Re: Why aren’t the Republicans listening to Americans?

Geez, this is so laughable.   David Di Martino, another Moonbat living under a rock!!  

 

The Republicans clearly are speaking for the American Public, whereas the Socialist-Elitists in power have not, forcing this socialized medicine down the  Americans' proverbial throats.   By example, everyone should see a major jump in their health insurance premiums at the end of this month/1st of October, thanks in total to the Obama Administration! 

 

Thank God we only have a couple few more months of this, before we make this Marxist Administration "Lame Duck"!   Let us pray that we can limit the damage he and his Administration does in the next two years!  And let us all be thankful that Americans are waking up to the evils of the Obama Administration, and the naivity of Sugarshack, Tommy, and a host of other misguided Socialists/'Marxists!!

One of the most repeated criticisms you hear from Republican leaders
and  
opponents of the historic Affordable Care Act that will expand health
insurance  coverage to 30 million Americans and end unfair insurance
company
practices that  deny coverage to those in need is that Congress passed
it despite
the "objection  of the American people." The "objection" cited is a
reference to public opinion  polling that showed mixed levels of
support for the
healthcare reform  bill.

But when Republicans in Congress are faced with objections from the
 public
about their proposals to go relive the Bush era of financial
stewardship,  
they ignore the public's wishes.

The Hill's Jay Heflin _reports results of a new Gallup  poll_
(http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/domestic-taxes/117995-new-
poll-...
ort-ending-tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy)  show overwhelming opposition to
stopping the imminent Bush tax  increases for the wealthiest
Americans. According
to the reporting, Gallup's  poll shows that "59 percent [of those
polled]
favor ending tax cuts for the  rich." The poll indicated that 56
percent of
independents and even 44 percent of  Republicans polled would prefer
an end
to tax breaks for the wealthy. Those  looming tax increases are part
of a
set of tax increases put in place by  President Bush and the
Republican
Congress in 2001 that will raise taxes on  nearly every American
taxpayer in 2011.

Instead of supporting the tax  cuts for lower- and middle-class
Americans
and small businesses proposed by  President Obama and the Democratic
Congress
to prevent the Bush tax increases,  Republicans are set to block those
tax
cuts for American families unless the  president backs the highly
unpopular
tax breaks for millionaires. The polling  says Americans want to end
the tax
breaks for the rich. Why are Republicans in  Congress not listening to
the
will of the American people?

Just like  their opposition to the toughest Wall Street reform bill
since
the Depression  and their refusal to pass the small-business bill that
would
immediately create  jobs and inject much-needed capital to the growth
engines of our economy,  Republicans are playing politics and opposing
the will of
the public when it  comes to tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.
They
believe that if the  economy continues to recover slowly, they'll win
more
seats in November.  

The president and the Democrats in Congress are listening to the
people  
and putting the country, not politics, first. They favor halting the
Bush tax  
increases for lower- and middle-class Americans and small businesses
and  
allowing the Bush tax increases on the wealthy. Gallup says the
Democrats'  
proposal "is the specific option the public prefers most."

Maybe it's  time for Republicans in Washington to start listening to
the
American public and  start doing what's right for this economy.

".....if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not
 behind,
someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who
 cares
about the welfare of the people- their health, their housing, their
 schools,
their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties.. if that is
what  they
mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal. ": John F.
