Martin Heinrich is just as bad. I got a tri-fold postcard where he uses Congressional funds to disguise and continue his run in 2010. The postcard entitled: “Working To Fulfill Our Nation’s Commitment to Veterans.” Inside is “Friends, As your United States Representative, I make a sloemn commitment to care for our nation’s brave men and women when THEY RETURN HOME from their service to our country.” WHAT? HE NEVER SUPPORTED THEIR MISSION AND SPITS ON THEM TOO AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY! HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN PLATFORM, AND HIS CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS, WAS ABOUT SPITTING ON OUR SOLDIERS!!! HIS COUNCIL PAST RESOLUTIONS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CITY BUSINESS!

On Heinrich’s mailer, there is a postcard with loaded questions like: 1. How do you think Congress can best repay our veterans? Increasing troop pay-Funding for veterans trying to start their own businesses—Strengthening our VA hospitals—All of the above—other. Sounds great but HOW ABOUT SUPPORTING THEM WHILE THEY ARE DODGING BULLETS AND IED’S AND GIVING THE MORAL SUPPORT INSTEAD OF SPITTING ON THEM SO WHEN THEY COME HOME, THEY FEEL 100% SUPPORT WHICH WOULD THEN AID THEM “WHEN THEY RETURN HOME FROM THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY?”

UDALL AND HEINRICH are the first to blame our soldiers for actions on the battlefield. Our soldiers have both arms tied behind their back and have to account and legitimize every bullet they fire!

OUR SOLDIERS, AND BASES, ARE ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS FROM THEIR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WHO HAPPENS TO A TRAITOR SO FOLLOWING ORDERS FROM HIM IS REALLY HARD TO DO!

AT LEAST WITH “THE CHIMP,” WE DIDN’T HAVE SUSPICIONS ON WHOSE SIDE HE WAS ON!!!!!!!

All of the viciously aggressive anti-healthcare spewers are also extremely pro war: We are in debt because banks wrote loans to poor quality clients knowing they could repackage the loans without taking a direct hit themselves: NO OVERSIGHT, and we are in debt because we are paying not only to service the war debt from previous wars but we are wasting TRILLIONS of dollars on Iraq.

Udall is a voice of sanity. The GOP does nothing for average amerians.

The small businesses that can’t afford high-power attorneys to find loopholes to exploit will go out of business.

Big businesses like monopolies, especially government created monopolies. Why compete honestly when you can use government force to destroy the competition?

The big insurance companies want this, make no mistake. By fighting it, they are actually improving the chances of it passing…it’s win-win for big insurance.

Obama himself said he was a “heavy drug user” in his book and what must be looked into is that a “heavy drug user” usually has to sell drugs in order to support their habit! Was that what Obama was doing standing on street corners during his community organizing? Then while at Columbia, he had a roommate who suddenly disappeared before the election so he could be interviewed about how Obama paid for their apartment along with such high tuition. This mysterious person has still not come forward. Payments for silence?

Udall can’t hide either. I personally know a person who told me that Udall was into cocaine and had seen him snort some lines at a private party. I asked him during a radio talk show if he would take a drug test and the host, Jim Villanuci, laughed it off and said, “You’re not a coke-head are you Tom?” They both laughed and he went on to the next call.

So what? Cocaine comes from Colombia and there are druglords controlling many countries and their politicians. We see the violence and deaths associated with the drug trade in nearby Juarez where bodies have been decapitated and hung from bridges.

The hunger to control the trafficing of drugs for our consumption, and Tom’s, is one of the most important issues concerning the world!

Tom’s not alone! All federal employee’s are subject to random tests. All people in and out of government that have security clearences are subject to drug tests. Why not Congress who are also federal employees!!!!

Does the Health Care bill allow for free drug tests? Maybe someone can find it somewhere in the 1900 pages!

By Gum, he’s got it!

“The disconnect between what Obama says and what he’s doing is so glaring that most people could not abide it. … reconciling blatantly contradictory objectives requires them to engage in willful self-deception, public dishonesty, or both. The campaign to pass Obama’s health-care plan has assumed a false … cloak of moral superiority. The pretense of moral superiority dissolves before all the expedient deceptions used to sell the health-care agenda.”

Well, ok, it’s a roundabout way of saying that O is an inveterate liar. But we knew that, didn’t we? He’s got the media cheering every word he says. So it doesn’t make any difference in the media…only in reality.

Here’s a cancer doctor writing in the Contra Costa Times. (8/29/09, but not posted on the web, for some odd reason). Dr Michael Sherman, M.D., Ph.D., writes:

“Medicare Cuts will Dismantle Cancer Care.

