Throw The PUBLIC OPTION Obstructionist Out!

The proposed Baucus bill is a legislative OBSCENITY!

More than two thirds of the American people want a single payer health care system. And if they cant have a single payer system 77% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (86% of democrats, 75% of independents, and 72% republicans). Basically everyone.

According to a new AARP POLL: 86 percent of seniors want universal healthcare security for All, including 93% of Democrats, 87% of Independents, and 78% of Republicans. With 79% of seniors supporting creating a new strong Government-run public option plan, available immediately. Including 89% of Democrats, 80% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans, STUNNING!!

We have the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed world. And the most costly. Costing over twice as much as every other county. Conservative estimates are that over 120,000 of you dies each year in America from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don't die from. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. This is what being 37th in quality of healthcare means.

I know that many of you are angry and frustrated that REPUBLICANS! In congress are dragging their feet and trying to block TRUE healthcare reform. What republicans want is just a taxpayer bailout of the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry, and the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry. A trillion dollar taxpayer funded private health insurance bailout is all you really get, without a robust government-run public option available on day one. Co-OP's ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A GOVERNMENT-RUN PUBLIC OPTION. They are a fraud being pushed by the GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry that is KILLING YOU!

YOU CANT HAVE AN INSURANCE MANDATE WITHOUT A ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION. MANDATING PRIVATE FOR PROFIT HEALTH INSURANCE AS YOUR ONLY CHOICE WOULD BE A DISASTER. AND UNETHICAL, CORRUPT, AND MORALLY REPUGNANT. AND PROBABLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS WELL.

These industries have been slaughtering you and your loved ones like cattle for decades for profit. Including members of congress and their families. These REPUBLICANS are FOOLS!

Republicans and their traitorous allies have been trying to make it look like it's President Obama's fault for the delays, and foot dragging. But I think you all know better than that. President Obama inherited one of the worst government catastrophes in American history from these REPUBLICANS!

But Republicans think you are just a bunch of stupid, idiot, cash cows with short memories. Just like they did under the Bush administration when they helped Bush and Cheney rape America and the rest of the World.

But you don't have to put up with that. And this is what you can do. The Republicans below will be up for reelection on November 2, 2010. Just a little over 13 months from now. And many of you will be able to vote early. So pick some names and tell their voters that their representatives (by name) are obstructing TRUE healthcare reform. And are sellouts to the insurance and medical lobbyist.

Ask them to contact their representatives and tell them that they are going to work to throw them out of office on November 2, 2010, if not before by impeachment, or recall elections.

There are many resources on the internet that can help you find people to call and contact. For example, many social networking sites can be searched by state, city, or University. Be inventive and creative. I can think of many ways to do this.These are your neighbors. And most will want to help.

I know there are a few democrats that have been trying to obstruct TRUE healthcare reform too. But the main problem is the Bush Republicans. Removing them is the best thing tactically to do. On the other hand. If you can easily replace a democrat obstructionist with a supportive democrat, DO IT!

You have been AMAZING!!! people. Don't loose heart. You knew it wasn't going to be easy. :-)

God Bless You

How does a person "loose" heart?

[buster mcDissenter]

Aw, isn't that cute? You've got your first axelturfer.... and he's a loud one, too.

"More than two thirds of the American people want a single payer health care system. And if they cant have a single payer system 77% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (86% of democrats, 75% of independents, and 72% republicans). Basically everyone."

Where do these numbers come from, champ? Your magic 8 ball?

"We have the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed world. And the most costly. Costing over twice as much as every other county. Conservative estimates are that over 120,000 of you dies each year in America from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don't die from. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. This is what being 37th in quality of healthcare means."

37th according to whom, the magical nose goblins that you've stuck under your crafts table? Odd how so many folks are hopping on planes or crossing borders to get here to avail themselves of the "37th worst" healthcare system in the world, isn't it? Or perhaps you're pulling nonsense out of your arse, eh boy?

"I know that many of you are angry and frustrated that REPUBLICANS! In congress are dragging their feet and trying to block TRUE healthcare reform. What republicans want is just a taxpayer bailout of the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry, and the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry."

And I know that you have no real grasp on how things work in the legislative branch, as evidenced by your ignorance that the democrats need exactly zero (0), as in no/nada/zilch Republican votes in either house in order to get the death care legislation you apparently want passed. Oh, and nice job on the CAPITALIZED WORDS. They in no way whatsoever make you look like a SCREECHING, DERANGED, IMBECILE.

"I know there are a few democrats that have been trying to obstruct TRUE healthcare reform too. But the main problem is the Bush Republicans. Removing them is the best thing tactically to do."

Again, your ignorance of legislative procedure is on full display. Again, the democrats can pass any chowderheaded country wrecking legislation they like in either house with no Republican support whatsoever.

"But Republicans think you are just a bunch of stupid, idiot, cash cows with short memories."

Au contraire, I'm quite sure you are a stupid idiot leftist intent on taking other people's cash and handing it to bureaucrats under the guise of "fairness". No thanks, comrade.

"Republicans and their traitorous allies have been trying to make it look like it's President Obama's fault for the delays, and foot dragging. But I think you all know better than that. President Obama inherited one of the worst government catastrophes in American history from these REPUBLICANS!"

Ah, so now it's cool to blame problems on the previous administration. Well okay- guess we know whose fault 9/11 is now, don't we? That's right...those DEMOCRATS!!!!1!!!!11!! And third time, moron- the democrats and preznit earflaps mcspenderson can pass anything they want and the Republicans are powerless to stop it. So why again no deathcare, genius?

"Ask them to contact their representatives and tell them that they are going to work to throw them out of office on November 2, 2010, if not before by impeachment, or recall elections."

Right, recall elections because elected reps have the temerity not to do just as you say in your demented frothy screed. This whole "government" and "elections" thing is just a bit beyond you, isn't it junior?

"The Republicans below will be up for reelection on November 2, 2010. Just a little over 13 months from now. And many of you will be able to vote early."

And just think, with Acorn's help many of you will be able to vote multiple times!!! As will your dead relatives!!!

You are a feckless dunce, jackhole. Go back to your blanket lined refrigerator box in your mommy's basement and come up with some better screeches. This last bunch was some pretty low grade blather.

What a moron!

jacksmith:

That was an AWFUL lot of words, for them to be scattered and untrue. Switch to decaf, and get real facts. While your %'s are just plain WRONG; your reference to Constitutionality is just plain SCARY.

btw: Thanks buster mc, for the sanity.

AngryAmerican.........good job, Brother....good job...

That pencilneck liberal above you had alot to say...but 'nothing' was said..except college boy rhetoric...

just wait until he has to get out in the world on his own....Mommy and Daddy wont be there to save him....then, the world opens up to him and he finds out just how stupid he really is....

[Bill]

jacksmith is another loud mouth nut case who apparently doesn't realize that the Republicans couldn't stop Obamacare from happening if all the Dems were all on board! Does he not know that they hold the majority in both houses?

And his statistics must have come from the Ninth Ward.

Here's from the latest Rasmussen poll:
"Health Care Reform
Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%
Friday, September 18, 2009
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats."
