Dartmouth town hall meeting

[H1TMANactual]

Damn that reporter is slammin hot!

[john51880]

Please vote for Sean Bielat!

[Stephreads]

The real problem here is that this is a country divided. Check out the plan that Mitt Romney put into place in Mass. just a few years ago. It is almost identical to this health care plan.

If you're getting your information on what's in the bill from the media, I would direct you to the Library of Congress website, where you can read it for yourself.

[The8thDOCTOR]

when Bush shovelled the Patriot act tho , and decided to go bomb IRAQ, was there a public discussions like these town hall meetings?

I guess human lives and your rights arnt as important as sticking up for Proctor & Gamble and Big Oil

[meccaturbo]

@The8thDOCTOR, get your fucking dick out of your ass, you retarded loser.

[The8thDOCTOR]

I guess that you have an objection to affordable Health care.

why is that?

[meccaturbo]

@The8thDOCTOR, I don't at all.  I have a problem with low intelligence idiots tinkering with the system.

[meccaturbo]

@The8thDOCTOR, and also, because the system works pretty well as it is. I'm in the low income bracket and I have good medical care. These fucking hustlers in the government are trying to brainwash people that the system's broken. For one thing, when we're in as much debt as we are, you don't fucking tinker with the system in a way that's going to increase the national debt. And, that's just what these morons are doing.

[The8thDOCTOR]

but what happens when you insurance will only pay out $20k of a $50k cancer treatment.

If you in low income then your screwed and have to sell the house that you have worked damned hard for.

don't let the rich, who can afford HC, tell you what to think about

[meccaturbo]

I have to wonder if you're even a doctor....you can't spell properly, leading me to believe you are uneducated.

[The8thDOCTOR]

I forgot to say "your", instead, I wrote "you" and omitted the "r"

sorry if that was important to you,

but nitpicking on spelling is just a distraction from my previous post that you haven't addressed.

You can keep up the personal attacks, I don't care.

I will just reply with the facts that you are dodging, so I say again,

what happens when youR insurance will only pay out $20k of a $50k cancer treatment?

[meccaturbo]

Not nitpicking at all, retard. If you claim to be an intelligent doctor, then you should speak and write accordingly. That's very basic, and if you can't comprehend that, then you really are dumb. I maintain that the healtcare system here is not bad at all - it's among the best in the world. For the government to be meddling with this right now in the midst of unheard of deficits is very stupid.

[The8thDOCTOR]

Please highlight when I claimed to be a doctor & yet again you dodged the question

what happens when your insurance will only pay out $20k of a $50k cancer treatment?

You are just quoting Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly.

please try to formulate some  thoughts that are original, or maybe thats a problem, especially to someone that sees the word doctor and immediately assumes that the writer is a doctor.

[The8thDOCTOR]

2 days & no answer!

take a seat  son

[meccaturbo]

If they'd get the deficit under control I'd be fine with changing healthcare laws, but right now it is not an appropriate time to do so given the extreme upfront cost, and how it will add to the already huge deficits. In principle, I'm not against it, but right now given our financial situation, I am very much against it and it represents how stupidly naive Obama is.

[meccaturbo]

I don't have an objection at all. Obama and co. are running up the deficit with this "affordable health care" plan before there's even a chance for it to have any financial benefits. That's extremely irresponsible, so no, I am not in favor of it. We have to pay our bills and bring down the ridiculously high deficit first. For him to be even thinking about adjusting healthcare now while we have such record deficits is just plain stupid, but not surprising given how naive he is.

[johnny5713]

bleu north, what the fuck is a global warmer?

[Ecksntrick8]

You don't know?

[BleuNorth]

LOL @ johnny .......I have no idea what a global warmer is, but global warming is where the polar ice caps are melting away......among other earth changing events. :)

[dark0690]

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why people are literaly dying because insurance companies drop them for pre-existing conditions. YET, the insurance companies have gone up 300%. the CEOs of these companies make more in a day than you make in a year. and these fucking morons are sitting here telling us about how his "nazi" health care reform isnt a good idea. SO, if you have a better fucking idea to not let American citizens just keel over because they dont have enough money, please let me know.

