naw she’s old senile, tone deaf, and has been talking to herself so long she can’t tell the difference between herself and any other voices…put the woman in a padded cell somewhere….
Trash for trash.
Gee, that’s not very green, is it?
Pelosi’s philosophy:
See no wisdom, hear no wisdom, speak no wisdom.
Why even start over? The only “crisis” in American health care is it’s expensive. Well, yeah, it’s the best in the world. It should cost more. But one of the big reasons it’s so expensive is the cost of insuring providers and practitioners against frivolous lawsuits. And the cost of fraud. I think the reform we really need is tort reform and fraud prosecution.
*Nancy says tonight: “See, we won; They all left and we’re still here”.
*The people say: “We’ll be back, but you won’t be”.
Pelosi? The mouth that roared.
7 dead in ft hood shooting
Gee, uh, Nancy. . .is this another example of your “great victory”?
Protesting with all that white paper…gotta be racist.
God Bless our fine young people-I wish FOX News would stop with the speculating.
Yeah, great show but………while all this is going on the Dems are passing? the climate bill without any input from the Republicans
Watching the wrong hand maybe.
God bless the wounded and murdered soldiers and their families.
Back to the Marxist Medicine:
Elections have consequences, and the Marxist Party has a filibuster proof margin in the Senate, almost 50 seat majority in the House, and a President who has been groomed to be a communist agent since childhood.
The last check/balance is a Supreme Court that is currently aligned 4 Marxists and 4 Constitutionalists, with 1 wild card with no clear judicial philosophy.
If Pelosi’s Marxist Medicine Bill, with clear language demanding every American pay at least $12 per year to help murder unborn babies is defeated, it is because of the faux moderates, the House Blue Dogs, who have to hide their affiliation to communism because they represent districts that don’t have a hard core Marxist majority.
The Senate is trickier, 2/3rds have 4 or more years before facing the voters, and an ex-Senator has a better chance of landing a cushie J Street lobbying job after the 1 year no-lobbying period, and probably at higher pay.
Pelosi and the House leadership are all from safely Marxist districts. The worst that can happen to San Fran Nan is losing the speaker’s gavel. She’ll have her House seat until she dies or retires.
You are not America.
The climate bill is less scary to me than Marxist Medicine.
It can be cancelled fairly quickly if we have free elections and get a Republican House and Congress.
Pelosi’s version of Obama’s Marxist Medicine bill will drive private insurers out of business, and since it contains language mandating all citizens pay at least $12 a year to provide free elective abortions, it will probably also force Catholic hospitals, and Christian doctors, out of practice.
It will be much harder to bring back private insurance companies and open shuttered hospitals.
Pelosi comes from the SAFEST district from San Francisco.
Getting re-elected is not a even the slightest bit of concern for her.
May be, some of the liberals in her district have doubts about Pelosi being Liberal enough”.
Given the powers of House speaker, and the way Obama has delegated the tasks of creating important legislations, she probably feels that she is running the country and not OBAMA.
Of course, she will try to ram through a very unpopular bill though the House!
She doesn’t have to suffer any consequences!
The BLACK House Representatives, all of them, come from the urban ghettos. Who is going to challenge them? They are safe too.
For them, FREE medical care is a small down payment towards REPARATIONS!
Produce any video evidence of these rascals committing crimes, they will still get re-elected with landslides.
The other DEMOCRATS!
Better Watch their sSSeS after committing a harakiri this saturday.
Obama’s magic has worn off.
Witness the results from last Tuesday’s election.
If these guys can not think for themselves, then they deserve to die politically.
The voters in NJ, Virginia and NY have spoken.
Now it is their turn.
Red State
25% point swing, Virginia voters in a year from voting for Obama to voting for a Republican governor.
Similar in New Jersey.
An unknown third party candidate within 2% of the Demonrat in NY-23.
You think America is behind Obama’s Marxist Medicine? Really??
RE: WrshpMzshn,
If only the politicians understood the simple truth of your statement. The only way to bring down the cost of a doc’s visit is to bring down his overhead=tort reform. The best way to bring down insurance premiums is to bring down the company’s overhead=fight insurance fraud.
As far as expensive medications go. I guess you could limit us to use of generic drugs and stop the incentive for pharm research, and lower the regulations on drug safety and potency standards. India has a booming business selling cheap drugs, but they often contain only 1/10th of the advertised active ingredient. Russia is even worse. They also do not spend billions on development of new drugs. We can do the same here and will have cheaper medical costs, but we will lose a large portion of our economy in the process.
