Joe? Is that you? I guess we will put you all back in chains, right?
We all know the Dem's would never use fear tactics in this election right? Pushing grandma over the cliff and all.
I guess when you have 4 years of failed policies, that is all that is left to run on.
Well, perhaps short term memory loss is a conservative principle of conservation of energy
1. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care reform plan, Aug. 7, 2009 (Source)
2. "To our seniors, I have a message for you: you're going to die sooner." Sen. Tom Coburn (R- Okla.), on what will happen if health care reform passes, Dec. 1, 2009 (Source)
3. "If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card thats in peoples pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the war between the states the Great War of Yankee Aggression." Rep. Paul Broun (R- Ga.), March 18, 2010 (Source)
4. "Baby Killer!" -Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas), shouting at Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) as he spoke on the House floor during the health care vote. Stupak had led a group of pro-life Democrats who fought to change language in the bill to prevent federal funds from being used for abortions, but ended opposition after reaching a last-minute deal with President Obama, March 21, 2010 (Source)
5. "They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God. This is an affront to God." Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), interview with Glenn Beck, March 18, 2010 (Source)
6. "Don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly." Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), summing up the Republican health care plan (Source)
7. "Obama's got a health care logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook
Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate." Rush Limbaugh, Aug. 6, 2009 (Source)
8. "You have three people in the White House that are in love with eugenics or whatever it is you would call it today.
Please dear God, read history. Please dear God read the truth of what these people have said in their own words, and ask yourself this one question: Do you trust these people enough to give them control over who lives and who dies? Because that's what health care is when you have no other choice but to go to the state." Glenn Beck, comparing health care reform to Nazi eugenics (Source)
9. "We should not have a government program that determines if you're going to pull the plug on grandma." Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Aug. 12, 2009 (Source)
10. "That's why people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of Congress, and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions." Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a pro-lifer who completely missed the irony of using the same slogan as the pro-choice movement (Source)
Well, thank goodness the radical right teabaggers can maintain a more even tone and hope filled agenda
Let me tell you what is ignorant. When you have the majority in the House and Senate with the President in waiting with a rubber stamp and can't pass a single payer health care system. Then after not one Republican votes for the health care bill, you blame them because you had to compromise?
Tell you what. I know I favor elimination of the Senate rules that now mandate a Supermajority (60+ votes) to even invoke cloture, much less prevent filibuster threats that stall any and all meaningful legislation of any sort. I support elimination of the extra-constitutional Senate rules, regardless of which party represents the majority. Do you? If elections are indeed to have consequences, then perhaps more people might be inclined to actually go vote
Blame the Republicans! Blame George W. Bush!
I dont blame House and Senate Republicans for Obamas efforts to seek common ground and compromise
I blame them for seeking NO grounds of conciliation or compromise of any kind, even when the proposals were ones they previously endorsed and promoted only a few moths prior.
Its fairly necessary to recall that the notion of a personal (financial) responsibility in making universal access of healthcare affordable to all was a mainstay of conservative philosophy and policy by old school communist liberals like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, amongst quite a few other socialists and anti-constitutionalists way back in the 1990s and as recently as 2007...
