Rep. Paul Ryan: "This Bill Is More About Ideology Than Health Care Policy" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 11:39 PM
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told Greta on Tuesday night that Obamacare is all about politics and has nothing to do with health care.
Rep. Paul Ryan:
“And, I really think it comes down to a political philosophy. And they believe in a political philosophy that is more like a cradle to grave, more of a social welfare state, kind of like you see in Europe versus the American ideal that we’ve known and loved and grown up with. And, so really what this is more about is ideology than health care policy. Because if this was about health care policy we could get a bi-partisan agreement tomorrow. It’s not about health care policy. They are trying to ram it through as fast as they can before their power slips away from them and that’s why they’re trying to create this brand new entitlement which really does have the government takeover 17% of our economy.”

I was talking to a liberal coworker and you can see the light bulb going on when it was explained that the benefits don’t kick in till 2014.
I wonder how many pro government health care supporters think it becomes retro active if health care is signed into law?

Bozo again, lies; he stated he is not nor never was an ideologist. I cannot wait till this destroyer of the USA is long-gone. He is a waste of air.

Paul Ryan states the obvious.

Yeah, Ryan is stating the obvious–but no other Republican has been stating it!!!
Steele, Conyers, McConnell, etc, ought to stand on a corner with a bullhorn and shout it at the top of their lungs.
Jo commented:
the tenth Psalm — The Bible: This sounds like the Bozo, no really!
“His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent [abortion!]: his eyes are privily set against the poor”.
avery commented:
Of course it not about Health care,except their be a lot less of it.
mike191 commented:
Ryan states clearly the nexus of this “bill.”However, the Media can not find time to inspect this monstrosity and write about any problems this “bill” creates for our Nation.
TaSS commented:
The only thing I disagree with Ryan regarding is the abortion language. The democrats will not be hoodwinked into voting for it but more to point is they are looking to be able to hoodwink the public by saying they did not vote for it.
It’s just political deniabilty.

I really like Congressman Ryan. He speaks my language. I called his office to support him and thank him for his hard work. My Congressman is Mike McIntyre. Who? you ask. Exactly.

susan commented:
Let us be honest; what is all comes down to is over half the American population is looting, pillaging and plundering their own friends, families and neighbors.
Some loot, pillage and plunder in the name of serving their Universal Health Care GOD, others loot, pillage and plunder in the name of serving their Free College Education GOD while others loot, pilliage and plunder for self-serving interst such as mortgages and gasoline.
At the end of the day, American citizens are looting, pilliaging and plundering their own friends, families and neighors.
Shame on them and SHAME on religious organizations such as the Catholic Church and their Universal Health Care; all they doing is encouraging the notion that Americans have the RIGHT TO loot, pillage and plunder family friends and neighbors.
SHAME ON AMERICAN LOOTERS, PILLAGERS AND PLUNDERS.
God’s Word is faithful, He will clean the inside of THAT filthy cup.

A rising star in Ryan. In times like these, Americans will find out what TRUE leadership is and must be.
Truth Seeker commented:
Paul Ryan is my congressman. I’ve seen him speak in person a few times and even if you do not agree with his voting record at times, he at least carries himself with honor and grace and seems to be dedicated to his family which is why I’d be surprised if he ran for a higher office. I’m very thankful to not have a slimeball for a congressman.
drjohn commented:
Ryan is correct. Anything and everything Obama does is about redistributionism.
Period.
susan commented:
“Anything and everything Obama does is about redistributionism.”
Blame Obama-easy to do- however at the end of the day AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE FILLING THEIR WALLETS WITH MONEY THEY LOOTED, PILLAGED AND PLUNDERED.
Instead of looking for a leader to stop American citizens from plundering, looting and pillage it would be far more effective if Americans, themselves, stopping believing they have the RIGHT TO loot, pillage and plunder.
So when Obama sticks out his Universal Health Care (preached by the Pope, no less) Americans might try returning all the money they’ve looted, pillaged and plundered back back to the givers.
Come to think of it, instead of Ryan doing the all work The Council of Bishops would go a lot farther IF they could just say NO to Universal Health Care.
But they won’t, they will continue to loot, pillage and plunder while piously consider themselves righteous people of God.
Here’s the thing-GOD KNOWS THEY ARE LYING>

A COVENANT FOR A NEW AMERICA
["At a press conference on December 1... the possible Presidential contender said, '...the network that Saddleback has helped to create has as much reach as any institutional force in our culture and has probably a wider reach around the world than just about anything that's going on right now.... I hope one of the things that comes out of this conference that Pastor Rick has emphasized again and again, is no single branch of our society is going do this alone. If government thinks they can do it by themselves they're wrong. Churches have to recognize that they've got to be partners with the government. Business has an enormous role....
"...you know the separation of church and state as a concept of the first amendment the biggest practitioners and the people who advocated most fiercely for it were actually evangelicals.'... [Yes, but later liberal humanists turned the meaning upside down.]
UCC member Sen. Barack Obama
discusses faith and politics
[Later -- during his interview with United Church News -- Obama continued his thoughts about religion and politics; specifically, the role of religious principles in reaching a balance between national security and social justice concerns.
"I believe that democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal values," Obama said. "Social justice and national security are both universal values, values that may originate for some in their religious beliefs, but are shared by us all."]
and that’s only the beginning, Obama is also laying the foundation for the wedding of Church/Mosque & State/Government, which will eventually lead to the acceptance of Sharia Law [Harold Koh Confirmed] , the final product being a New World Order under the auspices of an IslaMarxist
UN Caliphate..

Joanne commented:
To think Obama actually cares about the sick is a joke. Socialists do not care about anyone but themselves, and that is why you never see them standing up for anyone unless it is the means to serve their cause.
Obama is partying it up at the Whitehouse, drinking and smoking in excess, spending monies the country doesn’t have at the expense of the taxpayer, while people worry about putting a roof over their heads and food on their table. Does this sound like a guy who gives a damn? Surely not. Any person of decent conscience would never do such things when others are in crisis if they cared.

To Susan:
EXACTLY!!! At some point we Americans that understand what made this country great are going to have to realize en masse that this is not about Obama, Pelosi, and the elected dims. This is about our fellow Americans. Or should I say the Amerikans. Evil has always existed among the powerful. The issue is who put that evil there and who continues to support it. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE SHAMED. OSTRACIZED.

FREEDOM is what made this country great.. “we the people” owe that
to the past & present following members of our society & their families..
It Has Always Been The Soldier
It is the soldier,
not the President who gives us democracy.
It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes care of us.
It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.
It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus [community] Organizer who
has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.

God Bless America!
God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