Those who complain about how expensive medical procedures and hospital stays run, should consider cheaper alternatives such as a stay in a Mexican hospital. You would have to cut equipment maintainance standards, decrease the salaries of nurses, doctors, and all hospital workers. Essentially you would need to deal a severe blow to middle class Americans who work in the health industry. Many of them who are young enough to chose a different career, may chose to work in other fields.
If you want a serious solution to health care costs, then you have to deal with the trial lawyers and institute tort reform.
Nancy Pelosi is the best advertisement conservatives could ask for. She is single-handedly going to wreck the Democrat Party. What a kook. I hope she stays as speaker until Republicans retake the House next year or 2012 at the latest.
dementia….straight up
What we need but what will not happen is to getback to insuring only for catastrophic care.
Read Ann Coulter’s great synopsis:
http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=336
“This is the problem with all third-party payor systems — which is already the main problem with health care in America and will become inescapable under universal health care.
Not only do the free-market segments of medicine produce faster appointments and shorter waiting lines, but they also produce more innovation and price drops. Blindly pursuing profits, other companies are working overtime to produce cheaper, better alternatives to Botox. The war on wrinkles is proceeding faster than the war on cancer, declared by President Nixon in 1971.
In 1960, 50 percent of all health care spending was paid out of pocket directly by the consumer. By 1999, only 15 percent of health care spending was paid for by the consumer. The government’s share had gone from 24 percent to 46 percent. At the same time, IRS regulations made it a nightmare to obtain private health insurance.
The reason you can’t buy health insurance as easily and cheaply as you can buy car insurance — or a million other products and services available on the free market — is that during World War II, FDR imposed wage and price controls. Employers couldn’t bid for employees with higher wages, so they bid for them by adding health insurance to the overall compensation package.
Although employees were paying for their own health insurance in lower wages and salaries, their health insurance premiums never passed through their bank accounts, so it seemed like employer-provided health insurance was free.
Employers were writing off their employee insurance plans as a business expense, but when the IRS caught on to what employers were doing, they tried to tax employer-provided health insurance as wages. But, by then, workers liked their “free” health insurance, voters rebelled, and the IRS backed down.
So now, employer-provided health insurance is subsidized not only by the employees themselves through lower wages and salaries, but also by all taxpayers who have to make up the difference for this massive tax deduction.
How many people are stuck in jobs they hate and aren’t good at, rather than going out and doing something useful, because they need the health insurance from their employers? I’m not just talking about MSNBC anchors — I mean throughout the entire economy.
Almost everything wrong with our health care system comes from government interference with the free market. If the health care system is broken, then fix it. Don’t try to invent a new one premised on all the bad ideas that are causing problems in the first place.”
And you are relying on a poll conducted by a biased source. Today shows that Americans do not accept socialism.
Judging by several polls, yes I believe there is pretty incontrovertable evidence that the American public wants the public option.
How are the Republican victories in NJ and VA relevant as to the country’s opinion of national politics? Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and California have all had Republican governors this decade, and none has even come close to voting Republican in a presidential election.
In what universe was Doug Hoffman an unknown candidate on November 3? Did his opponent have rockstar endorsements and appearances on national television? Most of that district hadn’t voted D in over a century. And that’s your evidence that the country’s moving to the right??
Nan knows she is hated and doesn’t care 1 iota what she does to the people or this country.She will show us.She is sitting in a multi- million dollar slot with no worries of being defeated in an election.The last threat she had was Cindy Sheehan who is not qualified to be a cub scout den mother.Her district will vote for her until she is dead and they lower the box.We need to add to the movement a BIG get her out campaign.
Red State-
are you one of the people that Holder’s DoJ is paying to go on the internet and report back anti-Obama comments, while also planting pro-Obama propaganda?
Polls have shown Americans don’t want the public option, and most working Americans are satisfied or pleased with their private insurance.
You Marxist tool. Go to Cuba if you love Communism and state run health care.
fingers in ears, saying nanananananananaannanancy can’t hear you!
Most Americans say they’re satisfied with the coverage they already have, but they also want a public option. Show me one poll from the last month that states otherwise.
SanFranNan could be dead and in her grave and still get re-elected in her district!
Hey Red State-
Why don’t you try using an unbiased poll next time:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/september_2009/health_care_reform
Note the chart showing the polling for the past few months. MOST OPPOSE THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE. And the death bill too.
Red State Obama Propagandist sees nothing in a state swinging 25% in a year towards the Republicans.
OK, clue by four, Obama ran as a bipartisan moderate, and the boot-licking press never called him on his many ties to communism. Enough people were fooled that he won Virginia, and many other states.