[johnny5713]

holy shit dark!!! people are LITERALLY dying?...wow, we gotta get our top guys on this...I mean we are gonna have to really pull our resources here...we need to kill that expedition looking for the fountain of youth and concentrate on this nazi death thing...lol

[dark0690]

hmmm sarcasm on the internet, way to suck at life. whatever im not even going to debate this issue anymore... you idiot right wing morons can keep getting raped by insurance companies. Google Joe the Republican. it'll explain why conservatives are complete retards. they don't even realize how much we actually do for them.

[meccaturbo]

@dark0690, liberals are just as retarded as conservatives....if you think only conservatives are bad, you need a good hard kick in the head.

[jaktigmidblinx]

republicans are pieces of shyt.

[meccaturbo]

@jaktigmidblinx, yeah....your democratic party has an anal prober named Barney Bunghole as your representative.

[BleuNorth]

LOL the whole lot of you are lambs to the slaughter!....not by the republicans, not by Obama or the Dems, but by the cancerous hate this country has for itself. In my mind I guess it is good that Global Warming is happening, or better yet perhaps with any grace from God and asteroid does hit the planet and wipe out this whole mess called the human race!

[connatiah]

the Beast has risen. Mass confusion. Leaders that act like children. As far as mass destruction I certainly do not wish that upon the children of God. The difference in right and wrong is not apparent. Why would anyone vote against their own well-being to fix a system that is broken. The devil is the master of confusion. Insurance companies only exist to rob the masses. They have no other purpose except feeding themselves. Why do insurance companies have to right to overrule your doctor.

[rassclaat23]

...apparently anyone who wants to help other people is brain washed.... It's sad. this is all basically because people are selfish as fuck... and dont want to share. lol that simple. People must think its easy to escape poverty. ha it's almost a joke to me. whatever, i dont have to deal with it. Im in canada living a life where if i'm sick, I know i'll get taken care of no matter what. AND i know that every canadian citizen has the same fortune.

[brandon911111111111]

it is not a nazi policy the death panel thing is a myth republicans made up and yes the bill isnt paying for itself but i think a little more taxes for health care that you will get even if your sick already is much better than paying a little cash for health care where hmo's are looking for any retarted reason to not give you the help you need besides its a public option you dont have to take it and whats so bad about a public option the english and french have it and they have way better care

[LoungeLizardLouie]

Frank, Answer the question you lisping dolt !!!

[garymonay]

barney cant answer loser

[LaRoucheisright]

It may be true that many people are confused, but there is no confusion about the collapse of the economy. Why does Frank continue to support a nazi policy?

Yes Mr. Uranus we still want you to answer the question.

[coffeefish]

He always treats people this way.

[coffeefish]

Hello 4th congressional district!!!!!!!!

Are the folks from Newton, MA the only ones showing up to vote?

[prodigee411]

You're so sure of everything...you think you know everything and 95% of you know nothing. When healthcare costs get out of control, social security becomes an insolvent program, the world uncontrollably warms and our education system completely degrades, you'll regret the foreign wars and senseless policies this country focuses on. America has been on decline and will continue to be, as long as, there are people with your toxic, destructive ideas. 95% of you...

[prodigee411]

95% of the American public is intellectually deficient...it's pretty scary how misinformed and childish 40 year old+ American adults can be. I can't even believe that people would agree with the women's hitler commentary, which was blatantly disrespectful, since Barney Frank is Jewish. You people make me sick and I can understand why citizens across the world despise 95% of you.

[85Pats]

I suggest you read the book "Liberal Fascisim" by Jonah Goldberg. You need to balance your point of veiw. You're too monolithic. All of you are. And Barney Frank is an arrogant douchbag.

[moneyman237952]

balance your point of view yet all you read is right wing propoganda. lol idiot.

[85Pats]

Little do you know that you're being brainwased by left-wing propaganda. So everything you believe right, and anyone who disagrees is an idiot? You're a typical arrogant liberal who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

[prodigee411]

You're too misinformed, finish college and get back to me.

[85Pats]

Why? So I can be brainwashed by left-wing professors?

