The Declaration Of Independence

by: Hillbilly

Fri Jul 03, 2009 at 10:49:04 AM EDT

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Obama's Approach on Afganistan Shames Predecessors

by: RDemocrat

Thu Jul 02, 2009 at 23:04:49 PM EDT

I have been somewhat critical of Barack Obama on a few things lately. One of them has been the buildup of forces in Afganistan. I did this out of belief that our prescense there this late in the game constitutes continuing on the failures of Bush/Cheney and that our obligation in both middle-eastern countries have come to an end. I still pretty much feel like it is time for these peoples to choose their own fates.

Shoot The Ball Mr. President We Need A Win.

by: Hillbilly

Thu Jul 02, 2009 at 01:51:54 AM EDT

In 2008 we went to the polls in record numbers to vote for change, real change and we won. We elected you Mr. President and you promised real change in Health Care and real change for our gay brothers and sisters, but now it seems you are desperately seeking bipartisanship with Anti Gay and Anti Health Care reform folks like Senator John Ensign. Mr. President sir you may call this bipartisanship, but many of us see it as a lack of intestinal fortitude.
In 1993 the Chicago Bulls were playing the Cleveland Cavaliers and Michael Jordan hit a last second fade away from the right side of the foul line at the buzzer to win the game and sent the Chicago Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals for the fifth straight time. We all know what happened after that. But what if Michael Jordan didn't shoot the ball and held it hoping for bipartisanship and allowed the clock to run out?

Medicaid Could Fill Coverage Vacuum

by: RDemocrat

Wed Jul 01, 2009 at 21:36:03 PM EDT

There has been much arguing and gnashing of teeth in the Healthcare argument. Much was made of the CBO assessment that many uninsured would be left out in the final tally of options being considered. One option that makes much sense in insuring the working poor however, deserves careful consideration. The expansion of Medicaid could fill this coverage vacuum.

Daniel Mongiardo And Single Payer Health Care

by: Hillbilly

Tue Jun 30, 2009 at 21:38:14 PM EDT

When Daniel Mongiardo came to Radcliff, Kentucky I had the opportunity to ask him about Single Payer Health Care. His answer and the video is after the hump. The audio is not as good as I would like there was too much interference to use a wireless mic.
As I have said in a previous post our goal here is not to criticize the candidates, but to inform you so you can make a decision in the Kentucky Democratic U.S. Senatorial Primary based on facts.

Health Care Fraud and Abuse

by: Hillbilly

Tue Jun 30, 2009 at 23:14:37 PM EDT

From Senator Bernie Sanders Web Site
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a member of the Senate health committee, said that real health care reform must address the billions of dollars in fraud and abuse that comes from the major corporations in the health care industry.
"What we have seen for many years is the systemic fraud perpetrated by private insurance companies, private drug companies, and private for-profit hospitals ripping off the American people and the taxpayers of this country to the tune of many billions of dollars," Sanders (I-Vt.) said at a committee markup session.
Sanders cited example after example indicating that virtually all of the major hospital chains, private insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies have been involved in massive health care fraud over the past decade.

Kentuckians Rely Heavily on "Payday" Loans

by: RDemocrat

Tue Jun 30, 2009 at 22:30:57 PM EDT

As if we need to see any more proof of the complete and total failure Republican representation has been for the people of Kentucky in Washington, the numbers just keep rolling out. A study of 9 Kentucky counties, including my own of McCracken have been found to rely heavily on the high-interest "payday loans" to make ends meet.

Mon Jun 29, 2009 at 20:17:36 PM EDT

John Boehner: Look in the Mirror

by: RDemocrat

Mon Jun 29, 2009 at 20:05:15 PM EDT

The complete and total hypocrisy of the Republicans sometimes is too much to bear. I seem to remember one party totally in power for six years that gave birth to all the failed policies that crashed our economy. That was the Republican Party with Boehner as one of it's "leaders". Now he is worried about a lot of things that used to make him happy.
