Written early. Posted early on FreeRepublic because of interest in both subjects, the Medicare bill and bias in the American media.

The Senate should be Very interesting in Today.

The history you provide on Nancy "Big Eyes" Pelosi is illuminating. Thanks for the clarification on this vote too

So it would be acceptable to blame the Democrats for final passage of this piece of...legislation, although Republicans are to blame for even introducing it. Oh but why am I complaining, it's just another 400 billion+, just think of all the votes!!

GASP! Dishonest reporting by the mainstream Press?

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!, I tell you!!

From the November 21 Congressional Record:

Mr. MILLER of Florida and Mr. CULBERSON changed their vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.'' Messrs. ISTOOK, FRANKS of Arizona, OTTER, MARSHALL, DOOLEY of California, and SCOTT of Georgia changed their vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''

So, that's Miller of Florida (R) and Culberson (R) who first voted yes and changed to no. And Istook (R), Franks of Arizona (R), Otter (R), Marshall (D), Dooley of California (D), and Scott of Georgia (D) who first voted no and changed to yes.

How hard is it to watch television, and then write down on a piece of paper what you've just seen? Apparently for the American press on the Medicare vote story in the House, this was an impossible task.

I thought the stories/slants were written beforehand, and enough "facts" thrown in to make the story believable. Good catch, but I wish neither party was so keen on giving out money away.

Rush is reading your column now. Good job!!!

[Southack]

Outstanding!

[sausageseller]

I read it this morning then heard Rush read it! AWESOME!

1:35 EST.

Rush Limbaugh reads a large part of your article on his show! He refers to you as "a columnist from North Carolina". No reference to FreeRepublic!

"... as Mr. Armor concludes his brilliant piece... as you read anything in the press, the good first question to ask is, 'what if they're wrong?'" - Rush

Congratulations! Bulls-eye!!

Bump for truth. Thanks

EXCELLENT work. Just read that Rush read this on-air, crediting you.

How brilliant.

[proud American in Canada]

excellent article--and congrats on it being read on the Rush Limbaugh show.

You just educated several million Americans--definitely something to be proud of. :)

Dear John/Billybob,

I read your outstanding article this morning, but I missed Rush today, so I didn't hear him read it. Congratulations on the both article and for Rush's reading it to the world. This is great!

[aristeides]

So why did those Democrats change their votes? Did the Democrats decide they didn't want to be responsible for this bill's defeat?

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!
Hey, Congressman! I hear Brent Bozell is looking for a few good men.
Seriously, though, nice job exposing the lazy and pathetic American mainstream news media once again.

[ladyinred]

So I heard this arm twisting story all day on the radio news at work and it was all a lie? Excuse me, I mean a mistake of course! :-)

Congratulations, Congressman Billybob! The libs get mad at our side for our so-called "opinions" when we're always factual AND accurate. Go figure....

Good job!
