Baucus Flees

[aca319ca]

one thing to fix this.....term limits. this will make it more difficult for these cowards to get in bed with and develop relationships with lobbyists.

Max Baucus = Corrupt Senator. Kick him out.

Obama promised repeatedly that ALL negotiations for a healthcare plan would be broadcast on C-SPAN, but like so many of his promises, it was all a LIE. (Nancy Pelosi and her cronies even laughed at a reporter's suggestion that they should stick to Obama's campaign promises). From the "Cash for Cloture" deals in the Senate, to these backroom deals in the House, the liberal leadership has been exposed for its duplicity.

P.S. The House of Representatives is slated to return on January 12, 2010, and the US Senate on January 19, 2010. Even before that, though, leaders in the House and Senate are planning closed-door backroom meetings to negotiate all of their "deals" to try and get this thing passed.

Single payer is a bad joke! Government option is bad for the people!

12/7/09: On Monday at a White House briefing, any suggestion of ties of Sen. Max Baucus' affair with his live-in girlfriend Melodee Hanes to the White House, where Sen. Max Baucus' former staffer Jim Messina serves as Deputy Chief of Staff, were rejected by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. He said nobody there knew of the affair (between Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, who wasn't divorced from his second wife, and his girlfriend Melodee Hanes...

We're all screwed. As long as the House and Senate...and Congress are full of these corrupt piles of dung, we are all screwed!

[Speaksup]

Baucus did the same thing with federal Indian policy - he took lots of money from tribal governments and casinos, and then held hearings and invited only tribal government and their supporters. He wouldn't let any of the regular tribal members or those that opposed what tribal government said be heard.

Max Baucus you piece of shit. How dare you sell Montana out !! He is the most corrupt!!! we pay this ass hole to run our state?? OMG what the hell was wrong with Montanans who voted this corrupt piece of shit!!

[pig5689]

Piece a' shit, Baucus! Get Baucus and any other person in congress who whoreslut for the greedy, slutting, shitting insurance EXECUTIVES in prison! They need to be arrested & tossed out of congress & this country before they contaminate the entire world! They SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! How degrading & sad - Baucus & the other GOP senate have given in to evil & shamelessly continue to whoreslut for INSURANCE EXECUTIVES! WAKE UP, SHITBAGGER REPUBLICANS! ARREST THEM NOW!

[ronnie12398]

Baucus is a Democrat, you dumb fuck.

[pig5689]

Hey "rummy12398" -

Shut your head, you nut! Can't you read? Or are you drunk or just stupid? I know Baucus is a Dem! I never said he wasn't! So what? His plan was insane & sickening! The point I was making (obviously not for you apparently, but for everyone else who passed third-grade reading comprehension) is Baucus moved right over with the rest of the GOP to shamelessly suck for & feed the lust of the greedy insurance executives! And don't ever use the "F" word again in a reply to a comment!

[ronnie12398]

Yo pigshit666, the Democrats control the House and Senate so if Baucus plan were to ever pass it would be the fault of your precious Demonrat Party and The Magical Negro president... You are too stupid to even tolerate.

[tejano2828]

douchbag is putting his special interest groups before his constituents this is BULLSHIT. Yah Montana your getting royally screwed just like the rest of the country by these dam politicians, GIVE HIM HELL MONTANA!!!!

[Textynn]

Good work guys. This is a civil rights movement. This is a class/caste war. Segregation of health care is illegal.

[Svenrocks]

Max Bachuas is a f^&%*& coward!! He'll probably try to get a consulting/lobbyist position from the same interests who finance his campaign.

[Textynn]

He won't be a senator too much longer that is obvious. He should be in jail.

[Susieshepherd]

To the people who made this video....THANK YOU!!!

[prisonerofalliance]

It's a real problem with the system when one man from a tiny population state can wield so much power.

[phillipmarch22]

Bacus has not only backed off of single payer, that fucker is trying to back off of the public option plan. He and others are putting their love of lobbyists money ahead of the American people. We have to unite and fight!

[bpartoens]

Baucus's job is to protect the profits of the corportations that donate large sums of money to most of our elected officials. Pharma corporations are public traded companies that do not make money by curing people but having patients take their products to maintain a certain level of health. Both segments "donate" large sums of money to the puppet politicians in DC.

They are not working to protect the interest of the average American. Corporations run our government and dictate policy.FASCISM!

[halg2]

This whole scenario would have been avoided if the American public had had the opportunity to vote Greens into Congress. The Green Party has always been a FIRM stand for single-payer health care from its inception. Unfortunately, the same political parties that stand in the way of this progressive reform also stand in the way of smaller parties participating in the political process.

[patralink]

This is the biggest scam in recent history! Insurance companies, HMos and big pharma writing our national health care policy! It's an outrage and people should be in the streets. Shut down all business, go on a national strike no more work until we get a real hearing on single payer.

[bpartoens]

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Obama is secluding himself behind a fortress of denial (or mountains of ill gotten dollars like Baucus), if he thinks US health insurance companies are the answer to comprehensive health care for all Americans.

Health insurance companies are like the mob of the health care industry. They aren't needed. They weazled thier way into the system years ago, paying of our elected officials off ,trying to create a system that Amercians think they need.

Next time, send lawyers with subpoenas ordering him to appear on charges of misfeasance, malfeasance and bribery.

We need to take the profit motive out of providing health care and eliminate the gatekeepers that stand between patients and doctors. What kind of lobbying could influence a scumbag like Sen Baucus? I like how SPA is taking more direct action to raise public awareness and disrupt the status quo. We need this kind of action on the top 20 issues facing the nation to win the systemic change we need.

[kohen2007]

Senator Baucus, you should forfeit your platinum health insurance policy that we pay for. Then you'll need to go out into the real world and apply online for a new policy from any of the big health insurance cartel members. Just to be fair Senator, don't tell them your a senator, you wouldn't want to get preferential treatment now would you. Enter your family's complete medical history but be careful and meticulous 'cause this can bite you later! Wait about 24 hrs.

Welcome to our world, Senator!

[CuriouserNCuriouser]

Thanks for keeping pressure on Baucus. I saw the vid of him laughing about needing more police to deal with single-payer protesters... Baucus is not suitable as a Senator, and needs to be replaced.
