I Didn't Take An Oath To Protect Insurance Companies Profits! Congresswoman Schakowsky

[fresh72]

I don't get what the big deal is you can either pay for your own insurance or choose the public option. It's not like they're not capable of running a healthcare system considering people in military have it that way

Blacks = 20% of the US population, but create 50% of the problems and muslims create the other 50%.

[roninofthemoon]

83% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

[MrObamaHATESwhites]

Oh no !

The insurance companies don't need to be bailed out.

[MrObamaHATESwhites]

Health care is not the issue. It's health.

DON'T BE A BEER GUZZLING FAT ASS !

[TheCottonTop]

I can't wait to stick a pitchfork in your gut, while teabagging your hippy mother.

[MrObamaHATESwhites]

An other brainwashed libtard with delusions of hope and change.

Oh NO ! A painful truth. No wander the country is goin to shit. Americans can't handle the facts or we would have listened to peter schiff back in 06.

[MrObamaHATESwhites]

HR3200 is unconstitutional, infringes my rights, and interferes with the free market.

HEY ASSHOLES ! if you need health care, GO TO COLLEGE AND GET A REAL JOB!

Oh no, getting rich is evil. God forbid learning how to be self sufficient, and not need welfare checks and big govt wiping my ass for me.

Buncha god damn, loser degenerates. That's all America is anymore, overweight, over privileged, self righteous, FAT SLOBS with an IM ENTITLED attitude.

Oh no a painful truth.

Block the thoughts

There are 3 ways to the power of mass influence. Either you be very rich like Warren Buffet and Steve Jobs, Very Talented like Britney Spears, Brad Pitt and George Clooney or A politician who struggles everyday to maintain the politically correct views in order to rise above while drowning in a sea of debates. Since most developed countries support capitalism and are pro democratic, i'd rather be rich or talented then i can be free.

[laodicea100]

You realize you put Britney spears Brad pitt & George clooney in the same sentence ? Plus you said Britney spears is talented. You were joking right ?

[Nightix]

I'm not and i wish i was. Britney spears is insanely popular and the masses love her. Its not up to me to decide who should be popular and who should'nt. But if Britney Spears leverages on her popularity then its good. But i doubt she will. A person can be so talented but nobody recognizes him.

[xyloid02]

Americans dont deserve GOOD Govt, because Americans are too stupid to vote for HONEST leaders.

Both the Pube and Lib partys are corrupt, but do Americans 'get it'?

Nope.

They are stupid, like I said.

Re-read my first line.

[mmaldon84]

And what country do you vote in? It's not like we have a choice who runs for government. Don't act like it's all Americans either. That just makes you look like an ignorant retard.

[kevin120857]

Republican, Conservative, Tea Bag, et. all are code words for The American Apartheid Movement.

[RomaniaTricolor]

@kevin120857 Teabags come in different colours and shapes and with different contents

[SelectedHandfull]

republicans make me sick.

[kayaksun357]

stop stealing the insurance companies hate competition

[brianlugen]

You took an oath to protect the free market, constitution

[MrBlack2283c]

Just because someone is robbing you without a gun doesn't mean it's adhering to principles of free mark or the Constitution. It just means their robbing you with no damned gun. In the end the results are the same. Your hands are up and your pockets are empty.

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

Republicans policy: NONONONONONONNONONONO NONO NO NONO NO! NONONONONONO NO and..... NO!

If not the people and the liberals had fought for progress we would still have slaves.

Change is always bad in a conservatives mind, no matter how the current state is. A pretty scary thought.

Its funny that the ONLY improvement he could mention from the rep regarding healthcare where something a dem president suggested.

Everyone knows medicare is great, who fought against it? The republicans...

Just sad.

[Beachnut32]

Why do Republicans often get associated with pro-slavery?

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

My space is limited, so my answer will be too:/

A conservative mind tend to think the status quo is always right. Change is scary. But as we know, status quo is rarely right. Try to find ANY time in history society as a whole was better than today.

Just look at conservatives and gays. How can they be this inhumane!? Are they less human? No, so why have less rights?

One word: Religion.

The bible, just happens to state that homosexuality is wrong. Guess what the bible state about slavery...

