  • me!!! i want to vot out all democrats!

  • "Waitress Sandwich" anyone?

    Google it.

  • Keep up the good work CT! The heat is on for Dodd, Courtney, Murphy etc....

    It is time for all Americans (republicans, democrats and independents) to take a stand...stand up for your FREEDOM!!

  • Wow! The guy in the red cap is SO skilled in debate!

  • The guys name is Jim Bancroft to be exact. This clip actually made it on on National T.V. so kudos, Jim. The person who should be voted out is Jodi Rell.

  • All congressmen and senators are crooks.

    One term and they have their special health insurance for life and receive retirement for life. Does anyone think this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind????

    God help us. Greed will be the downfall of America.

    Just look at how many politicians never held a real job. "We the People" need to vote all of them out of office. If we do not take our country back, it will fail.

  • Keep squealing, piggies.

  • wow bro your a vet and your thinking like that..look where do all our insurance workers go...we dont have enough family doctors.. and the va...we just had a horror story..not to long ago ...look i say take care of the vets but how in gods name do we insure ..300 million people..yes have we uninsured..but we just cant force this on people...

  • Glad you said it, I'm not a vet, but I saw this awhile back, and agree that Vets were treated like poorly, and now this bill would extend that to everyone...

  • Socialized health care would be good.

    Our government should provide free health care, free housing, free food, free transportation, free clothes, how about some free spending money too. What the hell are you liberal idiots thinking???

    Tell me, where is all this free money coming from????

    When I was in the Army, I got all the free stuff mentioned above. You want free stuff, join the military.

    In the mean time leave me and my hard earned money alone.

    Screw all you liberal idiots

  • Why are they in front of a crack house?

  • it may be time for that Connecticut Governor to go

  • Rubes. You are the unpaid shills of the insurance companies. You are one job away from no health care - if you're not on Medicare already, as so many of you are. Newsflash - that's government-run health care!

  • "Rubes. You are the unpaid shills of the insurance companies."

    Exactly JustsayinAgain. These ignoramuses, fueled by hate and paranoia, are simply doing the bidding of their masters in the insurance industry. Rachel Maddow exposed the folks behind these protests. They're rich rightwingers who have a historyof stirring up these sorts of uncouth mobs-and calling it "grass roots". LOL! All they are are the dupes of the wealthy who want to keep fucking them American people in the ass.

  • This video really touched a nerve with the far right. I guess they don't like being lampooned as caricatures of themselves...

  • I personally like the video, it shows that people are able to stand up and say what they feel without fear of retribution.

    You should know that, you fought for our rights to do this didn't you?

    I bet there are some liberal points of view in these rallies, and townhall meetings as well that are also against this health care plan, will you call a DEM or a Lib who rising up against this, a MOBSTER too?

  • This was not a Dump Dodd rally. It was a few people who heard about the event an hour and a half earlier. If they had had 24 hours notice, there would have been 100 perfectly behaved activists on the picket line. Wait and see .........

  • Palinsmith: While he may not be representative of ALL "Dump Dodd", he is a part of it, as well as the Tea Party and birthers. As I said to you at the event, there are too many on the right saying stuff like this and it truly does hurt your sides chances of getting any legitimate issues addressed. I just wish that more of your side were willing to have a rational conversation, as we did, regardless of our differences in ideology.

  • do you think it's time for Rell to go??

  • PATRIOTS

  • I am ashamed to share the same country as these idiots.

  • Don't worry, Barack is changing it so that those "nuts" will get turned in to his modern day Gestapo...

  • The only thing the Obama administration wants is to get these LIES that insurance companies are putting out there.

  • take down the police and fire dept, its socialism!

    LOL

  • When I want to go somewhere I just pave my own road all the way there. I ain't bowing down to the government's unconstitutional socialist highway system where THEY decide how you get to point A to point B. I'm an individual!

  • Ted Kennedy's whiskey! Great!

    Didn't Ted write the book "A Dogs Eye View of Washington DC"?

    He wrote it from his experiences of crawling around the town drunk on his knees for 25 years.

  • Dumb fucks.

    Americans seem to be scared absolutely shitless of the word "socialism". Even the Left.

  • I hate wingnuts and all cons, but I do hope Dodd loses. He's corrupt and everyone knows it.

  • I'd still rather have right-wing Chris Fraudd than far-right Rob "Bush Waterboy" Simmons. Too bad CT Dems are scum -- well, more scummier than most Dems -- and didn't have the balls to primary Dodd.

