One American dies every 12 minutes for lack of heath care. This bill covers children, veterans and those with hardships. This bill is imperative to Americans and as the republicans drag their feet more are dying. When a republican puts the all mighty dollar above the life of Americans, I change sides and will most certainly find time to work to help the Democrats in elections. This is a moral vote on integrity.

Republicans want more of the same. No regulation, no healthcare but please – cut my taxes. They are the definition of insanity – doing things the same over and over again and expecting a different outcome. No regulation in the financial industry has caused untold pain among Americans. Banks, who were bailed out, have gone back to the same practices with credit default swaps and gouging credit card customers. The only thing banks aren’t doing the same is in the loan market. They aren’t loaning to anyone anymore. And isn’t that interesting after the present they got from the American taxpayers to keep afloat.

Frank is a partisan tool.
So here is the Democrat strategy:
1) Get Republicans involved and start discussions with no intention of finishing.
2) Break off talks abruptly and hold a press conference stating that “Americans simply cannot wait for x.”
3) Swing to the far left of the negotiated legislation and buy off your own party with sweetheart deals and kickbacks. Use false facts and lies to try and manupulate the public into believing your BS.
4) Cram the bill down the throats of Americans while calling Republicans the party of “No” even though you had no intention of working with them to begin with.
5) Pat yourselves on the back for passing bad legislation.
6) Demonize anyone who disagrees with you.
7) Post an editorial on the Huffington Post.

Frank has already done enough damage already with the regulation of the free-market via Fannie and Freddie. Ron Paul, where are you when we need you. Talk some sense to Frank.
