They think they can get a lot of milage out of casting these companies as cruel and heartless and only concerned about profit rather than the lives of the retirees who worked so long and hard to make the company prosperous.
I predict that along with the honchos at these companies, there will be panels of retirees offering sob story after sob story about how this is action is going to ruin their lives and the lives of their families because they won’t be able to get or afford the necessary treatment.
The sob stories are what we’ll see night after night on the DBM. We won’t see the case being made about how Ovomitcare is forcing them to make the choices of either continuing to pay exorbitant health care costs, lay off employees or close their business. The rational arguments will lose to the emotional human element. Democrats are expecting this and will have a steady parade of victims out there to tug on heart strings.
Adding this to THUG-O-CRAT hit list

Come on corporations. Get up and show your brass.
Let them.
If handled correct, it would expose more of the corruption than it would help their cause.
That’s beginning to happen. It could escalate. Corporations are seeing their lifes’ work go up in flames. With their backs to the wall, they might fight back more for a change.
Bring on the popcorn!
“Anyone ever heard of the first amendment?”
Since the evolving and “breathing” of our Constitution, that only covers the freedom of nude and lewd expression.
Stalin would have loved Waxman. If Stalin was around now, Waxman would be his personal buttboy.
If they go that route they need to go full bore and have a complete and detailed presentation with support documentation. Just like the communists demanded in the letter.
...and just as they are walking into the meeting release the entire presentation on their respective websites and send it via email and snail mailed DVD to every major media outlet on the planet as well as every major magazine HQ and every single decent sized newspaper. Four or five hundred copies sent out ought to do it.
Then publish the "we sent it to..." list as well.
The communists will screech, squirm, wail and lie but it will not do a bit of good. Even the DU crowd will figure out they have been screwed.
219 days…
They might even be scared to fly in jets or SUVs. They’ll probably drive in on hybrids and THEN I hope the corporations sock it to’em!
So, is there a general trend here along the lines of “are we really going to have an election in November...?”
Democrats are trying to scare these corporations out of giving more cash to the opposition. This is just their way of doing it. I doubt that the SC can do much for it unless the Waxmans in congress are trying to find a way to trump up criminal charges against some of these CEOs.
What can congress (or individual jackasses like Waxman) do with subpoenas, anyway?
If I were an exec. at one of those MANY companies ordered to show up, I would simply not go — NO ONE should show up.
These companies did nothing to oppose the legislation, they have a legal obligation to report these effects to their shareholders.
But hey let’s turn the whole country upside down to support the communist revolution.
I would suggest we, the taxpayers/citizens stand behind the big corporations — contact them ASAP to let them know we support their efforts to fight this insanity. It might help them to know everyone out here doesn’t view them as the big bad companies who are out to do harm to the little guy.
RE: “I wonder how many of the CEOs of these companies gave money to zero?”

No doubt some of them DID — they must be kicking themselves now.
“Bring it on you morons!!!”
We all know who would come out on the losing end in this deal. Bring it ooooonnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!1
RE: “The Democrat Party continues to show us all they are nothing more than a criminal enterprise, if for no other reason than what they did to the black family. To claim otherwise merely shows self delusion.”

I’m not sure it’s the entire Democrat party, but it sure IS this current thug-ridden marxist administration.