[LaRoucheisright]

The question was fair, and uncle milo is just kissing up to Barney, hoping maybe he will get a little reach around. hahaha

The IMAC is a private board which Immanuel and Obama have made clear to congress is the one thing they insist on. The IMAC Death Panel is the one to decide who get how much care. That is exactly what Adolph Hitler did.

It is much too difficult to get elected officials to make those decisions. Pelosi and Barney Frank would do it, but, better to get unelected deciders.

[DrZodas]

LOL. I like the name "FUMrBush". Very cool. Now then, I was wondering where all this piss and vinegar was when Dubya was Fking up the country. Now Obama is in office and making the WHOLE world a better place and the republicans and especially the right-wing, are up in arms and actually speaking up - or are they just whining?

[usdryone]

I would gladly trade my "do nothing" republican congressman for Barney Frank any day. I live in Oklahoma and let me tell you something that's shocking. We have some of the most poorest people in the nation and we have 77 counties in our state. All 77 counties voting for Bush twice and President Obama did not carry one single county in November. The people who need healthcare the most is the poor idiots in my "red state" who vote heavily republican every time.

[goatboi]

oh yeah side with Larouche. that's who those people were. they were Larouche supporters. They call Obama a Nazi and then offer an even more than Marxist plan. It's not the fact that they compared Hitler and Obama, though I do think the President should be respected, it's the facts that these people back a guy who accused the queen of england of drug trafficking and proposes to test everyone for AIDs and have the infected quarentined. That's who you're siding with right now. way to go.

[gunner0202]

Just the Lefties, not the Dems necessarly , showing their true colors.

[scienceofthings]

So what? People had bush compared to Hitler at every turn during his presidency and now it's horrendous! Fairness is a bitch, eh? Shut up Representative Frank & do what your told, that is what REPRESENTING people is all about, so do your job as you are told. I don't care for the Reps or the Dems. Many people don't want any bill passed. If politicians wanted to serve their country well, the best thing for them to do is sit down & shut up. Frank is arrogant to do what he thinks is best.

[UncleMilo]

Barney Frank did represent the people by telling that little moron where to stuff it!

Go Barney Frank! Sock it to the idiots on the right!

[scienceofthings]

Uh, no, you want to be ruled by political bureaucracies, move to Europe, the people count here and they are just now waking up from a dormant state in the MOST appropriate hour to scream and yell what they want (or don't want, in this case) and the politicians had better listen. The Socialist/Communist/Marxist reach exceeds their grasp (and understanding), the Republicans are stupid & weak and all of them have awakened a sleeping giant...middle America!

[skramdiks]

We are starting to figure out that vile screaming and isults are the only way you lefties can communicate. It seemmed to be all you did during Bush's 2 terms in office. You are going to hear alot more during Obamas' single term wonder.

[UncleMilo]

Troll troll troll.

[MrExnihilo]

As bad as the healthcare industry is, I would rather not have the government interfere with it. The role of the government is to protect the rights of the citizens, NOT to take over private institutions, as is the case under Comrade Citizen-chiefs Obama and Pelosi. Obama has never run any company successfully, so he isn't qualified to tell businesses how to run theirs.

[FUMrBush]

You need to crawl under a rock and die.

[OoohLaLaLamour]

Ugh, how did a thieving left-wing jewish homosexual pervert get voted into that power position to begin with? Who put him there?

[UncleMilo]

Easy, some Americans are actually adults who want the best people in office. Not all of us are children resorting to homophobic insults and cowardly racist judgments.

So... why didn't your parents raise you better?

[moonphoenix1]

ref4g, you are a lazy trust fund baby, that doesn't deserve anything you receive.

[kryp10yt]

Dimwits arguing with dimwits its all the same. Political parties are idiotic and counterproductive.

[fatkidsgettinghurt]

Why are the Democrats arguing with the Republican base? Don't they know it's hopeless arguing with dimwits?

[RandomScholar]

You will have to be more specific than that. Page 445 of 1017 of my version of H.R. 3200 is defining "Accredited care organizations", "physicians", "Other physician organizational models", and "other services". This page is part of Title III (promoting primary care, mental health services, and coordinate care), section 1301(Accountable care pilot program). I see nothing in this program that remotely evisions nazism, death camps, etc.

