Are poor people being denied access to cable?

Exactly.

People accomodate themselves pretty damn well in our wonderful country. When health care becomes a primary fiscal asset/liability/responsibility for every family, most people will have it.

This is the culture, with deep roots, that Latinos come from. It isn’t like they show up in the US, go to Mass and then get bombarded with La Raza propaganda and decide to vote Dem.

Eventually people will pay for their own medical like they do with their cable bill.

And how is the end result of this not poor people being denied access to quality health care?

Rather than making a one-size-fits-all health plan under the control of the feds that you are part of whether you like it or not, why not allow an open market to offer different shapes and sizes of health plans custom-made for people? You’d be more likely to find a plan that suits you and you take away a big stick that the government could wield to get you to do what they want. Seems like a win-win to me.

If both sides were committed there would be a period wherein there was equal goverment and private market competition. Private providers would have to compete with government providers in their ramp-up.

Maybe a sunset period of 5-7 years would give assure fearful citizens (read old people) that they would not be lost in the mix trying to pay out of pocket for necessary maintenance.

Republicans need to be realistic. Private health care has other costs involved that people are going to have learn to accept. Convenience and quality are usually better. But it will take a long time for the public to understand that and deal with the new bills in their lives.

More Republicans than Democrats support vouchers that would allow people in bad areas to take the $10,000+ that the failing public school gets for their kid and take their kid to another school that performs better. They support this because they don’t believe that only wealthy people should have the luxury of choosing better schools for their kids.

I am a supporter of vouchers. I do did business with a voucher-funded academy. They were defunded.

I was a bit leery of your facts. On second glance I mostly concur. $10k seemed high to me from what I recall. But I checked here.

Whether or not a charter or voucher-funded school gets fully-funded is another thing. But most private schools would do WONDERS with 10k.

WOW.

But I will give time to all sorts of Hispanic-outreach. I will use currently posted party platform. I am bilingual in the most comedic way. Perhaps I can win some people over out of sheer curiosity of what exactly I’m trying to say in Spanish. I love business owners. Repeat, I love business owners. Hispanic culture embraces entrepreneurship. I am not afraid of low-income neighborhoods or mentality. There are many, many, many Republicans out there like me.

I am committed to this. I welcome naysayers and sh*t-talkers to put-up or shut up. If you can’t stand up for the current party-platform then what exactly are you standing up for?

Let me guess, the US Constitution, right? Roger that Thomas Paine.

But, but don’t tread on me! Whatever. The Tea Party is no party without the Republican Party. Remember that.

I feel cheated so my money is on hold for 2013. But I think this outreach effort has to begin now. I don’t have to Waltz to Bluegrass with Lindsey Graham just because we’re at the same dance.

I have my own funky little chicken-walk thing going on anyway. Turn up the mariachi music! Blare your banda! Rock out en espanol! I will just tell you or tu to put on your RED SHOES and dance.

Let’s dance.