    This video is hilarious, though. I wonder how many town halls these "Dump Dodd" clowns are going to disrup... er, make liberal use of their PATRIOTIC freedom of speech rights

  • Vote for Peter Schiff. Screw the two party system. It's not like they do anything for you anyway.

  • I'm a CON, and not offended by your post, I gave you a thumbs up, because your rational:)

  • Christopher Dodd is a horrible human being.

  • And the ones who are more horrible are the ones who keep supporting him.

    Dodd, Kennedy, Byrd, all these jerkoffs keep getting elected by crazy liberals.

    I feel so much better knowing that the GOP machine is able to rise up on a moments notice, and make not only a difference, but a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference.

    Yes Liberals are feeling the pinch, you can tell by their attempt at fighting back with weak complaints like this video.

  • The GOP should just replace their symbol of the Elephant with a PLOT OF ASTROTURF.

  • Why because Obama told you so?

    Think for yourself.

  • There are democrats and independents popping up at events complaining about the state of politicians too. It isn't a gop thing.

  • I agree with you, I said that many times, over and over.

    maddow is a tool for thinking this is only a GOP things. I only said it, because she claimed it to be..

  • there was no mention of suicide in this video, Typical left wing attack. if you can't win...Attack. Where is the " healthy debate" Omama spoke of? The left cannot debate, they can only call the other view point " Nuts" So childish.

  • obama did say that under his plan she may have been better off just taking a pain pill instead of the pacemaker...she was 100 years old thou!

    is it really worth the cost for just a couple more years...she is already 100 isn't that long enough!!!

  • Hey Patrick, wait till Obama says's its your time.

  • for you 29 years is long enough

  • She could live in 120 or more. It's not like she'll die at a set date.

  • Unless you're a Christian or something similar, in which you believe that it is your time when God says it is, and man can not interfere with His plans...

    @theredpillxxx

    Really? You'd wish for someone to die? That's horrible! I would never wish for someone to die, not with the wonders this world still has to offer!

  • LOL Everyone I know feels like these people. You creeps can keep pretending its a "few fringe nuts" as the crowds grow bigger and bigger... Next a 5 million man march on DC.

  • The "community organizer", is going to get a taste of some real community organizing. But there will be nobody bussed in or paid. It will be all pro bono on our time and our dime.

  • ...Oh excuse me scotch. No my friend. It's called Chivas Regal. Ted "Dangerous When Wet'" Kennedy deserves the top shelf stuff.

  • Amen GET RID OF DODD!

  • What an idiot.

  • Yeah, we should make abortions illegal, so that people do them illegally in back alleys and in turn die from infection. Then the kids that grow up, unloved, will be better soldiers for the war we will send them off to, I'm sure we'll think of more lies to make a war out of by then.

    Really? The health care plan takes nothing away from anyone, and allows people like me to actually be able to get health care, rather than not be illegible for it. Let's do it!

  • The government should not pay for abortion. Not on my dime. You want to get one and bless your first sacrement of liberalism, do it on your dime.

  • Do your research first. Planned parenthood really does not try to push abortions at all. It's a last resort for those that do not have the means to take care of a child in any way. If you feel so strongly, what do you say to the young girl who was raped and then got pregnant from it? Tell her to keep the child? What about all the children that that were abandoned by their parents, what happens to them?

    There is no non-religious reason for your statement, therefore it has no place in govt.

  • The fact is once a goverment program begins everyone abuses it because it's relatively free. What may start out as a good idea within a few years becomes an entitlement.

    Look at medicare, medicaid, or social security. NONE of that will be in existence by 2032 because we can't handle the population growth and still support those programs.

    So why should we make the SAME mistakes with public health care?

  • Then the government shouldn't be paying for wars I don't approve of, i.e Iraq. Where were your protests when that abortion was added to the national debt?

  • @JustsayinAgain:

    Well said!

    @1776freedom:

    I'm waiting for your response.

    @kapan60:

    You are right, those all are huge failures, and my generation especially will be feeling those effects. We must learn from our mistakes. However, without taking risks to attempt for a better future, what is the point of living?

  • Bottom line.....you grew up!

    Give them the chance to find their own love!!

  • think its time for Rell to go???

  • That blubbery guy is a former clean green gung ho marine. You can't carry his jock strap in your dreams.

  • Thanks for putting this up!

  • These are all paid people by the insurance companies.

  • "He could wash it down with Ted Kennedy's whiskey." FOTFLMAO! JB that was classic.

  • this is just sad...

