Nothing changes but the parties

Common sense should tell you that nothing every changes, except the parties. During the Bush administration all of the Democrats where against all most everything Bush wanted. During the last campaign the Obama's people needed something to help with the wars, so they started the Afghanistan was the war to win because the 9/11 attacks came from there and it was proper that the US should be there. Iraq was just Bush's war and we needed to get out. A lot of the same things they used against Nixon. Now here we are the anti-war left and hard left leaning Democrats want out of Afghanistan. We just have to go back to the late 60's and early 70's and we have the same thing from the same people, using the same tactics but the only thing that changes is the party in the White House. Iraq is doing better and Afghanistan is in real trouble, they turned the American people against the war in Viet Nam and the same people are going to turn the American people against Afghanistan, because they know how. President Obama can't please the anti-war left and still hope for a Afghanistan free of the Taliban. He can't keep the American military on track and caring with out the political support(money). This is why we are in this mess. Democrats or Republicans, they still thing about wining the political goal and never thing of how to govern. If we would have elected a Republican, it would have been Viet Nam all over again. Wait until President Obama is in the place to start to take money away from the Defense Department, just like all others in his party, have done for years. Republicans give money to DOD, Democrats take money from the DOD. You know what is really odd, for all the support the politicians say they have for the troops, the Democrats won't give the troops raises and the Republicans do but not enough, isn't that odd or is it just plain unacceptable? Wars, you know, by any other name, people DIE, should never come down to a political decision. We have people putting their lives on the line for their country and the President of the United States may make a decision based on what his political party wants. People are DYING and their lives could be based on a political, I can't think of anything that would express my total distaste. I am VIET NAM VETERAN and I know about how impossible it is to win any WAR. When politics and politicians get involved in areas where lose of live is the outcome,they just don't take that in to account. Boots on the ground are last, saving political face is always first.

Racism and Politics

Common sense should tell you that when it comes to politics race plays very little part, if any at all. If race played a big part in politic, that would mean that everyone that disagreed with any person other then white would be a racist. So that would mean that all politicians are racist. You can't through a dead cat and hit a politicians in either the city, county, state or federal government, that some non-white politician, is not agree with. President Obama policies are what some do not agree, it would not matter if he was of a different color, he is very left for most republicans and some democrats. If Carter and Mondale are correct then the democrats that don't like the health care plans must be racist to, or can they pick and choose. I think that they want to pick and choose. I think that they think it helps with the health care debate, it doesn't, but I think they believe it will swing some votes, it won't, but not a very nice try. Of course they could be trying to help the 49% disapproval before 2012. What every the reason, which there can be no reasoning involved, no one should try to play the race card every time the sun shines. Everybody knows that the U.S. has a President that happens to be black. How his term or terms turn out good, bad or indifference remains to be seen. I doubt, when history looks at his record, as President, race will play any part. President Obama will take his place in history as the first President that was black but will need to depend on his judgment and leadership as to what kind of President he was, just like all others. I am glad that Ex-President Carter and Ex-Presidential Candidate Mondale have something to voice their strong but wrong opinions about but look at their careers. As I have said before there is no racism in politics because they are all the same, POLITICIANS, a breed apart. Some will be called racist and some will not but that depends on who and how they would like the vote to go.

Afghanistan

Common sense should tell you that a person with no military background in tactics or strategy should take the word of generals that do have a military background. I heard today that our President was looking at sending more troops, that what the general on the ground wants, or a better strategy. Let us look at what as happened in the past. President Johnson and Viet Nam, that went will, right? President Johnson did not want the nomination of his own party because of his taking an active role in military strategy and tactics. President Johnson was in the military but was not in a position to have known about military strategy or tactics for that matter. President Carter and Iran, we all should know haw that turned out. Although, President Cater, like President Johnson, did have a military background in the Navy, was not in a position to have known tactics or strategy. Now we have a President that does not have a military background but doesn't seem to like the military much going to see if there may be a better military strategy. That is hard to believe, don't you think so? I hope it turns out better then the others but I don't have much hope.
Thanks

Change the Opinion of the U.S. World Wide

Common sense should tell you now, that President Obama is very naive on foreign policy. He has allowed Mr. Holder to go after the CIA and now he has taken away the missile defense system from Poland and The Czech Republic in hopes Russia will help with Iran. We will no longer have the intelligence, on time intelligence, about Iran but we now have two nations upset with us as France was with President Kennedy. France kick the U.S. out because of the deal to take missiles out of France in exchange for Russia not to put missiles in Cuba. Poland and The Czech Republic depended on the United States for help with the defense and now the two countries know what Israel has found out, President Obama, will not help. President Obama would rather hope that Russia will help with Iran, then to stand by our friends. I thought that maybe the U.S. would be o.k. but now cutting the guts out of the CIA and thumbing his nose at our friends in Europe, makes me believe that the U.S. may be in real trouble. The CIA can no longer gather intelligence, without being investigated, and now two more of our friends can't trust us. So let me see, so far, Israel, Poland and The Czech Republic, was our friends, but now Venezuela that wants to declare war on us. It would seem to me that we need friends because Russia is only interested in what is good for Russia and President Obama interested in not keeping friends, puts us in a very bad position. Watch out for President Obama not willing to put more troops in Afghanistan and trying to pull out of Iraq sooner then planed. It seems that the U.S. word is not that good. President Obama does seem to be changing opinions of the U.S., world wide, but that opinion is, don't trust the United States, they may not be there if needed.

