What's your favorite townhall moment? (Jackson Lee on cellphone? Being called Astroturf?)
8/19/09

Posted on 08/19/2009 5:11:02 AM PDT by Liz

An outstanding townhall moment was when terminally dumb Sen Claire McCaskill D-Missouri incredulously asked irate townhallers, "Don't you trust me?"

Also a fave was Cong Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on her cellphone as a cancer survivor was speaking.

"Make that three double pepperoni pizzas, four gallons of Pepsi,
and three loaves of garlic bread. And deliver it in 10 minutes, after
I get rid of these annoying constituents. I'm starved. " Don't You Trust Me?)

Ezekiel "End of Life" Emanuel, MD, PhD
Special Advisor for Health Policy
Office of Management and Budget

"Death panels" What Death Panels? I'm a workaholic and an overachiever.
With my perfect academic credentials, I should be allowed to pull the plug on granny.


"DUH! Is this a trick question from one of those viscious townhall MOMSTERS?"

A memorable moment: when Presser Sect Robert "The Boob" Gibbs called townhallers
The Brooks Brothers Brigade (insinuating racism).

"All the people opoosed to me should get out of the way (cough, cough)."

My fave: The "doctor" at Sheila Jackson-Lee’s “closed to the public” townhall stood in support of ObamaCare.....she turned out to be a social work graduate student at the U of Houston and (to add astro to the turf) was an Obama delegate. Fake doctor at a fake townhall: Priceless.

ITEM If the fake doctor Roxana Mayer signed on to speak at the townhall using a false identity, that could be actionable. The imposter, Roxana Mayer, is a former Texas delegate for Obama, whose name is listed on Obama's campaign web page. Mayer doesn't even live in Jackson Lee's district. This should be reported to the FBI.


The imposter and the Congressman.

WORKING THESIS It appears Jackson Lee colluded to deceive constituents and facilitated ID theft. The FBI should interrogate Jackson Lee to determine if Roxana Mayer received anything of value to pull off the deception---money, jobs, political cover to facilitate the deception, and whether they colluded to misuse Congessional influence.

FBI TIP PAGE http://tips.fbi.gov/ (you may remain anonymous)

POSSIBLE CHARGES FACED BY JACKSON LEE Official acts prohibited, misuse of Congressional funds, abuse of public office, violating oath of office, misuse of government position, abuse of government power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of elective office. Lee's official campaign finance records filed with the FEC, and state election commission, should be scrutinized for possible violations. Determine if names of Lee's contributors are legit and whether Lee illegally used campaign funds, and whether Lee received campaign contributions to influence Conressional votes.

Obama might be involved. There might be a pattern of disguising sources of money or jobs in an effort to hide financial and legislative dealings. Clandestine meetings may have been held in order to push ObamaCare, and to hide the genesis of campaign donations and/or a federal job for Mayer.

My favorite moment was the guy talking to Spector when they attempted to toss him out and he said he wasn’t going anywhere until he had his say.

Close second is Bawney Fwank saying to a constituent: “Talking to you is like trying to have a conversation with a dining room table.”

A good response would be: "Talking to you is like talking to a sewer pipe."

I believe the more Bwaney shows his fat lipless self, the more Americans recoil in horror.

“FAVE: A heckler telling Arlen Specter that he was in the twighlight of his career.

Heh——and to make it sweeter-—later the polls showed Arlen collapsed 12 points AFTER his townhalls. Previously Arlen was up 11 points.....a 23-point switcheroo.

Sweet. “

#2 was when Obama claimed doctors made 40,000 on a certain operation. Immediately a dozen doctors said Medicare paid 1,140.00 for that operation. Obama looked like the lying con man that he is. Public approval for him went down 5 points in a couple days.

Yes, the cell phone call was arrogance. What people seem to be missing from the Queen Sheila Jackson Lee townhall is that the woman who said she was a doctor and supported the plan - supposedly a friend of Jackson Lee's was NOT A DOCTOR. Jackson Lee knew this and did nothing to contradict her. That is the most damning thing that went on there.

The people of her district keep re-electing her so they get what they deserve.

Heh---that WAS a defining moment.

Plus he made permanent enemies of doctors.

SWEETEST: Obama's lost 20 points in a couple weeks.

Stamp Malfunction:

The US Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it. The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.

This enraged the President, and his wife, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $34 Billion in congressional spending, a special Presidential Czar presented the following findings:

“The stamp is in perfect order There is nothing wrong with the glue. People are spitting on the wrong side.......”

IRS The New Health Care Enforcer
August 14, 2009 | William Jacobson
FR Posted by llevrok

People often joke that government-run health care will have the efficiency of the motor vehicle department, and the compassion of the Internal Revenue Service. This joke will become reality if present Democratic health restructuring proposals are enacted.

Under both the House and Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee bills released to the public, the Internal Revenue Service will play a key role in monitoring and enforcing health care mandates against individual taxpayers. Yet the introduction of the IRS into the health care system has received scant attention.

The Senate bill imposes a new requirement that all persons who provide health care coverage to others must file a return with the IRS listing the names, addresses, social security numbers, and the coverage period for each person, and "such other information as the Secretary [of Health and Human Services] may prescribe." (Section 161(b) starting at page 107).

The bill does not limit what information the Secretary may request, so it is conceivable and likely that information as to the nature of the coverage, the family members included, and other details will be reported to the IRS. --SNIP---
