I could go on but why bother? Liberals never have an intelligent defense for anything this administration has done. We just get vague and unsupported accusations of unfettered deregulation by Bush and Reagan causing the current economic downturn and lots Monday morning quarterbacking about the war on terrorism (man-made disasters).
After real people took to the streets, state capitals and public parks around the country to protest the destruction of our nation we hear baseless accusations of racism. After the videos circulate that prove the left is actively promoting violence against peaceful protesters with union thugs we get the complaints of intimidation. The left can organize boycotts of companies that are owned by or employ people opposed to their reckless actions but can't answer simple questions about their own positions. If your positions are defensible, defend them.

Spot on my friend.
I have been asking people on the Left for weeks now about these evil insurance companies. President Obama and the rest of the left want us to believe that these companies are denying all these people coverage. If these accusations are true then it is a clear case of fraud. Why not just prosecute them? Obama is the chief law enforcement officer. All he has to do is enforce the laws already in place. If you started busting some heads for insurance fraud everyone in this country would be happy.
Here's the link to the
FBI Insurance Fraud Unit (http://www.fbi.gov/publications/fraud/insurance_fraud.htm - broken link).
If they can announce to everyone an email address for "fishy" statement they can let people know of this website. It took me about 13 seconds to Google it. And I'm not even a well-educated Liberal. LOLs.
All President Obama has to do is bust these evildoers. Then we could have a logical discussion about a public insurance program for poorer members of our society. And no one has to worry about insurance companies denying coverage anymore and Obama can take credit for it. And rightfully so.
But nobody wants to do that. Why not? Probably because insurance companies don't deny coverage. When they do they have a legally valid reason.
Yet, no one on the left can answer why we just don't start busting these guys. The FBI is already authorized to do it.
This entire idea that insurance companies are screwing us is ridiculous. I'm sure there are a few cases here and there. But the State is the one that authorizes these companies to operate in the first place. And it is the State's responsibility to hold them responsible for illegal behavior. Apparently they are letting criminals operate what is portrayed as legimate businesses and won't do a damn thing about it.
But, we need "reform" to do something about the insurance companies? You gotta be a moron to think that.
It reminds me of President Bush and republicans wanting the DHS and Patriot Act and all that. There is no reason to think we needed all that extra money and buraecracy (sp) to stop terrorism within the United States. We could have done it with existing laws. Maybe we needed a few things but it seems they might have gotten somewhat greedy.
I get sick and tired of every time we have a problem in this country politicians come out say they can fix if only we pass this law. Or give them more power. They have enough already. Obama can fix healthcare and insurance companies by going after insurance companies (if they are as bad as he says) and expanding Medicaid or whatever welfare programs we already have. Both sides do it.
If I were an insurance exec I would say come and get us copper. Otherwise shut the hell up. And start suing the Feds for libel or defamation of character or something. But that's probably illegal.
I'm not Republican either.
I have to put that on every post now. If I say anything the least bit critical of a Democrat I'm an evil nazi rascist that worships George Bush. LOLS. Libs are retards.
