LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) - It's wheels up again for the Tea Party Express. The conservative movement hit the road Sunday on a nationwide tour with plans to hold rallies in 38 cities in 19 days.
"This is when we take all the passion, all the energy, all the rallies and try to turn it into constructive political action," said Mark Williams, Tea Party vice chairman. "In this case, putting Congress on warning."
The warning is not only going to Democrats. Tea Party leaders recently endorsed Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman over Republican Dede Scozzafava in a special election for New York's 23rd congressional seat.
"It doesn't matter what party you are a part of, if you are taxing and spending and not listening to your constituency, you are in trouble in 2010," Williams said.
There were dozens of other signs dotting the tour's inaugural rally comparing President Barack Obama to Karl Marx. Some made him up to look like the Joker from the last Batman movie, and warned of a socialist takeover of the country.
"People just sense that something's wrong," said Dominic Harkay, who stood at the San Diego, California, rally holding a banner that read "Oust the Marxist Usurper, His Czars and Thugs … Honduras Did!"
Across the park from the rally, several dozen anti-Tea Party protesters milled about and listened from a distance as police kept the two groups separated.
Chandler Windham came to protest the Tea Party and show his support for a health care public option.
"For me to look at another citizen and say you don't deserve health care, that's inhuman," Windham said. "When we are talking about these big issues, you see people's true colors, who they really are."
The Tea Party Express calls for less government spending, and opposes increased government involvement in health care, corporate bailouts and deficit spending.

great – the louder and more obnoxious these idiots are, the more repulsed normal Americans (especially normal Republicans) are. Tea Partiers, get out of the GOP and start your own Conservative Clown Party.
OK CNN, you aren't supposed to cover these guys remember?
Faux News will get their panties in a knot over this and won't be able to accuse you of not covering these idiots.
Faux News bankrolled the first TPE, my guess is they are doing it again with these kool-aid drinkers as well.
These idiots really do not deserve any press coverage. Just fodder for fools. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we could give them all IQ tests! When I see them on TV I change the channel.
When are people going to understand that the Public Option is in NO WAY socialism. These yokels obviously have no understanding of what socialism really is. If President Obama wanted to "socialize" medicine in its traditional sense, the government would have to take over all of the hospitals and put all medical staff on the government payroll.
"The term ['socialized medicine'] was popularized by a public relations firm working for the American Medical Association in 1947 to disparage President Truman's proposal for a national health care system. It was a label, at the dawn of the cold war, meant to suggest that anybody advocating universal access to health care must be a communist. And the phrase has retained its political power for six decades." – Wikipedia
As for these complaints about the "Czars," while I agree it's an unfortunate term, the "hero" of the neo-cons, our former president, had a lot more Czars than President Obama does.
So the Tea Party of Timothy McVeigh is back at it. What a bunch of clowns. Basically, all I can say is where were you nutjobs right after it was made public that there were no weapons of mass distruction in Iraq? You say you are for less government spending? The invasion of Iraq sure wasn't less, was it? You say you are against corporate bailouts? We didn't bail them out, because we gave companies like Haliburton non competitive contracts. Do you see much difference? You are against deficit spending? The Iraq
Who is paying for this whole thing? These folks have their own money to waste?
How about we send them to Afganistan?
Good tour stop!!
In other news, Milli Vanilli goes on comeback tour... draws bigger audiences than the tea baggers.

Do you see much difference? You are against deficit spending? This country did not have the money to pay for the Iraq war and guess where the money came from. Can you say budget deficit? Where were you people all this time?????
In the words I would never use, but you teabaggers would, so I make this exception... "if you don't like America, then leave it."
Oh joy.
The republicans are going to run across the nation, telling all the rest of us how wrong, unamerican, and evil we are.
Tea Parties Rock... Thanks to all for joining together as one common voice for America. Conservatives do not hold a monopoly on Patriotism, but we are the most motivated right now. Those who are caught up in the AWFUL policy decisions of this administration.. just don't get it. We have to save America now. People are looking around in dismay at this President's team of advisors and bizarre Czars.
It could happen, that soon we will be looking around in greater dismay at the train-wreck of a Health Care Bill, that they are going to try to ram down our throats. They are not concerned about getting re-elected,
they have enough stimulus money, put back to appease the voters with next year. They are saving our tax dollars for a rainy day.
The Tea Party movement, and Fox news are keeping us mosted.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO CARE SO MUCH>> come and join us!
