Senator Reid on Transparency and Health Care Bill

[reefseeker]

What a ASS.. out of his mind, lost, confused, too much LSD or something, can't even read or count. OMG transparent? LOL lets stick a camera were they talk , debate, make it illegal to close doors. OH yea and provide barf bags

A little more modern for you...

May 6, 1960

President Dwight Eisenhower signs Republicans Civil Rights Act of 1960, overcoming 125-hour, around-the-clock filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats

June 9, 1964

Republicans condemn 14-hour filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act by U.S. Senator and former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), who still serves in the Senate

Obama's, Bernanke's, Reid's and many other political figures definition of transparency seems to be quite different from mine.

Mine is more like that of Ron Paul, which is rarely considered.

This man is a complete enemabag.

I am so looking forward to casting a ballot against Sen Reid.

[mcv47]

So, was this a press conference? Were 'reporters' present to correct him? Republicans were shut out 100% and all of their work was done behind closed doors. Hello, Bueller?? Bueller?? The bigger the lie, the more often you tell it, the more people will believe it.

Words like "transparency" and "defecit neutral" don't actually mean anything. They're just neat buzzwords that politicians think the American people want to hear, even if they aren't true.

This fraud's own constituents don't want him.

2010 Harry just go away.... No one will remember you. People will remember how you wanted to destroy this great country. Go away, just go away.

[Sarastro42]

The thing I think is sad about all this is that the nation's divisions are festering over a silly social policy issue. Can't we destroy this nation over a meaningful issue like liberty versus tyranny instead of insurance coverage?

[cat00012000]

I'd say health insurance is a life or death issue. That isn't big?

[mcv47]

How many jobs are being lost each week? Those people lose their insurance. Shouldn't we be more concerned about unemployment at this point? Eighty per cent of the population like their insurance. What we have needs some tweaking not a complete overhaul.

[cat00012000]

That's what conservatives said about slavery and every other inequality since the beginning of time. There are always a few people that the past works better for. They want to go backward not forward. The rich have one goal - to keep things the way they are. Who wants to give up their place in line when they're first. Hey, I'd probably be the same way. That wouldn't mean that I was right.

[mcv47]

Um, you need to read some history .

October 13, 1858

During Lincoln-Douglas debates, U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas (D-IL) states: I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother, or any kin to me whatever; Douglas became Democratic Partys 1860 presidential nominee

[mcv47]

April 16, 1862

President Lincoln signs bill abolishing slavery in District of Columbia; in Congress, 99% of Republicans vote yes, 83% of Democrats vote no

[mcv47]

July 17, 1862

Over unanimous Democrat opposition, Republican Congress passes Confiscation Act stating that slaves of the Confederacy shall be forever free

[mcv47]

even more modern? From Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and idol of progressives everywhere:

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We dont want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.

[Sarastro42]

I'm willing to admit that it's an important issue. Sadly I'm a defense and foreign policy nut so domestic concerns are of a tertiary importance to me.

reid is just another paid for tool

Transparency like when you jack*sses didn't have the addition 300 pages. you all added at 3AM to the crap in trade bill, for review before that mornings vote?

Like the Health care bills, both written by LOBBYISTS.

If their in office, vote them out in 2010. Maybe both parties will get the point. REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, instead of special interests.
