Healthcare: Four years to man-up for American rights, minutes to rally against healthcare for all Americans

For OpEdNews: Lani Massey Brown - Writer

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who leads the charge to block the healthcare bill says, ''This is not a partisan issue . . . It's a question the rights and freedoms of the individual citizens. . ." (1)

--

It only took a few minutes for McCollum to file a lawsuit against the healthcare bill, as he attempts to deny healthcare to millions of Floridians who are uninsured, let alone the millions of uninsured Americans across the country. Yet it took four years for McCollum to weigh-in on the rights of voting Americans in Florida, a state plagued by faulty elections.

Was McCollum concerned about Americans' rights when the statewide "glitch" in Florida's voting machines gifted him some 89,000 to 232,000 votes toward his win to Attorney General? Unless there's another "glitch" that ES&S, the voting machine company, hasn't told us about, counting these lost votes would not have given McCollum's opponent the win. But elections across the state produced similarly invalid results.

McCollum does not care if our voting rights - or any of our rights - are protected, he's just using this lawsuit to push his campaign for governor of Florida and to get his name known nationally.

1. McCollum already has a national name as the Lead Hypocrite during the Clinton Impeachment Fiasco

He was big on grandstanding then, clearly he hasn't changed any.

3. I hope we can defeat him, but I am not very positive about it

He's just gotten too much press with this stupid move. Though I saw a headline today that if they do manage to overturn the new HCR, it could take down Medicare and Social Security which would kill his image here in Florida. But if the courts move too slowly, that would not happen until after November. Maybe just the possibility would be enough to scare the guys who were out there agitating against HCR with the signs "Keep your hands off my Medicare!"