Marxist Czar? Come on, people. Marxists started a revolution to GET RID of the czar! If you want to be taken seriously as a political movement, rather than just drunk and disorderly, you need to stop acting dumber than a box of hammers.
Here we go again. I wonder what made them endorese the same candidate Sarah palin has??? These people cannot even think for themselves. They are followers not leaders. Ignore them.
Please choke on that tea, thanks.
Sick of these bigots and goons..
Health Care is not a previlage; it is a necessity of all US citizens. Let's the uninsured have the coverage they need and keep the families together. No one should lose their life saving or houses because of a health crisis. We the People should take care of our own citizens. Peace!
I sure hope they don't come to our city, cause the people here, republicans AND democrats won't stand for that outlandish behavior.
We talk about them often. How where we these so called "take America back" when bush and cheney were shredding it. When the started a war with innocent people. When the played the guitar and ate cake while New Orleans drowned. All the bills they passed to take away our FREEDOMS. And now whine that this Obama is taking our freedoms.
These people are mostly the fringes of America. They get some reputible Americans gullible enough to go along and the dance and prance like they are really doing something. All they are doing is Fox News biddings.
Yeah something is wrong.
We have been going through the worst recession in our history that almost became a second full-fledged depression. So, the government took some emergency economic measures that were certainly not pretty but were kind of necessary to prevent a depression that would have profoundly affected all of us. But the Tea Party folks don't want to consider that possibility...just complaints. Where was all of this concern prior to this administration? This is a smokescreen for anger over losing the last election. But this is America. We all have a right to voice our opinions and ignore the opinions of others as it suits each of us. There is no socialist or marxist "agenda".
Why don't we give all the tea baggers a gun and send them to the mid east..It was their party that caused ALL of this nations problems..It is all about the Glen Becks of the world..Shame on all of you..If it were a white president ,we wouldn't even hear from you !! Get a life !!
Please make it easy to understand for those who support the spending! Government employees are exempt from new health care plan taxes lowering even further who will be paying for this. 60% of this country doesn't pay taxes as it is. Get the facts out there that insurance company profits range from 6 to 8%. They are not the reason for outrageous medical costs as the dems chapion.. Let's reform but go where needed. I work hard, have lost jobs and recovered but I will not be able to afford Obama's spending! I am 100% behind these Tea Parties.....maybe Obama should have stayed in DC when you were there instead of leaving town as he so often does.
Tea Baggers Untie!
Go get them Tea Goers.
Show them who's boss!
They can shout all they want. The stone cold facts are that 57% (and that is the lowest poll number) of the American people support a public option. The tea-party group is a loud minority, and enough of the people in the group are crazy or worse, that they drown out the legitimate arguments.
Congress and the senate have already seen the clown act. Another one will be boring and even more boring will be the news reports that show clips of the acts but don't balance them with reality by also reporting, each and every time they cover the clown shows, that at least 57% of the American people support a public option.
Hey tea-partiers–have you noticed how much better things have gotten since your last failed attempt. Keep trying–you'll ruin the country yet.
can't believe these people are still at it ..why are they going around the country telling people that health reform is bad..And while they are at, why don't they tell the people what type of insurance coverage they all have..Wonder if the answer would be goverement run Medicare !!! surprise, surprise, surprise !!
This tea party thing is getting very old
Los Angeles County has a population of 9,862,049 residents. The 10/25/09 Tea Party Express drew about 500 at their LA planned and sponsored rally.
They dressed funny like trick-or- treater’s and carried signs that were childish.
Hey..........all you "tea Party" folks.........are you on your way back to England???????????? Then us Indeginous of Turtle Island can have our land back,.....................This is truly great news ........
good bye.
The Republicans are on a dangerous path. Obama is the president of the United States and should be respected as such. There were no such things happening when the mental midget George Bush stole the election and become president. Obame is a bright young man that could be great if someone would put a fist in the mouth of Republicans who are telling lies and false information on a regular basis. We will be broken up and made into "banana republics" if we don't get a handle on efforts to organize a coupe.
Go TEA parties. Wait unitl 2010, starting April 15th, there will be so many and then when the full effect of the liberal healt care reform bill hits the liberals will be out of office for several decades. Thank God.
The Fox New Express off to another tour.
Oh Look! More Sore Losers!
I know what will cheer them up, maybe Ron Paul can run in 2012.....Oh wait, he won't.