Exactly what were you hoping I and others would see?

[RandomScholar]

I can't say I am for/against health care reform . My issue is that IDIOTS are dominating the discussion. How can any thinking being equate nazism to health care reform? Why are people still talking about death panels which were debunked by many news outlets (CBS, factcheck...) and the part in the legislation that was distorted is now gone? I would also tell the loudest demonstrators that in a democracy you will NOT always have the leader you want. Deal with it and DISCUSS legit issues.

[zerobane3]

please explain page 445 of hr3200 then?

[nyankee2003]

it's hard to explain legislation to furniture.

[red4g]

Your both fools. The majority of people who voted for this guy had no idea what he stood for, and judging by your comments neither do you. Otown, this has nothing to do with race, but when you cant win with ideas, pull the race card. Thats what I always say.

Iron lungs. Morally baknrupt?....This coming from a clinton supporter no doubt.

Physically Bankrupt? You clearly dont have a problem with that or we would be on the same side of this argument. How does almost 2 trillion in new debt sound.

[nyznicca]

lol @ the clinton comment......especially the fact you are a republican and most of the faggoty republican politicians are getting caught either fucking hookers....trying to fuck guys in the bathroom....or planning on fucking lil kids bootyholes. now shut the fuck up

[red4g]

Nyznicca, Your comments lead me to believe you are a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist. Whatever you do you clearly have a lot of education.

In a few years, after you graduate high school, and get a job paying actual taxes, then you should come back and try again. Its amazing what a little life experience will do to ones political views. By the way, if you have a problem with homosexuals, you probably don't want to stand too close to Barney Frank. FYI thats the guy in the video.

[nyznicca]

Now the funny thing is....I graduated with a college degree 5 years ago....and already pay taxes not only on what I earn but what I invest in......I believe the tax system is broken.....capital taxes need to be raised and actually there should be a flat tax for people making more than 200k+

[red4g]

No, the really funny thing is that you have a degree that I would assume you paid for, and yet you can hardly form a sentence. Apparently the education system is "broken" as well.

You say you want to raise capital gains taxes but have a flat rate for "wealthy" people. How is this going to work since wealthy people are the ones getting hit with capital gains taxes. Why wouldn't it be fair for everyone to pay the same flat tax. Right now 5% of the people carry almost 70% of the tax burden.

[nyznicca]

Ofcourse the education system is broken, we all know that. An average investor like myself whos not rich out of his ass has to be capital gain tax just like the rich, now the only difference is that I am not making billions of dollars like the "RICH" people. When top 5% of the population own 90% of the wealth than ofcourse they will have to pay more in taxes. Barney "Gay" Frank is right, arguing with you nuts is like arguing with the dinner table. USELESS!

[red4g]

I'm Glad you can admit you where ripped off when you got your degree.

Those rich bastards also employ a large majority of the people in this country, and when their companies are not profitable, they stop hiring and start laying off. So your right, why wouldn't you tax them even more than they already are. Why do those people have less of a right to keep the fruits of their labor than you do. Because your jealous. Sounds like a good reason to me. What ever happened to self -sufficiency?

[nyznicca]

There's no reason in this world for a CEO of United Health Group to be making $190,000 an hour. I currently have United Healthcare from my employer and my jaw fucking dropped when I found out he made 700-800 million in a year via salary and stock option in the company....I mean what kind of economic system do we have in this country when CEO's of healthcare companies are leeching off billions of dollars a year. Pathetic.

[ironlungs33]

My impression of trustfundbaby Red4g:

"I have zero obligations to anyone else because I don't have to work and my family has plenty of old money. Pity me, I'm rich! If you keep taxing me then I will have a little less money and not be able to buy a third Mustang Cobra in Tangerine Orange to drive at sunset that matches the skyline. Pity me, I have all my needs taken care of but I still like to complain. I'm rich Beeeaatch!"

[red4g]

You couldn't be more wrong. For starters Red 4 G was my call sign in the military. I was a scout. My obligations are to my 3 kids and my wife. I drive a honda civic Vp (Thats Value Pack). I live with in my means.

Like the rest of your posts, you have no idea what your talking about.

