Obama Townhall

[Newman]

The audacity of the left on this bill is amazing. Citizens are finally reading this bill, or reading interpretations of the bill, and getting angry. They are angry for what the bill is trying to do, but I think they are enraged by the fact that democrats deny what the bill actually says.

I think the Silent Majority is tired of being called stupid, among other things, by the Washington elitists....I wouldn't want to be running for re-election anytime soon.....Democrat or Republican....

In addition, you have Democrats calling us racist for using the word "socialist".

You have Obama stacking town halls to avoid unpleasant questions.

Democrats accuse the right of starting false rumors, when all we're doing is trying to understand and state what is in their legislation.

That was quite helpful, don't you think? Much as I agree with you on issues, you're a jerk. So you alienate potential allies, apparently because you are just looking for a fight. Makes NO sense whatsoever to me.

Good little self obsessed Susanna clone. Good boy!

You know, I'm talking in PMs with you rather than hashing it out in public, and this crap continued?

Your entry into this thread was "Talk about brainwashed..." to BR. Consider what qix told you. That's what I think of you too.

Yep, he trolls and insults me, I respond and I'm the one looking for a fight.

You initiated contact with him in this thread, not him. Your contact consisted of "Talk about brainwashed...." which does not address his arguments at all. It is trolling if anything is.

Since this occurred after your reporting BR as a troll. You and your intellectual superiority complex and your martyr delusion can take a few days off. If you still have a problem with this site, the members of this site or me afterward, don't come back. You're concerned about trolling and flaming -- stop contributing to it. Clear?

Hey, maybe I'll throw my hat in the ring :) Looks like just about any idiot can get elected to the house of reps....

Nah, too many closets in my skeleton...

Specter had this to say yesterday:

WASHINGTON - A veteran U.S. senator said Wednesday he thinks people who have been angrily disrupting public meetings on overhauling the health care system are "not necessarily representative of America," but should be heard.

"It's more than health care," said Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, 79, who earlier this year left the Republican Party and became a Democrat. "I think there is a mood in America of anger with so many people unemployed, with so much bickering in Washington ... with the fear of losing their health care. It all boils over."

Not representative of America? What the hell does Specter know about representation? He's the last guy who should have a voice in this debacle.

SHHH! Don't talk... a bone might fly out of your mouth. :P

If I were a politician, it wouldn't be a bone, it would be a pile of bull**** :)

Specter is representative of himself only, a sorry excuse of a U.S. Senator.

Specter and the rest of the Democrats need to remove their heads from their respective seat cushions.

Nearly half of those surveyed -- 49% -- said they disapproved of Obama's "handling of healthcare policy." And 43% told Gallup's interviewers that they approved.

Here's the story from Gallup:
Amid Debate, Obama Approval Rating on Healthcare Steady

When the question was couched differently, there's still a large disapproval of the current bill.
Constituents Divided, Highly Partisan on Healthcare Reform

Rassmussen numbers are a bit stronger, even if the questions are somewhat different. A clear majority (57%) disapprove of a single payer system (which HR 3200 will lead to):
32% Favor Single-Payer Health Care, 57% Oppose - Rasmussen Reports

Rassmussen says that people fear the government more than health insurance companies, too:
On Health Care, 51% Fear Government More Than Insurance Companies - Rasmussen Reports


So, Mr. Specter is proving to be part of the problem with Congress in that they are the ones lying and misleading people about the town hall meetings and about the legislation.

Obama just said AARP "would not be endorsing a plan that would reduce Medicare benefits". So I guess AARP IS endorsing ObamaCare.

Obama also said he thinks they should do away with Medicare Advantage Plan, in the same breath he said he will not reduce Medicare benefits.

Obama also said "lies, lies, and more lies".

.

I personally am not surprised, knowing that AARP has extremely liberal tendencies.

Know what i find so typical. Kids didn't want to use the dictionary when there was no internet.....too tedious...NOW all they gotta do is type in a word in the computer and within a second or two they have the proper spelling AND A DEFINITION. and that's too tedious.

I find it a little silly that you would correct my spelling with a post full of grammatical errors.

"that be incense."

Really? Are you a pirate?

Don't worry, Caroline seems to always enjoy bashing anyone else while making mistakes of her own.
