Headzup: Nancy Pelosi Pulls Back On The Public Option

[DuchessAliana]

At least she's not the Speaker anymore...still, she needs to be locked away in Azkaban or something. If only it was real >.<

[Yelena335]

B.Obama's Health Care Legislation... Will you back his administration's? Come to my profile page to Find out just why your opinons means something !

[PumpkinWeirdo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA belly laugh

[okturus]

haHAAA!!!

[thelivingfire]

The republicans ran this country into the ground for years, now its the democrats turn. First they backed off on the public option then obama votes to keep the patriot act alive he also did not hold the banks he gave billions of dollars accountable, we are screwed. Eventually I will wake up one day and there will be only two classes

[meadowlarkable]

When will you idiotic Americans realize you can`t continue to allow your politicians (who make your rules) to accept bribe ( "lobby" ) money from corpratione like Kaiser, Exxon, AIG ???

I`ll make it real simple for you,

1). Politicians take their money

2). Politicians, both Democrats AND REPBLICANS do what the people who give them the money want them to do.

Is this simple bribery problem beyond the average American`s comprehension?

God save us from the U.S.

[dave777blaster]

Telling Americans that won't help

you will need abc blocks and a whole lot of other props to get them to even think about it.

[thelivingfire]

you would need a violent revolution

[thelivingfire]

i agree

[stoicsquirrel]

I find it scary that Pelosi is third in line for the presidency. The thought sends shivers down my spine.

[kiov526]

likewise... Its hard for me to think who would be worse as president than Obama, but Pelosi definitely takes the cake. Although I think Barney Frank would be the worst I could think of.

[stoicsquirrel]

I don't know. Barney Frank still stands up for what he believes in. Even though I don't agree with what he believes, I DO like the fact that he has balls. Pelosi, on the other hand just goes along with whatever she thinks will get her reelected. She is too wishy-washy in my opinion.

[kiov526]

Haha true you do have a point

[millgiass]

If I was in their positions I'd take the money and then stab them in the back, exposing their bribery to the public after voting down their ideas.

[thelivingfire]

the bribery has been in the open for a long time americans are to dumb to care.

[mjd001]

libs turning on each other lol!

[LICK5d]

What the hell can we do! Some one tell me what I can do to fight! Sense this greedy bitch just gave up on us. It makes me wonder if Obama has taken money also. Like being told that when he is out of office, they will make him a every rich man!

[thelivingfire]

There is nothing you can do. the American people are powerless against corporate imperialism and now even Obama himself has given up on the public option and has gotten in bed with the health insurance companies. It turns out the democrats with the exception of a few are no different then the republicans. Were screwed Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power Benito Mussolini

[shaithis45]

@thelivingfire perhaps if enough of the population were to call up their insurers tomorrow and cancel, that could very well send a clear message as in national boycott. Take a few lessons from the civil rights movment. public action/not govt. action.

[Prunesqualer]

I'm starting a campain for the return of Witch burning (cos I own shares in timber).

I shall of couse be holding a fund raising dinner for Nancy Pelosi, so I can depend on her full support.

[marcostar57]

?? I thought she said yesterday that the House bill would pass WITH a public option.

[2558465]

She wants everyone to "tone it down" ???

After calling Taxpayers Nazis ???

After calling us Racists ???

SanFranNan has not seen anything yet ...people are just getting started.

She has Awakened the SLEEPING GIANT...And he is not in a good mood !!!

She should follow Van's lead and just resign now before things get heated but it will hurt the republican Party because she is truly the gift that keeps on giving ..A True PIMPLE ON THE ASS OF America ...

(hope this is toned down enough).

[marcostar57]

You moron just prove Pelosi's point so well -- the "overheated" rhetoric!!! And how are things going to "get (even more) heated"?? Do you plan to bring more guns to presidential town-halls...succeed from the Union??

What freaks you folks are....how sad.

[bart11114]

Well San Fransisco is a very progressive district so any other democrat would get elected to Pelosi's seat. So why not have a Democrat run against her in the primary?

[2558465]

CHARLE MANSON could beat her in the next election....He is probably a nicer person and I know he is much smarter....just listen to her talk .

WHAT A FOOL

[Krupkil1er]

people who write long comments, nobodys reading them lol

[RadarKat73080]

I'm taking up a collection to pay off Speaker Pelosi, I already have 12, now all I need is another 18 pieces of silver!

[stewart0312]

Ahhh, so much for change we can believe in. Obama is no better than Bush.

[andyandymax]

What the hell is this? Did someone actually imagine that politics was about what is good for us? Or that it was about what the public actually WANTS? Fact: Politics is crooked, and it's ALWAYS about getting support and votes so they can get reelected.

