I heard on one of the morning news shows this morning that Americans are "engaged" like never before in the health care debate.
Therein lies the problem. They are indeed engaged, but the majority (not all) of the people elected to represent them in Washington are not engaged with their constituents. Divorce is a better option come November.
An historic vote today will prove that. We're about to find out what's inside the legislative bottle wrapped in acrimony, dissent and mis-information. Inside will be a most monstrous genie.
There were so many areas of agreement. Help for those deserving folks without access to healthcare, the ability for companies to purchase healthcare for their employees across state lines to get the best coverage for the best price, preventing people from being turned down for existing conditions and the list goes on.
So there might be some good in with a lot of bad, not the least of which is the lie that somehow spending a Trillion Dollars will lower the deficit. So many lies. And like in any relationship, lies destroy it. D-I-V-O-R-C-E...the disconnect between government and the people becomes final today.
It's going to be one messy divorce.

- Tea anyone? A Tea Party Blog.
- Both parties, Democrats and Republicans alike have let us down. We've let them. Enough is enough. Above all, be polite and peaceful. There are indeed some good honest people in Washington on both sides of the aisle. Too many however have run amok, drunk with power, in powerful leadership positions which demand term limits. Let's take our country back at the polls this November. We start today.
