7-30-2009 - Pence on MSNBC, Discusses Health Care Reform "Deal"

[midevalcheese]

The prez is controlled by the owners of the FEDERAL RESERVE.

This has been going on for at least 100 years.

Both sides of the isle are added together to form a FRAUD.

Nice and distracting to the American people.

If this Congressman Pence doesn't know about this then he must be mentally ill.

If he does know about it and continues to play along without telling anyone then he is a fraud too.

[john48martin]

Watch him giggle when asked if he is going to run for President at the end and then say "thanks for the compliment". After lying about raising taxes on common folks and small businesses by almost a trillion dollars. When caught he says 800 billion (what's 200 billion among rich friends) and the truth it is only 500 billion which is raised by returning tax rates of 1% of richest. Oh Yeah, We really need him to run for President

[foxmort]

The point is.....why do you losers want a govt. to "hold your hand, and take care of you" in every aspect of your life....you're all pussies!

[wethepeopleUSA2012]

Watch Youtube video: The Health Care Bill: What they DON'T want you to know!

Then forward to EVERYONE! Time is of the essence!

[smokeymonkeyorg]

It is so unfortunate that so many people have to be represented by such ignorant jackasses.

[HalEBurton]

hahahahaha LOSER!

So, will Rep. Pence apologize for lying to the American people or not? I know it is standard practice for him unless, of course, he actually wears a flak jacket and uses half a dozen helicopters and 100 US soldiers to go to his local market in Indiana.

Also, I find it interesting that Pence's defenders here are willing to vote down the factual comments that refute the congressman's lies, yet don't seem willing or able to argue with them. And by interesting, I mean cowardly.

Mike Pence didn't mind George W. Bush spending 3 TRILLION in Iraq in just 8 years to murder and torture innocent Iraqis, but he does mind 1 trillion (over 10 years) to give Americans the same healthcare that HE HAS RIGHT NOW.

[2Tiredofitall]

I'm extremely proud to say that I am an ex-hoosier. I left to join the Navy and when it was time to retire I found the Republican politicians too dishonest for me.

This guy though takes the cake. It makes you wonder how much drug and Health care Lobbyist money he got under the table. Up here in Badger Land my two Senators ARE CONCERNED about their voters. TOO BAD for Indiana...

[snooks73]

It is understandable that Rep Pence could make a misstatement but he INSISTED without revealing his source, so my guess is that is was well aware of what he was doing.  Is that leadership? Or is that bearing false witness? He can make amends by apologizing to Carlos Watson and to the viewers. Since this is posted on his site, he seems bound and determined to perpetrate a gross misstatement. Rounding up from $540 billions to $1 trillion would not be accepted in a third grade classroom.

[Chrisfs59]

The CBO said that it was $800 billion OVER 10 YEARS, and only $540 billion in newer taxes. That's LESS than the Bush tax cuts costs and far less than the Iraq War has cost us so far.

[mollybyrd14]

Come on! The CBO stated that it would cost about $1 trillion dollars over 10 years with $540 billion (not $1 trillion or 800 billion) coming from new taxes on the rich which would affect 1.2% of Americans. Pence is trying to protect the extremely wealthy and/or the private health care insurance corporations. Either way, he doesn't have my best interests at heart.

[VioletGrey]

The cost of the plan, according to the CBO (who this liar things is on his side) is just over $1 trillion dollars, with about half of that being payed for by savings in Medicare and Medicaid. Money that is already in the system! The res would be covered by and additional tax affecting about 1.2 percent of the population, as well as fees paid by companies who don't offer their employees health insurance. A household making more than 1 million dollars a years pays $9000 more in taxes. Poor babies.

[protolawyer]

so pence is promoting this video on his own channel even though it shows him clearly lying? Twice? And demonstrating that he's not prepared to back up his statements? that seems odd.

[temptxan]

How irresponsible of Mike Pence. Lying to the American people, and actually being proud enough of his lie to post it on his you tube channel. Pretty much par for once grand old party.

[smileytrucker]

Where did Watson get his info. I knew the money that was talked about being involved in this plan and Im not even in the media. Of course its sad that more of the media and, even worse, the citizens that dont know whats realy going on.
