Republican Voters Are To Blame For Health Care Reform and Democrat ControlBy Phil Staudt

Or, I guess I could also say that Republican Voters are to thank for health care reform and Democrat control, depending on whether or not you like it. My opinions on the health care reform bill that was passed yesterday in The House of Representatives are being saved for when it gets signed into law, so I can see all the changes and then form an opinion.
I don't like the Republican Party or the Democrat Party, and I want to see everybody win no matter what political party they are in. I am appalled by people on both sides, who display disrespectful and childish and rude behavior, and talk and write and yell in a way that makes people think that they are not very loving and kind human beings. To people on both sides, who are convinced that they are correct and others are wrong, and want to be heard, what I would say to them, is that people do not care about how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Voting for the lesser of two evils, is still voting for evil. Until voters in America stop thinking that they need to pick a political party and be true to it come hell or high water, we are going to keep ending up with evil, more or less. All the money that is funneled to the Republican Party and the Democrat Party, guarantees us a not-so-desirable outcome.
The Democrats owe their majority rule to the Republicans for doing such a bad job when they were on top. Actually, the re-election of G.W. Bush in 2004 is what got the Democrats into power. That was the beginning of the end of the GOP, unless they can figure out a way, in the future, to win the hearts and minds of the American voters. Americans had a chance to see the Republicans show their true colors when they controlled everything, and there was record debt and record deals, favoring the super-rich and hurting average Americans, climaxed by Bush pushing through the $700 billion bail-out for his buddies who are dirty rotten bankers and AIG. Now Republicans are the minority party, and all they have to offer is trying to convince more than 40% of the country that the other side is horrible, but it ain't working. (They better come up with something better than that if they want to be in power again.) If the GOP had done what they say they are for, instead of doing what they say they are against, they would not be in this pickle.
The Republicans and conservatives are belly-aching about health care reform and the stimulus bill and all the debt has been racked up since Barack Obama became President. But the truth is, that the reason the Democrats are in control of the Senate and The House and the Whitehouse, and can hand-pick any new Supreme Court Justice they want, is all because of elected Republican officials who have abused their offices and have betrayed the American people, many times over during the 20 out of 28 years that the United States had a Bush as President or Vice President of the United States of America.
Independent voters are supposedly growing in numbers, so they say. I am not so sure that the bulk of these self-proclaimed independents are not just hard-core Republicans calling themselves "independent" in order to get the attention of people who have been turned off by the antics of the Republican Party and Bush. I would love to see a lot of truly honest independent voters in the upcoming elections, who are interested in voting based on ALL the issues, not just a few sticking points picked by a few politicians and the media.
