Rep. Shadegg (R-AZ) Uses Baby as Prop During House Health Care Reform Debate Ca

[bLaZiNgAnGsTa420]

what a nutjob

[UGLYFATASSREPUBLICAN]

I'm not sure which one's smarter.

[Lifedough]

Imagine if someone tried to pull this shit in a real parliament.

[americanman2000]

the baby is like how do i shut that microphone off

[BillyzaCoon]

The people on FOX would say go crazy if they saw a democrat doing this just like all these democrat supporters are doing on here!

[jimmyriba]

Booo!

[mikejp2008]

Adding another option seems to make since more competition is bad? Why don't we hear more from doctors and healthcare professionals on this issue? Where is the Republican bill and why isn't anyone promoting it? If you can get a ticket for not having car insurance why are people upset if they are fined for not having health insurance?

[JBeatty17]

Am I the only one who noticed that the baby kept trying to cover up the microphone while this joker was using her as a human prop? She probably only knows a few words, but her intution must have told her that the American public doesn't want to hear this ass clown talk.

[user0nat]

Its funny how republicans dont wanna spend less than a trillion dollars over the next few years for healthcare, yet they keep pushing bills that makes us spend trillions and trillions of dollars EACH year for war.

[thunderfingers3]

A true American symbol: A dumb child being spoken through by a rich conservative.

[Gravy2468]

The baby is smart, she's trying to move the mic away to give our ears relief.

[SilvaSprinter]

Truly disgusting...I feel embarrassed for that child.

Politicians have traditionally hidden behind these things....the flag, bible, and children.

[Totaltwist]

Omg.. This is a disgusting way to use a child for your own personal agenda. Its so blatent.

[kawksw]

Shadegg : Member and President : Ass Clowns of America

[xcarebearx007]

I actually saw a clip of this on either the Stewart ort Colbert's show...but have a hard time finding said clip

Democrat Pete Stark brought up his two children, twins Andrew and Hannah (age 8), when he gave a speech supporting the health care bill.

I encourage each of my colleagues to join me in voting yes and I can assure you these guys, he said motioning to the kids, arent going to have to pay for it in the future.

[WorldlyRumination]

Thank you for a bit of balance; if Shadegg were democrat, these postings would be saying "oh, how cute, how creative, etc." I have just left the dems to register independent. I'm sorry I walked precincts for Obama to get him elected. I pray this administration is a one term administration. Between the health care bill and Eric Holder's plan to bring Jihadists to trial in NYC, I can see this administration is ONLY driven by ideology & not interested in reaching across the aisle, as he claimed.

[Dragonfly6160]

Shadegg went to his local Rent a Baby.

[Dragonfly6160]

I'm surprised that the parents of the baby would allow Grandpa to use their child in a political debate.

[asphyxiafeeling]

disgraceful! Congress =/= Credibility.

[nawty66]

Very funny comment at end.

[bulluni]

What a fucking moron. Disgraceful!!!

Why is it that whenever these fuckers have no come back they keep returning to freedom.

Why did 9/11 happen? They hate our freedom.

Why are we in Iraq? So we can give out our freedom.

Why can't we give healthcare to Americans who fucking need it? Because they need freedom more.

[WorldlyRumination]

Without freedom, you couldn't post such a thoughtless comment as this. Health care is not a right (and I'm someone who can't get health care at the moment). The insurance industry needs a little modification, remove pre-existing conditions discrimination, enact tort reform, and open up competition between state lines. There is no need to shred the entire system. This bill infringes on our Constitutional rights by forcing us to buy a consumer product and limiting our choices.

[bulluni]

No shit. Of course i cannot speak my mind if we had no freedom. But you arelumping two different issues. The bill DOES NOT infringe on our rights! It is giving us an extra option. What is wrong with an extra option other than bi-partisan bull shit?

[user0nat]

I thought this bill will add a public option? What exactly is limiting our choices? Pls help me understand all of this.

[IntroToYourPsych]

She also wants to eat the microphone

[darklighter131]

This makes me thow up.

[treid100182]

disgraceful

[tikidevil]

Republicans have no shame...none. They use their children, Terry Schiavo, Photo Shopped photos of abortions, false reports from lobbyist's "think tanks," Holocaust photos, journalist plants, payola, bribes, etc. anything to inflame, mislead and lead their simple followers down the path of destruction. They are to be shunned, feared, and confronted. Don't let them hijack our country.

[1samothrace77]

remarkable child and a great dummy

[1samothrace77]

maddie wants you to stop talking.

[shoogie06]

The baby keeps trying to take his mic away, ha ha!

[hyosho]

If Maddie really says all that she's one of the Midwich Cuckoos and needs to be killed while thinking of a brick wall

[Turambar88]

Dirtbag

[tikidevil]

What do you think Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck would say if a Democrat did the same thing? Weren't all the talking heads at Fox all up in arms because the president wanted to address their precious children? It sounds like the Republicans don't mind using their children as props, much like the Nazis developed the Hitler Youth movement.

[Dragonfly6160]

The Fox pundits would blow a gasket if a Democrat did this.