  • What kills me is this bill doesn't even fit these rednecks' stereotype of socialism. It's a half-hearted compromise between something good and whatever the imaginary conservative living in Obama's brain wants. All this effort over something so crappy is depressing.

    HR 676 is where it's at. Everything's covered. Pay what you can afford, better service, will save billions of dollars a year, and is only about 20 pages so anyone can read it in one sitting. Twice.

  • I agree with you on HR 676 BUT I can live with a really good public option. I know for a fact that single payer is the best answer.

  • get some better slogans

  • The masses still have a long way to go in the ways of communication. Same could be said about some of the politicians as well.

    So far I have only read the section pertaining to how the bill will effect private insurance. From what I can understand it will make some huge changes to their policies. I could definately see many of them closing from this bill.

    I guess that where the "socialist" comes from in this debate. It will eventually become single payer when private insurances can't survive.

  • Hey! I know that fat-assed Ox. Hell, He'll probably be dead of an aneurysm before Dodd is re-elected next year. He's your typical right-wing loser; fat, stupid and in-bred. Also, a sniveling cry-baby, like his idols Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, et al.

  • When will people learn that name calling doesn't help your side of the arguement. It makes you look childish.

    This is real life, not a TV show and you aren't a comedian (probably not anyways :P )

  • So let me get this straight. Dodd writes in the portion of the bill that gave the AIG crooks their bonuses and he's not supposed to be protested against?

    He won't support HR 1207 to audit the Fed. He also Countrywide scandal involving his home loans of up to $75,000 as well.

    He's a crook, just like all of these bank CEOs. Pure and simple.

    CT will be much better off without him.

  • Note from a friend: "Dear deathers : Do you *REALLY* believe the AARP wrote "death counselling" into HR3200?! "

  • "No more socialism!"

    And, if you wanna see something really funny, ask her to define "socialism." That oughta be a hoot!

  • The guy speaking needs a megaphone. You can buy them for $20.

  • Keep it up you guys. Dodd is a corrupt scum.

  • Just look at the whale shouting this - that man is probably a burden on whatever health plan he's a member of. It's a shame I have to share my state with people like this.

  • wow, what a tolerant thing to say to someone, you must be a liberal.

  • What, exactly, would you like me to tolerate? Idiots? People unable to keep themselves in a shape other than "beach ball?" It never ceases to amaze me that people bandy about the word "tolerate" as though it is a shield from criticism, or a magical "everyone must be nice" ticket.

  • I love this. You actually have to type in your comments to make it appear he's "unhinged". He's only advocating the SAME healthcare plan for Dodd that we're all supposed to get with this healthcare "reform". Even Obama promised that :P

    Not to mention Dodd was the same idiot that wrote the portion of the bill that gave the CEOS their bonuses, recieved a $75,000 loan reduction from Countrywide, and a slew of other scandals.

    Dodd is a crook. Pure and simple.

  • he has my comments blocked to him now, so, it is clear he doesn't want any dissenting information. BTW, he is lying. I posted the information on this thread, so, anyone can look it up themselves.

  • No, you're lying. People should review this thread as well as read relevant sections of the bill. If they do, they will see that you are purposefully mischaracterizing the bill to distort and undermine honest debate. Why are you and the mob in this video afraid of the truth? Could it be that you realize that the American people want health care reform? People are willing pay for a system that doesn't make health care dependent upon the financial goals of insurance corps. That scares you.

  • Yes, it makes so much sense to trade the evils of the insurance company for a far greater one by continuing to allow the federal goverment to grow out of control.

    Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

  • That is just more hyperbole and ideological pablum. What is the policy implication of your statement? Do nothing? That's unacceptable. That's why the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress are trying to formulate a policy that both expands coverage and cut costs.

    This is not a time for knee-jerk partisanship. If you have nothing substantive to offer, just refrain from saying anything at all. It's August and there's already enough hot air.

  • So drpeaches you'd rather see us add another 1.3 trillion dollars to a $12 trillion dollar debt?

    How are you paying for this program? You think the Chinese are going to pay for your health care now? How much longer can we continue to spend our way ouf debt before you wake up?

    Knee jerk partisanship is left for the Democrats and Republicans. I'm nethier.

  • Stop spewing empty rhetoric. The White House and most congressional Dems want to keep the price tag below 1 trillion dollars. I believe the CBO has scored some packages around 600 to 800 billion dollars. At this point, it looks like the package will be paid for with savings (see the deals the WH made with various parts of the health care industry), savings in medicare and medicaid, and possibly tax increases. The goal is to make the package deficit neutral and that's doable.

