Olberman said it so it's true.



You were just given information demonstrating that it was never said, but Keithy told you it was.

The original source even said it didn't happen.

But, Keithy told you it did.

I doubt your head will explode because you defer your thinking to others. I understand why you do, too. You clearly aren't qualified.

Cool! Time to spam.

I love making the idiots look like the idiots they are.

Daily Kos: Bush on the Constitution: "just a goddamned piece of paper"

No. But you are a moron, so that's why you posted something moronic.

Q: Did President Bush call the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper"?

A: Extremely unlikely. The Web site that reported those words has a history of quoting phony sources and retracting bogus stories.

FULL QUESTION

Is it true that President Bush called the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper?" He has never denied it, and it appears that there were several witnesses.

FULL ANSWER

The report that Bush "screamed" those words at Republican congressional leaders in November 2005 is unsubstantiated, to put it charitably.

We judge that the odds that the report is accurate hover near zero. It comes from Capitol Hill Blue, a Web site that has a history of relying on phony sources, retracting stories and apologizing to its readers.

Update, Feb. 21, 2011: The author of the Capitol Hill Blue story has now withdrawn it. Doug​

Some say it WAS said and some say it WASN'T. Factcheck.org just said it is unlikely true. Since when do you wingnuts pay any attention to Factcheck.org?

 

[Lakhota]

I have absolutely no doubt that Bush said it. No doubt whatsoever.

How many jobs will this create?

Speaking of job creation, how many did the democrats create when they had two full years of filibuster proof house and senate? None, but their policies sure did cost alot of jobs. How convenient that you forget where the blame should lie.

Look, we all know Bush said it. Plus, there are pictures...

WASHINGTON -- After an emotional floor debate, the House of Representatives on Thursday passed the so-called Protect Life Act, which prohibits women from buying health insurance plans that cover abortion under the Affordable Care Act and makes it legal for hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women with life-threatening conditions.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), a proponent of the bill, told voters last week that its purpose is "to ensure that no taxpayer dollars flow to health care plans that cover abortion and no health care worker has to participate in abortions against their will."

In fact, the Affordable Care Act already keeps public dollars separate from the private insurance payments that cover abortion. A federal judge ruled in August that the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List had to stop making the claim on its website that "Obamacare" subsidizes abortions because the assertion is false.

Protect Life Act Passes House: Congress Passes Controversial Anti-Abortion Bill

it won't get past the senate. it's another wingnut bill out of the House. and even if it got through the senate, the president would veto it. there aren't enough votes to override.

so ultimately, i wouldn't worry about it. more idiocy from the "small government" people.

not to mention it's unconstitutional, but there ya go.

If you guys knew anything about politics you would know it was not meant to get past the senate, it's purpose is to put politicians on record with their vote.

"We" meaning morons like you.

Hey, go for it. You are a moron and those with an IQ over 70 see it every time you post this sort of thing.

At this point, I'm wondering if you have evolved enough to discover that you have an opposable thumb.

You give truthmatters a hard race.

It is untrue that the bill would deny necessary services to a woman with a life threatening condition. The pro-death crowd wasted no time in trying to spread that lie.

Why am I not surprised that it would be you to post this huffy-puffy-think-progress garbage???



300+ replies, so forgive me if somoeone has already pointed out the "rest of the story"....

In the case of an anti-abortion hospital with a patient requiring an emergency abortion, ETMALA would require that hospital to perform it or transfer the patient to someone who can.

Does the Republicans' proposed FY2012 budget not seek to fatally undermine and gradually eliminate EMTALA? It's important to look at the totality of the legislation they've passed, instead of just assuming they haven't undone something yet that might mitigate the effects of another piece of their legislative agenda.

I have no way of answering that.

This entire conversation was based on a lie.
To further speculate from here could only expound on that lie and offer up only conjecture.

Awful strange that Reagan's Congress and Senate of 1986 wasn't a supermajority of Democrats. They held the majority, yes, of both houses.
But not so much so as to account for this kind of vote:

10/31/1985:Passed House (Amended) by Yea-Nay Vote: 245 - 174
11/14/1985:Passed Senate in lieu of S. 1730 with an amendment and an amendment to the Title by Yea-Nay Vote. 93-6.Bill Summary & Status - 99th Congress (1985 - 1986) - H.R.3128 - THOMAS (Library of Congress)


So, explain to me why these evil Republicans would choose NOW to undermine what they helped pass in the first place?

With the Republican congress, the Bush administration, the Dem congress, the Obama administration, the Tea Party members of Congress.

All are at fault, period.

I'm not sure I follow the premise: which Republicans currently holding office helped to pass EMTALA 25 years ago?

The tea party just came into existence, so please carefully detail their involvement.
