Now the political season`s here. You`ve got to fight for what you want. I am disgusted at how the Democrats are handling health care on the campaign trail.
Some of them are not only running against it, they`re advertising against it. We`re saving lives and they have no guts to run on what they`ve passed? They ought to be ashamed. I`ll say more later……
SCHULTZ: Welcome back to THE ED SHOW. The Battleground story tonight, well, the democrats, OK, so they have the guts to pass what they called historic health care reform, but they`re too scared of the Tea Party and the republicans to go out there and sell hard to the American people in this election cycle. One in seven Americans is now living in poverty in this country. Fifty one million people almost one in six Americans, they have no health insurance.
Americans that have insurance, well, they`re vulnerable too. Insurers are proposing double-digit rate hikes while middle-class income, where is it going? It`s going down. Median income in households in this country in America dropped 4.2 percent since the recession started. We`re going in the wrong direction. The health care reform, democrats passed this year, is a direct response to the problems that these families are facing. It provides a lifeline to get people covered. It will stop insurance companies from jacking up rates. To inflate their bottom lines, but of course, democrats aren`t selling it to the voters.
Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Christine O`Donnell, they will stop at nothing to repeal the reform if they win and get the majority in November. Now, the presidents of the democrats who voted for this reform have literally saved lives with this bill and it`s going to get better. They should be out there shouting from the rooftops, but because there`s this poll out there that says that people just don`t like it that much, they`re running away from it. Folks, the bottom line here is that we`re saving lives. That`s a great campaign slogan, isn`t it?
...... SCHULTZ: This is — this is Senator Bernie Sanders on this program last night. Somewhat critical of the leadership on how they`ve handled the first two years. Here it is.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I), VERMONT: What Obama has done too much and the democratic leadership in my view has done too much, they keep reaching out to republicans, oh let`s work in a bipartisan way and every single day they got slapped in the hand. Filibuster after filibuster.
Ed, they are running against it because they know it is a crappy law.
“We`re saving lives and they have no guts to run on what they`ve passed?”
Stark raving stupid.
I agree.
They should be out there crowing about their ‘health care’ vote.
Nice numbers there Eddie. Now tell us again why America needs "comprehensive immigration reform".
Everywhere you look, democrats are trying to claim they voted against their whole record.
Didn't Bill Clinton promise Dems in congress this unpopular bill would immediately become popular when signed?? Good thing it wasn't Clinton risking his own election. Serves Dems right for trusting a convicted purger-er.
Special Ed is spending too much time chewing on his diaper nuggets.
“Now, the presidents of the democrats who voted for this reform have literally saved lives with this bill and it`s going to get better.

This guy is a total loony toon. What idiot would show up to a march organized by him?
Ed Schultz to Democrats: Don’t be afraid to put the lipstick on your pig and give it a big fat kiss.
I’m sure the Democrats who are worried about their seats are going to listen to the erudite Ed Schultz.
Bernie Sanders, the Socialist, defending a socialist program.
Vermont was a nice State until the hippies moved in.
Ed is nothing but a big fat pile of goat smegma. They threw away the baby and kept the afterbirth. Gag on a sandwich you pig.
Ed should be disgusted that he works for a corporate monster that hires only white people to anchor their shows and pays them much more than the (often minority) janitorial crews. He should be ashamed. (how’s that for out-liberaling a lib...(snicker))
I am almost tempted to go (I live in MD) just to take pictures and post them. Watching their universe blow up before their eyes is fun, or funny. Traffic and parking shouldnt be a problem with that small group. He will just get government employees to go again.
PUke RATs eating their own. Don’t ya just love it?
Seems like the Republicans should be reminding the voters of what the RATS did...