[admspooner]

Conservatives=no change. . . correct. Conservatives are the 'power majority.' people in power, that's why they don't want change, they are winning.

GOD never wanted his people to have government, he does not want anyone to have authority over another. Biblically, GOD always takes the side of the oppressed. Every OT prophet speaks to/against Israel on account of the oppressed foreigner or poor.

Sodom and Gam were destroyed for rape and abandoning poor. Ezekiel 16:49-50 not Homosexuality.

[admspooner]

Why did Jesus never speak against being Gay? Also, in the greek culture homosexuality was encouraged. Why did paul never speak out against homosexuality. (The word paul describes is rape, not homosexuality.)

Believing in GOD is worthless, demons and satan believe.

Putting Faith in GOD is giving him authority over your life.

Sin is holding onto that auth. for yourself.

Religion is creating authority over others.

look for a church where THEIR love for Christ overflows out into the world

[myfagan]

you relize that it was republicans that fought to end slavery.

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

Yes. Sadly not for noble reasons. Witch is easily verifiable by how they treated blacks rights though the 1900's.

Going against slavery was probably the only case strong enough to form the party, because they got the majority of the black support.

Also, we know slavery did not end because people suddenly got soft.

It was because of the industrial revolution. Machines do not riot, machines do not need food and shelter.

So, ideologically I think GOP was pretty pro slaves, it was a strategy.

[puddingsaurus]

I think you need to go back and take a freshman highschool American History class, and maybe find a counselor to talk to.

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

Why is that?

[thisisblasphamy]

that was a totally different republican party myfrien

[jgaltut]

We will never have enough food, water, energy or health care until we redesign our world to look at ALL people's needs over a FEW people's profits.

The government is NOT the answer either. All governments are bought and paid for by the international bankers and corporations.

We need to look at the ROOT CAUSE of all these problems and that is the monetary system. Without money the only question is do we have the resources and technology to create an abundance of life's necessities, YES WE DO!

[motorolarules]

end free trade

[TheElefaunt]

I more then worry about the insurance companies,

but I fear the the pharmecutical companies

who back Obama's specific plan,

lets go with dennis kucinich's healtcare plan

[MaryJesusJoseph]

"It's not irrelevant because I'm asking"--the ego on Chris Matthews!

[macman851]

That's why I don't normally watch his show

[Smartassawhip]

There is nothing wrong with the tax charged to people who do not have any insurance. This is a way in which they will contribute to their own health care should they have an emergency. Currently the tax payers pick up the tab for these people 100%. Most Private Ins. covers abortion. The Public Option doesn't as there is a law that forbids it.

[macman851]

There should be a difference between "If you let this pregnancy come to term you might/will die" (because it's a tubal pregnancy, mother has diabetes, etc.) abortion and "I'M JUST NOT READY FOR KIDS YET" abortion

[Smartassawhip]

I agree with you 100% and so does the president that is why they call him a baby killer because he refused to vote in favor of a bill that did not include these types of exceptions when it came to late term abortions.

[ohiopsdfordman]

Garlannd - Gitmo is still open. We still have 1500-2000 Us troops there. :/

[Garlannd]

Anyone ever wonder what happened to the patriot act? It was put in place by George W. Bush' regime but hasn't been revoked by Obama yet. This really needs to be brought up, I mean gitmo was gotten rid of but our rights and privacy is still being Violated by the patriot act!

[MooseOfReason]

She took an oath to defend the Constitution.

Oops.

[ProgressiveDemiGod]

thank goodness someone is still standing up for the american people

[311ftw]

orionx26, to get an idea of zero's commie mind, check the vid where hollywoods crooks pledge aliegance to serve the potus(zero).

look it up,i couldnt look for more then a minute.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

There is not Health Care epidemic in the United States.

This is all a big HOAX by the Obama Administration.

[ykw68]

sicuro? non credo proprio......

[Orionx26]

Wow did he really just make a comparison from insurance to drive and insurance to live? Its a privilege to drive and I have a right to life, that right is my choosing and the way i want to deal with it. No Government will be telling me that I am to be force to take care of myself.