President Barack Obama has announced a plan to cut hundreds of billions from Medicare … Community oncology clinics, which treat more than 80 percent of Americans battling cancer, are already struggling to care for Medicare patients. Given that the administration is now discussing an addition $313 billion in cuts to Medicare, in addition to cuts already proposed, cancer care in this country is truly in jeopardy. …

Medicare has (already) cut reimbursements for cancer treatments to such a low level that it is negatively affecting the quality of care provided to seniors. The Medicare cuts have now reached a point where cancer-care practices cannot stay in business and cancer patients cannot afford necessary treatments. (they) are often reimbursed at less than the … cost of the expensive drugs used in chemotherapy.”

Yo ho ho, Virginia! It’s Santa Claus and his merry elves! Just have Hope, and Change will come!

Here’s Camille Paglia, the Last Feminist Who Actually Likes Men, writing in Salon:

“As for the actual content of the House healthcare bill, horrors! Where to begin? … this rigid, intrusive and grotesquely expensive bill is a nightmare. Holy Hygeia, why can’t my fellow Democrats see that the creation of another huge, inefficient federal bureaucracy would slow and disrupt the delivery of basic healthcare and subject us all to a labyrinthine mass of incompetent, unaccountable petty dictators? Massively expanding the number of healthcare consumers without making due provision for the production of more healthcare providers means that we’re hurtling toward a staggering logjam of de facto rationing. Steel yourself for the deafening screams from the careerist professional class of limousine liberals when they get stranded for hours in the jammed, jostling anterooms of doctors’ offices. They’ll probably try to hire Caribbean nannies as ringers to do the waiting for them.”

Right you are, Professor Paglia. But you voted for this flaming fraud in the election last year. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. If you’re getting the shakes now, our boots are beginning to wear thin from the inside out.

And here’s the WaPo’s Lori Montgomery:

“Report: Bill would reduce senior care Medicare cuts approved by House may affect access to providers …

A plan to slash more than $500 billion from future Medicare spending — one of the biggest sources of funding for President Obama’s proposed overhaul of the nation’s health-care system — would sharply reduce benefits for some senior citizens and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others, according to a government evaluation released Saturday.”

Ya think, Lori? But what happened to Santa?

Here’s the hyperventilating liberal Atlanta Journal and Constitution, with the headline:

“American public: Health insurance isn’t government’s responsibility.”

Kyle Wingfield writes that now only 47% of a Gallup sample says the government should provide your health care, and 53% say “no.” The yes answers are getting fewer and fewer. Wingfield notes:

“This is a remarkable poll result, given the length of time during which this question has been asked.”

What’s remarkable? That people are finally getting the scam? But the Atlanta J. & C. has been peddling the Big Lie for years and years and years. So have all the Big Media. A lot of people fell for it. Now they are finally figuring it out. It’s not going to work, because in real life, they’ve finally figured out that it can’t work.

There’s no free medical care. It’s a real shame, but it’s called reality. If you believed in free medical care for your whole life, then you’ve been suckered good. Welcome to the real world.

So — I’m confused.

Was it
Ho, Ho, Ho,
It’s Me, Santa Claus?
Or was it
Yo, Ho, Ho,
It’s Me, The Pirate of the Caribbean?
Maybe Obama is Johnny Depp dressed up as Santa…?

1. Health care is a right.

Barack Obama, in an interview in 2001, lamented:

“… generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

If Barack Obama were writing the Constitution, it would enumerate “positive liberties,” things the “federal government must do on your behalf.” Foremost among these liberties would be the right to health care. Merriam-Webster defines a right as something to which one has a just claim: the power or privilege to which one is justly entitled. For example, the Declaration of Independence tells us we are “justly entitled” to life. But how can health care be a right? Health care is something that must be provided to you by someone else. A miracle drug does you no good unless a company develops and makes it, a doctor prescribes it, a pharmacist dispenses it, and a nurse administers it.

A couple of years ago, a neighbor of mine had a hip replacement. When she returned home, she asked me to come by and change her dressing, check her incision — general nursing assistance, which I was happy to provide. Now if health care were a right, my neighbor would be “justly entitled” to my nursing. There would be no need for her to ask me to help, with the possibility that I might refuse. A government bureaucrat could have pulled up his roster of health care workers in the neighborhood and, seeing RN after my name, ordered me to my neighbor’s house. After all, she has a right to health care. It’s much more cost-effective to send my neighbor home and assign me to care for her. (Could the government expect me to work for free? Anyone who has glanced at the Medicare reimbursement rates lately knows that “free” isn’t too far off.)

If Democrats thought any deeper than gum-wrapper platitudes, they would grasp that if health care is a “right,” then health care workers can be compelled to provide that right. As Mark Levin explained on his radio show, if health care is a right, then doctors, nurses, and all health care workers have to be enslaved to make sure we produce.

2. No one should ever go bankrupt because of medical bills.

Here’s another gum-wrapper argument guaranteed to get American heads nodding in agreement, especially when garnished with a heartbreaking tale. When he unveiled his health care reform bill in September, Senator Max Baucus said:

“Every year, about one and a half million families lose their homes to foreclosure because of unaffordable medical costs. No one should go bankrupt because they get sick. This bill would fix that.”