Sit back and wait for the "tea-bagger" comments. Would that qualify as hate-speech under the new guidelines slipped into the Defense Authorization Bill last week?
As far as health care, if you can afford your cell-phone and NFL Sunday ticket (cable tv) you can get a decent policy. Visit eHealthInsurance.com and get a quote. Opening up the market across state lines for these companies would additionally lower the cost. Get a few facts (and real prices) under your belt before you say that we can't survive as a country unless the government takes over yet another industry.
Besides the prices you can see on that page (real quotes for real policies) many places (Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger,CVS, Walgreens, Publix, to name a couple) will provide generic presciption drugs for ten bucks for a ninety day supply. If my math is correct, that's about 11 cents per day. So, if you can skip your mocha latte one day per month, many drugs fall into that 'affordable' category.
Who you gonna trust, Harry Reid or real information?
Try the Crazy Express.
As a small business owner, we are getting killed on health insurance costs.
In 2001, for my company, a single health insurance plan + premium cost about $2,480 – 70% employer covered, 30% employee covered. In 2009, it now costs $4,620 – 50% employer covered, 50% employee covered.
And that's a single plan, the smallest coverage of any plan, and doesn't also factor in the copays of 30 dollars for doctors visits and prescriptions.
it's seriously damaging our ability to hire new workers, especially those with families. We need reform now.
It's nice to see there are still some true americans in this country who will fight for what is right. Of course something seems wrong in this country, because there is! We have a president who is socialist and is taking over every aspect of our country and wants the people to pay higher taxes to acheive his goal (Banks, Auto, Health Care, Taxes, Schools, Military = socialist takeover). No one is saying that people don't deserve healthcare, what is being said is that if you don't pay anything for health care then you don't deserve it. That is what Obama is trying to do, let people who don't pay anything get free health care (subsidies from other peoples taxes) from top doctors. While the rest of us have to pay that doctor for our own healthcare plus pay for the people who didn't pay anything. How is that fair? It also does not feel right that half a trillion dollars are going to be taken away from senior citizens. It is as if the entire african american population doesn't care about their grandparents, or the impact it will have on thier grandparents health care. It truly is sad, because the people who will be hurt the most by Obama's health care takeover are african american senior citizens.
Pelosi and Reid know that these Tea Parties are un-american, and should be outlawed just like talk radio, Fox News,secret ballots and bloggers like me.
Voice your dissatisfaction all you want, more power to you. But stop the name-calling and hate and fear. We don't want it, don't need it, and will go against your wishes if you insist on continuing to try to divide our nation.
Please take a moment to write or call your local representative to voice your objection to the pointless politicking and negative eye poking these ignorant puppets are pursuing. Let's work together to build a better America and to encourage constructive change in how citizens are served by their government. Repudiate the trivializing and manipulating of FOX and CNN to sell us this fantasy that the wealthy really have our interest at heart. Public , single payer health , robust schools and defanged bloated defense for a bright future. In other words, change.
They are excerizing their 1st ammendment rights..it must be very scarey for all those liberals out there....
If these idiots in DC and the states don't listen to the voice of their constituents...then the power of the vote will show them the error of their ways...
it is against the CONSTITUTION for the federal govmnt to get involved in public health care. Obama is either a LIAR or STUPID when he states this health care will not cover illegals....there is already court precedent on the CURRENT government "freebies" that allow then to get Medicare, Meidcaid and food stamps.
Barack Obama is failing big and fast: in foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people.
He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and actually seems to loathe them. He is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. He is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate, and his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.
While we’ve been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he’s dissed just about every one of us—financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job.
He’s a phony, knows nothing about economics, is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task. His profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant, and he is unable to appeal to our own common sense.
2012 can’t come fast enough!
Ho-Hum. Them again. They need to find a different hobby.
Self serving crack pots.
Hope They don't come around here,,,,, Those losing cry-babies,,, enough is enough!!!!!!!
With all these polls going on, someone should take a poll about these tea baggers, and see how many of them could afford the medical bills if one of them, or a family member go cancer or sufferred some medical illness and their insurance dropped them, or denied the coverage. Lets see how many of them would be out there?
Its pathetic to watch good Christian folk attempting to deny the most disadvantaged in their country access to good health care.
"People just sense that something's wrong." Doesn't that just sum this sham movement up? A sense of something wrong because idiot conservatives aren't running the country anymore–where were they for 8 years? Cheering those idiots on as they ran our country into the ground! Their "lower taxes, no government" obsession has failed us and it's time to get past the stupidity.