  • You really believe that a new healthcare program for 300 million Americans is going to be "deficit neutral"?

    I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you.

  • Why is it the Republicans didn't question dding over a trillion for a war that was built on lies but they are unwilling to spend 1 cent to save lives? Is it easier to spend when only killing and not attempting to help? Why can't the American citizen have the same exact coverage as the Congress? Why is it only called socialist when it is for all the people but it is a medical plan when only the Congress has it?

  • 80 percent of Americans are happy with their health care. Thats right ,blow it up and kill all the old people and abort fetuses.Ration it. You will triple breast cancer with this plan. Not to mention prostate cancer and colon cancer waiting in line for less doctors who will leave their practice because of government intervention.They will drop the scalpel and quit.

  • I'm not sure ask the Republicans. Now as for the average American citizen getting the same coverage as Congress, I have to ask one thing: Why are we as taxpayers paying for it? I don't mind paying for a soldier's medical benefits especially if they served during a war, but politicans and political aides should be buying their own dammed insurance.

  • I hope the fat dude has a coronary.

  • I don't wish stuff like that on my worst enemies, No matter how crazy and unhinged that guy appears to be.

  • Maybe I'm too fond of Dantaen/ironic punishments, but let's see how that fat cunt does with the current health care system.

    The shit he was shouting about Kennedy and Dodd? Disagreeing with them is one thing, but making light of their dire medical conditions is another. So, again, I say, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

  • Trying to kill the Goose that laid the golden egg here in America, also known as Capitalism, is what is referred to by many as socialism, or communism > Now, you can be a communist, or a socialist in America, and you can protest. But, when you are caught in a bunch of lies, as Obama has been lately, you must pay the fiddler. The chickens are coming home to roost now and we will not let up until we get the liars out of the white house, and weed the liars out of our congress. We know now.

  • People working for Health Ins Companies out on the street protesting.

    You can't blame them - their jobs are at stake.

  • Which of those persons works for a health care org????

  • Nice try. PalinSmith would have told me that when I told him him those fools should reign in their crazy. But tea party state liaison, PalinSmith, told me he was their inside "press guy". Do you ever get tired of lying to people?

  • Why are liberal so scared of the right wing rising up?

    Were you up in arms over the Black Panthers and their club wielding thugs at the polls?

    What about the LIBtards burning effies of Bush?

    That my friend, is HYPOCRISY!

  • Scared? No. We pity you a bit, and we worry for your sanity. And, yes, we laugh at you.

  • That loudmouth in the cargo shorts is a liar and a fool.

  • Wow, demanding someone with cancer to kill himself.

    Stay classy, wingnut conspiracy theorist nutjobs!

  • You missed it, Obama told a woman at a town hall that her mother did not deserve a pacemaker and she should just take a painkiller. Also, the Health Care plan, parts posted here, allow Govt to ration and decide which doctor lets you die. Read it

  • You're lying again. That's not what he said. The painkiller comment came toward the end of a long discussion about the importance of making end of life decisions with family and physicians. The painkiller comment was not a direct response to the woman's question.

    The plan does not allow govt to ration care and does not allow govt to "decide which doctor lets you die."

    Please STOP lying!!!

  • I posted the plan and still you deny??

  • You are lying. I have the actual parts of the bill that are pertinent. You are just embarrassing yourself here.

  • poor people.

    Once health reform passes with a real public option, these lunatics and the birthers can all get some counseling and affordable medicine to treat their mental illnesses

  • Haha. But seriously I have a feeling that a few of these people really are honestly mentally disturbed nuts, like that lady in New York who was screaming at the Representative about Obamas' birth certificate. It was bizarre.

  • yes. Notice how that lady screams angrily that "she wants her country back" as if anyone has taken anything from her. The idea of having a black president is driving them crazy and the constant encouragement of these nutcases by the GOP and their media outlets will end up in tragedy.

  • You have to insert race into the debate. Is this your magic shield word to prevent dissent?

  • Right on.

  • usmc7242 wrote: "PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life." The actual section reads: The level of treatment indicated under subparagraph (A)(ii) may range from an indication for full treatment to an indication to limit some or all or specified interventions. Such indicated levels of treatment may include indications respecting, among other items."

    The government doesn't decide anything. Please stop lying about health care reform.