[PennyRoyaleTea]

I'm 19, almost know nothing about health care, so don't really have a clue what's going on here. The man being surprised by the womans answer "No" doesn't surprise me though. Politicians lie- and I always heard that growing up, but I understand it better now. Makes sense.

Anyway, can someone guide me to learning more about this? Through PM or otherwise?

[FortunateSon87]

I love how conservatives always suddenly come to love factcheckDOTorg the very moment the facts just happen to come down on their side the 1 out of 50 times that happens.

[truthfreedom4all]

Oh, you mean that liberal website controlled by the Annenberg Foundation. Oh yea, lots of facts there huh!

I love it how liberals try and label anyone who disagrees with their messiah a conservative.

You'd better learn what the INDEPENDENT party is real quick. You idiots on the far left and far right have helped to screw this country up. No common sense in either camp.

[PennyRoyaleTea]

You're using sarcasm to show your detest for labels but you use one for "liberals"...

I'm only young & just starting to get into politics but I hate this old time idea of "left" vs "right" "Republican" vs "democrat" etc etc. I hate it because over time we have seen the blending of both so talking about Repubs or Demos in general or contrast just doesn't work anymore. It's all a bunch of bull!!

[truthfreedom4all]

Yes, there is no difference between the political parties. The far left (neolibs) and far right (neocons) are almost identical. Both for big govt. and wars.

Make sure you register as an INDEPENDENT and don't believe a damn thing politicians say. They are good actors and liars. The majority of politicians work for the banksters and special interests. They don't give a damn about we the people. Bush & Obama both supported the bailouts and they have stolen 23.7 TRILLION dollars from the people.

[FortunateSon87]

lol what are you talking about? Representative Chris Smith IS a conservative.

I am an independent, as in unaffiliated, so it's apparently you who is branding those who disagree with you.

And if you're trying to say the Annenberg Foundation injects bias into factcheckDOTorg, then why do they tell the truth about liberals when they're wrong?

It's delusional, factless, paranoid, isolated people who are hurting our democracy and country.

[truthfreedom4all]

And Matthews? Liberal freak!

As for the Annenberg Foundation, YOU NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK on the history of this foundation and many others.

If you believe without researching for yourself, then YOU are delusional.

GET LOST!

[FortunateSon87]

Except I actually do my own research, buddy. Thanks for playing though.

[truthfreedom4all]

Yes, you read what the Annenberg Foundation says and call it research... ha, ha, ha, .......

[FortunateSon87]

Except not. I read what they say and then I go and check it out, like I do for a large multitude of other sources.

This was fun though.

[truthfreedom4all]

Let me guess, your other sources are Chris Matthews and MSNBC/GE

[FortunateSon87]

Yes, among more than a dozen others including FOX News, CNN, C-SPAN, PBS and several print publications.

[truthfreedom4all]

Hmmm, ever research foreign news sources? Maybe the library of congress to read the bills yourself or how about voting records?

I don't trust mainstream media in this country at all. If you do, good luck.

[FortunateSon87]

Oh, well, if we're including the Internet, these are the first 5 sites I have bookmarked in my Govt. Tracking folder in Firefox:

thomasDOTlocDOTgov

govtrackDOTus

opencongressDOTorg

opensecretsDOTorg

sourcewatchDOTorg (not always reliable but sometimes I find it useful)

along with

projectsDOTwashingtonpostDOTco­m

SLASHpotus-tracker

And I would watch more foreign news but I don't have easy access, other than the Internet, where I do get some of that media.

[truthfreedom4all]

Excellent!  I read those sites as well.

[grailqwest]

why would you include a bunch of right wing morons as a scource for real news?

Kieth Olbermann is more knowlegeable and articulate than all the other news scources combined

[FortunateSon87]

It's good to know what others saying, but I don't think Olbermann is half as good as you're making him out to be, and the way you generalize "all the other news sources" is laughable...

[truthfreedom4all]

The insurance companies & big pharma wrote the damn bill.

[Squirelbutt]

shut the hell up matthews and let them talk.

[truthfreedom4all]

Matthews needs to go back on his psycho meds.

[Squirelbutt]

Yeah truth there..
