THE CHARGE OF THE 280 DEMS by Dick Morris
Let’s first channel Alfred, Lord Tennyson from his poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade”:
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred (two-hundred eighty)
“Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns,” he said
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred. (two-hundred eighty)
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Someone had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred. (two-hundred eighty)
But still you charge. Still you vote for a bill the American public has repudiated, after extensive debate, by 18 points. Still you back legislation that seniors oppose by two to one. Still you use your majorities to pass the single most unpopular piece of legislation in recent history.
Civil rights, Social Security, women’s suffrage — all of Harry Reid’s metaphors — were popular and had broad approving majorities. This bill has the opposite: a nation paralyzed with fear for what you are about to do to its healthcare.
Will you listen to the elderly who absorb 40 percent of medical care and not to the AARP, which you have bought by way of a promise to eliminate Medicare Advantage?
Will you listen to the doctors of America, two to one in opposition, and not to the AMA, which you have bludgeoned into submission via your threats of reimbursement cuts?
Will you stop to examine how, as Democrats, you can vote to slice $500 billion from Medicare and cut home healthcare? Former comrades-in-arms, former party-mates, do not commit party-cide by passing this bill!
Is this to be your epitaph? That you put all healthcare under government control? That your legacy is to be the waiting list to see a doctor? That the memorial to your public service is to be the denial of care at a bureaucrat’s whim?
Many of you must know that you are sacrificing your careers. Can Blanche Lincoln, Byron Dorgan, Harry Reid and others really believe they will return?
Can any of you believe you will remain in the majority after you have so flouted the obvious will of your constituents?
Why does this pied piper have such power over you? His approval is sinking in every poll at a pace unprecedented for presidents. If he promises you judgeships, ambassadorships, Cabinet posts or other patronage to enliven your retirement, can you doubt that there is but a two-year term in the offing?
And think about what the deficit you are creating will do to your country. The nation you have already burdened with so much debt that you know and we all know that inflating the currency is the only way out! In your souls you must know that in five years and 10 years and 15vyears, it will be the skyrocketing cost of the system you now put in place that will animate future deficits. You must realize that the CBO estimates are a fiction created by 10 years of taxing divided by six years of spending.
What has gotten into you? Where are your senses? What happened to your instincts?
Are you all to line up and drink the Kool-Aid, march off the cliff in lockstep? Charge into the cannon?
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d:
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
Have you truly worked for this all your life: to sacrifice your political careers to pass the most unpopular piece of legislation I can ever remember passing Congress?

ObamaCare – Startling new revelations Scare Public – By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown
First, we learned that a $500 billion cut in Medicare will dramatically affect the quality and quantity of healthcare available to America’s senior citizens. Grandma’s access is being slashed to add illegal immigrants and twenty-somethings into the insurance system. However, this revelation pales in relation to what we heard this week.
Here’s the latest shock: Average current health care insurance premiums will likely triple under ObamaCare!
The new data comes from well regarded, state-by-state study conducted for WellPoint, Inc. The most dramatic premium boosts will hit young people. These are the actual individuals that often opt out of insurance plans now.
Reaction from the Obama White House was swift and harsh. Linda Douglass, Obama’s healthcare spokesperson , had the audacity to compare the health insurance firm with tobacco companies. Since the White House refuses to argue the facts, they instead turned to using one of their favorite tactics, which is demonizing any voices of dissent.
The reason for the dramatic insurance premium increases is the result of ObamaCare regulations. First cause is the mandate that insurance companies take any customer. Insurance traditionally is an actuarial business that rates different based on risk factors. This is the reason a driver aged 19 with two speeding tickets pays more for auto insurance than a customer aged 35 with no speeding tickets. Nineteen-year-olds have more accidents! Therefore they pose more risk.
Traditionally, health insurance companies charged customers with risk factors and chronic illness more than young, healthy 19-year-olds. ObamaCare stands the the concept of insurance on its head. Since an insurance company will be forced to sell to any sick patient, the incentive to buy insurance when you are healthy decreases. Why not wait until you are sick; get cancer, diabetes or some other severe illness before you buy? To circumvent this problem, Obama is riddling the program with police-state mandates on healthy, younger citizens. Perverted, negative incentives such as threats of large fines and even prison time will hang over young people’s heads to force them to join and stay enrolled in Obama’s healthcare scheme. Does this sound like America to you?
Democratic leaders in Congress are seeing support slip through their fingers because Americans are learning that they will end up paying more for less-adequate care.The beneficiaries of this plan are still lobbying hard. Big business will likely dump most of their current employee-based plans and pay the less expensive tax. Big unions are facing the reality that they are going to be bankrupted by their generous membership health plans. Many want to dump their responsibilities on the new government option recently revived by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. AARP is salivating at the money they will make selling new, bigger Medicare-gap plans after the current program is gutted!
These powerful lobbies are the driving force for change. Individual family finances will pay the higher costs and see no benefit!
There is still time to kill this wrong-headed plan and replace it with reforms that will truly work. Selling insurance across state lines will increase competition and lower prices. Tort reform that eliminates outrageous judgments in malpractice cases will get lawyers out of medicine; this will result in eliminating billions currently spent in the name of defensive medicine.
Insurance can work, but the costly mandates and regulations, already choking the healthcare system are a big barrier to cutting costs.
Free markets deliver to Americans consumer goods, groceries, veterinary services, and even plastic surgery at affordable prices with little government meddlling. Let the free market price and correct the distortions currently in the health care system.
Government has bankrupted Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Social Security, Medicare and the U. S. Postal Service. Let’s not let the politicians destroy the greatest healthcare delivery system in the world! Bar none!

I Have Decided To Become A Write-In Candidiate for President of the USA! Here’s My Platform!
My Platform Is Very Simple…
1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is now the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.
2) We will immediately go into a two-year isolationist posture to straighten out the country’s attitude. No imports, No exports. We will use the Wal-Mart’s Policy; If Wal-Mart doesn’t have it, then we don’t need it!
3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it!
4) All retired military personell will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on southbound persons only.
5) Social Security will immediately return to it’s original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, then you ain’t gettin nuttin out! The president, nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
6) Welfare – Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40-hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis test, and a passing grade.
7) Professional Athletes – Steroids. The FIRST time you check POSITIVE, you are banned for life! No exceptions!
Crime – We will adopt the Turkish Method: The first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There are no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
9) One export will be allowed…Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
10) All Foreign Aid using American Taxpayer Money will immediately cease. The saved money will pay off the national debt, before Obama that is, to ultimately lower taxes for the taxpayers. Obama’s debt is to be paid by all registered liberals and democrats, or am I repeating myself. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask the American people if they want to donate to a specific disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it’s a worthy cause. No exceptions!
11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in our US House of Representatives and the Senate. It may also be practiced at workplaces if they chose to.
12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, poolside, parties, etc. No exceptions.
13) No Nationalized Health Care. The government can’t run the government, much less a National Health Care Plan. We don’t want out Health Care Choices to be run by government bureaucrats. Just look at Canada and the UK for examples of what won’t work!
That’s it. This platform should make for a much better United States of America.
