  • According to a study published Friday by experts who can tell just by looking at you, you have got to be aware that you're a f-ing idiot. You know that, right? the report read in part, going on to stress that you really ought to see what everyone else sees when they look at your stupid face. There's really no way you couldn't know, but then again, you're such a giant dumbass that anything's possible." The report concluded that, seriously, if you don't realize it, you'd better get a f-ing clue.

  • Also, was the war in Iraq constitutional? Did this soldier take part in an unconstitutional war? Does he now expect us to believe that he is an expert on the constitution? Do ANY of you teabaggers actually understand the constitution? I suggest you people take a deep breath and stop babbling about socialists and abortions. No, the government will not force doctors and nurses to give abortions, that is fucking ridiculous.

  • i dont know anything on the abortion thing. but just open up to the possibility that they can force the doctors to do this. they always override the constitution. nancy pelosi was asked where in the con. does it make it right to mandate the public option on us. she said "are you serious? are you seriuos?? do you know who i am ??" that was her answer. like she's a god ! thats their mentality. we are going to decide whats best for you. even if you like it or not. i dont want that !

  • Why is this guy going for cheap applause lines? Does he realize that his own health care is not mentioned in the constitution? This guy fought in an illegal war that butchered civilians, I have serious questions for him. Like, did you feel any moral responsibility to speak out against being sent to Iraq, or did you just blindly follow orders. Also, when you realized that your fellow soldiers were specifically targeting hospitals and ambulances, did you speak out? Those are questions, sir.

  • how do you know we are killing citizens over there ?? where you over there?? no?? well then how do you know that is true?? i think that was manufactured by the left because they dont believe in war in the first place. even if thats not true i'd still suspect it. if they vote on going to war it's leagal.

  • I know it is true because returning soldiers have said it themselves, and it has been reported by literally hundreds of sources.

  • besides recently, we dont return incomming fire anymore. since obama became commander in chief. thats why he did it. we are just locking them up now. rarely do we acturally shoot back. geeze, something tells me thats a recipe for failure on the war. which is probably what obama wants. so your theory on the military killing all citizens is mute now. with the exception of the drone attacks.

  • Claire, Claire,

    So unaware

    You are full of hot air.

    WE DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

    Stop your ears-if you dare-

    We'll vote another to take your chair.

  • I don't understand why these townhall meetings can't be orchestrated in a more civilized manner. All the noise that the audience makes is unnecessary. You don't have to be loud and unruly to get your point across...unless you're a child.

  • I mean, yeah, why should we let a nasty little thing like emotion or passion for a message get in the way of sitting quietly on our hands? Sometimes I find myself sitting quietly at a rock concert and thinking, 'Geez, can't you people be quiet? I can barely hear my favorite song. How is the artist ever going to know that we like what he or she is singing with all this noise?'.

  • All humans are emotional, Spirit. I know that. And I also know that you know exactly what I meant when I said you don't have to be unruly and loud to get your point across. You act as if not being loud and unruly means sitting on your hands and closing your mouth. You don't have to be a push over in order to not be ignorant. All you have to do is express your emotions like someone who has a brain, and not like someone who was born yesterday.

  • you dont get it. the government is trying to take over the healthcare industry and bankrupt it. and they want us to take the government option. why are these people acting loudly?? it's because they are MAD that the government would have the audacity to do this! they are passionate about keeping their freedom.

  • They are not defying the constitution.

  • Ooorah!!!! The Constitution says what it means and means what it says, right along with its companion document, the Federalist Papers.

  • *askes question*

    *gets answer that they don't like*

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I really don't get the anger at McCaskill she is a VERY moderate democrat that makes a point of never asking for a single earmark. Were are these haters of out of control spending at kit bond's town halls, seeing as he brags about his entire career being earmarks

  • The nurse in the red shirt had some very powerful points.

  • I wish more African and Hispanic Americans will go to these town hall meetings and express their point of view.

  • not mentioned: woman and baby would have both died if they didn't do the late term abortion.

  • I'm not necessarily disagreeing , but you know this how?

    In any event, doctors and nurses should not be forced to take part in the procedure if it goes against their conscience.

  • the fact that the woman was bleeding, and that late term abortions are only legally performed in a situation in which the mother's life is threatened, and generally when the mom dies the baby dies too.

