I applaud Democratic Lawmakers’ stand to rebuke Mr. Wilson for behaving badly during the President’s Health Care Reform Address. When you disrespect the OFFICE of the Presidency in the HALLOWED Halls of Congress, you need to get a dose of YOUR OWN MEDICINE.
Instead of being bombarded by media coverage of Conservative versus Liberal politicians, pundits, and Russia-viewing ‘twits’ debating the pros and cons of Health Care Reform, WHY AREN’T WE SEEING AND HEARING THE VOICES OF THE UNINSURED IN MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE HEALTH CARE REFORM DEBATE?
Instead of being bombarded by media coverage of REPRESENTATIVES from ‘KKK WIHOUT A HOOD’ promoting a bad taste for the beverage of “Tea”, WHY AREN’T WE SEEING AND HEARING THE VOICES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF HEALTH CARE-RELATED BANKRUPTSY ON MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE HEALTH CARE REFORM DEBATE?
HEALTH CARE MEDIA COVERAGE SHOULD BE, TOTALLY, TRANSPARENT. COVERAGE OF THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THE PAINFUL SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS OF THE DEBATE, MAY NOT UP THE RATINGS, BUT IT WILL, CERTAINLY, BRING THE MATTER HOME!
If you agree, let the media hear YOUR VOICE!
Now that Republican Lawmakers are gloating over THEIR EXTREMIST SPOKESPERSON heyday during the August Recess, they are flooding the airways with how much they are willing to COMPNOMISE on Health Care Reform IF Democrats include provisions such as tort reform.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I haven’t heard ONE Republican Lawmaker state what HE OR SHE would GIVE UP in return!!!
It seems like the REPUBLICAN DEFINITION of “compromise” IS FULL OF NO AND EMPTY OF PRO!
The MEAN-SPIRITED, POLARIZING RIGHT WING-ORCHESTRATED strategey to BRING DOWN DEMOCRACY AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES with THEIR “WEAPONS” of Anti-Health Care Reform and Anti-Presidential Address to young Americans is RACIST!
“REAL” AMERICANS WHO MOBILIZED TO ELECT OBAMA MUST MOBILIZE TO PREVENT RIGHT WING RACISTS FROM USING ‘WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION” TO DESTROY A DEMOCRACY THAT DID NOT GO THEIR RACIST WAY!
IF YOU CARE ABOUT “REAL” DEMOCRATIC VALUES, START PROTECTING THEM NOW!
EDUCATIONALLY-DEPRIVED educational system representatives and Right Wing Anti-Obama spokespersons who object to and who are politicizing the President’s upcoming message to students ARE STUPID! What do they think the President is going to say to young people – drop out of school, do drugs, don’t study?
It’s just ANOTHER STUPID RIGHT WING-ORCHESTRATED distraction to take SMART AMERICANS’ eyes off the President’s upcoming Health Care Reform address.
THEY WANT SMART, YOUNG AMERICANS TO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN THE DARK AGES JUST LIKE THEM. NOW THAT’S STUPID!
Senator McCain and other Republican Lawmakers have been flooding the airways with statements about what they will miss and what they admired about Senator Ted Kennedy. If THEY PRACTICED what they admired about Senator Kennedy, the REPUBLICAN “BREAK OBAMA” BLOCKADE would be laid to rest, and the “PEOPLE’S BUSINESS” would, finally, NOT be missed!
The most notable qualities that Senator McCain and other Republican Lawmakers stated they will miss and admired about Senator Ted Kennedy were that he “cared about the little man”, “reached across the aisle”, “was a master of compromise”, and “was a man of his word”.
The ONE THING Senator McCain and other Republican Lawmakers, CONVENIENTLY, failed to mention is SENATOR TED KENNEDY’S ADMIRATION FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA - THE KEY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO PUT WHAT THEY WILL MISS AND ADMIRED INTO PRACTICE!
President Obama is fighting for the “LITTLE MAN” in his push for Senator Kennedy’s principles of quality and affordable health care for all. He “REACHED ACROSS THE AISLE” with a bi partisan approach towards Health Care Reform legislation. He “COMPROMISED” with the Republican Blockade in the development of a bi-partisan Stimulus Package. He is a “MAN OF HIS WORD” by attempting to fulfill so many Campaign Promises in such a short space of time.
IF PRESIDENT OBAMA CAN PUT WHAT WILL BE MISSED AND ADMIRED ABOUT SENATOR TED KENNEDY INTO PRACTICE, WHY CAN’T THEY?
Webster defines a PRINCIPLE as a “basic or essential, quality or element determining the nature of a behavior.” Webster defines a PLAN as a “detailed scheme, program or method worked out BEFOREHAND for the accomplishment of an objective “.
So, why are media talk show hosts, pundits, ‘Obama Breaking’ Republican Lawmakers and Right Wing Extremists continuously MISREPRESENTING President Obama’s Health Care Reform PRINCIPLES with a Health Care Reform PLAN?
