The rush hour intersectin protesters are having an impact.
Seeing REAL PEOPLE OUT THERE PROTESTING speaks volumes.
It helps people NOT to be afraid to speak. Too much PC left wing conversation jamming has gone on.
The left is trying to call the “debate is a draw.”
IOW democrats use the ratchet effect. If they call it a draw it means they lost and are unable to move more left.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH MORE RIGHT.
Remember this movement is comming from the RANK AND FILE. Leadership (ala Mr. Steele) is MIA.

I agree with you. I’m just saying they might claim to have got the specific emails that Fox gave them from that web page on their site—rather than admitting the greater wrongdoing. Kind of like the Air Force Once NYC joyride that supposedly didn’t have passengers on it and was for photography, but had plenty of stewards on the flight staff and only terrible pictures to show for their supposed effort.
AB, that was the first MTP I have actually enjoyed watching since 2006.
Armey, Coburn, and the Chamber of Commerce guy just destroyed Obamacare. The Dems were ineffective. Wrangel evaded the question of how this plan would be paid for because he knows the answer is massive tax increases...
Similar then to our rules pay for all the treatment or accept what it available under the NHS. In some ways yours is worse because it sounds as if you could be half way through a treatment and then it stopped. Though I suppose better to have some of the top treatment then all the treatment be down graded because the condition is a complicated or a long duration as would be the case with the NHS.
Personal opinion:
I think the Dems are using a harvesting program to get email addresses to add to their database for contacting. I think they screwed up by getting all of the addresses and not just the person sending the snitch email to them.
the unvarnished Obama deathcare townhall was a fiasco.
anyone who saw it objectivly could see a weak president who is in over his head.
This is not a bill clinton who could pull off a recovery. Obama is a third rate goon who will only be able to blackmail his way back.
Yes, Specter should lose his primary to Sestak, and then Sestak who ran for Congress as a bluedog, will lose to Pat Toomey, a true conservative.
It will definitely be interesting to watch. I do not feel one shred of sympathy for the nasty Specter. He bragged to the netroots attendees on how many occasions he stopped Republicans from gaining their objectives in Congress. And their reaction was “so what, what are you going to do for us now? What are your ‘progressive’ ideas?”

You may be right, but I didn't get that confidence from the discussions this morning.
It may be so diluted its not even recognizable, but that won't matter to them. They are all lawyers and will shape shift it later.
If that's the case, you can be certain that's true.
I think you’re partially right RG.
First, I don’t think they are just going to boom, drop this health care issue. It will make Obamer look like he failed. He did fail, of course, but they’re not ready to give it up yet. In 2012 when he loses handily then they’ll give it up.
So yes, I think even now they’re sitting, ole Emmanuel in his well-used ballet slippers and Axelrod who closely resembles a cartoon villain you ever notice? They’re plotting and scheming and coming up with the least damaging alternative.
Which will likely be some sort of co-op thing that Americans won’t understand but heh, if God was in his heaven we’d have some sort of opposition party climbing out of the tanning booth and keeping us educated and apprised of any nefarious plans to underhandedly scoot this through to be ammended stealthily later. This might require mussing of carefully appointed head hairs but I figure if I make fun of them enough maybe they’ll do their job and stop making friends across the aisle.
With Fox, Talk radio, Bloggers, the Internet, us unAmerican boobs will learn the details soon enough. Hey, they’ve got our attention now, pity them.
anyway, all to do is to recruit pubs, even independents, even Democrats, across the fruited plains and have them run on a platform of being totally against ANY public health care mandate whether you call it co-op or lichenspiel.
We’re paying attention, Dude. That’s where they lose.
Heh.
Ditto what you said. Power to the People!
And don't forget the illegals.
Right now the number is between 40 and 50 million and could get much higher with open borders and free and legal health care for illegals which is what its all about IMHO.
I think much of this bill is about first getting free health care for them and then opening the borders to hopefully get enough dem/rat voters for the next 100 years. It's a 1:2 punch that could destroy the country forever and bankrupt it as well.
If it happens it will take 20 years to reverse the course if ever.
Bingo. I’ve been pointing that out.
Please add me to your ping list.
I watched my grandson text someone. He was sooooo fast at it. He said even his friends had commented on his speed. My number one problem with it is the death of proper spelling and English.
