Comments on: Republicans: See, we told you so http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/20257 The oldest political news site on the Internet Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:13:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sandra Price http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/20257/comment-page-1#comment-55599 Sandra Price Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-55599 I am always shocked at the reaction from the GOP when it extremely obvious they had no plans to win any election for their party. They sat back, whining and trying to prove President Obama was born in Kenya. Their blind faith in the Bush Administration gave them the false security that the GOP was a viable political movement and it would win on it's own merits. Not a single member of the GOP will stand up to the promises made by President Obama. His actions are exactly what he promised. The GOP sat out of the campaigns in 2006 and 2008 resting on their deep religious convictions that the opposition was socialistic. I defy anyone here not to visit the Social Conservative sites to see what they are threatening. There is an element of threatening terrorism from the right. The dialog is terrible and I fear it will bring on another crusade.

I'm 65 and sooner or later I will get screwed by government policy. Have a great insurance program now and eventually that will limited. As I have said many times on this issue my fear is not that the underinsured/non-insured will be raised to my level but I will be lowered to their level. Selfish? You bet! And so it begins.

Why should anyone get that for free when you had to bust your butt for it? It’s not selfish if you worked hard and paid for your insurance.

All those moonbats trying to shove emotional guilt on me for not wishing to support alternative lifestyles for multi-generational layabouts. Seems like the entitlements come to those who should be least entitled. Correct.
