Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Senator John McCain has anger issues with the American people. In days past his foul temper has erupted with less than perfect timing. But now he would have you believe, that you don't believe, what you truly believe you believe.

Let me explain.

Senator McCain has been willing in days past to curse the wishes of the American people. It happened in January of this year. In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine when pressed on what he was willing to actually do to stop illegal aliens from coming into the country McCain responded.

"I think the fence is least effective. But I'll build the goddamned fence if they want it."

The much chagrinned senator was forced to recognize that his opinion isn't really what the American people care about. We want the border leak plugged - and at the time we were settling for 700 miles of fencing out of a 2000 mile border. In McCain's new bill of course he reneges on his fence building pledge by slashing to less than half - the amount of fencing that will be built.

Senator John Cornyn found this out the hard way:

Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. "Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line."

"[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," shouted McCain at Cornyn.

McCain later topped that proud moment by then going after fellow GOP candidate for President - Mitt Romney. Continued...

War heros and patriotism
When people hold up former military war types as heros not to be questioned such as Murtha and McCain I start thinking of another former American hero. That would be Benedict Arnold. He was a hero of the revolution but in the end he was a traitor. It is not only what one has done in the past it is what one is doing now.
