the wrong hoss have to just suck it.</description>