My turn..... You sound like a middle aged hippy who couldn't adapt when the computer came out. Now your broke and live with your cats, pissed off at the world for your failures.

How did I do?

[ironlungs33]

red4g,

I had a pretty good idea you werent that well off. However, the point I was making is that you wish that was you and you're argument is only assisting those kinds of people. If you made $10,000,000 a year there would be much less to complain about, no? Well, my idea is with wealth comes responsibility and right now the

money is increasingly being concentrated in the ultra rich.

I live within my means, BY CHOICE. Glad to hear you were in the military, what do you do now?

[red4g]

I am very well off. Just not monetarily. I choose that as well. I could work 23 hours a day and be loaded. I choose not to.

The problem is not giving up money to people who need it. The problem is giving it to the government to give out to whom they see fit. Useing programs that are born losers. How do you justify that? If the American Red Cross said that 5 cents out of every dollar went to the poor, you would never give again. Now you tell me what makes giving it to the government any better.

[red4g]

Your blind faith in a government that fails at every enterprise they touch is unbelievable. You seem like a fairly intelligent person. How is it possible that you can honestly believe the tripe that is being put out from Washington? Should we try this because welfare works so well, or social security, medicare, medicade? How many times do they have to screw you over before you get it. This health care model is unsustainable. Even the CBO says that.

[Raccoon39]

red4g, just give it up. You can't talk to them. You don't have the simple one word slogan that obama had "change." A slogan that he never explained, yet all the small minded people fell for.

Hitler said it the best. "reduce politics to simple slogans that even the most mindless of the population will be able to repeat it. A slogan should also be repeated over and over." Also know as the Mob mentality.

[ironlungs33]

>The majority of people who voted for this guy >had no idea what he stood for,

Quite clearly you're out of touch. I knew what he stood for so did MOST of the people who make up the majority of AMERICANS.

You elect a person based on judgement, and whether you believe they'll come to the correct conclusion on anything and everything they might have to deal with as President. You ought to show him some respect - he is OUR PRESIDENT.

I think he's doing a HELLUVA job considering everything.

[red4g]

Yeah Yeah I know, HOPE and Change.

Should I show him respect like, you libs showed Bush over the last 8 years? If so I'm going to have to start coming up with better names.

How about hippocrite to start?

[FUMrBush]

How about FUMR Bush you sniveling cunts. What you gonna due when health care reform passed? Cry like the cunts that you are I think.

[mikelunz]

what is FUMR?

[ironlungs33]

You say you all want YOUR country back?

Its not YOUR country friends. It's OUR country. After 8 years of Bush / Cheney steering the Country towards the pre-emptive invasion & torture policies that have left us morally bankrupt as well as physically bankrupt - the MAJORITY of AMERICANS voted. We've taken OUR country back and were turning it around. Quit complaining - YOUR policies nearly lead us to self destruction!!!

[Raccoon39]

What about Clintons practice of rendition. Secretly sent prisoners to be tortured in another country.

You also forgot the atempted world trade centers bombings didn't you. As we all can see Clintons doing nothing really worked.

Invasion. It's obama that wants to get rid of missile defense.

Morally bankrupt you say. If so where is all the money coming from for the stimulas bill, Cash for clunkers, GM take over and now wants 1 trillion for healthcare and X amount for another stimulus bill.

[ironlungs33]

Your response indicates you think I'm right. Instead of defending the points that I brought up you brought up a completely different era with separate issues entirely which can also be discussed - but one point at a time.

By conveniently skipping over my important points on premptive invasion policies and torture being OK, you show your true colors as a neoconservative thinker who would've probably gotten us in a nuclear war if we followed your logic.

[ironlungs33]

I personally would rather have spent all that money that went into IRAQ to find the nonexistant weapons (that were of zero threat to us) here in AMERICA. You can't possibly believe that the solution is to go into every country we don't like and carry out a 10 year war with them so they Democratize and elect Hamas?

Or that torturing civilian Iraqis isn't going to lead to more tortured Americans. Torture is winning the hearts and minds?

I understand why you skipped over those issues.