  • The nurse stated the woman went across the river to have an abortion.

    Without knowing this for a fact, it's possible the abortion was elective without the mother's life necessarily being at risk and during the procedure something went wrong

  • I like how volunteering to take part in an unneeded occupation that's lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths gets you a standing ovation. Soldiers aren't to be envied, especially given the roles they play in today's imperialist foreign policy.

  • The military doesn't decide where the servicemen go. They just go. If you want to blame Bush for the occupation go ahead.

    Given the risks and the prolonged separations that these service people are forced to take from their loved ones and balance it against what they get in return, they deserve the ovations.

    I disagree with the imperialist comment but I'm not going to argue. Neither of us will ever convince the other so why bother?

  • Those that joined before the wars started have my sympathy. However it's been 6 years, the standard stint is four. A lot of the people there now joined afterward, and if they didn't spend a few hours looking into the reasons (or lack there of) of this war, I have little regard for them and their actions.

  • You're entitled to your view. I don't view U.S. presence in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Japan, or Korea as imperialistic. We shouldn't be in Iraq though.

    I doubt many, if any, of the servicepeople see their role as imperialists. Many come from desperate situations at home, some are looking for money for a college education when they get out and some do see it as a vocation. All these reasons are honorable.

  • Here is a Senator who speaks as though she really cares about Missouri. I don't buy it. Reason, when she lost the run for Governor & she retained her office as Missouri State Auditor she blows the whistle on state agencies having new/outdated computers. Several thous&s of wasted dollars. Now do you really believe that while she was State Auditor before & during her run for Governor she did not know about this waste. I am not buying it. I didnt believe her then & I dont believe her now.

  • its really sad that we have a bunch of socialist in power that is going against the people and trieing to push shit on the people , that the People dont want , In 10 years this country wont be land of the free if we dont stop these socialist now

  • im sick of being the property of my government.

  • That man rocked!

  • This man should get a medal!!! I would vote for him!!

  • when that fat ass in the blue shirt comes and says "9.6 million" or w/e are not citizens of the US, what's wrong with them? Is she trying to refer to ILLEGAL residents? because you can still be a citizen of another country and be in this country, LEGALLY. Remind me never to go into poltiics

  • GCowner I really hope u dont vote if u dont know what ILLEGALS are in this country , go to the southern border the usa and watch all the ILLEGALS crossing into the usa , then u might know what she is talking about , but u still might not know since ur a lib lol

  • I know what illegals are, but instead of saying illegals she said non-citizens, there is a major difference. Also I am a conservative, and being liberal doesn't make someone dumb(which you are insinuating, correct me if I am wrong). the only time i ever voted was for bush the first time he ran for pres.

  • GCowner  if non-citizens is getting health care founded by the backs of the american tax payer is wrong , in every way.

    By the way incase u dont know bush wasnt a conservative

  • I never said he was conservative(my point was that he is R not D, you think it would've been a better idea to vote for his democratic opponent?). Also, non-citizens also pay the tax. It is not founded by the backs of the American tax payer, it is founded by the tax payer. I don't see why you think American citizens are the only ones paying taxes, everyone except illegals pay taxes

  • GCowner your into that new world order shit arent you ??

  • I think once we get rid of the racists in this country, it will be a place where we can all cooperate in order to build a better country.

  • GCowner that will never happen , history shows there was alway a group of people that seen their selfs better than every other person, as long are there is people there will always be those that thinks they are above every othr person,

  • And for some reason we can't reduce it to point where it is almost nullified? Please, don't lecture me and drop this. You started off bashing liberals and now we are here.

  • GCowner so tell us how will racists ever go away when the prez spent 20years with one and lets not for get the prez pick for the life long job , by the way lets not forget that the libs are calling old people that fought the nazis , nazis , just because they dont become sheep the libs will never let the word racists die , thats the libs word they have to use every day

  • In my experience so call minorities who are immune from political correctness have a demeanor of superiority, but that's just me.

  • The government is sworn to protect Americans. Insurance companies protect their profits. You pay taxes for your local fire department. You might never use their service but your neighbor might to save their home. What's more important? Your home or your body?

  • truc111 u are forgetting about u having to pay the local fire department to save ur house , why do u want to put the same government that has fucked EVERYTHING they do u between u and everything u do ??

