BoldProgressives.org - Adam Green talks health care town halls on MSNBC

[wifflum]

Awesome job at the end. Total pwnage of the debate Adam.

They should not be busing people in to town meetings. Town meetings are for local people. That's interfering with democracy.

[iamavet]

Busing people in? Like when Democrat bused in Acorn to attack AIG people so the Dems could push thru the Stimulus give away?

You want to discuss health care than bring pre-printed health care plan facts not BO talking points.

Don't cut Medicare== cut Mediaid. Open free clinics and pay new Doctors and Nurses education cost for free service.

"Scuze me, sweetcheeks, but where is AIG now?... Thank you very much.

And excuse me again "vet": But I am a veteran too, and my health care is primo; Best the US can afford. How's your's, tax paid health care beneficiary?

Yeah, that's what I thought." Your health care is puss. And so are you.

Are you afraid to voice your disagreement with White House policy, join a rally, use bumper stickers, wear a politically charged t-shirt, for fear of reprisal by government, police, IRS, FBI, Homeland Security, etc?" I think the answer is more often YES. Our/ Your government is using FEAR tactics to quiet those that disagree. The White House dissenters are called, racist, fear monger, anti-government, conspiracy nuts, left wing, right wing, Nazis, etc.) America has certainly changed!

There are proper and legal ways to raise your concerns and consent. But busing people in to town rally's and trying to shut a town hall rally's meant for constituents would get you frustrated too.

[fjchandler]

I agree with your first sentence whole heartedly. However, the second sentence is politcal spin both left and right. Simple solution? Amercian voters. Put it to the people, not congressman. Brings up the question of, "why not let the people vote on health care?".

[slicbro]

I think thats what they should start doing. Let people, instead of politicians vote on bills. But i have a feeling corporations and lobbyists would never allow that to happen. Cant blame them. They would probably spend more money lobbying against that measure than they currently are not doing against health care.

[fjchandler]

Excellent point! We cannot vote on important issues, such as health care. We cannot dissent with white house policy. These is not a blue or red issues, they are issues of all Americans. They have the people fighting each other, instead of dealing with the real issues. Its a 5000 year old ancient battle strategy, used by politicians. Polarize your enemies. Americans a trusting, honest, giving people as a culture, as most simply dont realize how they are manipulated.

[slicbro]

The American public is being manipulated by two lobby drenched parties.

[fjchandler]

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE, NOT CONGRESS! Why are we the citizens, letting Congress vote on the health care bill? This is not a democrat or republican issue. You are being strategically polarized to fight each other. Why wont the White House let the people vote the issue? The answer is simple, its control. Do we have the back bone as Americans, to stand up and be counted?

[slicbro]

If white house put this up for vote to the american people, it would pass unanimously.

[fjchandler]

You are saying that if the whtie house let the PEOPLE vote? Somehow, I don't think it would pass unamimously in my opinion. I do agree it's a foregone conclusion it wil pass by congress.

[slicbro]

Friend, the left and the right may make the most noise. But it's the center that ultimately has political sway. The majority of Americans dont belong to any particular party. They just vote for the people they believe in. The majority of Americans are sane and know what they want from their politicians. Every American that has no insurance, or are seeing co-payments and deductibles going up every year will vote for a public option bill.

You mean like smearing animal blood on you, dressign up like COndi Rice, wearing pink and screaming at congressman or blocking the entrance to recruiting centers? - please, spare me the feigned fucking outrage.
