Every time a new Democrat becomes party leader in the senate, the left pushes him to advance unpopular measures that make him unelectable back home. 2004 Daschle was defeated. 2010 Harry Reid will be defeated. 2014 Durbin likely gets sent home, too.
"Public option" will only sabotage the successful private system that the overwhelming majority of Americans want. That's why America is wisely rejecting the "public option" and will vote out those who proposed such a dishonest scheme.
The political ad that they feature in this segment is featuring an actress as a nurse. Very authentic. Just go to the Nevada state board of nursing's web-site and search for Lee Slaughter. Doesn't exist.
The Mass Media have been jackbooted getting their marching orders from the White House and have a black out of the truth. ObaMao has committed 40k new troops to the War on Fox News but its the peoples 1st amendment that suffers. His Net Neutrality will cut off free speech on the net. Even Helen Thomas says ObaMaos worse than Nixon. ObaMaoCare will make you sicker than swine flue and cost each or us more than 4K a year. Chains you can believe in.
Hey geniuses, did it ever cross your mind that "Lee" might be her nickname or middle name? My friend goes by "Lee" but her full first name is "Marilee". The governor of my state is "M. Jodi Rell" but she calls herself "Jodi".
Once they(the Pelosie ried gang) crash the dollar only the elite liberals will have any wealth and you don't think that they are going to redistribute thiers do ya?
They won't approve my video response, but it is on my page. The entire video is a fraud, 'Lee Slaughter' isn't even a real nurse. Liberals, fucking morons.
Private Insurance CEO's need to be prosecuted like Madoff for running a racket and crimes against humanity and ripping off the American public with their bullcrap plans they produce.

So that woman in the ad wants to enslave future Americans because of the bad choices that she has made in her life.That sounds so typical liberal.Fire Ried and Pelosie and Frank if your not a selfish liberal victim and know right from wrong.
So the republicans want to enslave future Americans because of their bad choice known as trickle down economics that dont trickle down to hard working Americans. That sounds so typical neocon. Fire McConnell and Boehner and Cantor if your not a selfish Ayn Rand Loving NeoCon idiot and know right from wrong.
Aren't you forgetting the fact the federal goverment has already enslaved us (and our children) to a $14 trillion dollar debt to bail out banks?
Seriously, how are you going to pay for any "public option" when we can't even pay the debt we have now? Is this plan to benefit this generation worth enslaving future Americans to a debt they can't afford to pay?
The Government has admitted to finding $500,000,000,000 in WASTE in the current Medicare system. What on Earth makes you clowns think that SUDDENLY they are going to do an efficient job of running health care? You actually believe that you are going to get more for less from Bureaucrats?
Once again, the saying, "I'm surrounded by Idiots", keeps coming to mind.
The Government competing against the private sector doesn't qualify as competition you fools. If the Gov't runs out of money, they can come a knocking on my door and demand more of my money at the threat of tossing me in jail if I don't pay (oh, and they can do that to you, too). Can Blue Cross do that? Let the private companies compete across state lines if, in fact, competition is what you want. But, I dont think it is. I think you just want the Government to be your own personal Wet Nurse.
Do you really like Private Insurance with their 500 dollar deductibles, $2500 limits and $100,000 lifetime caps and where you pay 20% they pay 80% if approved. Your $1500.00 hospital deductable, their 100 pages of fine print to deny you. No ambulance unless they deem it was an emergency, not you?
The Health Insurance Industry is spending more than $1.5 MILLION a day to defeat the public option. WE will be the goats paying for the Industry defending itself and ensuring higher profits for themselves if the public option fails. Let's win; let the insurance industry treat us fairly.

Ed and Joe do nothing but twist the truth.
The Majority of Americans DO NOT support a Govt take over of OUR health care. If real CHANGE is to be preformed, look into allowing insurance companies to cross State lines, limit Tort claims and STOP illegals from crossing our boarders!! Go after the BAD actors in the Insurance industry, reform the way they are able to limit health care for all AMERICANS!!
And although support has dropped ten points since June, 62 percent favored it in an early October CBS News Poll, while just half as many, 31 percent, opposed it. GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN LIKE MEDICARE
Now 9/2009 8/2009 7/2009 6/2009
Favor 62% 65% 60% 66% 72%
Oppose 31% 26% 34% 27% 20%
Recent polls conducted by other media and polling organizations also find a majority in support of a public option.
More than three out of every four Americans feel it is important to have a "choice" between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage, according to a public opinion poll released on Thursday.
A new study by SurveyUSA puts support for a public option at a robust 77 percent, one percentage point higher than where it stood in June.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and wins clear majority support from the public.
Without a public option - insurance companies will further screw their customers. The BAD actors in the insurance industry are EVERYONE in the industry! To them, it's not about my health or your health or to provide a good service: it's about profit. Period.
I'm utterly frustrated by liberals having the first majority in a zillion years, and then failing to do what's best for people either because they're SPINELESS in standing up against thug Republicans, or they're CORRUPT and their allegiance is to corporate lobbyists. Baucus claims he wants bipartisan support but cuts anything that doesn't directly throw money TO the Health Insurance giants in order to get NO SUPPORT at all.
Every time a new Democrat becomes party leader in the senate, the left pushes him to advance unpopular measures that make him unelectable back home. 2004 Daschle was defeated. 2010 Harry Reid will be defeated. 2014 Durbin likely gets sent home, too.
