Only So Much We Can Do

[WhatCanIsay100]

How come i cant vote on this bill???

This affects me you politicians!!!!

[254tom]

WE DONT need politicians.... We need people with business savvy and common sense. The politicians now don't know what is going on, except their pockets getting lined with YOUR tax dollar

[pbsisson]

I agree!

[wetweasel56]

People, we don't need Politicians. We have been brainwashed for centuries to think we need these leaders to make desicions for us. Not any more. We have the internet to stay informed and we can vote as often as we need to on issues.

So, we get rid of these elected people and put managers in their place that are hired and fired easily if they fail to do what we require of them.

We the people vote on all issues that the managers only think up. Our vote is all that counts in any law making.

Full democracy is very dangerous and allows for the majority to take the rights of the minority. To maintain the American way we must secure the republic. Full democracy would eventually erode everyone's rights. Full democracy is two wolves and a chicken deciding whats for dinner.

[ASentinel2]

HOpe you gave them an earfull !!

(they're still gonna pass the bill, the meetings are just so they can say they met with us, they'll say it was controversial but the majority of us supported them... Which is rediculus...

But we WILL BE HEARD IN NOVEMBER 2010

[magpie4321]

Kick em all out of Office b4 this crud is passed

[memama2]

if this evil Health Care Plan is shoved down our throats - then there will be NO private Health Care plans - because it will ruin that industry. And there will be more and more and more "penaltys" and taxes added till its = GONE. In 2013 anyone switching jobs CANNOT get any private health care from the new company and the company cannot put them on the private plan (Little known FACT Obama wants kept QUIET!) so he can keep = "Lying By Ommision" till the drones he runs; sign on to =his agenda

[cjkallgren]

Note to Barbara Boxer. Look around. See any well dressed people? This is Michigan land of an example of having Democrats in total control. Look what they have done to my state and my district. The people have had enough of you trashing our communities and pretending everyone who disagrees with you is rich. Note: Obama made 4 million dollars last year. Rich democratic snobs.

[cjkallgren]

Obama's healthcare plan gives preferential treatment to healthy individuals between 15-40. Rham Emmanuel's brother designed the bill and is a proponent of rating lives as important or unimportant due to usefulness.

They are using rhetoric to gain sympathy for 'uninsured american's but that is the lily white boat with a barge of garbage waterskiing behind it. Look at the bill people. Do you want grandma to get 'end of life counseling' guaranteed but be denied her meds?

[SuperAmerica1234]

I am glad to see that the people of this country are standing up to this REDICULOUS Health Care Bill that none of these Senators have ACTUALLY READ. Health Care needs reform, but not to be run by the government under a socialist facist where medicine and everything else will be rationed out.

[STEEEVVYZ]

OBAMA is our legitimate president ,,,,ALL YOU PEOPLE CALLING HIM BARRY,,CALLING HIM SOCIALIST, ALL YOU BIRTHERS ARE RACISTS ,,WE KNOW WHATS REALLY BEHIND THIS UGLINESS,!\,RACISM !BUT YOU ARE ALL TO STUPID TO REALIZE IT ,ARE YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION RACISM IS OK?( IT ISINT, WE ARE GOING TO START CALLING YOU OUT,,, ,,, WE ARE GOING TO POINT YOU OUT and your neighbors will all know your ugly secret ,,,AND OUR VOICES WILL BE HEARD,,,,RACISM ISINT PART OF MY AMERICA,,YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK

[mkkms]

NOPE!!!!! If MICHAEL STEELE RUN FOR PRESIDENT I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM IN A HEARTBEAT AND SO WOULD 90% OF AMERICANS SO TAKE YOUR RACE CARD AND STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!

"The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast...Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars. Ralph Waldo Emerson

[im4wur]

Excellent! - Ronald Reagan in 1961 on the issue of medicare:

"Write those letters now. Call your friends and tell them to write them. If you don't, this program I promise you will pass just as the sun will come up tomorrow. And behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country..."

[im4wur]

(cont.) "...until one day we will wake up to find that we have socialism. And if you don't do this, and if I don't do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children what it once was like in America when men were free."

