Comments on: The healthcare reform debate; politics at its worst http://americaswatchtower.com/2009/12/21/the-healthcare-reform-debate-politics-at-its-worst/ I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations- James Madison Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:36:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Mr Pink Eyes http://americaswatchtower.com/2009/12/21/the-healthcare-reform-debate-politics-at-its-worst/#comment-31979 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:39:25 +0000 http://americaswatchtower.com/?p=11581#comment-31979 Very true Ron, watching the deals that the Democrats have to swing in order to pass their agenda cannot have a good effect on them. People will see exactly how low they sill stoop and it could end up backfiring on them.

I find them well thought out, researched, and interesting.

I do think that Republicans have learned a lesson and I do think that they will hold true from here on out. I also believe that Republicans are going to win back some seats, will it be enough to stop Obama, who knows? But we have to start somewhere.

This is good for the Republicans. Bringing home the bacon is fine so long as one does NOT have to give up convictions and go against the majority of voters in ones state. The Republicans have done us a favor by standing firm and exposing these deals—-most Americans are getting their first eyefull of political corrupt at its best.

That is why I gave him posting privileges on Political Realities and I have not regretted doing so.

He is not from our side of the political spectrum, but you can debate him in a civil manner. This is a good point for him to raise. I too had not thought of that, but it is an important aspect of the political game to examine. Thanks for posting this. It will likely come in handy when we are trying to interpret what the folks in DC are doing.

I really hope we can change the political landscape in 2010, before it is too late to do so. If we can gain enough seats in Congress to give us more influence and if the Republican Party will hold true to it’s standards and refuse to cave in, once they gain that influence, than maybe we can get something accomplished.
