Gibbs Mocks Steele's Speaking Fees, Calls Him Delusional
Commented Dec 30, 2009 at 18:19:57 in Politics
“Let's see: If Michael Steele makes $223,500 per year working for the RNC the assumption can be made that he is working 24 hours a day 365 days a year, right? Well, if he decides to make speaking engagements during some of the hours he's being paid by the RNC, isn't he DOUBLE BILLING somebody ? And isn't that against the law ?
The RNC should have a talk with Mr. Steele.

“Well, let's ALL get to work! The very FIRST thing we MUST do is Physically RIP the US Government's entire ELECTION System from the TELEVISION NETWORKS!!!

Jonathan Chait: Health Care Bill The Biggest Social Achievement Of Our Times
Commented Dec 25, 2009 at 11:36:56 in Politics
“I'm guessing the '30 years' timeframe is reflective of your real world adult years, maybe not. I think if you went back to the period following WWII you would see some of the prime characters in the 'Shadow Government' that would manage much of our foreign affairs from the boardrooms of industry. Mostly under the leadership of Nelson Rockefeller they laid the foundation

“The ad up top about "Welcome to the DMV....." is funded by "Americans for Prosperity". They are a construct of the OIL Insustry:
"Its foundation's (Americans for Prosperity) chair and founder is David Koch of Koch Industries, which runs oil refining and pipeline companies. Another Americans for Prosperity Foundation board member is Richard Fink, a Koch executive who serves as a director of the refining subsidiary. Fink helps control AFP's purse strings."
Now, what does the OIL Industry have to do with Healthcare Reform? Oh......

Do you think, seriously, that there are human beings in our country who actually KNOW things that YOU merely Believe are true?

“Okay, I just watched it. He said given the way the GOP is acting we may as well go and pass this bill but he also said it needs a public option.
He further said that it may be as Tom Harken said, we can revisit the public option but that it makes more sense to do it now by expanding Medicare.
He said that if the insurance companies are going to give us a 30-year fight over regulations we may as well get a head start, and this bill does that.
People have to stop trying to boil down what he said into a one liner and label it either "pro" or "con". It's not that simple.
He is for the House bill and wants more of its provisions inserted in Conference Committee. He said that the exchanges are actually stronger now in the Senate version although they were better in the House bill to begin with.
He said a lot more than that, too.