President Obama sought BI PARTISAN OWNERSHIP of a Health Care Reform PLAN from the beginning of the great Health Care Reform Debate. THE PRESIDENT NEVER PRESENTED HIS HEALTH CARE REFORM PRINCIPLES AS A HEALTH CARE REFORM PLAN. If he did, the SAME media talk show hosts, pundits, ‘Break Obama Republican Lawmakers, and Right Wing Extremists would be ACCUSING THE PRESIDENT of devising a Health Care Reform PLAN “BEFORE” and/or WITHOUT seeking BI PARTISAN input from Congress!
THE PRESIDENT SET FORTH KEY PRINCIPLES HE WANTED TO SEE IN A BI PARTISAN HEALTH CARE REFORM PLAN. Anyone WHO WANTS TO BE INFORMED about those “PRINCIPLES” can go to www.whitehouse.gov/issues/health_care and/or www.whitehouse.gov/.../Letter-from-President-Obama-to-Chairman-Edward-M-Kennedy-and-Max-Baucus/ While you’re at the above sites, you will, also, notice that the “PUBLIC OPTION” principle is just a “SLIVER” of the President’s TOTAL Health Care Reform Principles Package!
IF YOU DEPEND ON SLY MEDIA TALK SHOW HOSTS, PUNDITS, ‘BREAK OBAMA’ REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS AND RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED, YOU’LL REMAIN IN THE DARK. RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT YOU TO BE!
Right Wing ANTI PUBLIC OPTION EXTREMISTS like to chant the mantra “KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY LIFE.” I think they should get what they ask for. Transport them to THEIR VERY OWN deserted island and “keep Government out of [their] lives.
They will have NO Government-subsidized roadway systems, NO Government-subsidized pipelines for running water or sewage disposal, NO Government-subsidized garbage collection services, NO Government-subsidized housing services, NO Government-subsidized school systems, NO Government-subsidized fire services, NO Government-subsidized law enforcement services, NO Government-subsidized environmental protection services, NO Government-subsidized parks and recreational services, NO Government-subsidized disaster services, and, BY THE WAY, NO Government-subsidized Medicare benefits, No Government-subsidized FREE health care clinics, and NO Government-subsidized Social Security benefits as well.
THEY’LL be scrambling to create THEIR OWN “Government-subsidized” SURVIVAL System, and WE’LL be getting a, well deserved, vacation from their GETTING ON OUR LAST NERVE!
NO!
Here are the reasons why…
1. The President OPENED HIS ARMS to the Bi Partisan way of doing things and WHAT DID IT GET HIM in return? DEATH THREATS to himself, his family and Democratic Lawmakers, LIES, SCARE TACTICS, SUB-HUMAN/ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND “DUMBED DOWN” REBPUBLICAN ANTI-PROPOSALS!
2. BI-PARTISANSHIP, IN AND OF ITSELF, IS THE CORRECT WAY TO GO. However, if REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS are UNWILLING to resolve the nation’s health care crisis IN A BI-PARTISAN MANNER, the President and DEMOCRATIC Lawmakers MUST TAKE A UNIFIED STAND AND STICK TO IT!
3. The IMPACT of the STIMULUS PACKAGE was SLOWED DOWN BY President’s Obama’s attempt to appease Republican Lawmakers in a Bi Partisan manner. Republican Lawmakers MADE IT THERE BUSINESS to WATER DOWN the Stimulus Package and THAT slowed its pace.
4. PRO OPTION SUPPORTERS, THE PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS CANNOT LET HEALTH CARE REFORM GO DOWN THE SAME PATH!
5. The “WHY NOW?” argument makes ABSOLUTLY NO SENSE. Health Care Reform has been PASSED AROUND the Legislative bargaining table FOR YEARS AND YEARS. MEANWHILE health care COSTS have SYKROCKETED; the PRIVATELY insured are SUDDENLY finding themselves UNINSURED, and the UNITED STATES RANKS 37 IN HEALTH CARE AMONG EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATION IN THE WORLD!
6. THE PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS MUST TAKE A UNIFIED STAND AND STICK TO IT WITH OR WITHOUT THE REPUBLICAN BLOCKADE!
1. If you attend a Health Care Reform forum to get answers, can you get those answers by DROWNING out the response?
2. If you want to SEE AND HEAR a proponent of an ideology you don’t believe, does TREATENING THEIR LIVES FOR APPEARING achieve that result?
3. If you disagree with someone, will PHYSICAL ASSAULTS bring them around to your way of thinking?
4. If your method of protest is CIVIL, are defaced placards of the President, Swastika graffiti on Democratic Lawmakers’ Headquarter signs, “Death to Obama, Michele, and his two stupid kids” posters, and burning Democratic Lawmaker effigies the BEST YOU CAN OFFER in regards to civility?
5. If “freedom of speech” is your motive, does DENYING ANOTHER’S “freedom of speech” make it right?
The 2003 Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, Modernization Act was passed by the REPUBLICAN-DOMINATED CONGRESS IN 2003.
THE COSTS: 500 BILLIION PLUS and rising
THE FUNDING: -0-
WHERE WAS REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE COST CONSCIOUSNESS IN 2003? I GUESS THEY WERE TOO BUSY DEREGULATING AND LEGISLATING MORE DEFICITS TO NOTICE!
