Comments on: A hiccup or renewed social change? https://occasionalplanet.org/2010/03/23/a-hiccup-or-renewed-social-change/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Sat, 09 Feb 2013 02:23:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mike https://occasionalplanet.org/2010/03/23/a-hiccup-or-renewed-social-change/#comment-82 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:46:40 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=1259#comment-82 Thank you for creating this unique forum.

I am an independent. I do not trust the Democratic or Republican corporations.

I voted for the President in 2008, but will not be joining “Hope 2.0.” I resent the dishonesty/hypocrisy that has been revealed to me during this health insurance reform chicanery.

I understand that his party won the election, and therefore they control the agenda.

What I don’t understand is why the President would affirm (over and over) that if I am happy with my current health choices, I could keep them, when in fact he is actively pursuing a strategy that would obliterate my freedom of choice and replace it with a universal government system.

Why lie? Is he ashamed (in front of certain audiences) of Medicare-for-all? Where is the courage to stand behind one’s convictions?

Is it a lame attempt at a Jedi mind trick?

It may be politically savvy, but it is insulting and not “the change we need.”

BTW – a few of the comments above are generic bot-generated spam.