  • Of course I pay them through property taxes as do all the property owners in my city. Will we all have our houses catch on fire? No. So what's the problem of paying for something we all use. Healthcare should be a part of the commons like the fire dept., police, roads, highways, schools, some hospitals etc....

  • truc111 so u want the same people that has fucked every thing up that they have touched to do ur health care , and u dont mind letting the old die because obama thinks a pain pill will be cheaper than a new heart

  • The corporations has screwed us over and over. Not the government. It's funny how the people that say government is the problem, run for office, get in and then proves to us how bad the govenmnet is by screwing everything up. There are so many things that needs to be fixed starting with campaign finance reform. Then we can go down a road to get our government back working for us. The pill is cheaper if you're terminally ill. Why do a heart transplant if your dying from cancer?

  • truc111 so its the cheaper choice, so if someone can live 10 years more , the pill is still ok with u lol , now u libs wants to kill the babies and the old , who will every there be left for u guys to brain wash to get ur way ?U are backing one of the biggest screw ups that has ever been in the white house , every day he is caught in at lease one lie,so can u really tell when he is telling u the truth ?? so is he still for the single payer system ??

  • You just totally ignored my point at the end. When someone is terminally ill death is imminent. If I need a hip replacment when I'm dying from cancer does it make any sense to replace my hip when I'm going to be dead in 6 months or less? That's exactly what happened to President Obama's grandmother. Would you pay for a kidney transplant when you are terminally ill and dying from pancreatic cancer? If any surgury would save someone's life of course you go ahead and do it.

  • truc111 what im saying is if u can pay for the new heart and u want the extra 6 months then go for it , but with obamas plan u wont be able to pay for it , now if the tax payer is paying for ur new heart then thats another story, but think god i dont have to say ya or na about a new heart ,

  • With Obama's grandmother getting the hip replacement did not extend her life. It did not matter if it was replaced or not. She was still going to die. If you can or tax dollars go to paying for a surgury that will cure you or give that person some more years on their life then by all means do it. If the surgury is not going to buy you anymore time why do it?

  • Forgot to mention Insurance companies deny people coverage all the time. No one can deny that fact. That needs to be fixed.

  • truc111 most that get dened is ones that wait till something is wrong with them before they try to get Insurance , its like wrecking ur car andgoing and buying car Insurance and wanting them to pay for the wreck before u have coverage

  • So what do you propose we do for those people? Let them die or give them health care insurance. Some people have health care insurance and then they are denied treatments that the doctors say the need and in some cases are life or death. What do we do for those people? Let them die also or give them the treatment they have payed for.

  • truc111

    So what do you propose we do for those people? Let them die Thats why every one is against this health care they are trying to pass, with this healthcare it wont be a doctor saying if u get the treatment or not, It will be in the guys hands that has a brother that wrote 1 young persons like equal to 14 old peoples life, and ur forgetting that there is medacare that they can get on to pay for their treatment , well it there right now till they pass the death care bill

  • No one is going to let you die on government run healthcare. There is no evidence that the government is killing people that are on gov't run health care. It's totally ubsurd to think that. The insurance company right now tells your doctor whether or not you can have certain tests and procedures. So you rather have someone motivated by profits deciding your care rather than someone if it was true from the gov't that is the only entity sworn ton protect Americans.

  • truc111 u really need to check the back ground and friends of some of obamas zars, now what ones brother saild one young persons life is worth more than 14 84 year olds lives ?? and what zars bestest of friends said that they need to put stuff in the water so that no one can make babies , (i might have got brother and friend mixed up ) but u get the point now u want people like this to say if u live or die ??

  • Factcheck has already debunked the claim about Ezekiel Emanuel. Also the book that was written back in the 70's by one of three authors which included John Holdren is being taken out of context like some conservatives do with the bible. Even if all of this was true, there are not the ones writing this health care legislation. Democrats along with amendments from Republicans in Congress make up the legislations being proposed. Do some research and stop running around in fear.

  • truc111 tell us where doese personal responsibility fall in ur view ??

     I really dont care if there is some rhinos on the death board, The people has said they dont want obamas killing health care , and we see the people dont mean shit to this commy prez

    oh by the way before u say anything the polls show that MOST americans dont want this death care

  • They were personally responsible for themselves. They have insurance and are denied care, or they are trying to get insurance and are denied coverage. I see you believe that the insurance companies bear no blmae at all for the evil things they do. If you believe they are death panels or this is death care then you are way off in another reality.

