Cornyn: Dems Would Create 'Health Care Gulag'

[MeLikeGoFast]

For anyone who doesnt believe this just take a look at the VA system.

Its basically what the democrats want, but on a national scale, and its a total disaster.

[Supernova310]

Im happy they're not listening to Republicans.... Gulag?!? Nice one using a communist jail to describe the shit you're spitting....They should continue to take care of everything and disregard ALL of these dumb fucks holding back progress

[mikebee02]

Damn. I wanted to hear Durbin's response.

[CommonSenseJoe]

There is no healthcare reform. It is and always was a healthcare TAKEOVER.

[JerezJulio]

When will it be Ok to start calling these people the Wig Party?

[USB06]

Who give a shit if he got a paycheck from lobbyist, last time I checked, both parties are bought and paid for by lobbyist. The system is CORRUPT.

There should be public funds available to all politicians if they decided to use it for political campaign. Or simply pay their salary at least $1 million ( prevent corruption)

[nacisa]

How about voting for the candidate with the least campaign spending? Just vote for the "least bought" no matter which party.

[172677]

Well you should care. You'll notice the only ones rabidly against healthcare reform are those whose pockets have been lined by insurance lobby money.

It's easy to find on the internet.....lots of websites. They are required to disclose who their contributors are.

This nutwing isn't the only Republicans who are getting fat of that money...and are serving the needs of the insurance companies instead of we, the people.

If you're not mad, something is wrong with you.

[SamariaTV]

No tax payer paid health care for congress and senate until the people are covered.

[172677]

Ya gotta love those "C" street thugs.....and their "secret christian society" of wingnuts who serve, not the people, but themselves.

He's accepted almost 5 MILLION dollars from the insurance lobby.

Who's side do you think he's on????

Not yours and mine, for sure.

[sjcpal]

Ahh someone has been paying attention ...good job

[172677]

Being a reasonably intelligent woman, I fact-check everything that comes from inside the Beltway....

And, these pols have to disclose where their contributions come from.

Anyone with half a brain could find out of themselves...but most don't. They just believe what Fox tells them to or what some religious zealot politician tells them.

[allgoo19]

172677: "Being a reasonably intelligent woman..."

Well said.

[greyflcn]

In short,

Complaints about taxes on small business, when small businesses are exempt, and even get additional tax breaks.

Complaints about cuts to Medicare Part D. Which is a private system Republicans built 4 years ago. Which costs on average 30% more than normal medicare. The "Cuts" are merely giving it a level playing field with normal medicare.

And of course DEATH PANELS!

[chrism20]

who's cares what the GOP thinks, GOP = dead party

[darkally]

a 'health care gulag' is worse than no heath care and just dying on the street?

[DillonX]

Cornyn is owned by the Lobbyists.

I'm in Texas & will support any Republican or Democrat who runs against him.

[Francebrasil]

Fox news. Fear mongering for an uneducated and bigoted audience.

[asphyxiafeeling]

Rather have the Government healthcare "gulag" then no healthcare. I lost mine because it got too expensive.

Enough fear mongering, GOP.

[j0hnwi11iams]

If you idiots had any useful ideas that didn't include sending more money to the wealthy perhaps you would have a little more credibility.

[MisterMysterious]

We have to keep voting out the crooks in Congress and welcome those who actually give a fuck to the American people. We have to be more smarter about who we are electing. If you see a candidates getting bloated campaign funds from major parties and corporations, then you would know something is wrong here.

Only avoiding these con-artists and

support the little guys would we get something really done.

[SanieClaws]

What gripes do you people have with the content of the speakers comment?

He's speaking the truth, and if you thought critically for a second about the incentives of the healthcare bill, you'd realize that, too.

[MisterMysterious]

Oh look at that! Echoing false baseless claims because your corporate masters tell you to do!

That's all you teabaggers ever do. If you love giving your hard-earned money to corporate health insurers, then keep at it! And don't cry to everyone once those people rise your premiums even further or hang you/your family out to dry.

[MisterMysterious]

This guy gets one of the biggest paychecks from health lobbyists and insurers in Congress. He's Republican, and he's from Texas- the two go together so well.

So yeah, keep taking it up the ass with for this moron. Enjoy dreaming that nothing is wrong with America... except for ALL those KA-RAZY LEFTISTS, of course! It's people like you inbred shitstains that helped all of us get into this mess.

[HulksHeroes]

Unlimited, unchallenged time on the propaganda network. Shameful!!

Goerbel would be proud!

It's ALL they have....fear, fear...your grandma's going to be put to death nonsense.

[jensen1901]

Fear fear fear fear fear!!!! That's all the GOP has. There is rationing and death panels right now. For profit. By the insurance companies.

[alphadawg44]

If you get thrown in prison for not having health care, do you get health care in prison?

[frostwolf1]

Do GOP leaders ever have a position that ISN'T based on fear and doom-saying?

[PersonalJesus348]

no...

[marniespeaks]

the GOP needs to give up all their taxpayer government health care

[milkgodnl]

the only choice over 40 million Americans have at present is the emergency room.

.. THAT is rationing ..

.. At least these 40 million people will have an added choice of a Federally-run plan ..

[rickamabob13]

Republican view on taxes:

Raising taxes for HealthCare, BAD!

Raising taxes to wage illegal war, GOOD!

[Philinspaces]

Shit for brains.

[Trollmaster21]

Single payer health care is far to the left of anything being proposed and single payer nations are nothing like the old USSR.

Which means there's a hole in Cornyn's logic big enough to fly a fleet of jumbo jets through.

Cornyn has no valid reason to be in any leadership position with rhetoric like this.

[junkforkaryn]

gulag? really? what in the healthcare bill would lead this boob to think of forced labor camps or penal colonies for political prisoners? did i miss the amendment that would create russian sub-arctic detention camps? this thing must have really deteriorated since i last checked in.

[MexicanMetlAC]

Sometimes it's hard to believe some of the stupid shit that comes out of these people's mouths. If they have a legitimate concern then by all means bring it up but to say things like this just make you sound like a nutjob. Excuse me sir....When exactly did you become a nutbar?

[Richardgwm]

The Republican party is completely out of touch with the American people.

The Republican party has committed suicide.

[p00lman]

"We don't want government health care! It will take funding out of medicare, which couldn't possibly be a government-run health care program, right?"

[cokmobot]

Way to demonstrate that you don't know what a gulag is!

[micahgee]

What a fucking clown.

45,000 Americans die because of this broken system and the GOP has to invent reasons NOT to fix it.

10 x 9/11's every year. Because its poor people, and therefore hard to politicize, it gets less attention.

These GOP assholes should seriously go take a long walk of a short pier, they are regressive, corrupt, Neanderthals who seem to only spew talking points and then collect paychecks from their corporate masters.

[megarational]

Exactly!

[Trollmaster21]

America would be a far greater nation if America waged a form of democratic genocide on the GOP and voted that party out of existence.

[bigc028282]

No worries, between the two lobbyist written bills, they will figure out a way to f*ck the majority of us; as always.

[KataVideo]

bigc028282, you fool.. don't you realize the lobbyists are hiding in area 51 with Obama's gift certificate and the magic bullet?

or.. have.. they.. gotten.. to.. YOU?

[wervasdeferens]

If Obama's gift certificate is to Best Buy,can you blame the lobbyist?
