Opinion Line (Nov. 10)


As American citizens, we should all be able to vote on this health care system. No lawmaker from Kansas speaks for me.

* * *

If the American Medical Association approves of a health care reform bill, then why shouldn't we, the patients, also approve of it? The AMA doesn't have a partisan ax to grind.

* * *

Doctors charge more every year, hospitals charge more every year, drug companies charge more every year — but we have no idea why our health costs keep going up.

* * *

To heck with health care. We want jobs.

* * *

So 2,000 people showed up at the "tea party." The rest of us who elected and support the president and administration were busy working.

* * *

The only thing wrong with tea party was that it was about 11 months too late.

* * *

Thank you, New Jersey and Virginia. The end clock on Obama has begun ticking.

* * *

I predict President Obama will continue to blame George W. Bush until November 2012, when Obama is voted out of office.

* * *

Please tell me again why we are in Afghanistan.

* * *

What happened at Fort Hood is terrible, but look at the alleged shooter's name. That should tell all of our country something.

* * *

Political correctness is killing our military.

* * *

Wichita — the pothole capital of the world.

* * *

The city has money to send people overseas to visit our Sister Cities, but we don't have money to adequately fund our streets. Looks like we have a priority problem at City Hall.

* * *

I know where Mayor Carl Brewer can get extra money for the roads: Don't hire any more consultants.

* * *

Union Station as a film studio? Get real. We will need Union Station to function again as a railroad station. When is Wichita going to face the future instead of clinging ignorantly to the past?

* * *

I'm not a robot, so don't treat me like one.

* * *

People on the coasts say that America doesn't produce anything anymore. They ought to visit Kansas during the harvest and give their minds some fresh air.