Obamacare and the enviroment

Common sense should, now be telling you what, President Obama is really after. Mr. Van Jones has given it away. The word is POWER. The only thing that could come from universal heath care and the public option, is not health care for all but power for the government. That is the same thing as cap-n-trade and carbon tax. The public option may provide some sort of health care but it main objective is power over people. Cap-n-trade and the carbon tax will not stop or remove any carbon from the air, actually it will more than likely, add to the carbon. This administration doesn't know, or care, the out come of it's policies. Just implement the policy is the goal. The major green house gas is not carbon but water vapor. Humans don't have anything to do with the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. People need to use some common sense when it comes to politicians, because all they deal with is political things and that is power and how to get more. Politicians are always politicians not left, not right and not even center, just politicians and how to maintain power and how to get more. As I have said before, some voted for a black man but all we got was a politician that happens to be black. He has his agenda and only his agenda. So believe me or not our well being is not is secondary to he's agenda. Don't get me wrong, there have been other, left and right, but not necessarily so against what most people really want or need.

Global Warmer

Common sense should tell you, that it is not possible to get the average mean temperature of the globe, for one day, for one month or for one year, let alone, several years. I wish someone would write me back and tell me how they did that. That would go a long way in telling me and others how they come up with global warming. I mean, you would have to know what the average temperature of the globe was and what it is now to come up with a warming or cooling, for that matter. Now as far as CO2 causes warming, I am not sure that is correct. I thought that heat caused CO2 levels to rise, not CO2 caused the heat levels to rise. Anyway, where does the CO2 go in the winter time, on vacation? It is true that the winters have not been as sever as then I was a child, until the last couple. It looks like that we may have the winters I use to having growing up. I hope not, because they where cold, I mean very cold, and snowy. Having said all of that, let's say that there is global warming and it is man made. If the U.S.A. and some other countries try to to lower their carbon emissions but others don't, like Russia, India and China, that now are putting out more then the U.S.A., it won't work on a global scale. How is charging energy companies more to pollute, stop or lower the carbon emissions? It won't, the companies pass that on to the customer(mainly common people) and we end up paying more for the energy, how does that lower or stop the carbon emissions? It won't, it just means higher energy cost. How come, when we have had a cooler spring, in a while and it looks like we may have had a cooler summer, that don't count but if is was warmer that would have counted? A few more things, if we have global warming and it has been coming on slowly, then why is the polar bear in trouble? Isn't that what evolution is about? Wouldn't the polar bear have evolved? Last, but not least, why only the polar bear?
Thanks

Obamacare

Common sense should tell you that cap and trade, health care and carbon tax, are about power and control. Global warming and universal health care, are just excuses to get these programs in to law. If cap and trade and carbon tax becomes law, we can forget about, ever being oil independent. Once the government has control of energy, there will be no drilling for American oil. It will stay just like it is, but the government will have total control. If universal health care gets passed, the billions the government will take out of Medicare, will break it and guess what, it will become part of universal health care, along with Medicaid and V.A.. Once the government passes these thing into law, we can't get rid of they. The next president, may be able to change certain things but cannot get rid if them. So now the next Democrat president can just pick up where President Obama left off. That is why it was such a hurry, to hope that no one (the public) would catch on. The reason that universal heath care will need to be rationed, is because illegal aliens will be allowed to join the system. Yes I know that the bill says that they can't but there will be no verification of citizenship. That is right, just say you are and that will be o.k. with the government. There will be no means testing either, someone that makes more then you can and will be excepted with open arms. The government wants everyone depended on them.
Thanks

Public Option

Common sense should tell you that the Democrats use the 46 million uninsured does count the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. It is true that there is a part in the bill, I believe is HB3200, that says that illegal aliens would not get this PUBLIC OPTION. The problem is, to the tax payers, that there is no verification, no one will ask, no one will check and everyone will be excepted on their word. That is correct, you can check on this. The next problem is, sense there is no verification of any kind all people will be able to get the public option, even if you make more money than is allowed, all you need to do is say you make a certain amount and there is no verification of any kind.
The next biggest misleading thing about the the PUBLIC OPTION, is that you have a choice. This is true, to a point. If you have health insurance through your work or union, and they decide to not offer it any more, there will be no cobras, just the PUBLIC OPTION and sense it will be cheaper for them, you will be forced into the government plan. Nothing can change with your insurance, nothing at all, more insurance, less coverage, anything at all and you will be forced into the PUBLIC OPTION.
You will be able to keep the same doctor. This true up to a point. That point is if your doctor decides to take less money. If your doctor does not want to go with the PUBLIC OPTION you will need to choose from a list of government doctors. These doctors my be further away then your doctor. The worst thing is what if you don't like the doctor? To bad that is the choice you get.
PUBLIC OPTION
Illegal aliens will get on the plan
You can be forced to take their plan
You can loose your doctor
