We Dont Know What Will Happen

Well BO and the liberals have their piece of legislation. But besides items like preventing insurance companies from refusing ppl with prexisting conditions, raising taxes, 32 million ppl having access to healthcare the didn't before, and maybe a few other features most folks don't have a clue what is going to happen with this new healthcare bill. Its over 2400 pages long. That's a lot of room to tuck in all sorts of special items, rules, special favors, etc.

Between now and November, this piece of legislation will be examined with a fine tooth comb. When the public, who already by majority oppose this new law, get more details and more time to learn what is in the law, BOs and the Dems favorability will decline even more.

We do know this: simple principles of economics tell us that we can't be $14 trillion in debt and then add almost $2 trillion more and maintain viability. I believe the economy will remain stagnate, unemployment will remain at this level or grow, and the deficit will sink to new record lows. The prospects of a historic turnover in November are possible. As a conservative that is the silver lining I see, along with the propects of BO being a one-term president.

During the election I remember ppl justifying voting for BO because of their disdain for Bush. Others voted for BO because of McCain or Palin. Others voted for Ron Paul b/c he was more conservative, others had other reasons for their vote against the GOP. Some even said it took a Jimmy Carter to get a Ronald Reagan. I tried to encourage ppl to look at the issues, look at the state of affairs, to look at BOs history, his associations, his track record, etc to no avail. I warned that the 2-4 years of total control of the government and 4 years of a BO presidency could do plenty of damage to our country that even if a Reaganesqe president emerged, it wouldn't be worth it.

Elections have consequences. Too many American voters don't think beyond the rhetoric, the persona in front of the camera and the cult of personality. I'm afraid America as we have known it will never be the same. That's tragic, because it didn't have to happen.