This teabagger movement isn't catching on, no matter how obnoxiously loud they are. Haven't they seen any polls lately?
So the phony "Tea Party" tour continues. It's unbelievable that we have people in this country that begrudge health care for everyone. But then anyone with a brain that they use knows what this tour is really about. The signs speak of the bigotry, racism and hated in the hearts of the Tea Partiers. Thank goodness they won't be coming to my area.
Go teabaggers you fools are ripping the Republican party to shreads! and your making the Democrats stronger tea bag all day hahahahahahahahahahah!!!
DON'T stop in my town unless it's GREEN TEA !! As a matter of fact, all of the TEA PARTIERS should drink GREEN TEA the entire trip in order to get out the ANTI – TOXINS that's clogging up their BRAINS because they are not thinking right!!!
Why is it there are NO people of color at these parties???? That ALONE should say what this is REALLY all about!!!
The Tea Party Express is doing a GREAT job of waking people up as to what Obama, his loony left Admin., and the radical, racist, anti-American, self-proclaimed 'czars" that make up his shadow government--are doing to our country.
"Chandler Windham came to protest the Tea Party and show his support for a health care public option.
'For me to look at another citizen and say you don't deserve health care, that's inhuman," Windham said. "When we are talking about these big issues, you see people's true colors, who they really are.'"
___________
No one is saying that citizens do not deserve health care. Please stop confusing health care INSURANCE with health care.
Go Yea Party Express!!! Wish I could be with you! To Chandler Windham, San Diego, you mentioned health care for the uninsured and think it is inhumane for one not to be all for health care. You are so wrong!! Look at the people that don't want insurance, they want a new car, house (they cannot afford), big screen TV, etc. plus they want it for nothing. Most of those probably never held a 40 hour/week job. They have been on a welfare system. Now that is what is broken. Fix the welfare system in this country. Those that have not worked for a living and only sponged off of the public assistance–those do not deserve insurance!! Why should the rest of us who have worked and saved and paid into the system be punished and be expected to pay for the have nots?? Sorry buddy, again you are so WRONG! Being from San Diego I imagine you live in oine of the upper bracket places in CA. Property in CA is out of sight for the norm. You want them to have health care, then you pay for their health care!
Wheels up? Yeah, they've been landing that way for some time.
Why do you call this people Tea Party?
The real name is the Most Ignorant Americans Bus Tour.
I think these folks are drinking something other than tea!
The Republicans are desperately trying to save their image with this astroturf movement again... Just go home you mongoloids. You're just being used by the GOP for political points. No one takes you seriously.
Legitimate, civil protests are ok, but when you have people spewing hate, anger, lies, unfounded statements, obviously following incentives of big corporations than they are disgraceful,
They are making fools of theirselves and are an embarressment
to our country.
Waiting for the TEA party to come to my town so I can show support. It's about taxes, spending and government takeover. We pay enough of our hard earned dollars in taxes and the government wastes our money. Those of you who don't get it, obviously don't pay enough in taxes to understand. 47% of Americans pay NO income tax, 53% are supporting everyone else.
Tea Party Express kicks off 38 parking lot tour.
Is Beck and the Fox cameras gonna be there? Phoney protests!! Wonder what kind of outrageous signs we will see this time, how many millions will show up?
The Teabaggers are hilarious.....and that's about it.
Do not forget to stop at every county and state line and pretend to pay a total....
Doesn't look very Astroturf to me.
If I were an elected Dem, one who supports single payer or public option. I'd be very worried. This is your grim reaper.
Also these people are not like any of the Liberals on this board. They don't want to pay for your healthcare and they don't want to destroy our system in order that Dems can give health insurance to minorties and the utterly ignorant in order for votes.
If the Dems were truly serious about reform, they would consider so many other good proposals out there. But it's not about reform, it's about a power grab. If you can't see this for what it truly is, then there's no hope for you, you're just stupid.
These Tea Partiers are ridiculous. The majority of Americans want a public option. The CBO says it will save money. Haven't they gotten these memos?
And where were they during the past eight years? Bush was the biggest liberal spender I've ever seen. These partiers don't believe in democracy, they believe in "my way or the highway." Period.
Please take a look at this group of people, you will see no Blacks, no Latin's, no Asians, just whites. There they go again, crazy, noisy and angry white right wing people. I bet we will see again very offending signs up. Please make up your won conclusions.