Do you know many people that think Medicare was a bad idea? - Ronald Reagan was wrong then, just as the Congressmen/women and Senators who are shills for the health care industry are wrong now.

[im4wur]

To the board at large, many of you are being duped by representatives that are themselves enjoying the benefits of "government run health care". - Do you hear them complaining?

For your own sake and that of your families', please don't let the health care industry continue to deny you coverage so they can make a profit.

[robert7232]

Dingell is an idiot and should resign. What is he, 85 years old?

[jhowie007]

Look at the economy in Michigan... Why in the world do the people there keep reelecting these left wing radicals?? These people are only there to fill Obama's political agenda. they are not there to represent the people who elected them. This video makes it obvious. the vast majority of this country is against this healthcare plan and it is Obamas intention to push back twice as hard against any resistance. I can't believe this is America.

[Gooodwitch]

Woohoo its a revolution

good job people!

I don't care what side you are on, we need to show them they can't run all over us

[bcraigok]

The left is all about speaking truth to power unless they are in power, then they want everyone who disagrees to shut up.

[JayAreDubya]

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

[RegularGuyify]

For those who believe anybody who opposes Obama is a racist - you are projecting this out of your own biases. What then, are you saying that because Obama is Black, he can not stand up to criticism like a White man?

[pt90048]

There's an elephant in the room - and it's wearing a white, hooded, robe. A bunch of angry white people who are scared to death that the country is changing and don't know how to deal with an America where a black guy can be president. So they shout and shout when it's obvious they know ZERO about healthcare proposals. Give them a pitchfork and some rope - the mob is ready.

[leftwinglunatic70]

Why do you continually inject race into Health care reform? I am happy to have a debate with you on it, since I work in Healthcare. This reform is a disaster th Government can't run itself anymore than it can health care. You want to debate bring it on, but quit injecting race into an issue that has nothing to do with race.

[CAPTJACKAUBREY69]

Go take your race baiting and take a long walk off a short pier. You actually think the government can fund this when programs like medicare, social security, the remainder of the government budget are underfunded? Really shitstains like you that have no defense other than bringing the race issue into an issue that is has nothing to do about are the reason we get politicians like this.

[bcraigok]

People who are intellectually weak and cannot present an argument cry "racism" as a distraction when the healthcare issue has nothing to do with race.

[tadsgirl]

I see the kids have rolled out of bed, had their Coco Puffs and made it to the computer in Mom's basement...

[woj1s]

God Bless America!!! The only industrialized nation in the world where you have to check your bank account before you go see a doctor when your sick!! USA USA

[frigoria]

My money my my my my your cancer son can't take MY MY MY money your diabetic grandma can't take my mine my precious money

You are a soulless bastard and hypocrite Christian wannabe

[frigoria]

What a bunch of privileged old people on Medicare harassing cancer patients. You all are just bullies and cowards

[incpen]

Whose money is it?

[tismo70]

I see the video of these neanderthals screaming down a disabled little person has been left out. I guess that was even too ugly for the ugly hordes.

[sstrudell]

I was there. No one shouted her down. Go google Code Pink to see how your side handles "Civil discourse".

[tismo70]

It's been noted in every news report I've seen about the event.

3...2...1... until the wingnut mantra about liberal media.

And I could give a shit about Code Pink. Ignorant redneck assholes tend to get my blood up, though.

[BigDaddy1968]

STFU! Those conservatives have a good point. Too bad you LIBERAL PUSSIES rae running skrd.

You know you ALREADY lost this battle don't you...and with it down the drain goes the native-born Kenyan (haha) and his ENTIRE administration.

Whoooooooooooooooo!!!

Big Daddy

Sheesh...That ws easy!

[Hdtexan]

Suck my Big Gay Cock Big Daddy....You've been pawned by big insurence companies...Now get sick and die.

[tismo70]

I love how your fellow freaks scream about being denied their first amendment rights while telling the folks they disagree with to STFU.

Please keep up the good work of showing reasonable people the majority of folks in this country, both lib and con what kind of crazed sociopaths you are. You're making our job so much easier.

[tadsgirl]

Why don't you post it?