    Polls! The American people are being told to be very afraid of things that don't even exist. Just like you. Sad! Think for yourself man.

  • truc111 if government health care is so great then why do people from other countries come here for treatment ??? and yes they do, did those people u talk about that cant get health care coverage , did they try to get it when they was young and when there was nothing wrong with them ?? or did they wait till they was sick before they tried to get it , do u wreck ur car and then try to buy coverage to cover the wreck ??

  • Because they are fortunate enough to pay for the services that they don't want to wait for. No one says health care quality is terrible is the US. It's the access that is terrible for the less fortunate. Every industrialized country has some sort of universal health care and they are happy with it. If the Republicans don't like gov't ran health care then why didn't they repeal medicare, medicaid, tricare, or veterans affairs when they had the majority.

  • They lose their coverage due to unemployment then when they try to get coverage on their own they are denied coverage. That's just one example. Is it right to deny people coverage who are willing and able to pay for it? That is why reform is needed. Whether it's a gov't option or regulation of health care insurance. Something has to be done to make sure people have the access to health care insurance. You can't honestly say it's ok for health insurance companies to deny coverage or services?

  • truc111 u can come up with all the things u want but it boils down to ur a obama person and u want the government all up in ur life , thats ok some people just cant live with out some one telling how to live and whats best for them , but u really need to look at obama , is it ok with u that obama is breaking the law and that his mob is going against what the people that put them in power and pays their pay check ???

  • They gov't does not do anything to me that affects me greatly. If it wasn't for the gov't this place would be hell. Stick to the facts. Facts cannot be debated. When people tell you things and use could and probably that means they are no facts to back up their statements. We finally have an adminstration that is trying to focus on taking care of it's citizens rather than trying to be imperialistic and some people are upset due to the attention their getting. Yes for war, No to life. Sad.

  • truc111 u have a leader that is breaking the law and yet u dont care thats whats sad , your right the Facts cannot be debated the people have stood up and said no to this mess and yet the left just calls the AMERICAN PEOPLE nazis and kkk members , now that is fucked up ,

    all this health care shit is to get people eyes off of what they really want to do and thats that crap and tax bill , another thing the people have said no to

  • What did Obama do that broke the law? They call them Nazis because the brown shirts used to intimidate and disrupt meetings just like at the town halls. Also they are too many whites out there oppose to this President for no sane reason according to the demographics of polls being taking. Many people find it odd that people are complaining about issues that have been around for decades especially when a half black President is in office. To some it's a facade for the hate.

  • truc111 obama is not allowed to have a list of american people that is against his crazy plans and he cant threw it away either ,

  • There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we cant keep track of all of them here at the White House, were asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag white house. gov.

  • Sure sound like they are collection names.(sarc) They are gov't agencies that can wipe you out and no one will know what happened. They can make you disappear into thin air. They can read the contents of your hard drive right now. But the crazies think the gov't is using e-mails from citizens to create a list. LOL

  • truc111 incase u dont know its that list that is sent to flagwhitehouse. com

  • Yeah.... they are collecting a list and they are coming for you to put you into those FEMA camps. Why do you think they are trying to get as many national guardsmen in to work at the internment camps right now? LOL

  • truc111 dont start that race shit we all know why people is against this nut , because he is one step from a commy , he owns car makers banks and now he wants to own ur healthcare also , if anything its his party that would fall into the nazi shit

  • You brought it up yourself and I made a comment on it. I could care less about people with hate in their hearts. If he did not do anything about the banks or the car manufactures then people would say he is destroying the economy by not stepping in or some crazy shit like that. If Obama could walk on water the opposition would say but he can't swim. No one are Nazis. That only came up from the right before the left threw it back at them. Nazis shold not be thrown around so careless like that.

  • You were in the service and you speak of your country like that? What facts do you have? I know the guy you have been arguing with all day is twit but don't act like Obama is pushing an agenda that has failed countless third world leftist nations.

  • tsakherkuum who are u calling a twit ??

  • No offense dude but work on the spelling.

