The Conservative Problems: Lies and Creditability

The health care reform taken up by congress is once again bringing out the true nature of conservatives and their phony ideology.  It follows the same pattern used to oppose President Clinton's deficit reduction and economic policy adopted by the democratic controlled congress in 1993.  All republicans in congress voted against the bill. 

 

The conservative republicans on the floor of Congress predicted Clinton's economic policy if passed, would result in economic disaster.  However, just the opposite happened and the people witnessed the greatest economic boom in over 50 years with balanced budgets, something republican administrations have no record of accomplishing in that same time span.  The conservative republicans also opposed Medicare over 30 years ago and predicted then doom and gloom.  They also at that time misrepresented what Medicare would do for the American people. 

 

Now the conservative republicans are lying about Obama's health care plan and the language in it and have come up with the same talking points to mislead the nation once again.  The conservative commentators have been just as vocal with their lies and misrepresentations.  If one pays attention to what goes on in government and the news media it is easy to understand the conservatives real problems. 

 

Republicans controlled the country the last 8 years and failed to offer any legislation that would address the issue of the rising cost of health care on a long term basis.  Now, they have failed to offer any alternatives for the American people.  It fits their position on the economy.  They have no record of creating a sound sustained economy and have no record on health care issues so they bash those who do have idea's.  The health care issue before the people may not have all the answers and may have to be amended in some form but lies and misinformation about legislation have no benefit for the people nor do they produce a workable bill.  Conservatives are a sad bunch when it comes to thinking positively.  They need to develop a new ideology because their present ideology is sick and in need of health care. 

 

President Obama will not get any help from republicans on health care so he and the democratic controlled congress  should pass a health care bill that does indeed reduce the cost long term.  Leadership and courage is what it will take to get the job done.