I hope these ideology driven, ignorant, uninformed dupes who are spun by a corporate lobby (Freedom Works) and what is fed to them by their misguided "Christian" pastors never get the chance to take the rest of us in this country with them on their delusional path.
With the likes of Sarah Palin and Fox News charting their course...
need I say more? It is truly sad what self centered, frightened individuals we are becoming when we let the voices of control by fear rule the day.
Again, where were these patriotic teagaggers during Bush's 8 yrs of tax n borrow n spend when our fake economy was roaring? 2 wars, billions in tax cuts and Medicare part D on the US credit card. They are hypocrits and have no credibility. Why do we keep giving these people media coverage when the DADT rallies which had tens of thousands in DC got little to no coverage? I guess belly aching sour grapes protests wins out over civil rights every time.
Party on, folks!
Just this morning, Paul Krugman, in the New York Times, in a bit of his usual socialist propaganda, said, "the teabaggers have come and gone."
As usual, Krugman was wrong.
Where do these tea party people gettheir information? I have seen a few of these parties around my home town, and i am amazed at the far fetched contrasts drawn between Pres Obama and our state of economic uncertainty. the Media has become more of a marketing business than a news agency reporting on the news. Fox news portrays events in a "Misleading way" to sway people in a certain direction. So when I see these protests all i can think of is what are your sources? Reliabel, unbiased, factual news is hard to find if not impossible at all.
Protesting does serve an important part of our political pary, but wouldn't you seem more credible if you sounded intelligent when you did it?
tea baggers, go home
do nothing like you did the last 8 years
at least you would be consistent
now you are dishonest and opportunist
mostly though cliche', taking something that is important to the U.S. like the tea party and ruining the story by your bad intentions
What a bunch of SORE LOSERS and I mean LOSERS!
Don't they have anything better to do ? Don't these people ever WORK like the rest of us ???
I would LOVE to have the free time that these "tea-partiers" seem to have. Unfortunetly I have this pesky thing called "a job" that monopolizes most of my time - you know, so I can pay my mortgage, afford my rapidly rising health insurance premiums, put food on my table, etc.
Oh yeah – I also have to work so that most of these participants can collect their Social Security checks & use medicare/medicade.
American fascism with a smile and three-cornered hat.
"For me to look at another citizen and say you don't deserve health care, that's inhuman," Windham said.
No one ever said you don't "deserve" health care, all we've ever said is that you don't have the right to make someone else pay for your health care.
Children have a moral and legal right to be supported by their parents; adults have no right of any kind to be supported by anyone. You're not a child Mr Windham–grow up, get a job, take responsibility for yourself, and quit whining.
Note to libs, your days are numbered.
More of our very own version of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I do not understand how these people support "corporate rape and rule" by their desire to simply allow big business to run our country.
The 'Honduras Did' banner says it all about those wackos!
If you are too fat to stand and are complaining about contributing to your government healthcare (Medicare), then you shouldn't qualify to be a teabagger.
Over half the ranks therefore don't qualify.
Go Phills.
I for one would jump right on this express if it were not run by the Fox News folks as a media stunt. I honestly don't think the real cause is being taken seriously here. Fox is using these "fringe lunatics" to make news stories.
Faux News Mission statement:
If you can't find the story you're looking for...create it!
I am so tired of these self-centered, selfish malcontents. These people have done nothing for anyone.
They live in the greatest country in the history of the world. They want the highest standard of living in the history of the world ... and they whine because someone expects them to pay for it.
Hey, Tea Party crowd. Get a job like the rest of us and do something POSITIVE for your country ... for a change.
Instead of looking for jobs (they they complain they don't have) they go around the country holding tea parties?? How special. Bunch of fools.
Argument of kipping us safe for 8 years by Bush and Cheney is hollow, instead of 4000 civilian killed on American soil, we paid price of loosing our best 4000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Alquida did not bother to take risk to attack on our soil because we were easy target on their soil.
Who is footing the bill for these busloads of crazies to go touring around the country???
This is good for democrats; please let the stupids break themselves into pieces.
"For me to look at another citizen and say you don't deserve health care, that's inhuman," Windham said. "When we are talking about these big issues, you see people's true colors, who they really are."
______________________________________________________
Windham really missed the bus on that comment. The point is, the Obama administration wants to spend $900 billion to implement a Federal government health insurance bureaucracy that raises the cost of health care. That is not what we need and not what we want. That doesn't help anyone except the overpriced hospital companies who now have someone else to pay their inefficient costs. Taxpayers.
