Red stumps Gohmert R-TX on abortion & health care

Washington - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.), a favorite of the tea party cult, discusses health care legislation and abortion at the Capitol Hill tea party on Saturday, March 20, 2010. Abortion seems to be one of the favorite Republican strawmen when process and death panels and other deceptions fail to distract or demean.
Tea parties seem to be losing steam and attendance despite continual propaganda and promotion by Fox News and support from conservative media and celebrities on Capitol Hill. About the Capitol rally Saturday, Fox News claimed that 60 affiliate tea party organizations planned the event; however, the crowd only numbered in the hundreds, possibly as many as two thousand. 60 tea party affiliates, free promotion by Fox, a dozen or so conservative congressional speakers, and only two thousand people thats a bust. Maybe Congress should not listen to the tea party lobbyists any more.
A partial transcript of the interview with Rep. Gohmert follows:
Gohmert: (Thank you.)
Red: Im not on your side. I want you to vote for the health care bill for Jesus Care (Obama Care) something for the middle class for a change
Gohmert: So, are you for abortion?
Red: Im for life. Im for the thousands of people (without insurance) that you are killing by voting no.
Gohmert: Have you read the bill?
Red: Theres no abortion in the bill and you know it that is a strawman and you know it.
Republicans deceive and use wedge issues to distract and divide our nation to the benefit of too-big-to-fail businesses. When they throw down abortion in a debate, why not fight back with life? Fight life with life: Obama Care is Jesus Care; choice means life; and if they go all mean on you, just ask why they hate America (or Jesus).

No true born again believer in Christ can be pro abortion. This guy holding the camera has no clue what he's talking about.

@1776iscoming I'm speaking for life and the thousands of lives that will be saved with health care, people with names and families and children. Do you not care about all life? "No true born again..." ? Once you are born again, you are born again. Now, I wouldn't want to be judgemental but you appear to be judgemental. Certainly you are bearing false witness.

@redarrowguy Being "born again" really means that you've lost it. There's something that drove you so low that you needed to be "born again" really, a ridiculous idea in itself.

@bushsucked It's actually more complicated that that. When you have the time, look in to stuff about pharmaceutical companies, their lobbying activities with doctors and pharmacies, hospitals, medical supply companies, etc. A lot of the costs can be cut simply by reducing lobby costs, "gifts" to doctors, professors, and pharmacists, and advertisement. Other that that will have to be fundamental changes which the Republicans and related industries will never allow to see the light of day.

somebody really needs to explain the health care reform bill to these moronic creatures. It is the fault of the health care system, they charge too much just like wall street pays thier people too much of OUR money. Then the insurance companies sock it to us. Obama care stops insurance companies from saying no to pre-existing diseases. My god people read , read , read. Dont listen to orly nutty taitz or Glen the drunk Beck. READ!

This morning YouTube was 'unavailable' for a while. Peace seemed to reign on earth temporarily. I plan to turn off my computer, TV, radio, etc. and have a totally MEDIA FREE day. It seems like the sane thing to do at this juncture.

[1776iscoming]

When you give truly your life to Christ and accept Him as your lord and savior; you die to this world and are born again spiritually. Unless you have a relationship with God and know God, you will not understand. It's pure foolishness to those who are lost.

@1776iscoming Ahem, please explain how you can be "un-born again" ??? Please tell me you don't think for a living.