[FIRinfinity]

the baby keeps shoving the mic away from him, hinting at him to stop talking? :P

[bfayer]

This should be on Fail blog

[chunderbucket]

Maddie shits herself and doesn't even know what her name is. vote maddie!

[elitemathlete]

Republicans support child abuse.

[ubtri]

this is bs

[eric3141k]

they would sell children on the corner if they could

[lota68]

I think Mattie is used to listening to a lot of BS. Dodi do di do di do da da. Makes as much sense as Shadegg .

[mclev]

So taxing Mattie to help Americans afford healthcare would be wrong, but taxing her to pay for unnecessary wars is right?

[IcyKitty]

Mattie believe in a binky and a warm bottle... and shitting in her diaper.

Republicans hiding behind babies and women's skirts again

[tuff2chew]

lol... i didnt hear the baby say one thing

[Zakdayak]

OH NO, nocensorship's gonna censor you!

[onlywinter]

This is ideology pushing.

[darkENhandsome]

I'm in total disbelief - this has got to be some kind of a joke. No one can be this ridiculous. Surely. Not even a Republican.

[megarational]

What's next? Will he hang the kid out a balcony to make another point?

[aquamadman]

Mattie says: you can find what i think about you and this bullshit in my diaper! i am going to need a public option just incase stupidity is contagious!

[rufayel]

This is so low brow, classless, exploitation. Desperate shills, dont even recognize the actual bill, which is more private corporate giveaways, ZERO government run healthcare. Read teh fuckign Bill if you dont believe me. The insurance companies are only against 1/10th of the bill, the rest is a gift to them from the politicians they have paid for, wake up people. Ron Paul 2012.

[Waranle]

So stupid, and silly, someone need to put a gag this old dumb ass

[NoCensorshipYT]

ALL you PROGRESSIVES are really REGRESSIVES.

Be careful what you WISH for.

YOU will be CENSORED NEXT.

DIMWIT!

[junkforkaryn]

why didn't he just bring a sock puppet, now this kid will be scarred for life with post traumatic republitard syndrome.

[Waranle]

This kid will be a Dem, when he grow up lol. Just like the big "reagan saint"

[DemonicGemini]

republicans are scum

[NoCensorshipYT]

The Democrat's did it TOO!

SO you can FUCK off.

Obama has USED his OWN kid's.

HYPOCRITES!

[DemonicGemini]

fuck r you talking about kids i just called republicans scum it had nothing to do with kids

[NoCensorshipYT]

U should be saying FUCK you to the Liberals idiots that are going to put YOUR kid's FUTURE in the TOLIET!

YOUR FUTURE as well.

I am in the Healthcare field and I KNOW WTF I'm talking about!

Not only will ALL of us be put FURTHER into DEBT, the QUALITY and AVAILABILITY of HEALTCARE will all but VANISH!

[DemonicGemini]

no to me it seems that the Republicans are looking out for the corporations and this country has always and will always be in debt if do't care what job fleld your in the republicans are working with the greedy corporations to keep us paying more and more on bullshit when we as tax payers can pay for our own stuff

[NoCensorshipYT]

LMAO!

The Democrat's and Obama ARE NOT in BED with some of those SAME CORPORATIONS???

Get EDUCATED MORON!

LMAO!

[steveoboston]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????

[KataVideo]

I wish that kid would have pissed on shadegg's head

[bigbengamer]

oh my god, have these republican fucks got no limit as to how low they will go in order to push their agenda? ffs, a child?! an infant, at that! it will be ten years before that baby knows what's going on, and another five after that before she even cares. by then, let's see if she agrees with the words that have been shoved in her mouth. honestly, i think if that's the way they are going to treat her her entire life, she's gonna put a video on the internet of her slicing her wrists in her tub

[ivehlk]

She understands everything she talks about. She's a baby!

[Phyrexious]

Oh my god. What morons do still vote for these Republicans.. Shameful!

[inmyforties]

SHUTUP, Mattie !!!

[schizerbone]

haha

[xTheOxx]

You know what Maddie wants even less? Boehner's health care proposal, the one that costs more and gives coverage to less people than Baucus's plan.

[Tokkemon]

To all of you idiots who think that this performance was literal, I invite you to take a class in Sarcasm 101. He it using the baby as a prop, as the title says. He doesn't *really* know what she's thinking, only what he believe's she *should* be thinking in several years.

It is not the senator who is delusional here, its everyone who thinks that he is.

[TheRamenAvenger]

No one said that. I invite you to take a class in "not being a GOP apologist stooge 101."

[Tokkemon]

Stooge?

I don't appreciate the GOP as much as the next guy, but at least understand what he's trying to do there. Just because he's a Republican does not give you carte blanche to bash him out of context, which 90% of you all are doing.

[Bunnicula71]

Actually, yes it does. Membership in the GOP = on the shit list. At this point, the entire party has become hostage to radical ideology, thus universally condemnable .

This douchebag is flat out not telling the truth, and this is just pure crap.

Mattie just wants a tit and to shit herself.

