"Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit" Democratic voters "and it will encourage the extremists." --President Obama, quoted by Representative Earl Blumenauer, Democrat from Oregon.
No one wants to bring down health care, Mr. President. There are lots of GOP proposals--and you asked for GOP proposals--which would far less expensively solve the health care crisis, but every such idea has been shot down by the congressional majority.
No one is anti-government, Mr. President. But many want Washington, DC restored to the limits that our Constitution placed on it: to protect our right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, to defend our borders, and not much else.
If writing this makes me an "extremist" according to my president, so be it.
