   DemocRATs absolutely do not want to see any private health care plans   
   compete against Medicare.  Bear in mind, nobody will be required to   
   participate in a private plan.  The DemocRATs are afraid, though, that   
   some seniors will.  Now if those seniors like their experience with a   
   private plan, they may tell other seniors.  They do talk, you know.   
   Then other seniors will join the private plan, enjoy their experience,   
   and tell even   
   more seniors.  DemocRATs are scared to death that these private sector   
   plans may do such a good job competing against the inefficiencies of   
   government that they will see more, then more and then more seniors   
   bailing from Medicare to go to the private sector.   
      
   Think about the last four or five presidential elections.  In every   
   single one of those elections you have heard DemocRATs sound two very   
   familiar themes.  In the last days of those campaigns the DemocRATs   
   will tell senior citizens that the evil Republicans have a secret plan   
   (it's always a secret plan) to destroy Social Security and to destroy   
   Medicare.  And every single year senior citizens get the cat food   
   scared out of them and rush to the polls to vote for DemocRATs just to   
   save their Social Security and their Medicare.  Question:  How will   
   these DemocRATs be able to frighten senior citizens with lies about   
   secret plans if the seniors are relying on the private sector for   
   their health insurance?   
      
   DemocRATs are the party of big overbearing government.  DemocRATs will   
   support any program that increases government power.  DemocRATs can be   
   relied on to oppose any proposal that would reduce the political power   
   that comes with government control.  They oppose competition for   
   Social Security, they oppose competition with their precious   
   government indoctrination centers they call schools, and they oppose   
   any threat of competition with Medicare or interference with their   
   plans for socialized medicine in the   
   United States.   
      
   Do you need more proof of the DemocRATs love of government and their   
   HATRED of the private sector?  Just pay close attention to DemocRAT   
   presidential front-runner Howard Dean.  Just this week he was calling   
   for a massive re-regulation of American business.  The economy is   
   growing, businesses are expanding, people are finding jobs ... and   
   Howard Dean wants the government to step in and re-regulate American   
   business.   
      
   Are these the clowns you're going to support in next year's election?   
      
   Don't Republicans off the hook here either.  They went into this fight   
   with plans to tie the prescription drug benefit to participation in a   
   private Medicare plan.  They came out with a watered down idea of   
   setting up some sort of a demonstration plan for private sector   
   competition in just six American cities.  There will be so much   
   political interference with these "demonstrations" that they are   
   doomed to failure.   
      
   Do you know that Medicare is going to spend $13 trillion dollars more   
   than it takes in payroll taxes over the next 75 years?  This   
   prescription drug benefit will bring that up to about $20 trillion.   
   That doesn't bother you though, does it?  After all, you'll be   
   long-dead.  Let your grandchildren solve this mess.   
      
   Yeah, that's the spirit.

   Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being. They   
   are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, selfish, intolerant,   
   bigoted and racist.