[Frieda18]

We get that he's trying to be sarcastic, but it's still stupid. He should learn to put together a well-crafted argument without using a baby as a prop. He's a House Representative, and making intelligent arguments is kind of his job.

If I want good sarcasm, I'll watch "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." I expect this clip will show up on one of their shows next week.

Also, does anyone else think it's creepy that she isn't his granddaughter? Where did he get the baby?

[TheRamenAvenger]

He bought it on the black market :)

[RZetlin]

Wow this is worst than the snowflake kids Bush had to ban stem cell research.

What a sad creature Shadegg is.

How did he get voted in?

[alandtami]

This guy is an idiot.

[d3v07]

Yes, use a baby's logic. Good one republican, good one.

[HerbertHKohl]

So basically what he is saying, is that his position is so stupid that only babies agree with him.

[ScoundrelLB]

shameless

and incredibly juvenile

[fishhead06]

Mattie believes in "patient choice"? That's one precocious infant!

[whoo689]

What the hell is wrong with you, Shadegg? You're a U.S. Congressman acting this way? I'd expect it from one of the tea parties but not a U.S. Congressman, of all people!! How do you know how "Mattie" (however you spell it) feels about healthcare reform?? God, I hate these jackasses who force their politics down their kids' throats. Let them make up their own minds when they come of age!

[Tokkemon]

Perhaps some people need to be shaken up a bit and not be so caught up in the pomp and circumstance of government.

[cindiloohoo]

Okay, what we have learned from this clip:

1. Shadegg apparently suffers from the delusion that he can read the mind of an infant.

2. Shadegg apparently believes that infants are intellectually capable of making an argument for/against proposed legislation.

3. Shadegg apparently is in dire need of psychiatric intervention, possibly even hospitalization.

[balanceseeker]

That was just horrible - putting words in the mouth of a baby, playing upon pity instead of reason in the debate.

I seriously doubt that baby has any clue about half of what Rep Shadegg had to say.

[SolTheImmoralFire]

This is pathetic...

[Djerahian]

that was the sickest thing ever!

[malo7000]

Anyone who uses a child to prove their own political/religious point is scum.

[AnneOnAMoose]

w t  f

[awerner2007]

I get it! The baby was John Shadegg's talking puppet just like John Shadegg is a talking puppet for insurance companies. Very funny.

~Andrew

[Philinspaces]

Mattie has to go back to the leukemia ward after this appearance. Her parents had to sell the house to pay for her hospital bills. The chemo is so expensive that Rep. Shadegg has offered to sign her up for a local charity to help pay for her bills. What a hero. (Just a dramatization of the Republican healthcare plan.)

[iwillspyonyou]

good thing the senate will filibuster the bill

[SaintJust101]

That guy was elected to office?

If i was from Arizona i would be livid.

'Thank you maddie'. What a fucking douchebag.

[zndprophet]

I am livid. The thing about Arizona is-there are more people here who grew up somewhere else living here now than people who actually grew up here.

It's all because of Phoenix-the retirees, and the simple dumbasses that move here from the midwest & the bible belt.

They really don't reflect native Arizonans at all, but they outnumber us.

These people also keep electing Joe Arpaio. I wish they would fucking leave.

[XxDITONExX]

LOL funnie babiee

[zndprophet]

This guy's actually my representative, know why?

because I live in North Phoenix around a bunch of obese rednecks that pop out kids like there's no tomorrow-a bunch of stupid, slow, confused old people and a bunch of miserable, divorced middle aged people.

And they all grew up on the other side of the country-but moved out here for some shitty job. I wish they would fucking leave.

[ExoneratedUndead]

lol run and run fast, that sucks

[MrCallipygous]

John Shadegg - today's Worst Person in the World

[zndprophet]

Now we know why republicans are republicans.

Because their parents leave them no choice.

[ChunAsperEndao]

Are you effing kidding me??!! Could he possibly have seriously believed that was a good idea?

The more starved someone becomes for rational arguments for their position, the more absurdly over-the-top the theatrics become.

Uh... Representative Shadegg? Mattie doesn't believe anything about public policy. She doesn't have a stance on the health care reform bill. She's a baby. The baby did not speak to you about these things. And if you believe she did, please, please seek help.

[jusprazem]

mattie says get insurance yourselves dont bother me.....wow...america is so caring for one another. lets hold one anothers shoulders and sing "america the beautiful..but your own your own".

[p00lman]

This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

[coachfun1987]

Rep. John Shadegg: my vote for douchebag of the day.

[WKaliberr]

fucking old scumbag creep

[biggerflexible]

Fuck him and that ugly ass baby.

[EuthanizeReligion]

This is fucked up beyond belief, Leave it to the Republicans to do something so fucking stupid.

That baby knows nothing and to use it as a prop for your pitiful political career is just something I have come to expect from Republicans.

[elrito1]

what is wrong with these people? he should just give the baby to the pharmaceutical companies....

[bleunt]

Well, too bad ignorant babies who just want to suck the microphone can't vote.

"If you want health care, pay for it yourselves."

[kelseywall]

Mattie says, "This guy has no idea."

[mythurmond]

shameless

[Mernie9]

Wow ... Mattie is so smart!