  • YOU TYPED IT YOURSELF!!...MAY RANGE..who determines how far MAY is?? GOVT does that. Dont you know how to read??? MAY INCLUDE...RESPECTING OTHER ITEMS

  • Your reading comprehension skills are limited. The patient, in consultation with their physician, makes that decision. What decision? End of the life decisions. What are the options? Well, they "may range" from "full treatment" or limitations on "some or specified interventions." So the govt gives you the right to ask for full treatment (for the doctor to use all means necessary to preserve life) or for limitations on treatment. Not very restrictive.

    You're either lying or slow.

  • No, the Govt will make this decision, just look up Oregon asissteduicide, look it up on hotair, got it in video, even

  • You're referring me to Oregon's assisted suicide statute for clarification on draft federal health care reform legislation? That makes no sense. Plus, the actual legislation contradicts every thing you are saying.

    stop lying!!!

  • usmc7242 I don't know where your original post is, but you lied about the contents of the health care. PG 429 Lines 10-12: A consultation under this subsection may include the formulation of an order regarding life sustaining treatment or a similar order. Pg 429 Lines 13-25 is too long to past but, again, your version is wrong.

  • I love that this video pisses of you right wing nut jobs. The more you all rant and rave the more you marginalize the entire right wing. Thanks and keep it up! :)

  • Oh, please, I post the facts and you do nothing but respond with talking points from Kieth Olberman! Use your OWN brain! Liberals are TEABAGGERS, LOOK IT UP!

  • People are telling me they featured this on Countdown and Rachel Maddow tonight. Supposedly as part of their pieces on nutjobs in the right wing.

  • If that is true, the fact that you only have this many hits indicates how few people watch MSNBC.

    Pathetic!!

  • It's amazing how people always harp on how many people watch such and such news station as though the number of viewers proves something...

  • Over 6000 views and still climbing. You guys were griping on your "Dump Dodd" video that your cause didn't get any exposure from the event. You should be thanking me. Oh wait... Even though I personally warned you, PalinSmith, this isn't quite the underbelly exposure you wanted? lol

  • ONly as asshole would continue to support this bigger asshole soon to be ASSHOLE LESS...

  • Trying to argue with people whose souls are poisoned by their own self-doubts is a waste of time.

    Healthcare is a money pit so long as lawyers make the laws. If you think it costs too much now, wait until the ambulance-chasers have free-reign to sue the Federal Government. The flow of malpractice claims will make Niagara Falls seem like a leaky facet in comparison!

  • ????

    How in the span of 25 years.....did the Republican Party go from the grace and sophistication of Ronald and Nancy Reagan to these troglodytes?

    ?????

  • in what world did ronald reagan have grace

    his policies were abominable and his speeches were empty platitudes that made people feel good about being racist shitheads

  • Should've zoomed in on the asshole's face so we can take a real good look at his fat ass.

  • This is what has become the Republican Party? ? ? ?

    What happened to the grace and sophistication of Nancy and Ronald Reagan Republicans?

  • The Repubs really should have paid attention to Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein." Man the good doc had nothing on them!

  • God Republicans are truly repellant fools.

  • For a guy who is so overweight.....you'd think he'd want everyone to have healthcare.

    Want to bet if he got a new job....he would be denied healthcare because he is overweight?

  • You're right... These are the same ppl that want to do away with Medicare, SS, and always complain about the VA. They never protested anything in their lives before this. They think it's like following football teams or something. They got us so we gotta get em back. They don't pay attention or give a crap about whats happening in the world, let alone America. This is how they got sucked in by their corp masters! We did it because we care. Not because of hurt pride or hating a black man.

  • Corporate tools!!

  • These ignorant fools are filled with hate, it's their only reason for getting up in the morning. More Americans need to start standing up to these fascists who are doing the bidding of the insurance/drug companies.

  • Actually, it is LOVE for America that makes us get up in the morning,and it is HATRED FOR America that makes you spout liberalism and hatred and Communist philosophy.

  • Just not those pesky Americans without health care or those going bankrupt because of it. They can die a slow, miserable death. Other than that though, they totally LOVE (caps is fun!) America. You rule dude!

  • Dick Durben is an ass. He went on the record and said healthcare protesters are the one-two punch and rediculous!" He doesn't realize he's getting voted out!

  • Look at these pitiful tools. Can't think for themselves, swallow every line of bull pushed by Limbaugh and Hannity. Stupid people who vote against their own interests.

  • Unlike the Democrats that promised to end the war and are now continuing it past the Bush regime?

  • They vowed to draw down the Iraq war and focus on Afghanistan. Is this not happening?