So, Senator, just when is it acceptable to go bankrupt? Overspending on credit cards? Buying three times the house you could reasonably afford? Or maybe opening a small business for which there was no demand? If a gum-wrapper philosopher were actually forced to defend his position, he might counter that medical bankruptcy is unfair, because no one chooses to get sick. But isn’t that precisely why we have bankruptcy laws in the first place?

Several years ago, my daughter required surgery while at college. Since she was “out of network” per our health insurance, our co-pay was thousands more than if she’d been treated at home. Because I had actually read our policy, I knew the bills weren’t unfair. My daughter had received services from a surgeon and a hospital. Simply because the services were medical in nature does not make the payment due unfair. And it certainly doesn’t make it the responsibility of my friends and neighbors. Max Baucus believes that no one should go bankrupt because of medical costs. So he wrote a bill where America will go bankrupt.

3. No one should be denied health insurance because of a preexisting condition.

This truism requires a bit more effort to debate because the average gum-wrapper believer most likely does not understand why insurance companies don’t cover “preexisting conditions.” This platitude, however, can be debunked by a simple comparison with auto and homeowner’s insurance. If I hit a deer and total my car (a preexisting condition), no one believes that I should be able to call Geico® and sign up for collision insurance from the accident site. If I don’t bother to sign up for homeowner’s insurance, I can’t expect to purchase a policy while my house is on fire.

Believe it or not, the health insurance industry already takes on plenty of high-risk clients. When I took a job with family insurance benefits, the policy covered my husband and children, including any medical problems they may have had at the time. When an employee marries, his insurance usually covers his wife immediately, no matter what her health is.

It is heartbreaking when someone has no insurance and becomes sick. At that point, however, “insurance” isn’t what the patient requires. He needs medical care, and he’d like it to be paid for. The Democrats’ solution is to have every insured American pony up extra money to pay his bills. So why bother to pay for insurance if you’re healthy? If Congress passes a “feel-good” law stating that no insurance company can ever consider a customer’s preexisting condition, all we’ll do is guarantee that a lot more people will choose to go uninsured until they get sick.

It’s much easier to spout gum-wrapper truisms than to debunk them. I’m well aware that the majority of America, including the mainstream media, lacks the knowledge to counter gum-wrapper philosophy. But there is a way to fight back.

The only weapon that works against a gum-wrapper platitude is truth, stated with gum-wrapper simplicity. Nobody has a right to the labor of others.

Carol Peracchio is a registered nurse.

Stewart Udall was born in St. Johns, Arizona – which is not far from Albuquerque – and lived and worked in AZ until he was appointed Secretary of the Interior.

His son, Congressman Tom Udall, was born in Tucson, Arizona – okay, the neighboromg state. But he attended the University of New Mexico School of Law, graduating in 1977.

How can you seriously call him a “carpet bagger?” When RFK (and Hillary) moved to NYC to immediately become senators, yes, they were carpet baggers.

News bulletin: Newt Gingrinch, former congressman from Georgia, was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Now that’s a carpet bagger.

As a life long moderate Democrat but occasionally voting for a Republican, I cannot waste my vote on Heinrich again! I know two Democrats now who are planning to challenge him and any Democrat will win since we surely don’t want a Republican takeover. Anybody but Heinrich!

JEB BUSH was governor of Florida and I’m sure I’ll be getting the conspiracy nuts on me for mentioning that he stole the election for little George. Then they stole Al Gore’s too. But Jeb is in hiding for some reason.

LYNN CHENEY was and is still in high level positions. She makes an occasional appearance on the news programs. She is extremely bright and can articulate, from experience, her views. Growing up with her dad surely helped with many other issues.

If McCain would have picked Lynn instead of Sarah, the Republicans would now be in power.

“Another Bush? Another Cheney?”

Palin is so dumb! McCain was about as exciting as my little toe!

BUSH-CHENEY 2012!

This is and has been for many years a Welfare State. The inclusion of illegal immigrants and a plethora of state “give away” programs have dulled the senses of just about everyone until there’s only a glimmer of hope. That glimmer is the Mayor of Albuquerque at this point.

They blame Bush, but in actuality, Bush adhered more to lefty policies than he did to the principles of conservatism!!

You Obama-zombies are fools…vote, vote, vote your lives into more misery and oblivion. VOTE FOR CHANGE!

Keep telling yourself “It will work this time” even though history has proven you wrong time and time again…

“It is the basic metaphysical fact of man’s nature – the connection between his survival and his use of reason – that capitalism recognizes and protects.”

Rand quotes, of course.

And Udall, what a case he is. Having the audacity to run as a moderate and is only 1 of 2 senators who are members of the statist progressive caucus. (don’t forget Little Ben Ray is one of those too)

I only hope that some day in the future New Mexicans will become the great rare breed that I grew up with who loved the freedon of being an individual and took responsibility for themselves, not wishing to be cared for by some lefty liberal idiot who cares not for our state but only wants that fat benefit program the elite on the beltway get.