[weisfan]

HA HA this was held in the hospital i was born in,f**k this government trying to line their pockets and ruin health care.Dingell can eat shit.glad my hometown stepped up to this Benedict Arnold.kick these socialist turds over to Russia.

[panman28]

John Dingell doesn't know whether it's working in Massachusetts or not! The state budget deficit of Massachusetts is now $1.3 billion! John you should be ashamed. You'll create a larger deficit and then enact a new law regarding that deficit. You're DIRT!

[jkm1864]

JoeMyGod .... The only Racist I see here is YOU... Did it ever occur to Your little pea brain that some of these people might work harder than You? Oh but no of coarse not because I am the center of the galaxy and everyone must cater to my needs.... I think You need to grow up and while You are at it grow a set of nuts. If You can't get ahead don't blame these people BLAME yourself. I got over that kick years ago and one day I realized I was my worst enemy and that was the best day of my life.

[jkm1864]

Hey politics fan if You actually knew a tenth of what I know You wouldn't even spit on these pukes if they were on fire. These evil bastards are passing laws at lightning speed that will take away Your freedoms in favor of their corporate buddies. Hey do You like planting a garden? Well guess what now You can't but I guess You didn't get that memo didn't You? Now they want to control healthcare. Do You like taking vitamins? Well no more for You!!!

[JoeMyGod]

Typical right-wing racists who HAVE THEIRS and are happy to let the less fortunate rot.

[tadsgirl]

You mean those of us who WORKED for OURS? And give that 10% to charity?

[msheidi1]

all our congress people are LYING to us!

[JoeMyGod]

I can only presume you mean that people who don't work or can't work should just die.

[incpen]

I see lots of people who don't work.

Not so many who can't.

You don't have a right to TAKE my money without my consent.

[tadsgirl]

Why would you presume? I give my 10% for those who do not have.

How about you?

[politicsfan]

Oh, so many excuses for disgusting and self-indulgent displays of rudeness! If a participant disagrees with the congressman, then say so in civil terms. This is not the way to behave. Don't be surprised when there is a major backlash to this sort of thing, including the over the top characterizations of the president.

[Lisa78780]

Wow the constituents seem to know more than the congressman! Time for him to be voted OUT.

[Pellllllllllllllllll]

politicsfan: If you listen to what they are responding to you might not feel so neutral, or at least understand why they are so angry. It's this issue plus several others. I think the confidence in the govt is very low, nationally, and it shows here perfectly. I don't blame them, and support them in their efforts to shove this right back where it came from. They also show little restraint, as they ejected that person for simply standing up and waving/ranting.

[alphadog7]

Politicsfan, are you kidding? And the politicians are innocent parties in this display of disgust? The people are giving a response to the load of crap they are being fed. Do you treat liars with respect?

[TheCentrist1]

An American with Cerebral Palsy was escorted out of the the town hall by police. What america are people referring to or living in. The WH and its bowling fiasco and now Congress with escorting a CP American out by police.

[BrownshirtKILLER]

They took her out because you belligerent thugs were harassing old ladies and the disabled when they tried asking legitimate questions from their representative. We all seen you smashing into people and terrorizing fellow citizen and elected officials. Calling in your death threats.

Walks and Talks like a Terrorist = Terrorist

Corporate BROWNSHIRTS (CarpetBaggers BirthBaggers, all the same).... who would have thunk it? Thankfully, the rest of America is not this stupid.

[politicsfan]

If this sort of thing happened in my area, it would lead to an immediate backlash against the people who behaved so rudely. What ever happened to reasoned discourse? Didn't these people learn any manners? Those calling "shame" should themselves be ashamed for how they acted and how they interfered with the rights of their fellow citizens.

[incpen]

I thought that protest was the right of all Americans.

Isn't that what the left has been saying for the last 50 years?

[dalangdon]

Well, it helps if you actually have any idea of what it is you're protesting. And if being punk'd by corporations is your idea of being a patriot, knock yourself out. When you're done, I've got some swampland in Arizona, I'd be willing to sell you.

[bryanthompson1]

if you have a protest, you should at least listen to what the other side is saying. these idiots aren't doing it and are just disrupting the town hall for those who actually want a dialog.  They are disrupting the town hall because they have no real argument.
