Teabaggers: If You Can Go to DC Thursday, GO!
“The clock is ticking 11:59 …I’ve never done this before but I am asking people to come to Washington, D.C., by the carload and next Thursday at noon I’ll be at a press conference on the steps of the Capitol.” said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) in Bachmann urges confronting lawmakers on healthcare bill The Hill
These politicians don’t listen so well, especially when they won’t come to you. Time to go to them!

She’s a mental case. She will go down next time like your kook in New York.
The only way people will possibly think this is a big deal is if they are Fox watchers. For must Americans, ho hum.
More importantly Fox Reports “Republicans’ hope rekindled. Wins send shockwaves thru congress.”
Fact: Dems win two Congressional races, Rethugs ZERO. Little Fox spin there?
Item two: Fox reports “Obama watches documentary about his campaign instead of election results”. Oops, got that wrong, Fox admits it. Making stuff up as usual.
Well that’s Fox for you, you never know what is fact and what is crap. You decide.

Health Bill passes congress. Half way there. You lose another one. Choke on it.
Hey, Hitler lives I guess! Yeah! Now we are going to round up all you right wingers and burn you in the ovens! Especially the older people.
Hey it’s your Tea Party imagery. Don’t blame me.
“Teabagging” do you geniuses really want to use that term? Try as you might you are not going to change the meaning of that term. Do you know what that is Guy?
Definition:
Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion as in irrumatio. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea.
Yes Guy, I have no doubt you are a teabagger in the best sense of the word.

This healthcare reform bill is just what I predicted it was going to be: force hard working people to foot the bill to the remaining few and powerful Insurance Companies. The bill for those making $44,000 (which is $8,000 above the average median income in South Dakota) would ended up being by the best estimates thus far: $5,300/year for the mandated coverage + $2,000 in out of pocket expenses + a 2.5% individual mandated tax = around $8-10,000 a year. That is between 19.5 and 20% of our income!!! WTF??? We will be lucky if we can afford to feed ourselves after this is all said and done. I am sooooooo against this. And the worst part: Once it becomes law, the finer details of true costs will not be figured out, which means we got to sign on before we know the details? Who in their right friggin’ mind signs into an agreement before they know the details? This joke of a Healthcare Reform Bill needs to be DEFEATED!!!

Check out the Cloward-Piven Strategy. Destruction of the welfare state to create a demand of Government intervention.
Socialism cannot exist without government control over its citizens.

Macgregor, you are getting your information from right wing scare mongers.
It depends on what you are looking at. Some suggest it could take 19% of some people’s income and that is why many are rejecting those bills. That also gives right wingers something to harp on.
First, numbers are usually quoted for families of 4, you present your “facts” as if for an individual. What is this “out of pocket” expenses? Source please (and not some screwball right wing site). Or do you mean this is a max you could pay IF you get real sick? What 2.5% tax?. Two taxes have been talked about, one was on “Cadillac” healthcare policies that “rich” people have. Another one was on the top income earners in the country, like the top 1%. To suggest that there will be a tax on families making 50 or $100,000 shows how little you know what is in the bills being proposed. I have been following this very closely, I have never heard of this tax. The house bill is online, quote the page where it taxes regular folks 2.5%. Bet you never get back on that. Does it make sense to give a family a subsidy to buy a healthcare policy and then tax them 2.5%. Give your head a shake and turn that dial on your TV.
Health care consultant Robert Laszewski, head of Health Policy and Strategy Associates in Washington, said under subsidies in the House bill, a family earning $55,000 would pay the first $5,500 of any premium, public or private, he said. “How many families earning $55,000 a year do you know that have an extra $5,000 in their checking account?” he asked.
So there is an expert stating the facts that a family of 4 can get it for 10%, NOT 20% of income.
It *WOULD* be tough for many people, but it’s twice as good as your statement says. You are as accurate as Fox News.
As for an individuals making $55,000 (or $44,000) as you surmise in your comments, I would wager a single person would get covered for 3 to $4,000.
But there is no final bill yet so we don’t know for sure what the details will be. There are many concerned about affordability, Sounds like even you will be able to.
The other option is you have no insurance and then show up at the hospital. I think you should be shown the door and you can die. Why should any community treat you on their dime when you say you won’t spend >10% on your health.
Of course, you could spend 5% if you went for a single insurer. But you hate that and want the private insurer to stick it to you. You brain washed fool.

Socialism cannot survive without controlling the will of the people. Popalot, gets it!

Your socialism shtick is a big yawn.
America is a crappy country because 30% of it is made up of mental midgets who can’t have two thought in their head at the same time. They think a compulsive lier like Sarah Palin is great. That’s how simple minded they are, they actually like that smiling sack of nothingness. It says so much about ya’ll.

NEW ABC POLL
Would you support or oppose having the government create a new health insurance
plan to compete with private health insurance plans?
——– Support ——–
53%
——— Oppose ——–
43%
BUT THAT IS WRONG, very few people will be able to get it so the right question is, and it was asked.
What if this government-sponsored plan
is available only to people who do not receive insurance through an employer, or
through the existing Medicare or Medicaid programs – in that case would you support or
oppose having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with
private health insurance plans?
——- Support ——-
72%
——— Oppose ——–
28%
See that, ask the correct question so people can understand it, and it’s SEVENTY TWO!!!!

You can’t make a point. You throw baseless insults instead. That makes you more intelligent?
Your polls don’t ask the question - Do you want to pay for someones insurance who isn’t a citizen or does not want to pay for it themselves?
That question would get the real response for the topic we are discussing!

Arresting an illegal and deporting him across the border is one issue. Most people are talking about another issue you are too stupid to understand. If they are not being escorted out the of the country it’s a good idea they have car insurance and a legal drivers license if they are driving. Why? if you ask the question you are stupid. Just like if they are in the country it’s a good idea if they buy some health insurance instead of squeezing it out of the system (that would be you assuming you have some). You are a hopeless idiot. I once asked if you are some old fart, well, are you?