One year later, the American people realize Obama is a liar, who is in no way bipartisan, and determined to make the US into the Venezuela or Zimbabwe of North America.
Obama goes to a solidly Democratic state, and campaigns for Corzine.
And Corzine loses.
Hoffman was an unknown a month ago. He lost by less than the closet Democrat (pro-abortion, pro-stimulus, pro-Marxist Medicine, pro-cap-n-trade) who ran as a Republican peeled off.
If you feel guilty for not living better than a Zimbabwean after their Marxist thug turned it from the breadbasket of Africa to a basketcase, why not move there?
Do most Americans want to pay at least a dollar per month specifically to pay for elective abortions?
Here’s one.
That was easy.
I think she’s hoping if she says it’ll pass often enough, everything will work out the way she wants. She’s like the priests of Ba’al screaming for her god to light the altar on fire….
Red State and I Hate My Country- being paid for by your tax payer dollars?
Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, has apparently hired a cadre of left-wing, Democrat campaign bloggers to troll through the Internet looking for news stories and blog posts that denigrate the Obama agenda. After such websites are found it is the job of these secret lefty bloggers to leave comments that come to the support of Obamaism in the comments sections. It seems that Eric Holder has created his own little propaganda unit in a valiant effort to become the Bloggi Riefenstahl of the Obama era.
Fort Hood shooting.
Just a criminal act. Move along, nothing to see here.
When you qualify for Medicare, private insurance companies inform you that since Medicare will cover you, they will offer supplemental insurance. I have never seen anyone talk about this – - it is incredible evidence that government programs destroy your opportunity for private insurance, no matter how long you have paid for their insurance. Everyone goes to Medicare – - government destroys private insurance opportunity – - you have no choice… no choice.
RSS is a left wing parrot- please don’t feed him a cracker, y’all.
An officer, converted to islam, pos, the religion of peace…gotta love it, huh.
Ed, don’t forget, if obama had gone to NY23 we probably would have had a sweep. He helped Deeds and Corzine lose because of his support for the 2 marxist brothers, citizens of those states went for the anti-obama.
She hears so many other ‘voices’ in her head how would she know?
The fact that you have done nothing to acknowledge my point that states that are solidly blue for national elections often elect Republican governors shows that you already know you’re full of crap.
Just try and get me fired.
Thank God for Rasmussen, right? Try again. A poll that shows a majority of Americans believe a policy would have a certain effect, and that that effect would be bad, does not mean that a majority of Americans oppose that policy. I would agree that a public option has certain drawbacks, but I still support it because the pros outweigh the cons.
Again, give me a poll from the last month showing that a majority of Americans straight up oppose the public option.
She is a cowardly democrat and is probably still hiding under her desk.
RSS ignores the non-partisan polls that show America rejects Marxist Medicine.
BTW
I don’t know if that is a joke or not, but if Bush had done that, it would have creeped me the hell out.
But we’re loyal to our country above our party.
That is why Congressman Foley sends pervy e-mails to 16 year old pages and has to resign, but Gerry Studds, D-MA, actually screws 16 year old male pages, and serves six more terms in the House.
You won’t see the patriots on this page try to defend Vitter or Sanford. Most of us are disgusted they haven’t resigned.
But Barney Frank lets a gay prostitute run a brothel in his home in exchange for gay sex, and covers for mismanagement at Fannie Mae because he had a boyfriend there, and now he is Chair of the Financial Services Committee.
But morality and patriotism are secondary, or a lot lower, to the Democrat Party.
Such as……
I’m kidding – there’s no actual evidence what you’re talking about has happened.
if Bush had done that?? Armstrong Williams?
They just don’t want it for themselves. Review the poll questions.
We vote in Republicans to keep rein on the Democrat infested legislatures. I can tell you that in MA, we sure wish we had a Republican gov here to control this bunch instead of “Cadillac” Patrick.
All of your points have been thoroughly debunked. Look them up before you embarrass yourself again.
In MA, the state version of the Democrat public option is running out of money, the coverage is lousy, and they are talking about rationing care.
Great plan.
Imagine… people not voting out of self-interest. What a crazy Marxist state we live in.
Paying Armstrong Williams to promote Ted Kennedy’s “No Child Left Behind” crap wasn’t something I ever would have defended.
And that is still less creepy than the idea of DoJ bloggers visiting this site (one of the more popular conservative forums on the internet) and posting pro-Obama propaganda on the government’s dime. A dime they either get from me in taxes or go deeper into debt, for my children or grandchildren to pay.
