Oh My God--DNC is attacking the American Populace in new add regarding health bill

[Coyote]

Not gonna say you're wrong, since the Repubs did it themselves over a different issue. At the same time, I think it's likely the people who staged these townhall harassments are gonna have it backfire on them, too...if it hasn't started already.

It will not, simply because of the 'boy who tried wolf' syndrome, Obama has gone to that well far to often.

In and of itself that statement smacks of arrogance.

Not at all, since I am not a Republican, but an observer opposed to BOTH parties, thus when i say this, i say it objectivly.

That wouldn't necessarily make you any more objective since even if opposed, your ideological leanings might make you more sympathetic to one over the other.

I don't care for either party and belong to none - in fact I'd love to see more then two parties in the system, but I'll admit I tend to lean more towards the Democrats positions on many issues then the GoP's and I am sure that would make me less then impartial.

The Congressional Democrats are currently behaving with the same arrogance of presumed mandate that the Republicans did before them...and the Republicans are engaging in the same partisan obstructionism as they accused the Democrats of doing. With a few notable exceptions (like Lindsay Graham) - they are all doing their best to continue the bitter partisan squabbling that has marked the last decade and disgusted much of their electorate. Regardless of how the public feels about that particular bill - it is only one bill, which will have to be reconciled with the bill from the other chamber and witih the President - the public, by a substantial margin does feel the status quo of healthcare needs some sort of change and those who are disrupting the townhall meetings seem to forget that. It's not Obama "crying wolf" - it's partisan fighting and purely ideological obstruction that is more likely to backfire.

Good. I'm glad to see the Dems fight back on this instead of just taking it.

yeah, and lying their asses off

Hardly.

 

[Coyote]

that's another lames assed liberal tactic,, just call everybody a liar! damn fools.

Well...normally when someone lies, that makes them a liar.

Unless you're a Republican. Then it's called "truth".

Such a bizzarro world they live in.

obama lied, the economy died!

Republican lies are like roadkill: run over so many times they're dried up, impossible to identify what they started out as and you need a trowel to scrape them off the pavement...but...if you're hungry enough....you can probably find a little protein there.

I'm sorry Emma, and I know you will disagree with me on this one but it's a little tasteless to go after people who even though you may not agree with their views on a personal level and associate them as unimportant or somehow agenda driven by some evil entity simply because they are expressing them. In fact this same standard if applied to every American who did as these people are doing would cause huge outcry among the media and not only that you would hear calls of first Amendment violations all over the place. I think no matter what your side is in this debate you should be free to express yourself as that right like all the others found in our constitution is a foundation of our republic. It is incumbant upon those that run these townhalls to keep the order in them, a good case in point would be the hearings on healthcare and the disruptions caused by groups favoring single payer options. To simply dismiss these people as "mobs" will serve no good in a debate on healthcare that no matter how you slice will have an impact on every single American not just democrats or republicans. In the end, I think we can all agree that bringing down the costs of healthcare is a good thing, and when we stop this trying to make a person less of an american simply because they have a viewpoint then we can begin to form a consensus that will benefit all of us and not just some of us.

Have you guys listened to this add yet. Just out today!

you gotta put a youtube link or something in the OP (Opening Post)

I'll get it for you.

BRB

Thanks--got it & now it is on the opening op. The Video that tells all. Talk about putting the final nail in the DNC's coffin. Ripping apart honest--hardworking--taxpaying--Americans--referring to them as a MOB!

The only MOB around here is the democrat party--trying to shove every piece of B.S. down our throats as fast as they can--so fast that we can't find out what's in them until it's too late.

OBAMA took 6 months to find a dog for his daughters--yet he tried to shove this health care reform bill down our throats in 3 WEEKS!

THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST--& it looks like it is going to be one heck of a Bar-B-Q this August.

What is bullshit are the lies coming from the right. They are incapable of starting from a point of reality in discussing this issue. Instead they have to resort to fear tactics and lies.

So kudos for the Dems finally fighting back against those lies the right keeps putting forth. I hope they continue.

 

[Maple]

Emma. these are real people, democrats, republicans and independents many who voted for Obama and now are FORMER Obama supporters. The majority of Democrats are not liberals, they will lean middle right. Liberals are a minority, most people in this country were fooled by Obama, he spoke as a centrist, he is not, neither is Pelosi or Reed. They are the extreme left of the party, representing a minority of the populace.

If you beleive that this is all staged and these are just paid actors would you please explain to me why Obama has lost 16 points in the polls in a very short time. One poll tonight shows only a 39% approval rating for HIS health care reform. That means that the other 61% of the people are against this take over of our health care by the federal government.

We all want reform, but reform needs to take place in the private sector, we do not want a one payer national health care system that mimics Canada's failed system.

The insurance companies...excuse me...the republican party is now in full panic mode. They have a little over a month to try the same fear mongering tactics they used to kill healthcare under Clinton.
Initially labeling the well being of american citizens as "socialism", they now revert to the scare tactics on the uninformed.
"You will not get to choose your doctor" LIE
You will be forced to wait while Illegal imigrants get care" LIE
The government will arrange for the elderly to die" MORE LIES

If the government is so inept at everything they do, why are the insurance companies so afraid to compete with them?

Well Being of America? Please explain to us...IN DETAIL, just how a group of Bureaucrats that have FAILED in their ability to manage the Medicare Program while handling only a small portion of the American population (the elderly).....thus having allowed their incompetence to have this SMALL program, as compared to the proposed one.....managing the health care of everyone in this nation....with medicare on the verge of insolvency ALREADY, with the only life preserver being the constant borrowing of monies from the future generations of our children and grandchildren....AND THIS IS FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA? NOW....you want them to attempt to handle the entire nation? Right............Why not have them demonstrate the ability to manage what they have their hands in already before granting them the right to decide who lives or dies by their Sluggish Bureaucracy....BABY STEPS. This is simply a desire to have one of many communist programs implemented that have been on the wish list for 50 years....they see their chance....and to hell with proper management.

This is suicide for our economy. Can you spell....B A N A N A R E P U B L I C ? Nothing in this world is FREE. And our middle class will simply fade into the sunset if these communists are given free reign. This man (barry) has shown the ability to manage nothing. He has shown his ability to SPEND like a housewife with a new credit card....one day soon the bill is going to come. He has spend more money in 6 months than the entire list of presidents ranging from George the 1st (Washington) to George the last (W).....COMBINED, We can only pray for an end to this idiocy.

Whassamatta?


All of a sudden you have a problem with democracy in action?

I don't know that he does, but the progressives on this forum seem to.

Are you against people speaking up at townhall meetings? Ater all, that is the very grassroots level of Democracy there is.

 

[AllieBaba]

As I've said before...when you have huge groups of Americans organizing to protest the current government, watch the hell out.