38 city tour???? ...................... why are they protesting when for sure they will be out of a job for going on a 38 city tour .....
After all the negative comments posted on the "Tea Party", why is it O.K. for the Muslims, Gay and Lesbians, ACLU, NAACP, LULAC, and every other organization in the United States to have protest rights, but not the Tea Party?
Obviously the idealistic young people think taxing those with a job to pay for everyone's entitlement programs is a great idea. Maybe after 25 years of working hard and paying taxes they will understand our frustration with the government taxing the living day lights out of us, throwing our money away on pork projects and taking over our lives.
Angry white nutcases on parade. Reactive lemmings brought to you by Americas best lobbyists.
Laughable.
Just to clear this up since the Obama-bots like to regurigate the lies of their hate masters on this site.
Great Americans like to Tea Party with fellow patriots.
Liberals like to Tea Bag other liberals while listening to Obama's bs.
Can someone in the media investigate who is actually supporting these folks? I mean I don't know about anyone else but I have a job and I for the life of me, I don't know how these folks can just take off work and not be impacted financially at home?
Can someone actually interview one of these people and find out exactly who they are and how are they able to just leave work for a month to go rant and rave about issues that for the most part have to happen in order to help this country?
Retirement must be a very boring stage, Why this people have so much time on their hand that they would rather spend it believing
and digesting the crap they were being fed. Undermining the fact that what they are doing might endanger their children and grandchildren's future.
Can Barney? Barney Frank and Ron Paul are working together on the HR1207 bill, to audit the federal reserve. "Real" Tea parties would support that, but these wanna-be "conservatives" don't get it. They are just a pawn to the rethuglican party and are to dumb to think for themselves.
So it's a bunch of loonies traveling around the country. Why should I pay attention again?
By all means, endorse and get out the vote for the Conservative Party...and keep holding signs that call the President a Marxist...you idiots are diggin' your own graves.
Windham needs to realize that NO ONE IS SAYING, "you don't deserve health care". What is being said is "You don't deserve to stick your hands in my pocket to take the money I earned to pay YOUR bills." It's about personal responsibility, and it's about not allowing this woefully inefficient and corrupt government taking more control of taxpayer money and freedom.
CNN, please post these facts for all the misinformed.
Unless your a liberal moron that thinks our gov't can keep printing money without consequence, support the Tea Party!
What are they exactly protesting? If they want less in taxes, then what they need to say (elect people to do) is what they are willing to cut government doing and make sure that that rest of the population is willing to go along. I wonder if these people are willing to watch millions of people in the US suffer without the assistance they get from the government. I wonder if they like the interstate highway system - that is paid by taxes.
While I can appriciate the fact that these people get out and hit the streets, I find thier message a little misguided.
It's frustrating to know that, if the "tea partiers" were against Conservitive ideals, then the Riot Police would be out in full force.
If you ask me, this country could use a little socialism. We need to learn that people should come before dollars. Lets stop fighting for the insurance companies rights to rip off the public.
When it comes to health care we cannot afford to give complete control to the insurance companies... Wake up people, do you really think the insurance companies are going to have your best interest at hand. All they care about is the bottom line. I believe in this regard , the government would do a better job. Some people are out there hating on government because they say they've messed up medicare. If that is truly the case why are the elderly so afraid of losing medicare... please people I would rather pay for a health care option to a non profit organization than a company who cares only for the bottom line. also if you do not feel this way, you don't have to buy into it. you can keep your over inflated insurance policy. Just don't deny those of us who are sick of paying these huge premiums for a mediocre policy!
Hey all you Tea Partys' where was you for the last six years of Bush Chaney when the started two wars while spending huge amount of cash via tax breaks for the rich and tons and tons of intitlement programs) you know that huges waist of 3 mil for pharmisutials medicare rip-off and not to forget all those billions spent on pet projects with add-ons to all those budget bills sighned by the consevitive pick G.W. Bush seems you either missed the boat or just another Republican attack squad.
Where were all thies tea partiers when Bush signed LAFTA and signed on to allow free trade to China.Your credibility is that of the last Repulican administration,Becouse that is where most of this mess started and back then you said nought.So how about you stop the whinning and let us live in peace.Y'all make in embarrassing to be white in the country just like the Repulicans do right now.
