Poll: Will Obama's broken CSPAN pledge be his undoing?
The Macon County Conservative Examiner ^ | 1-8-10 | Robert Moon

Posted on 01/08/2010 6:33:02 AM PST by aquapub

Obama repeatedly looked the American people in the eye and promised them that these health care negotiations would be televised live on CSPAN so we could all see who was arguing on behalf of the special interests.

But once voters started noticing what a corrupt, deficit-exploding assault on the free market this was and turning against it in droves, Democrats reneged. Now, contrary to everything we were told, this illegal trillion-dollar government takeover--which will impose staggering tax hikes in the middle of a severe recession--is being negotiated through blackmail and kickbacks in smoke-filled rooms...

It should hurt him if the pubbies handle it right.

Zer0 did everything but say, “read my lips.”

All those clips could be tied together into a very effective political ad.

When the terrorists strike again, successfully, the ‘bama’s coddling of terrorists will be the last straw for the American people, because that will be the kind of incompetence that everyone can comprehend.

"why should it. what can the people do?"

How about demonstrating against the MSM? Outside their studios. Inside their studios. Inside their buildings. Outside their anchors' abodes so that they are inevitably late for their therapy sessions, their lying broadcasts, their evening suck-up dinners.

We need to get their attention, and apparently 100,000 Tea Party People in the Mall doesn't do it - so to use one of their very own phrases - we need to take it to the next level.

C-Span was never Obammy’s to promise in the first place, but nobody in the media bothered to point that out in any of the numerous places he told that lie during the campaign. Obammy used that “promise” to sell the most transparent government ever conceived, when in fact his Party is responsible for building a new Berlin Wall around Washington DC...

Some of us old Cold Warriors thought we had defeated world communism when we saw the first Berlin Wall come down and the old Soviet Union dissolve. Boy were we wrong!!

got it...even more/bigger protests, but against the MSM this time.

maybe some MSM member like C-SPAN would do something like televise the 0bamacare debates as a result.....

The MSM isn’t going to give this story legs.

You are probably right. This should be a much bigger story than the the "Read My Lips...." mistake of George senior but will get little coverage outside of Fox.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Make it impossible for the MSM to use their major weapon which is to totally ignore (for instance) the Tea Party Movement - like TOTALLY. So we do things which make it IMPOSSIBLE for them to ignore us - like TOTALLY impossible!

“So we do things which make it IMPOSSIBLE for [the MSM] to ignore us - like TOTALLY impossible!”

and that stops 0bamacare, how???

you’re talking about possible influence.
i’m asking ‘what can be DONE’?
the ONLY people who can DO something are the legislators.
they’re SUPPOSED to represent YOU, but they DON’T HAVE TO.
just like 0bama, they can SAY one thing and DO something else and there’s nothing you can do about it...till next election...when you can end up in exactly the same situation.

the dems aren’t even representing the libs now-days.

so i re-ask...what can be DONE

Joe Wilson was right. In fact, I will add my voice to the growing chorus ... obama lies.

People do not even pay any attention or put forth any effort to listen to anything he says while his lips are move.
