Interview - Town Hall Protest at Office of Congressman Harry Mitchell - August 8, 2009

[albaa5az]

How to spot a progressive making a post...look for bad language, name calling proceeded by inconsequential ranting and raving. lol

[catch22af]

Let's say your daughter got pregnant and got a complication where her life and health is threatened by child birth I guess she's gonna to die

[catch22af]

Lol welcome to YouTube douche my point stands u and these protestors are retards

[catch22af]

The amount of cognitive dissonance amongst these retards is amazing ..here's Ms. "i'm a medicare recipient, I can assure you it's just fine" and then there's that bitch on the video saying "they've proven time and time again they can't run programs" which is it retards..they can or they can't? and o yeah..I'm a veteran too so fuck off..your military service isn't a proof that your cause is right dickface

You probably would be taken more seriously if you had a better grasp of the language.

Profanity only proves you have no verbal skills in order to get your point across and have to rely on perjoratives..which is pretty much what 6th graders do.

So, until you grow up and learn how to converse civilly, I'll not respond to you further.

[172677]

So, they can't run programs, eh?

Well, 51 million seniors on Medicare, 9.1 million Veteran's who get health benefits and every Federal employee including the Congress and the President will disagree.....

These people are so uninformed it's pitiful. But then, only 1 American in 10 read a daily newspaper, only 4 in 10 read a book a year, our highschool dropout rate is outrageous.

We are a nation where 25-30% of citizens are dumb as a box of rocks.......

[brettrix]

medicare is bankrupt - the VA system is pretty bad - and that is from my point of view as a veteran. i wonder if 172677 ever served our country or does he just puppet what the Chairman says?

[172677]

Firstly, I'm a "she".

Yes, I proudly served my country as a Marine... I was born into a long line of Marines and Army.

As a medicare recipient, I can assure you it's just fine. And, it's not broke or in danger of going broke. It needs to be tweaked some - lifting the ceiling on SS payroll contributions would fix it...and that will happen.

The VA successfully treated 2 brothers home from Vietnam and a father home from WWII....and continue to serve 2 nephews and a niece - 1 in Iraq.

[catch22af]

Great medicare is fine which is a government run program then you shouldn't worry that the government would be able to handle healthcare, right?

[ltrman61]

I'm a federal employee and I agree the gov't can't run much of anything..including the post office...projected to lose up to 10 BILLION this year alone! The uninformed are the idiots such as yourself who only think they are the smartest in the room! I would put you in the 25-30%

[172677]

So, you as a Federal employee already have government run healthcare.....so what's your gripe. Are you unhappy with it?

And, the U.S. Postal Service is not a "government agency"....Google it.

Got news for ya on the intelligent level; my chihuahua is smarter than those morons disrupting the democratic process at town meetings.......

[ltrman61]

Are you really that stupid?I work for the P.O.I don't need to Google anything. I DO NOT have government run health care! I have PRIVATE health care that I pay for! Out of my own pocket! Not one penny of taxpayer money pays my wage or health care costs! The P.O. is not a gov't agency?That is breaking news to all those who work for the P.O.! Is it a private company then O smart one? Congress does not have Gov't run health care either!They have PRIVATE health care paid for by YOU, the taxpayer.

[172677]

Obviously, you don't know who you world for:

The Postal Reorganization Act signed by President Richard Nixon on August 12, 1970, replaced the cabinet-level Post Office Department with the independent United States Postal Service. The Act took effect on July 1, 1971.

As for Congress,etc., health care is a perk for them just as yours is a perk for you...and they have co-pay, too. And, they have range of options, including a public one...just like we'll have.

[ltrman61]

My God, are you really that stupid? Can you not comprehend what you read? The Postal reorganization act simply gave workers the right to organize as a Union through arbitration rather than have a congressional board set wages. It also made the P.O. generate its income like a Private business and not through taxes. IT IS RUN BY GOVERNMENT! Ever hear of the POSTMASTER GENERAL? My health care is no more a perk than anyone else who works for a private company. I PAY MY OWN FOOL! Unbelievable!

[ltrman61]

The P.O. generates its revenue like a private business! The Problem is it is RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT! A local P.O can't do ANYTHING without approval from some Gov't official up the food chain! Just what you can expect from your Gov't run health care!And yes..it is a Gov't agency! Go read your Constitution...for the 1st time!

[172677]

Wrong!

The Postal Reorganization Act signed by President Richard Nixon on August 12, 1970, replaced the cabinet-level Post Office Department with the independent United States Postal Service. The Act took effect on July 1, 1971.

[ltrman61]

Congress has NO PUBLIC OPTION! It is PRIVATE. Tell me the name of their public option. " I don't know who I work for" Damn, I get all those Federal Holidays as a private employee. The P.O is not an independent business from government. Ever watch cspan? Wow, there was the Postmaster general testifying before members of Congress to try to get permission to go to a five day work week! Why would he have to do that? Your ignorance is embarrassing. Educate yourself. My God you are stupid!

[ltrman61]

Here is some help to educate yourself on your GOVERNMENT RUN USPS..web site (Senate committee on Homeland Security & GOVERNMENTAL Affairs) Look under issues..well, what do you know...Postal Service..DUH! I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you are the only person with a brain(or not) who does NOT know the USPS is a GOVERNMENT run branch of the US Government.

[mrblujet]

If they weren't at those meetings, it wouldn't be a democratic process.

[Humanleague002]

She say's she wants daughter to have a healthy future and one that wont leave her no options. It sounds like she supports Obama and doesn't even know it.

[thepink1957]

huh? did you actually listen to her?
