Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[mware]

The R’s rolled over and let his get away with calling him on the facts.

Thank you for taking the time to write your comments.

I'll ping and link. I think we all noticed him taking notes and he is definitely on the defense now about reconcilation and Lamar wants time to refute what he's saying.

Delphi technique/Alinsky

[Clint N. Suhks]

Go Mitch Go!

Keep the reconciliation issue going!

[exit82]

McConnell taking on Reid over the “polls” Harry is so fond of.

Amer. public not in favor of using reconciliation.

Sen. Coburn up now.

[Jedidah]

Obama is coming off as the jerk that he is. Interrupting, holding his palm up toward Alexander, refusing to give up the mike. . . not doing himself much good, in my opinion.

[caww]

Lamar backed down...he’ll get with Bo later on costs...Not good

We’re all watching a trained facilitator-in-chief.

“There is the trained change agent/facilitator whose only means of pseudo debate is their definition of “dialogue”. It requires other listening “ears” since the psychology of group dynamics is foundational. Their first consideration is not to persuade you personally. The objective is to discredit you so you don’t influence others. If their “trained” modulated original tone of “voice” doesn’t disarm the one they are challenging, they go to the next step of “authoritative” tone designed to impress with “credentials”. When that doesn’t work, they challenge the opponent’s legitimacy to express facts. When that doesn’t work, the knuckles get white, the tone of “voice” becomes shrill, and the motives and accusations of political agenda are used. When that doesn’t work, they take their self righteous leave of the scene implying that the challenged party is not worthy of their time and warped wisdom.”

‘both parties are the same’

BUZZZZZZ

[hsalaw]

Hold on, now. It looks like Mitch just yanked the meeting away from the Obozo and turned it over to Coburn.

[SE Mom]

Geeesh...I wonder if Coburn is going to show any brass.

Says government regs are part of the problem. Well, DUH.

[advertising guy]

wait for it ya’ll.....anyone can see the hammer of THOR is about to strike........

[cblue55]

That is a good way to measure the number of lies. One whistle = One lie.

[fullchroma]

Obama keeps calling him a liar.

Reid called Lamar a liar, too: "you're entitled to your own opinions, you're not entitled to your own facts."

I think it's a strategy they've agreed to. Paint the Republicans as liars.

[midnightcat]

if he’s getting on Bambi’s nerves, that’s a good thing!

[carolinablonde]

Isn’t Coburn a medical doctor?

[Dinah Lord]

“Whether they have meningitis or asthma...”

Hahaha!

[toomanygrasshoppers]

The Repubs are doing a great job remaining calm and speaking clearly. The Dems have already run out of things to say. At some point they will start ranting and getting angry. The citizens need to see them in action.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Well crap! Coburn going on to his planned speech instead addressing the lies on the table at the moment. This sucks!

[texanyankee]

Maybe Coburn was implying Maliah got asthma from “second hand smoke?”

[Guenevere]

Coburn...a real doctor....talking real facts!