  • Oh they voted to "drawn down" the Iraq War? Can you explain why the "War on Terror" has lasted over 8 years when we defeated Italy, Japan, and Germany in less than 5?

    How many troops are you willing to have die for this so-called war? How long to do we have to pay for it? Why does it cost over $1 trillion to fund an American empire that has NOTHING at all to do with national defense?

  • Umm, maybe because 4000 troops died almost every day in WWII, while we are BLESSED that only 4500 have died so far in 8 years!

  • Mr Ban...I saw you at that spot on Countdown just now.

  • Not blessed, it's just really easy to take out a third world country when you spend more on national defense than all of the other countries combined.

  • gee, dont ya think that a country that outspends on Health and Human servies more than 5 times greater than national defense would be perfect?

  • Sure. End the American Empire in which we spend over a trillion dollars a year for, pay down our national debt, and then healthcare would be affordable.

    That would save this country almost overnight.

    The problem is the politicians in Washington won't allow it. They are too busy partying with our money, fueling the industrial war machine for profit, and finding more ways to steal it from us.

  • hey kapan how old are ya...if your young..your attitude will change as you mature..if your over 30...your foolin yourself utopia aint comin..man is basically rotten to the core..and whoever said empires were bad... the who said it best...meet the new boss same as the old boss

  • I agree!

  • HUH? Limbaugh and Hannity are just clingers to these protests, they NEVER told us to start these, they only caught on once they saw it was popular. TRUST me, They never sent us a CENT! We do this ALL on our own dime, I WISH we had a George Soros to buy all our signs and pay for buses and adbertising, I'd do this for a LIVING if we did!

  • No, dumbass, you are wrong. Insurance lobbying front groups are organizing 'tea-baggers' and playing them like a fiddle for their own interests. How else would so many "conservatives" know about events that were only announced in left leaning channels??? The only people against the reform of our broken health care system are insurance companies, people being paid by insurance companies (i.e. politicians), and delusional people that are easily influenced by people from the first two groups...

  • What, do they carry signs say that they get paid? How could you possibly even know that??? And as you appear to be a conservative, what would you even be doing there? At best, you are very unconvincing. At worst and more likely, you are straight up lying.

  • Please. With the way the federal goverment has been running for the last 8 years you think they are only protesting because they are paid or delusional?

    Sorry, but a majority of Americans aren't too pleased with the way the federal goverment spends our tax dollars on programs or wars we don't want.

    The American Empire is ending along with the welfare state. These protests are just the beginning.

  • Yes the fed sucked the last 8 years, but NEWSFLASH, we voted that party out of office. Did you not get that memo? So yes, delusional.

    I can understand being upset about the trillion dollar wars, but why weren't any of these so-called fiscal conservatives barking the last 8 years??? Oh yeah, it's because the talking heads that tell them how to think weren't giving them marching orders yet.

    How is the American Empire ending?  How are we even an empire? What is the welfare state?

  • Oh great we voted one idiotic party out of office and got another one instead. That's progress?

    As for your second point. Who cares? It's irrelevant. That's just mindless fingerpointing.

    The American Empire? We have over 300 military bases worldwide alone! We currently occupy Iraq and built military bases a huge embassy all in the name of "democracy"

    The welfare state? Your joking right? We have enough entitlements on the books now that will surpass our GDP by 2032.

  • These screamers are disgusting, they have clearly lost the argument.

  • LMAO...l mean, how can anyone take these assmunchers seriously?.

  • This is just sad. Thank you, connecticutman1, for exposing the ugliness and violence of the conservative movement in this country.

  • The Only ugliness is in people who carry KILL BUSH signs and call for SarahPalin's daughters to get raped in Yankee Stadium.

  • No one is required to have a living will. Stop listening to the conservative media's lies. If passed, Medicare would pay for one doctor visit every five years, if you choose to do it. Look up HR3200 and read it yourself.

    The clowns in this video aren't real Americans. Part of living in a democracy means participating in rational discussions of issues. They aren't capable of it.

  • The cost of healthcare in the US is magnified enormously by the monopoly that the government has granted to the AMA.

  • My daughter and I (not Americans) were staying in Bishop in Apr 2000 while skiing Mammoth. She contracted severe tonsilitis and it cost 250 something dollars to get a prescription for the $20 of penicilin that she needed. Note that she did not require any "expertise" or knowledge from the prescription writer. She and I(as do all reasonably intelligent people) both already knew the treatment. All that was needed was to pay the ransom.