Death threats, racial epithets, physical assaults, placards DEFACING the President’s likeness, and EFFIGIES of Democratic Lawmakers are NOT a simple exercise of “freedom of speech”.
REPUBLICAN Lawmakers who are now on a media blitz JUSTIFYING the CIVIL RIGHTS ATTACK DOG/MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 CAMPAIGN RALLY behavior of THEIR EXTREMISTS SPOKESPERSONS as a simple matter of “freedom of speech” have GOT TO GO in 2010!
THEY HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND CLEARLY STATING THAT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS AND VALUES OF ALL OF AMERICA, JUST THE SOUTHERN EXTREMISTS FRINGE. WE NEED TO ELECT CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES WHO REPRESENT US ALL. THAT'S THEIR JOB!
SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO SAY OR DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE MADNESS! The REPUBLICAN PARTY condones their behavior by SILENT SANCTION. REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS condone their behavior by SILENT SANCTION. The CONSERVATIVE MEDIA condone their behavior by SILENT SANCTION. The CONSERVATIVE RELIGIOUS RIGHT condones their behavior by SILENT SANCTION. Well, I’M NOT GOING to condone their behavior by SILENT SANCTION and here are the reasons why. EXTREME RIGHT WINGERS ARE DEMONSTRATING TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR because…
1. They DON’T want the American Public to hear THE TRUTH about Health Care Reform
2. They are IRRATIONAL BEINGS who receive great joy from SCARE TACTICS and SUBHUMAN behavior.
3. They are WILLING PAWNS of Right Wing RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS.
4. They are POLARIZING PEONS who love DISCORD and DISRESPECT.
5. They are CLOSET RACISTS who CAN’T STAND to see an “EVERYMAN” in the Presidency.
ANY RIGHT WING EXTREMIST WHO DISRUPTS A PUBLIC MEETING; THREATENS THE SAFETY OF RATIONAL MEETING ATTENDEES, OR THREATENS THE LIVES OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS OUGHT TO BE THROWN IN JAIL!
Grassroots Pro-Health Care Reform Movement organizers and participants are GREAT! They are managing to state a clear message WITHOUT stooping down to the jeering, booing, shouting SCRIPTED ANTICS of RIGHT WING, ‘BREAK OBAMA’, NO Health Care Reform EXTREMISTS.

During the CONGRESSIONAL AUGUST RECESS, make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that YOU WILL NOT BE VOTING ‘Break Obama’ REPUBLICAN Lawmakers AND ‘On the Fence” DEMOCRATIC Lawmakers BACK INTO OFFICE if they don’t STOP their NON-PRODUCTIVE bickering, talk show clown DODGING, private health care insurer PANDERING, ‘sitting on the fence’ HEALTH CARE REFORM CIRCUS SIDESHOW!
WE accomplished the NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE by electing Obama into the Presidency. If we UNITE and put our minds to it, WE have the power to elect SERIOUS BI-PARTISAN LAWMAKERS who will help the President get THE PEOPLE’S WORK done!
Making a CIRCUS ACT out of OUR health care future is NOT an Option…LET’S OWN IT!
HLB [Hannities, Limbaughs, Becks] & Company [their “BIRTHER” zombies, health insurer LOBBYISTS, and “Break Obama” Congressional PUPPETS] SUCCEEDED in DELAYING your chances for quality, affordable Health Care Reform!
DO NOT let HLB & Company WIPE OUT your chances for quality, affordable Health Care Reform during the CONGRESSIONAL AUGUST RECESS!
You can BE CERTAIN that HLB & Company will pull out all their DIRTY TRICKS [lies, drama, misleading information, ‘isms’ and ‘ists’] to SCARE YOU, Democratic ‘ON THE FENCE’ Lawmakers and Republican CENTRISTS Lawmakers during the Break. They will MANIPULATE THE LIBERAL AND CENTRIST MEDIA and ramp up their “Sky is Falling” MIND GAMES to accomplish their dirty work!
The MONTH OF AUGUST will be YOUR LAST CHANCE to TAKE BACK control of your health care destiny through written and viral INTERNET communication systems, CALLS and LETTERS to your Congressional representatives and Pro Health Care Reform TELEVISED RALLIES IN YOUR STATE.
If YOU DON’T TAKE ACTION, HLB & COMPANY WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
Didn’t you find it WEIRD that IN THE MIDST of trying to find solutions to our nation’s health care woes, CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND THEIR NRA LOBBYIST PALS were WASTING TAXPAYERS’ valuable time and resources trying to push through legislation to allow the TRANSPORT OF GUNS ACROSS STATE LINES!!! To make matters weirder, when they lost the battle, the NRA leadership [in true “TERMINATOR” mode] vowed “WE’LL BE BACK”! What’s up with that, another sequel?
CONSERVATIVE LAMAKERS who give GUNS precedence OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE need to be VOTED OUT OF OFFICE so they can retire, relocate to Alaska, and SHOOT MOOSE out of helicopters!
