Keith Olbermann Exposes Congressional Opponents of Universal Health Care

Keith Olbermann's message to 'Blue Dog' Democrats:

"I warn you all: You were not elected to create a democratic majority -- you were elected to restore this country. You were not elected to serve the corporations and the trusts who the government has enabled for these last eight years -- you were elected to serve the people. And if you fail to pass or support this legislation, the full wrath of the progressive and the moderate movements in this country will come down on your heads. Explain yourselves not to me, but to them. They elected you and in the blink of an eye they will replace you. If you will behave as if you are republicans -- as if you are the prostitutes of our system -- you will be judged as such and you will lose not only our respect -- you will lose your jobs. ... Cross us all at your peril."

@PrincessAmeatia

If his granny got cancer in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand or any other 1st world with a NHS, she would get the best health care, equal to any that the US in any way could provide for just what she pays in her tax.

Its the US health system that is shitty, not NHS.

And if i havta be a little commie in my lifestyle to ensure that my neighbours children, if they get sick can get the best healthcare, without their mother getting stressed because of money, then so be it.

@smoothy883 olbermann freely gives credit to Murrow for the sign-off.

[skinnybirds]

Good old England. I do enjoy my NHS, I'm sure the working classes in America would too.

I really dislike this guy. Every time he moves his lips

McCain (a veteran himself) is one of the biggest anti-veteran voters in Washington. The people of Arizona need to throw his ass out of office already. He's a paid for fool and government scumbag.

They don't want you to have an abortion,nor do they want to give that child and it's parent(s)healthcare if unaffordable because they don't want to raise taxes. Those taxes that will no doubt raise that child through Government assisted programs. Don't they realize how hypocritical they are?