[ironlungs33]

The America you think you know isn't the America that exists. Thank GOD! The forefathers risk their lives to come over here and create a society based on FREEDOM, and you actually evoke their name to allow our own gov't to spy on us? You want to censor what I can and can't read? Thats BUSH CHENEY and the Patriot Act. You voted for it!

[ironlungs33]

I have Republican friends who are smart, have valid ideas, and we actually agree on many issues. I have Liberal friends with whom I disagree with.

The lies on both sides aren't good for OUR country. Obama came into this realizing that, and for YOUR God Damn own benefit hes trying to patch this Country back together and actually listening to the conservative viewpoints to see where its possible to find middle ground (unlike the arrogance of Cheneys "I'm right, you're wrong attitude")

[ironlungs33]

It's both of our country, so stop perpetuation the lies and if you want to influence the man WHO WAS ELECTED BY A HEALTHY MAJORITY OF educated AMERICANS, then do it as an adult. Don't lie! Let your ideas stand up for themselves and lets have a healthy debate one point at a time.

The only fault of Obama that I see thus far is going into this situation expecting Republicans to try to work with him. Some have, but what they have not yet realized (and soon will) is HE DOESN'T NEED THEM.

[ironlungs33]

I'm actually in the minority of people who are happy that he did reach out and try. Like I said, I know Republicans arent the Devil and have many middle ground and conservative viewpoints. BUT the Republicans are acting like they were relected if you ask me. Obama was elected to carry out reform and if the Republicans want any say whatsoever in how it turns out, they better stop the lies and pissing in the pot or they'll get bulldozed and then argue about why they made the wrong move.

[red4g]

No, but he does need the rest of the Dems, and he cant even get that right. Even a lot of them cant choke down this garbage.

[ironlungs33]

Well, you're partially right. I disagree with your choice of "garbage" as a term to describe helping people out. But I agree that alot of Dems are being way too self absorbed, if Obama wants to make a compromise to get it passed they BETTER go with him. He knows he can't please everyone 100% but those that vote against it because they're only getting 70% are the obstruction. Pass the damn bill! ITS WHAT WE ELECTED YOU TO DO!

[otownsteelers]

These people want their country back!!! You remember the country they are talking about don't you.....Segregation,slavery,Ji­m Crow,lynchings and a white President. Too bad bitches that place doesn't exist anymore not even in South Africa.

[sk8bow]

hey obama, keep it up!

though your populairity has gone down a bit, there are millions and millions on your side.

there is no such thing as right and wrong in this matter.

the only side that is right is the side that yells the loudest.

so thank you obama.

i know you are not perfect but i'm still glad you are the president.

[xjlmt]

Dumbfucks. I live in a nation of dumbfucks. I'm happy to say that's one thing I can change; I can either leave here or work on eliminating some of these dumbfucks.

[sk8bow]

now that's are real comment. eliminate the ones that don't agree with you.

crazy.

[f12key]

Stop letting government create problems then rewarding them by giving even more control to them! The whole reason everything is a mess is because of Government.... so stop promoting government as a solution to everything! They are not a solution, they are an orchestrated cause! Stop being blind to the system that seeks to take the last of your money, power and rights you might have left.

[Scottzzzy]

How can such intelligent people keep electing such a  mush mouth idiot?? Is the gene pool really getting that shallow?? If he is so smart and informed, why does he continually fumble all over himself when he tries to make a point?

[transcriptionfactor6]

Go Barney Go,

This mob of thugs is promoting the agenda of big insurance, at the bequest of Fox , and the Wall Street Journal. There are billions of dollars involved and big business gets these imbeciles to do their bidding by promoting fear and lies. Dont you idiots out there want affordable fair health care or do you believe big business will watch your back?

[f12key]

Insurance companies are regulated through the very same government that is promissing better health care. The government can't manage medicare, medicade, SSI and other program for beans; the government caters to lobbist and not individuals; the government set up the current legislation that is causing the health care cost to skyrocket;  yet the dems want the governement to run health care! LOL! Why not just have the government legislated it correctly and without corruption instead?

[sk8bow]

.......are regulated through the very same government that is promissing better health care. The government can't manage medicare, medicade, SSI and other program for beans;......

your opinion. i'm sure a lot of old people like it.

