Congressional Democrats

An old sheep herder in Wyoming observed the behavior of wild animals in the winter. He said, "Packs of wolves would sweep into the valley and attack the bands of wild horses. The horses would form a circle with their heads at the center of the circle and kick out at the wolves, driving them away. But when the wolves attacked a band of wild donkeys, these animals also formed a circle, but they formed it with their heads out toward the wolves. When they began to kick, they ended up kicking one another.

The Democrats in Congress are like the wild donkeys in the story above. In spite of the fact that their constituents are overwhelmingly against the heath care bill that recently passed the house, they go ahead and vote contrary to that wish. Let's not be fooled that this is about health care. This is about power, control and the re-distribution of wealth.

The Democrats have demonized the insurance companies as if they are the cause of all our problems. An industry that has maybe a 3 or 4% profit margin. When you go into the hospital, who does the hospital, specialists, and doctors send their bills to? Your insurance company gets the bill if you have it, if not, it's sent to you. Who determines what they charge and place on that bill? Forget that the insurance company and the hospital may have negotiated prices that is satisfactory to both sides. You have to ask, who sets the prices? Not the health insurance companies. It's the providers of the service. What are their profit margins? They're a lot higher than those of the insurance companies. So I ask, where's the cost control?

This bill is only demonizing an industry because it's a tactic that the Democrats always use when they want to use other people's money to pay for something. Create a crisis, parade the victims, demonize and separate. Aren't you sick of it yet?

When will the blame be placed on the people? Most people want to pay $1.00 of insurance premiums and received $500.00 worth of healthcare services. When families budget, guess where health insurance/medical costs are on the list. Pretty much last on the list after luxuries like big screen tvs, $150.00 tennis shoes, cell phones and their monthly charges, ipods, jewelry, and for some, maybe paying a bit on their charge cards. Of course they don't want to pay for health care, that doesn't satisfy their lust of the pleasures of life.

What are some of the rarest things in our American society?

  1. Liberal veterans of the armed forces.
  2. Liberals who participate in charitable giving with their own money
  3. Liberals who are born again, bible believing Christians