  • tsakherkuum ive been out of school over 20years and on here is the only place i ever write anything , so I think ill be ok lol

  • If you are talking about the fact that corporations and special interest groups run this country then yeah. Anybody can see that. Health care for your citizens and legal residents is the cause of contries failing? Every other industrialized country has a system of universal health care coverage and they are happy with it. Health care should be a part of the commons. You can't have life without health care. Reform is needed, point blank.

  • You are full of crap, point blank. You are talking about corporations like a communist(I'm sure you don't know what they really are about). The obama admin is full of green jobs lobbyist, union people and community organizer idiots. And how do you know other industrialized nations citizens are happy? North Korea, China and Cuba has "free" health care. Would you go there for brain surgery or cancer treatment?

  • I guess youre ok with corporations being first in line when legislations are being past in this country's history. To me it's the lesser of two evils with this administration. But something has to be done to get gov't back fully on the side of the working class.

    Ask Canadians, people in Europe, I personally know Germans that love their system. If it was so bad then why are we the only ones that do not have it? Cuba yes if I couldn't get it here for any reason. North Korea or China no.

  • It is a known fact that the health care in Canada is like the DMV or post office, social security office. Bureaucratically and ineffective. And in Europe all they have ever known is government control. One more thing, When was the last time health care innovations were made in these socialized country's? And just about all foreign leaders come here in AMERICA to get the health care that you seem to think is so awful.

  • hmm let me tell ya troop.I know your not a grunt bc grunts do not blather such bullshit.First we are a capitalist nation founded as a republic. I swore an oath and the infantrymans creed.I will honor them .Wheres your honor troop?have you any at all?

  • I'll also go to France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Greece, Iceland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Germany,Canada, Finland, Australia, and Denmark to name a few.

  • For a service member you seem to think very little of your country.

  • Sir with all things considered, what makes you think that the federal government can do anything other then waste money and be inefficient?

    I won't pretend to know what the solution to health care is but It certainly doesn't come from a centralized corrupt government.

  • Then gov't is corrupt with corporations in control. The gov't is an entity that we as voters can get to work for us but to many people are so ignorant to the facts and don't care. Campaign finance reform is needed to get our gov't back out of the control of corporations.

    It's sad to me as a country people were willing to send me to my death three times (war) but when it comes to providing health care to the needy they throw a fit. Where are our priorities? Fear makes people stupid.

  • Large centralized governments are always corrupt. That is why America has always had libertarian leanings ingrained in its political fabric. state rights and small government has proved to be a winner. I feel sorry for guys like you who believe the government is the answer to your ills. And not the face looking back at you in the mirror, or the Christ you and I know.

    And sorry dude but if you volunteered for the service, don't whine about facing war.

  • I take care of all my ills on my own. They are people out there that are not as fortunate as me. For them the gov't who is sworn to protect its people steps in and helps. The gov't is of the people, by the people, for the people. The gov't is US if we have the resilience to get it back from the control of the wealthy. We can't be a country that has the least of us dying, hungry, and poor. We have too much wealth as a nation for that to be happening.

  • truc111 For them the gov't who is sworn to protect its people so please tell me how illness has anything to do with another country invading us ?? after all the government is only to protect us from invaders not to give us everything we want , if any thing the healthcare crap should be left up to thestates not the fed

  • You continue to shock me at the ignorance you have of American history. The government's purpose was never and is not to coddle and manage the people like cattle as you seem to think. Through out history what has made America so admired and unique is that we have given people the right to come here and enjoy the fruits of their labor(and yes god forbid make some money).

    Oh yeah, lawmakers are sworn to protect the people from government tyranny. Like a large out of control fed government.

  • Congress by law can lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. If the welfare of the people is threatened then they can come in and fix the problem by the means stated above.

    I guess it's ok to make millions and billions while denying people care that they pay for. Money trumps someone elses life. What a good lesson to teach to future generations.

  • Yes it is! The government handbook is called Ecoscience. It is about eugenics and lowering the population by more than half so we can be controlled more easily. Do you want to be a slave? B/C this is what the elitist NWO thinks of you!!! I hope you wake up to the truth and SEE it is about money, power, and control. They hate you! Rockerfeller calls you a useless eater and we should be phased out by sterilization, poisoning the water and food, air taxing and pollution. They control the banks too!