[f12key]

You are not going to get affordable insurance from this government. Some of you don't seem to understand that for some reason. What you will get is either higher costs or less service. It is this government that legislates the insurance companies and has caused this whole problem to begin with. Don't hand your health care to a government that created the problem. Instead insist they clean up the corruption in legislation and lobbying and stay out of health care. That is your only hope.

[sk8bow]

"....instead insist they clean up the corruption in legislation and lobbying and stay out of health care. That is your only hope."

i don't feel like that. shit, you have health care and so you feel comfortable. i don't and i need to feel comfortable too.

you can only go so far in a PURELY capitalistic system. there are drawbacks to it.

and don't get all "oh you communists! blah blah blah"

i call you a mind controlling nazi for labeling everything you don't like so it goes your way.

[red4g]

Yes we are a bunch of thugs that want our country back. Only a true idiot could look at the governments track record on managing social programs, and then ask for more. You cant possibly be this dense. Name one government program that works and is not in the red doing it and I would at least consider what they are selling. Big buisness doesnt have to watch my back. If I dont like what they are selling I go somewhere else. Just run along little lemming, right off the cliff with your buddies.

[mtnmanquin]

The reason people want this health care is they think its going to be free. Its just like the people who live on welfare. They think there entitled to it. No one wants to work for it. The Gov's roll should be in putting limit on what hospitals charge and stopping these crazy lawsuits.

[zzzkoszzz]

Keep it up Frank.

You're up for re-election in 2010.

[furtive1369]

It's so nice to see Barney stand up to these 912 nutbaggers!!!!! Go Barney Go!!!

[Nickk361]

Barney is so gay

[oneirishpoet]

and Nickk is a dick, so it's a perfect fit!

[Nickk361]

Yo Blarney boy go have a drink

[ironlungs33]

Of all of the points to bring up and you bring up gayness. Be proud of your cultivated sense of humor, you'd fit right in with my 5th grade cousin and his buddies.

[Organjic]

People are waking up! I just hope people don't let this be their only issue they're outraged about.

I wonder if someone asked why HR1207 isn't being introduced to the floor by this pig...

Anyone noticing those Obama-Joker signs? hee, hee

I understand your frustrations, we have an overwhelming amount of things to do. The health issue is paramount though. If we can get a meaningful bill from that I will be happy! Lets not try to do too many things at once and fail at all of them. THIS issue on the table has NEVER been accomplished in America and we're behind the rest of the world at providing health care coverage.

My point to you guys - if you support this then focus on helping advance it instead of criticizing.

Are these people going to continue to let Frank make fools of them?  He talks/acts like he is of nobility... What an asshole!!!

"Bawney Fwank" talks with a huge gay speech impediment. Our representatives have gravely underestimated the genuine anger of the American people. The poiticians are way out of touch with the people they were elected to represent! Their days are numbered...countdown time.......2010 & 2012!

sure Giovannass, keep thinkin' that way cuz the vast majority of Americans want to be saved from greedy fuckin' Repig mo-rans like you...

[GiovannaNYC]

Hey you freaking moron you like socialism? Suck up all the collateral bullshit that comes with it. I dont t give a fuck. I'm moving out of this country in a couple of years. I'm done with all you ignorant Americans

[praizjesus]

Good! Get the fuck out~!~~na na na na hey hey hey goodbye!!! You're either headed to an industrialized country with "socialized medicine" or a 3rd world country. You are the dining room table.

My relatives helped build this country they fought and died for it. I am happy they can't see what you un-American ingrates did to this country! There will NEVER be an America like that again, NEVER! I have been on the front lines fighting politically for a long time. America is not what it used to be. The "spirit" and the people who gave it its legacy are gone. Gone forever. There will never be another country in the world like the US. I love it. I loved it

[surgedragon]

it's a asham that you feel that way. sure the racist and sexist country you loved is long gone, but at least you overzealous conservatives are just a crazy as you used to be. I'm sorry you hate poor seople so much that you don't wish them to be healthy. go ahead and leave the country you no longer love, and enjoy hating americans just like the taliban and al qaeda do. boy fox news brain washed you good.
