This is the crap we get out of the Decatur Daily Worker on a regular basis. And no one ever signs the 'editorial.' What a bunch of douchebags. I picked one up doing rounds at the hospital. I wouldn't wipe my ass with this garbage.
And the real kicker is that Parker Griffith is a complete shitbird. Beyond scoring an 'R' on the House floor, I don't think conservatives in N. Alabama want a damn thing to do with him. He was a golden boy to the 'D''s when he filled Bud Cramer's post, now he's satan himself. This smarmy editorial is completely full of it. Party of 'no'? Yeah, the Dims are the party of 'No'body wants the shit sandwich they are serving to America. 
Rep. Griffith joins the party of ‘no’ We like our representatives in Congress to have their fingers on the pulse of their constituents. Maybe U.S. Rep. Parker Griffith has been watching too much Fox News Channel. It didn’t take long for Griffith, R-Huntsville, to pick up the GOP talking points. “We’re watching (Democrats) pass a health care bill that basically two-thirds of Americans are saying, ‘Don’t pass it; leave it alone,’ and they’re completely ignoring the American people at their own risk,” Griffith said Tuesday at a press conference announcing his jump to the Republican Party. In fact, Fox News — the channel where news producers were caught on camera cheerleading at a Washington, D.C., “tea party” rally opposing health care reform — is about the only place where one hears that kind of rhetoric recited as fact and sees hourly loops of House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin saying that many Americans oppose health care reform. Yet, a majority of Americans voted for Barack Obama for president — in large part because he promised to reform health care. Just because a minority of Americans took to the streets, hijacked town hall meetings and received disproportionate media attention during Congress’ August recess does not mean the national mood has changed. By now, the GOP talking points are all too familiar: The bills comprise too many pages; nobody has read them; the program is too expensive; Medicare will suffer; government bureaucrats, not doctors and patients, will be making medical decisions; “death panels.” Griffith says health care reform will take America down “the wrong track.” Yet the Huntsville physician, of all people, does not tell us specifically what is wrong with the proposed legislation. No Republican has presented a serious alternative to the unacceptable status quo, where those who have insurance subsidize health care for the 30 million Americans who do not. Here is what we do know about the proposed legislation: It would end the insurance company practice of denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. It would slow the rate of health care inflation. It would prohibit use of federal funds for abortions. Most important: It would extend health insurance coverage to at least 30 million Americans who now have none. According to the rhetoric, not a single Republican believes those changes are good for the American people. The truth is that Republicans cannot politically afford for President Barack Obama’s No. 1 domestic priority to succeed — even if that means trying to kill a measure that would benefit everyone. Rep. Griffith: Welcome to the party of “no.” |
| Your read on the attitude of the No. Alabama Repub party toward Griffith is correct from what i have seen. I have already made my feelings known in the other PG thread so I won't rehash them. I just wish the No.Ala. repub party would get their 'stuff' straight and put up a reasonably intelligent candidate for a change and not another moron like the Wayne Parker dude that keeps running for them. When he was running against Parker Griffith last year, he could not have come off more as an imbecile as he did trying to debate Griffith. |

SO the Daily Dump did it's home work again? They came up with ONE good point about this abomination of-a-tax-burden-PAY-A-TON-OF -TAXES-AND-GET- NOTHING BS that the Demon-crats calll a heath care plan.
What the hell are they sniffing over at the Daily? And they wonder why their paper is going down hill. If this thing gets past we will suffer like never before as a nation. There was an article released about the shortages of GP's in the US. Most people who even consider going into the medical profession are taking on specialties to avoid the coming public clinics that will abuse patient and professional alike. At this point I am at a loss. Letters and phone calls mean nothing to the elected officials anymore. They are deaf with their own power. And point taken. The media is so engrained in this nightmare that even the grass roots movements have no venue to be heard. Do we need to do a twitter revolution like Iran did over their elections? |