[CiphersSon]

ok work with me. pol a trix XXX

p.s. fuck you

[Eball06]

Our whole political system needs reform.. Politicians are the best actors in the world..

[DeeLikesVids78]

just makes me want to puke...good thing if i do, i have insurance to get meds to settle my stomach....feel sorry for you if you don't....it's not really change without the public option.

[gymer15]

These people are so in bed with the insurance companys it's a wonder they don't have every S T D you can get.

[gallomex13]

Greed and Corruption destroyed Rome it has begun to destroy the USA.

[conciousgood]

Has begun... Where have you been for the last few decades?

[omiteru]

I don't understand what the fight against health care reform is about. However, it is nothing new for corporations fight against.

Tobacco, MPAA, the Music Industry, .. the list goes on.

Each of them getting more access to our politicians that the individual voters.

[fireemblem1992]

Nancy Pelosi is a dumb cunt.

It seems she wants to do the popular thing and pull back her support on the public option; something that the middle class desperately needs.

I have no respect for her anymore.

[PopeKurt]

you can say in the beginning its just partisans blowing shit out of proportion, but god damn it she's one corrupt motherfucker!

[EricBoisen]

Nancy's gettin' paid motherf**kers lol pricless

[citizenkong]

Run her out on a rail!!!

[johnny718bravo]

Give Nancy the boot. I smelled a rat ever since she took impeachment off the table. Lying Bitch.

[suicidechickenshit]

We hate Nancy but love Barack? What's the diff other than that one has a wiener and the other one has dark skin? They're both of, by and for the corporations. Nancy took IMPEACHMENT off the table and Barack took SINGLE PAYER off the table. They serve the same master.

[moviedude22]

ha ha

[A86]

Anyone else up for voting out every Democrat who voted against the public option or backed out of it?

[BrianJunglist]

i hate her

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

my god this is getting annoying, this shouldn't happen but the only people who can stop it from happening are those who want it to continue to happen.

[Kapan60]

Why are the Democrats even suprised about this? She was voted in as Speaker to remove Bush as president and after getting elected impeachment was taken "off the table".

She's no different than a Republican.

[RadarKat73080]

And I inch ever closer to a third party.

[morelltechyahoocom]

I agree, A third party is truly needed. I tend to lean right when the left is gaining too much power, and then I will lean back to the left when the right has too much power. Thats why I consider myself an Independent.

[RadarKat73080]

Several parties! It'd keep the "Big Two" honest. Imagine if there were only two choices for everything, no matter which you chose, you'd get screwed over.

[suicidechickenshit]

3rd parties need instant-runoff voting. The duopoly in power will never support IRV. Ever hear of the "Commission on Presidential Debates?" It was started by the GOP/DFL to keep the 3rd party out and have been successful for the last six prez elections except when billionaire Ross Perot spent his way in. The corporate-owned media ridicules or ignores 3rd party candidates to the point where you wouldn't even know they're running. Remember the DFL generated "spoiler" issue with Ralph Nader? Yah.

[HomoCyborgZombie]

w00t w00t

Lol :D

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Sarah Palin is a SUPERIOR politician than Pelosi for Palin has a BIGGER, BADDER, STRONGER and MORE SUPERIOR PACKAGE than Pelosi. Palin is able to influence more people with her GOD POWERS than Pelosi could ever do, even if Pelosi FUCKED every male Congressman's PUSSY! Palin will become POTUS and she will oust every single man, minority and liberal OUT OF DC and replace them with CONSERVATIVE WHITE WOMEN! An ALL WHITE WOMAN RUN DC is SUPERIOR to the Old Boys' Network!

[julian7650]

irrational and vulgar comment

[boots920]

Sarah Palin is a SUPERIOR POLITICIAN ?

Gee maybe the war on drugs isn't such a bad idea.

[RadarKat73080]

Sarah Palin? Are you talking about the one from Alaska who charged travel expenses to the state and went nowhere? The woman who had no idea what the VP does? I only ask because I am hoping there's another Sarah Palin that I am somehow unaware of.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

LOL

[Dacadvid]

I really hope you guys have figured out that ecwaufisxtreme is using a combination of sarcasm and a straw man argument. And whatever it is the Colbert does.

[suicidechickenshit]

'May be but it might just be Asperger syndrome.

[sleonardelli]

Flip flop! She's the reason legitimate Repulican proposals were rejected. Bi-partisanship is NOT in Pelosi's vocabulary. She's obviously out for herself alone; doesn't care about her constituents.
