I am utterly and completely disgusted with politicians. If you haven’t been living under a rock lately, then you know about the passionate discourses that have been happening at town hall meetings around the nation on Obamacare. Well, according to Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, the people that have been asking questions at the town hall meetings have been acting in an “un-American” way.
However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue,” the two leaders write. “These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.
This is straight from an op-ed essay the two wrote, published by USA Today. I’m sorry, but I think they’re living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world. Shoving a healthcare reform bill, that no one has completely read and is socialistic at best down the throats of The People, is un-American.
This discourse is the epitome of what our country is about — everyday people being passionate about what is happening in Washington and what will affect them directly. Never in my lifetime has this happened. I’m glad to see people standing up for what they believe in and not taking what their “representatives” say at face value. The politicians need to be knocked off their high horse and brought back down to reality. They’ve been living in their own dream world for far too long.
Personally, I would like to see GOOOH(Get Out Of Our House) succeed in getting every single politician out of Washington and replaced with average people that will have the Nation’s best interests at heart, people who won’t be on their own “benefits package” or trying to secure their own personal Gulfstreams to fly around in.
It’s about time for a real change — not a “Change to Socialism” that Obama has been promising to do.