  • DONT YOU EVER TELL ME THAT I WAS WHINING ABOUT GOING TO WAR. Obviously you can't comprehend what I was saying. People are so quick to support wars that kill people and pay with money borrowed, but when it comes to supporting something that gives life they throw a fit. That's my point. DONT YOU EVER QUESTION MY SERVICE TO MY COUNTRY. That is something you dont do as an American!

  • Sorry pal but what do you expect people to say?

  • I expect them to comprehend a statement before they write a reply. That is all I ask.

  • By the way, why do you think it is that no one wants to use government run VA hospitals?

  • The American Customer Service Satisfaction Index shows that patients in VA hospitals are more satisfied with their care 84% vs. 74% than patients in private-sector hospitals.

  • Yes I am sure that everyone that has been to a VA hospital in the country was tracked down and asked. I grew up in a military family and the VA was spoken of as a joke.

  • So just because people in your inner circle don't like it then it's bad for everyone else. What a big ego you have! They use surveys from patients that use the hospitals and the VA does better than private run hospitals. VA hospitals have been doing better in the last 8 years. No one can deny that. It's not perfect but it's doing better in the patients views than those patients in private sector hospitals. Considering your fact less replies I am done with all of you frightened fools.

  • The VA is a joke and wont treat patients to the best of their ability due to saving a buck! Health Care reform is a joke and is a terrible fascist plot to enslave yet another aspect of our lives. I hate Obama and his puppeteers! Down with the NWO!

  • truc111 by the way please tell us where the cash is going to come from to pay for this mess?? its been proved what obama is saying wont pay for this

  • After 11 trillion of deficit spending that never benefited Americans before Obama took office you are now concern when he wants to reform health insurance that will benefit Americans. Of course the money has to come from somewhere. Fraud, waste, and abuse. Subsidizes to insurance companies. Rolling back the tax cuts to the wealthy. We Americans want something for nothing. We want to get rid of the deficit but are not willing to pay more taxes to pay down the debt along with cutting costs.

  • truc111, I want to thank you for your service to our country. I would also like to commend you for the patience you have shown in this conversation with the man from Missouri here. Wow. It is simply criminal that the republican party has been stirring this group of people up. IMO they do not have the critical thinking skills necessary to sort through the misinformation they have been given.

  • anonofetch sorry to tell u this but people dont have to have the government to tell them how to live , why cant u live ur life with out the government holding ur hand ??

  • anonofetch talk about not have the critical thinking skills necessary , hell u voted for some one that has a past that should have put his ass in jail , so tell us are u a big fan of wright and aries also ??

  • Your welcomed. I second your thoughts on this issue. Fear can do crazy things to people.

  • People that can't get health insurance can't get medicare unless they are 65 or older. Disable and unable to work. They can't get Medicaid unless their at or below the poverty line. What do we do about the people that has insurance and are denied treatment or make to much money that they can't get gov't health care and are denied coverage by private health insurance companies? We need a system to address those in need. We being Christians should support anything that helps the needy!

  • truc111 so since people make to much to get medacade or medacare they shouldnt have to foot their bill doese that hold true for car insurance To ?? if it doese please tell me where to send my insurance bill to. I see u keep talking about being Christians , so i have to say this , u cant be a Christian and be a lib , sorry but there is no way

  • Jesus was a liberal and I'm an independent that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ to the best of my abilities. Some conservative cherry pick stuff out of the bible that benefits their views and ignores the rest. But back to health care. Obviously you have no answer for what needs to happen to people who are denied insurance or care from health insurance companies that do not qualify for government programs even though medical bills are the main cause for bankruptcies in this country.

  • truc111 like i said if the make to much cash to get help then they pay out of the pocket like any other person doese , Hell ill bet i make a hell of alot less than alot of those that get helpcare from the state and yet i pay for my own healthcare insurance, by the way please show me where it tells it good to or ok to kill babies or its ok to be gay , I dont know what kind of church u go to , but hope its not the same one obama has went to for over 20 years lol

  • They have insurance and are denied care or they are denied insurance outright. So they will have to pay medical bills in the tens and hundreds of thousands. Is that morally right to deny people care or let them go bankrupt because they can pay their medical bills or worse die due to lack of care.

    Being gay or abortions are not right according to my faith. But people have the freedom to choose and live with what they do in their own lives. If you don't like either of them don't do it.

