Sen. Cornyn's Floor Speech on the Pelosi Health Bill and its Impact on Jobs

[guywalker29]

Tons of people in the United States continue to be psychologically trapped to gravitate toward a grandfather or father figure who is going to have the answers and take care of kicking butt. Those days are over. The Republican Daddies put us in debt to the tune of billions with communist China and now it's time for the great escape. We cannot bomb our way out of this one, kids and we can't trust Dad anymore. We have to dance the steps the rest of the world does now and that's not so bad.

Lincoln shuddered at the prospect of putting too much power in the hands of industrialists and now we watch them pull strings on the likes of Leiberman and the Republicans while the little guy has no recourse. The Fat Cats own the pharmaceutical and insurance companies and with the help of come good old fashioned propaganda got you believing that they are looking out for your best interests. Well guess what, the fact you still want Frank Sinatra on your radio and John Wayne is wrong headed.

[guywalker29]

You kids sound like 1972. All your assertions are outdated. your party is broken down and you have become selfish small minded and trivial. The U.S. is in a global market now. We have to cooperate with other countries and we have to cooperate with each other. We have t help each other. Welfare is not bankrupting the country. The little guy is not at fault here. Big business has bought Republicans and they are strangling the little guy closing up the unions and destroying the middle class.

The welfare state is bankrupting this nation.

If only the Founders were alive today...hangings for these morons would be de rigeur.

[guywalker29]

Not only is this guy stupid, he's an Enron insider. He's always talking about sweetheart deals and poor little Americans, but he's all for the fat cats in Texas. He was directly responsible for our billions in debt to communist China. He's not only stupid, he's a hypocrite.

[dartsp]

This guy is stupid! People are losing their jobs and those jobs are being sent over seas. Why? Because companies don't have to pay for health care for their low paid workers. All other industrialized nations have health car for all and nobody goes bankrupt. If you are so concerned about the health care bill then why didn't you fix it during the 6 years republicans had the power during the clown bush administration? Just shut up cornyn, because YOU aren't doing ANYTHING to assist! SHUT UP!!

[phoenixtimes2]

Yes, my senators in Texas are sure doing me proud. They vote against everything that actually helps people. Their pockets are full of money from lobbyists and they want to make sure no one gets quality health care but themselves. They disgust me.

[SpeedingStudent]

At least my Senators have their heads on right in dealing with this socialist nonsense.

I hope Pelosi fails. I don't believe in a god, but god help this tired nation.

[guywalker29]

Speeding Student you think that public libraries, fire departments and public schools are bad socialist ideals? When Ben Franklin or any American has ever thought to pass some kind of solid legislature to help Americans help each other that becomes social-ism? Why don't you call up your local fire department and tell them you don't need them. And home school your kids so they can get in to Harvard. Close the libraries SpeedingStudent, so you can then burn the books.

[SpeedingStudent]

@guywalker29 You are full of it. Those are public resources.

Theres nothing in the Constitution granting government or the states the right to force any citzen to buy any good or service.

We will be taxed, there will be medical rationing, and doctors will quit because all their hard years in medical school will not pay what they feel it is wirth to them. As a result of this, the standard for acceptance and graduation from med school will be set so low incompetence will be normal. Just wait

It's become vividly clear that "most" politicians have other agendas. I approve of Cornyn's stand against Reid and Pelosi's Health Care Bill.

Senator, tell Madam Speaker that NOWHERE in the Constitution does it say that I am compelled to pay ANYTHING for illegals' welfare. Not their medical, not their food, not their housing and not their education. The Speaker can find other means to find votes for her Socialist idiology without taxing me or stealing from MY Social Security.

[dartsp]

@savedactress where the hell in the bill does it state illegals' get ANYTHING? Stop listening to this idiot Cornyn, he is one of the reasons we're in this mess. He voted to screw it up, pocketed a bundle of cash and now can't find a way to help fix anything.

He is talking shit, and doesn't have an original idea in his head. The GBO stated that the public option will save money and a universal health care system would be the most cost effective. He is using old data, he is a lying asshole!

Senator Cornyn gave $1 trillion to Wall Street bailouts and ___ on the Iraq war. He should have resigned a long time ago. People in countries with evil "socialized" medicine live longer, healthier, happier lives. Ex: Canada and everyone in western Europe. Senator Cornyn plays on our love for capitalism to advocate for "health insurance" companies. These companies are hilarious unnecessary and inefficient, which is why Americans pay 11 times more for the same drugs made in the same factories.

[chgoyette]

Senator Cornyn continues to hammer Sen. Reid on revealing his closed-door session created healthcare bill. This is a totally justifiable request. Personally, I find the tactic of Sen. Reid outrageous.

I've listened to most of what Sen. Cornyn has had to say about healthcare reform and agree with his positions. Reforming healthcare cannot come at the expense of losing jobs, increasing taxes, and furthering the cause of bankrupting our nation. This is clearly the trademark of a globalist agenda!

[jeangrey65]

What does he have to say about voting for rape? taxpayer-endowed contractor Halliburton/KBR allowed for the gang rape of several employees. Cornyn voted against Senator Al Frankens amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill that would in fact punish contractors if they "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."It passed despite his efforts. Don't be fooled, he's corprate, not caring. Check my front page and hear her story.

[rungy07]

Thank you Senator. More and more I believe the only way to keep Miss Pillowshit's power in check is to excercide state sovereignty and exempt Texas from compliance with this legislative abomination. We can do that...YES WE CAN !!!!

; )

you rock Sen. Cornyn! keep up the good work!
