Again, I'm dumbfounded by the news media who think they know everything. They compare Obamacare to what Romney did in Massachusetts. The liberal press doesn't seem capable (or is it willing) to point out the major difference. Obamacare is Federal and Romney's Massachusetts law was at the State level. A major difference reflecting States Rights. Discussing States Rights is not being addressed and that's really where the issue resides. Do we want Federal law and bureaucracy involved in our medical system?
As for Romney now saying the mandate should now be considered a tax rather than a penalty, he didn't say it. The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decided the Federal Obamacare mandate was a tax rather than a penalty. Romney merely conceded and confirmed the SCOTUS legal decision over his own personal opinion. Romney is being accused of flip-flopping and attacked by the liberal press when instead he has merely agreed with the SCOTUS decision. Why Romney doesn't defend his position mystifies me, however I understand why the press makes noise rather than report news.
As an independent voter I am not a Romney supporter. My opinion expressed here has more to do with how sick and tired I am of the press, both liberal and conservative, babbling about a non-news topics. These people defile the concept of journalism. America has so many serious issues and real problems to address while these "journalists[sic]" distract the American people on politically motivated non-issues. These people don't report news, they espouse editorial comments. They do America and the American people a deep and serious disservice.
The American people, including me, need to recognize what nonsense and drivel these news outlets provide and turn them off.
These are my thoughts on family, America, the world and anything else that pops into my head. I am often moved to express my opinions on how the world reacts to or comments on what America does or doesn't do. I have many opinions and I am willing to share them all. Hopefully, my opinions don't come across as just complaining, but enlightening and entertaining. I am proud of how our military conducts themselves in protecting our country. Keep our troops, airmen and sailors safe.

Criminal Health Care Reform
Here is a message sent to Michael F. Bennet, United States Senator for Colorado this morning.
As registered independent voters in Colorado we are asking that not only do you vote Nay (against) the massive criminal Health Reform legislation, but that you also actively and openly encourage your fellow senators to vote likewise. Apparently, it has not dawned on the members of both houses that it is the will of the people rather than the money of the lobbyist who should dictate legislation.
Do we need Health Care reform? Of course we do! The health care and drug industries are taking outlandish advantage of the American people. Does America need to pass such reform as one massive bill in the dark of night under a trumped up deadline to get it passed before the American people realize what the criminals in congress are doing? Of course not!!! If the proposed Health Care is so advantages to the American people, should members of Congress be forced to use the care for themselves? Of course! Should we gut Medicare now for what appears to be a savings, only to add this false savings and additional money to save Medicare in a few short years? Only an idiot would believe this!
Please vote against this legislation. The American people will have no recourse but to remove from office any Senator or Representative who should vote in support of this legislation regardless of their political party. I pledge my support, both monetarily and through action, to any cause which will act to remove any member of congress who supports this legislation whether it passes or not. Obviously, these members have sold out to the lobbyists and do not represent the interests of the people. This is a shame for America and our fore fathers would revolt rather than allow this to happen. Listen to the people, not the people paying bribes.
We, the people, are not sure what the heck you people are thinking. We are not stupid.
Most sincerely,

Obama Left with a Mess - Say what?
I am growing so tired of hearing how the Obama administration was "left with a mess" whenever they are asked why the current economy is in such bad shape. They seem to forget that it was Clinton who left America at such risk that we were attacked just 8 months after he left office due to his weak response to the al qaeda threat. It was Clinton who directed credit requirements and standards be lowered so that more of the poor could own homes. This directly lead to the current collapse of the housing market and thus the economy.
It's time to stop this immature response and for the current administration to stand on their own feet. Throwing rocks in a glass house is not smart.
Now I hear that the Obama administration is collecting an enemies list! This concept worked so well for Nixon and the Nazis in Germany. Actually, it's more like the Nazis in Germany since they are asking network neighbors to report one another (flag@whitehouse.gov) if they don't agree with the administration. Nixon at least collected his own names.
This seems to play along with personally attacking people who have different opinions. Personal attacks make this a battle of personalities rather than of ideas. This classic propaganda ploy was used by the Nazis in their rise to power.
A final thought, if this health reform measure is so good why doesn't it cover the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches of the government? While I realize the current health care system is broken and costs are out of control by greedy pharmaceutical companies, dishonest participants, and the tort system, I am still against socializing our health care system. Look what the government has done with Medicare and Medicaid which are looming disasters we are shamelessly laying on our children. The current proposed reform will only add to the burden of these innocent future victims of our fiscal irresponsibiliy. However, should the hypocrites in Washington, D.C. sign up for this same health care system they are cramming down Americas throat, I might be more willing to listen to their banter. Another requirement is that the law be READ by every member of the congress who then signs a legally binding assertion that they have read what they are approving on the behalf of their constituents. It they can't read, but only talk instead, they should give up their seat to someone who is literate.
Anyone who says these thoughts are not my own, and instead put in my mind by others is a dishonest idiot and should not hold a responsible position affecting others. The Republicans couldn't orchestrate a sing along let alone something this fundamental to the American idea and so widespread.
Just some thoughts on my mind.