  • LMAO!! the gov never screwed you hmm I dont believe that first they fund sweethheart wars for foriegn countries with your dime and our finest men and women.Did i meantion the mean and women DIE!! They take loans out of social security,medicare and medicaid to fund potatao research. OMG you are so so ingnorant of what has been happening in lets say the last 75 years and section 163 of this "bill" gives the gocv access to your bank account AT ANY TIME>that includes what you buy also.

  • My grandpa was terminal thats what the doc said he had heart surgery and lived another 25 years and got to see his great grandchildren thats priceless sir.

  • What was he dying of?

  • This guy read article 1 section 8. Wow. He's a constitutional expert. He should be on the supreme court.

  • There are a lot of angry people in this country today and a good portion are not "right-wingers". The polls show clearly that America is against this healthcare plan, yet Obama and the Dems who have been hijacked by the radical left insist on raming this through without discourse.  Even the moderate Democrats do not agree with this bill.

  • These crazy right-wingers never showed interest in our Constitution during 8 years of Bush-Cheney, when rule of law was circumvented and consistently transgressed upon. None of the screamers were reciting the US constitution when Bush-Cheney were violating our laws, spying on citizens and turning America into a torturing nation. Now they squeal at the notion that all Americans should to have access to decent health care, even tho most of these old crazies are enjoying it at tax payers expense.

  • quenuca so when did Bush-Cheney spy on you ?? Please tell us about those laws they broke ?? sorry dont remember Bush-Cheney tell the people to turn in any one that spoke against them , and set up a email , like flagwhitehouse. com , to report people , wonder who has done that lol

  • If you don't know about all the illegal acts and transgressions on the US constitution committed by Bush-Cheney gang by know is it there a point to start educating you on that now? But if you want to give it a try, you might start by turning off the FOX channel and that talk radio. Then maybe we can start with your lessons... as long as you promise to start reading more and becoming informed for a change.

  • petele345 sorry but bush never told the american people to report each other because they dont want to be sheep , it is illegal for obama to have a list of people that apose him and its illegal for him to threw the list away, whats next brown shirts doing house to house and dragging people out of their houses ??

     sorry to break it to u but bush didnt do any illegal acts but nice try , by the way bush isnt in power now so time to get over it little sheep lol

  • Right-wingers are sure crazy!

  • if these nut case libs gets their healthcare crap pasted u can kiss alot of old people good by , after all in the libs eyes a pain pill would be better than saving their lives

  • Healthcare is too complicated! Wait till you get sick. It is a bitch...right now? What can we do?

  • so just by reading the comments it is clear. Progressive have declared war against our Constitution and America.

  • This kid should be voted into congress!!!

  • The Republicans sure did wave those flags when we went to Iraq. They said, support the troops. They were strangly silent when Walter Reed Hospital's troubles were exposed, and when funding was proposed for additional armor on Humvees.

    You Republicans love to tug at our heart strings. Family values, fidelity - Sanford, Ensign, Vitter, Craig....... Please, PLEASE give the emotive rhetoric a rest.

  • If they can take your labor by force, every other right you think you have under the system is an ILLUSION. Read Article 1 Section 2-8. It laid a foundation of taxation and law making by an ruling class! In a "free" society, you would be given a choice! Allow the free market to regulate things that are needed! The constitution does not give you freedom, it takes it away. How could it give you freedom, when it gives powers to a centralized group? They own us.

  • Sex drive is what propagates the human species.  That doesn't mean you should screw your mother. Quit trying to apply profit-motive to all industry.

  • InModeration1, Well...If there wasn't profit, there would be no motive. What industry doesn't profit? All industry is controlled by the government via regulation. If the gov can take the fruits of ones labor, by force via taxation ( first thing the document established ) EVERY other right you have under the system becomes an illusion. Including a vote and democracy. They dems and the repubs.. all parties have the same goal. To perpetuate the lie, it keeps them in business..

  • the ruling class were commoners. They were merchants, doctors, tradesman, bootleggers, and other common trades. That is not the ruling class. Boy you have not understood a damn thing.

  • Ruling class... commoners? If you're talking about the founders, there are two different catagories. The first being those sent by the king & second being those tricked into it. The ones who tricked into participation were merchants, tradesmen ect. They were the ones who lost everything. The ruling class bloodline made sure of that. The founders sent by the King owned hundreds of slaves and large plantations. They were extremely wealthy by todays standards. The true ruling class bloodline.