I guess that you think the Congressional Democrat’s refusal to take an oath to get into the same health care that they create for us is “not voting out of self interst” too.
Considering that they hit the NJ results right on the head, I’d say they’re a bit more reliable than the WP (which, BTW, campaigned hard for the democrat in VA).
Just a bit of reach there. If a person thicks that a policy is bad, why on earth would they support it.
And the pros are?

This was listed by dj, but I’ll put it here.

Anyway, I’m outta here for the night. It’s been fun.
OT, I realize; but, likely vitally important.
The first thought that came to my mind when I read about this a couple of hours ago was that the shooter(s) would be shown to be muslim(s).
Gee…what a surprise.
But, I did not post that statement a couple of hours ago; so , unlike Jean Dixon, I will not pretend that I predicted anything.
‘Course, I might be wrong, and Hasan may be an infidel or an apostate…riiight.
Yes, I am. The Constitution doesn’t give the Federal Government the power to take over the health care industry.
ECS
I saw nan order a monent of silence to those killed at Ford Hood. She could hardly wait to get her moment done to get her gosh horrible bill before the members to vote. To nan, do you have any member of you family in the military? Do you give a flying flit how the thousands of families feel to loose a loved one? The only thing that is keeping me going is when nan and those in dc crater have to answer for what they did. I have a feeling, they won’t like how their outcome goes down.
L
Interestingly, I did post a statement to that effect shortly before the name was released. So I guess I am the psychic!
This is what I said…
Then, about a half hour later, Shep Smith said, “I have heard the name, but we are not ready to release it. However, the name perhaps does tell us something. At that point, I knew the name would be arab.
Now, that doesn’t tell us this was terrorism, but only that common sense tells us there is a muslim connection to this. Is that racist? I don’t think so.
You mean Chapoutier really does have a job? I feel so ashamed for doubting him.
Can Nancy hear us now? Evidently not…
On the other subject:
Shep is talking to someone who knew this Hasan a while back. Apparently he made a number of statements of sympathy with the terrorists.
They’ll try to spin it so it doesn’t involve terrorism, but from what Colonel Terry Lee says, it was.
Even a lone wolf can still launch a terror attack. I hate political correctness.
The crowd at rally kept chanting Naaaancy Naaancy my gosh that was funny, you just know she had some hack from her staff watching us all.
Well God Bless I am beat and need to get some dinner.
A fantastic turnout for such short notice.
oh and P.S. if anyone watches the c-span coverage the audio is crap it does not do justice to the ROAR and the video doesn’t even come close to getting proper footage of the crowd.
Keep trying to hide the anger it just gets True Americans more fired up.
So, Nancy P has gone back on her words.
Nancy breaks promise
If that was my job and I said something so definitive, I’d be fired.
How the *ell do they get away with it?
Way off topic but well worthwhile, NPR is sponsoring a poll on its blog asking people to choose whose side they support in the White House’s war on Fox. So far, Fox is winning by almost 9 to 1. On NPR’s own blog.
If you have a chance, hit the link and vote.
Who do they support Fox or the White House? What the heck kind of question is that for the taxpayers funded radio to ask?
When the government tries to suppress free speech, that is a major problem. Who are the idiots that don’t support free speech?
Show me a poll that says you’re not an idiot.
Show me a poll that says circus clowns shouldn’t replace all politicians.
Meanwhile, let’s focus on how many are against the health care bill.
I vote he is an idiot.
Plaster Face Pelosi doesn’t hear anything but the voices inside her head like the rest of the traitorous Dems pushing a health care bill for a tiny segment of Americans.
What bullbleep.
Support has been falling for months.
See:
http://www.pollster.com/polls/us/healthplan.php
You’ll about fifteen different polls taken since October 1, with virtually all coming down against Congress’ health care plan.
You can try arguing with a straight face that “that doesn’t mean they’re against the public option, just the overall plan”, but you’ll get laughed out of court.
Do you really think you’re going to get away with citing a poll which already skews heavily LIBERAL? Yeah, that Washington Post is so reliably non-partisan.
When you can cite a poll, any poll, that has sampling data that represents Repubs, Dems, and Independents EVENLY with no oversampling…. you might be believed. Yet, ever the Dem water carrier, you cite an overly sampled LIBERAL poll.
Of course liberals want the public option, they want everything handed to them on a silver platter (including you). And, if they could get the free house, car, and college education kicked in…. all the beter.
Not on my dime.
I’m more America than anything associated with the Washington Post.
It may soon be time for Nancy and her ilk to experience some good-old-fashioned tarring and feathering.
