I don’t know if it what you intended, but that elephant looks bloated AND irritated and possibly in need of a colon cleanser as he looks back with tail up and wonders where did those miserable little people came from.

I’d love to see a similarly disposed donkey toon!

Go JBJD!

Nixon’s proposals were also not unlike the one’s we also hear today from the Democrats, employer mandates, subsidies for low income individuals and families, and tax credits used to purchase insurance.  Nixon’s plan, which would have greatly extended the reach of the federal government into health care was opposed by the far right of the Republican Party as much as Obama’s lack of a public option is opposed today by the far left of the Democratic Party.

For Nixon’s plan and for Obama’s plan, the president’s own party was divided.  Accordingly, it becomes irrelevant that Nixon did not have a majority Republican controlled congress as enjoyed by Obama with a majority Democrat controlled Congress, or vice versa.

Interestingly, too, is that Ted Kennedy was instrumental in defeating the Nixon health care plan.  Although it called for tax subsidies and credits to enable the uninsured and poor to purchase health insurance, just as the Democrat’s then wanted and as the Democrat plan today does, the Nixon plan was to be administered through the states and not the federal government, which Teddy found abusive to the general public!

Consider this quote from a history of Nixon’s health care plan:
“He [Nixon] could rarely find unity among his own party.  Democrats began responding to Nixon’s partisan politics by showing a surprising degree of party unity.”  (Timothy J. Conlan, The Politics of Federal Block Grants, Political Science Quarterly, vol. 99, iss. 2, pp. 247-270, at 255).

Replace Nixon with Obama and switch the party identifications in the above quote and what is old is new again.

Sharpton had stated that if Clinton won the nomination by getting the super delegate vote then he would engineer protests.  That is another example of racism.  Meanwhile, Obama was caught spending 20 years in a racist church and he was not held accountable.  To this day he has never apologized for being a member in good standing of that hell hole.  On top of this the blacks in the Democrat party had the audacity to label Bill Clinton as a racist.

If you still want to claim blacks are not racist then put down whatever it is that you are smoking.

But let’s just keep playing this game that it only helped the “rich folks”. I sure it helped them as well, but I know for a fact it helped our family. More so than this supposedly 95% of all Americans getting a tax break shit that Obama did. My husband and I still haven’t figured out how the hell it helped us. Our paychecks didn’t change that we could tell.

I want my party back. Until then, count me in as a contributing member of the HELL NO party until we can get some kind of sanity back into this country. Do I like the job Obama is doing? HELL NO

Right now, I think the Dems are the Party of No.  As in “Reality?  No, no, no!”

I see they’ve rebooted the troll server.  That system crash after Massachusetts must have been a doozy!

Obama spoke about healthcare experts – unfortunately they are not in his administration. The large majority of physicians all agree that a major cost of healthcare increases are ambulance chasing lawyers who convince people to sue doctors and hospitals for everything. The implications affect malpractice insurance which affects costs, wich affects healthcare insurance. It also forces more procedures because of CYA which affects costs which affects your healthcare insruance. Apparently Democrats are too busy counting the trial attorney campaign contributions to figure out those equations.

The other major problem is the lack of competition. Democrats think that the government creates competition (which the majority of Americans don’t believe) and the GOP rightly believes that if you allow interstate competition then the market will force down prices. The democrats have no evidence to support their argument while the GOP has decades of evidence to support theirs.

And regarding across the board tax cuts, it affects everyone and does results in economic growth. The GOP has decades of evidence to support their claim and Democrats have none except urban myths.

I can’t think of a precedent for Speaker Pelosi’s and Jimmy Carter’s disgusting smears on dissenting voters.  The closest is Spiro Agnew’s attacks on anti-Viet Nam war protestors.  But Carter was worse — he’s a former President.  And calling protestors ‘racists’ is worse than calling them ‘drugged out hippies.’
