Republicans Warned That GM Rescue Was ‘Road Toward Socialism,’ ‘Predictable’ Disaster'

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH): “Does anyone really believe that politicians and bureaucrats in Washington can successfully steer a multi-national corporation to economic viability?” [6/1/09]
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL): “It’s basically going to be a government-owned, government-run company. …It’s the road toward socialism.” [5/29/09]

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC): “Now the government has forced taxpayers to buy these failing companies without any plausible plan for profitability. Does anyone think the same government that plans to double the national debt in five years will turn GM around in the same time?” [6/2/09]
Rep. Tom Price (R-GA): “Unfortunately, this is just another sad chapter in President Obama’s eager campaign to interject his administration in the private sector’s business dealings.” [6/2/09]
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX): The auto company rescues “have been the leading edge of the Obama administration’s war on capitalism.” [7/22/09]
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ): When government gets involved in a company, “the disaster that follows is predictable.” [7/22/09]

No Repeal - More Health Care

Opinion polls are showing that Americans don't like the Health Care bill because it doesn't do enough - over those who against their own interest want it repealed. To date I have had to remove 21 conservative websites trying to use their scare demagoguery on this website. It is a shame what this rush of money is trying to do in talking good people out of what they know is best for them.

Spam health care ads

Amazing how many spam health care ads popes into this Google Adsense account in the first week of the account. We're all in for a debate but certainly don't want to let all the conservative and Republican slogans and lies slip in unsupported. Hats off to the marketing gurus who are talking uneducated people into supporting their cause of making the very wealthy even richer at the expense of the less well off.

Who would have the balls to call for a tax cut for the richest IN A TIME of WAR. How may family members of U. S. billionaires served in the military? So they (billionaires) don't serve, take the fruit our service men's lives and want a tax cut too? And to kill health care reforms for poor Americans?

Shame, shame, Tea Partiers, conservatives and Republicans.

Anyway, we had to block eight anti-health care ads, and one promoting a conservative U. S. based religion. I'll keep the fight on these pages and if we can get someone to put in a respectful rebuttal we'll have discussion.

You’re not going to get to push your message through this website without facts and justification.
