She is a liar. It is already true in Mass under
fascist RomneyCARE.

Is there a single Congressman/women who tells the truth?
I think not.

She knows she is lying. She knows that the media is on her side.

We should all send Obozo a ‘thank you’ card!!!

this is the most exciting revolution and activating movement this idiot started—and didn’t expect would happen—!

People are going to townhall meetings that have never done a political action in their lives! Obozo and Congress have awakened a giant (of citizens ) who at least now are taking a second look at their representatives and maybe for the first time seeing them exposed as power hungry liars and morons!

Perhaps she is not lying. I doubt she knows what is in the bill.

One of the fired-up women in one of the townhall meetings got it exactly right: “This bill has nothing to do with health and it has nothing to do with care.”

And don't forget that their party is the National Democrats.

Contrast to "Bush lied-people died".

Bush did everything he could to determine the ground truth and report it to the American people. He was wrong, (even Saddam thought he had WMDs, we were supposed to know better than him???) but did Bush lie? No rational person would say so.

On the left hand, Tsongas is willfully ignorant. It's not like she didn't expect any questions about the health care bill, yet she still didn't study for the exam.

Who's the liar?

Or she’s taking 0’s lies as the truth, in that case she’s just plain
ignorant and doesn’t deserve to be a servant of the people.

Her health care "editorial" in the Wednesday Lowell Sun suggests she truly has no clue what is in the bill. She believes whatever they tell her. You don't think she actually READ the damn thing, do you?

ANYBODY but Tsongas in 2010! Is John Ogonowski running again?

800 people showed up for the meeting? In Massachussetts?

That should pop open the eyes and ears of the non-listening Congress commies.

Way to go, constituents! NO TO OBAMA DEATHCARE!

She is lying!

No where in the bill does it say that abortion is not covered. When Republicans tried to attached an amendment to the bill to make sure abortions weren't covered RATS refused to allow it. That means it is up to the government to interpret the language for themselves. I think we all know how that will turn out.

There is also nothing to stop illegals from being covered as the bill is written now.

This is how they are getting by with saying abortions and illegals aren't covered NOW. That's because the way the bill is written NOTHING is allowed or disallowed. That will be decided by the GOVERNMENT once the bill is passed.

We aren't as stupid as they think! If this bill is passed it will be up to the OBAMA TEAM to decide the details of the plan. If that isn't scary nothing is!

I don't want the OBAMA TEAM running my bath water much less MY LIFE especially after they can't even run 'cash for clunkers', the car companies, create just ONE JOB, banks, etc.

I would rather Obama stick to picking out dogs for his kids! It only took him six months to find one. That should keep him busy for the rest of his term.
