Shepherd Smith is interviewing Wyoming Senator John Barrasso who believes Obamacare is all about a Government takeover.

Shep said WHAT? Government takeover, no it isn't. Then he reiterated what Obummer has said over and over.

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

blah..blah...blah.. What a bunch a cra! that is!

Someone needs to ask Shep WHY an employer would choose to keep paying for insurance plan (especially in this economy) for his / her employees when business owner could simply elect not to and direct the employees to the public option plan?

Saying it doesn't make it so SHEP! WAKE UP!

Apparently Shep believes everything politicians say.

Shepard Smith is THE textbook example of the anchorman-dunce. Whenever he comes on, I turn off Fox News.

He has the lamest and most boring show on FNC. I wonder who watches it.

I don't know what has happened to Smith, he used to be pretty middle of the road but he seems to be going farther left and his ratings have dropped accordingly. Maybe Fox should send him to MSNBC, he might fit in better over there.

“If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

The Obama supporters are like zombies. Ask them *why* about anything, and the answer always is “because Obama said so!”

Talk about faith in authority!

Bottom line is that a public option is not optional (don’t have hc, go to jail) and it will bankrupt private insurance by undercutting it using tax dollars. You can’t keep your own health care plan if it does not exist.

“But, but, but... Obama says we can keep our plan! Republicans want people do DIE!”

WHAT? Government takeover, no it isn't.

Only Shep is the one who doesn't get it, or does he?

His politics are of the left along with his sexual preferences.

Ever since Shep’s boyfriend Olbermann left him at the altar he’s never been the same.

Smith has been a lib for a very long time. Perhaps that’s why he so often looks foolish and just plain dumb.

Shep has fallen for the Propanda coming out of the WhiteHouse about Healthcare. Obama outright lies about what is in all of the bills and people like him parrot the lies.

Shep has been defending the Obama talking points aggressively for the last week or so. My wife watches, while I prefer to keep the music loud enough to ignore him....

Your just discovering Shepard Smith is a leftie? Where have you been.

I have been watching FoxNews since it first came on the air and I have never liked, or watched, Shep Smith. I was waiting for O'Reilly to come on one day and my hubby had just arrived from work and looked at the t.v. Seeing Sheppie, he asked, "Who's the Ken doll?"

That about sums it up for me. Also, maybe about a year ago, he was interviewing someone (I can't remember who) and the conversation somehow got around to people shopping at J.C. Penny's. He and his interviewee (another gay guy) were laughing about that, and Shep asked "who buys their ties at J.C. Penny's?" Well, I'm shouting at my t.v., me and my husband do, you dufus. And they usually have a nice sale on shirts and ties sometime in January.

Anyway, that solidified my bad opinion of Shepard Smith. I simply haven't, and will not watch his show.

I can take Shep at 3pm. Mostly because I don’t watch TV at that hour. But he takes up valuable space at the 7 block.

Why Ailes keeps him around is beyond me.

I have no idea why FOX double-pumps Smith’s show. Considering his numbers you’d think they’d dump at least one of his airings for Beck.

If Shep "buys" the Obama claim about "keeping" your plan, then perhaps he should read the excerpts from this WSJ article on another FR thread today:

snip-

President Obama's Department of Health and Human Services had sought to dismiss the suit challenging so-called POMS rules that say seniors who withdraw from Medicare Part A must also surrender their Social Security benefits. (Part A covers hospital and outpatient services.) The judge ruled the plaintiffs have standing to contest their claim on the merits.

-snip-

In her ruling this week, the judge said that "neither the statute nor the regulation specifies that Plaintiffs must withdraw from Social Security and repay retirement benefits in order to withdraw from Medicare." Article I of the Constitution gives Congress sole power to legislate—so when agency rules conflict with federal statute, the statute takes precedence.

-snip-

Judge Collyer rejected that notion, noting that one plaintiff had sought an administrative hearing but "received no response from the SSA for approximately three years." Exhaustion of remedies was therefore "futile." A three-year wait is precisely the kind of bureaucratic hassle, or deliberate stonewalling, that government is famous for.

The response of the Obama Administration to this lawsuit is revealing about its principles, as opposed to its rhetoric. President Obama says his plan for a "public option" wouldn't be coercive, saying that "If you like your health-care plan, you keep your health-care plan. Nobody is going to force you to leave your health-care plan." But here is a case where federal bureaucrats are using their power to force Medicare on seniors. Let's hope the courts restore a genuine right to choose.

Apparently the Administration promised ole' Shep a dream date with Rahm (Ballerina) Emmanuel to get him on board. /sarc>

Cheers!

I watched it. He sat there and hit every RAT talking point and interrupted the Doctor all the time.

The crowning touch is when Shemp said, and now we will get the democrats side.

Geesh, what a douche.