  • " We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." Please. More jesuit controlled bircher nonsense. A constitutional republic is a lie. You can't have both. A republic is controlled by the people. A constitution gives power to a centralized group. If you think this leaves the power in the hands of the ppl, you are sadly mistaken. It only allows an elitist class the power of taxation and control of law making. What rights do you have AFTER taxation?

  • Damn straight! Thank you first for your service to the country and second for making these Refrom Pushers listen! NO government involvement in healthcare!

  • Yes, the general welfare clause is restricted to the enumerated powers in Article 1 Section 8. Article 1 Section 8 grants Congress the power to regulate commerce amongst the several states. Health care reform is an exercise of the commerce clause and is in no way inconsistent with the principles of the Constitution.

  • As I explained, Congress has the power to regulate commerce. This is a very broad power. Health care is a form of commerce therefore Congress has the power to regulate it.

    One could equally make the argument that because the Constitution doesn't mention nuclear reactors that Congress doesn't have the right to regulate if a private citizen wants his own personal Chernobyl.

  • Comment removed

  • The Constitution is not a literal document. If it were, your right to bear arms would be limited to if you were in a militia. But somehow, I doubt you would easily give up your pea shooter.

    Don't masquerade as a Constitutional Scholar - you are not one.

  • InModeration1, I agree the constitution is not a literal document. It was a tool for a centralized elitist group to gain power and control a newly formed country and it's populace. This practice is still used today.

    The ruling class. left it open, to manipulate it, to they're favor. After all, only they have the power to tax. Only they controlled the law making. They even closed the loop with the Supreme Court, giving the SC final interpetation and definition of what rights you shall have.

  • America has become the party of NO.

    No freedom to choose universal health care, no jobs, schools sucks, perverts on the rampage, cancer rate has increased due to lead in our goods shipped from other countries and also from the artifical crap in our food supply.

  • Wow . . . the soldier knows his Constitution. Wonder if he's at least 25 years old so he can run against her???? Ha. Ha. And it kept getting better . . . the nurse was terrific. Glad to see Americans are waking up to the socialism tsunami bearing down on us.

  • Claire McCaskill needs to watch out. She must vote against this bill or else she'll be kicked out. Remember, Missouri voted McCain in 2008. That and this townhall. She's an idiot if she doesn't vote no.

  • I see no comments from liberals, why? In my opinion, it's because this video is the truth and they can't deny it.

  • The liberals just cant stand this uproar from the quiet majority because they believe we are a bunch of ignorant, racist, backward living cavemen. Ive heard more intelligent citizens than ive ever seen at a liberal protest. These townhall "mobsters" are speaking with logic and validity. Two things liberals dont understand. Liberals think with their emotions not there brains.

  • Were seeing a Democrat party, again, trying to decieve the American people into thinking this is not a grass roots effort. They are liars and if this goes through your going to see such a march on Washington that they're going to call the National Guard of three states to try and suppress it.

  • McCaskill had better listen to Missourians or she will be voted OUT!

  • This is the orchestrated rabble-rousing Republican "pawns" the Whitehouse is talking about? They look like some ordinary folks to me that just got tired of being the silent majority. I love the soldier and think he would make a great leader. Bless their hearts. Go, america, go!!

  • And the DNC Press Secretary claims the Americans showing up at these town hall meetings are manufactured by fake grass roots efforts. These don't look like fake Americans to me!

  • We need a town hall CZAR!!!!!

  • haha, that is a great statement!

  • Wow--let's elect the soldier for Pres--it seems he has a better grasp of our constitution than our current ACORN rep. Pres does.

  • Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us? and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now.

    We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent?? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming.

    We the people are coming. GET A GRIP!!

    GRIP= Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians

  • must suck to be a liberal at those town hall meetings. They see reality in their face and they know their reasoning is crap.

    Don't tread on us!

  • does paul have a facebook???

  • I think the Democrats procrastinated, wisely so, on jumping behind Obamatuer on this bill. I can't remember another issue in the past 20 years that has brewed such contempt between constituents and their representatives. I think this is like a bucket of ice cold water of a wake-up call being dumped on their heads. It's about time. The biggest fear in Congress is that the liberals will slide over to the right...well guess what? It's happening en masse.

  • Al Gore is the biggest fraud .
