“Breaking and entering? They broke into an office? Trespassing in a Congressional office?”

“I try to make three points when I mail and call...

1. That I want Single-Payer scored (AND they are scoring Wiener's bill!) because Medicare for All is health care for all.

2. That if a bill is passed it must, at the least, have a strong public option, tied to Medicare +5. No triggers and no mandates unless countered by a PO.

3. If they've shown support for the public option (not a chance now that I've moved to Texas LOL), I thank them. If they haven't, I ask why and what plan they do support.”

“If she only made $300,000 in China, sans travel and expenses, I think you can prolly buy a speech with questions for the same. A small hall, dinner service and a robust debate (well, dinner service any way!).”

“This bill is not reform... it is nothing but a mandate that insures insurance companies.

Single payer...everybody in, nobody out.

“So messy!”

“:::Soooooo messy!:::”

“Ask yourself this... do you surround yourself with only people who think like you? Do you rejoice in joining group derision of other groups? Do you make stuff up? Do you have secret slogans like "I am the mob?" or "Keep The Government Out of My Medicare"? Do you whisper people's names like "Van Jones" or "Reverend Wright" with a dramatic hiss and a rolling of the eyes? Do you see evidence and question it because just because it could be forged? Do you leave NO conspiracy theory unturned and unexplored? Do you think that any one person could be a socialist-nazi-commie-muslim-kenyan?

If you do, you must see the resemblance between yourself and a whing-nut.”

“See http://madashelldoctors.com

They are going on a cross country care-a-van, holding forums all along the way on single payer, climaxing in a march on the White House on October 1st. They are putting the rubber gloves to the road! ;)

676 or bust!”

“"...according to Politico".

Nuff said.”

“No what is truly embarrassing is that Jim Greer can call the POTUS a socialist "Pied Piper" trying to 'indoctrinate' school children, Pat Buchanan can say Hitler never meant to start a war, and Roy Blunt can say the POTUS was not born in the US AND that he couldn't get a hip replaced in England...all lies, all said this week. THAT'S EMBARRASSING.

Progressives are trying to stand up for themselves, to hold the President to what he asked them to do "Make Me Do It". Who is standing up for the President??? Why are these lie allowed to promulgate unpunished and unchallenged?”

“The more concise term would be 'snarking' LOL!”

“Wall Street Journal: U.S. Economy Gets Lift From Stimulus

"Government efforts to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars into the U.S. economy appear to be helping the U.S. climb out of the worst recession in decades."

I know the source is not Fox, but I do believe Murdoch owns both? ;)”

“I am not normally a name-caller, I am a gentle soul. But Mr. Grassley is a liar, plain and simple. I am the grassroots and I am in the majority. That majority wants health care reform NOW.”

“Good story on some of Beck's lil fits...

“Are these transcripts available only to subscribers because I have looked and they are nowhere to be found. Can you provide a link to the transcripts?

The timeline I am seeing on search engines in that Glenn Beck made a cowardly racist remark on Fox, bloggers began a boycott of Beck's advertisers, Color of Change joined in, and Beck began talking about Van Jones on his program.

If you are not just baiting, please provide a link to the first show after March 9th (when Jones was appointed) and prior to July 28 (when Beck called President Obama a racist), that features Beck denigrating Van Jones.”

“Ah, but who will teach her the magic of international dialing???”

“I don't often feed trolls, but your mouth is just so wide open!

Do you know anyone else who has run for office that has to LEARN how to grasp the basic essentials of domestic and global policies (I'll be fair and give you Dan Quayle and Baby Bush).”

“One can only hope she'll stray to the demon Communists and death panels that want to kill her baby.

Popcorn!”

“I know...I was impressed with a three-syllable word, albeit made-up, myself!”

“I wonder if they realize she has a bad history of ducking out of 'engagements' at the last minute...have they talked to Newt about being a pinch-hitter, just in case? Just sayin'...”

“Health care reform will be passed soon and then you AND Beck can get a little more attention of a more professional nature.”

“My five pledges:
If you will pass universal health care, I promise:
No Death Panels. We'll disband um immediately. We'll also banish the phrase "Living Will".
No Death Books. Not a single Death Book will be distributed.
No repeal of Medicare. Leave it firmly in place and keep the government's hands off it.
No forced joining of the public option. You can keep the insurance you have now. Honest.
No demise of private insurance. The free market works so well in keeping health care costs down, they won't mind the competition from the public option. That's how the free market works... competition drives prices down and everyone benefits. It works for the mail and schools and I don't hear DHL or prep-schools complaining.

Here's a few freebies, just to sweeten the deal.
No public option for illegal aliens. Not one.
No public funding of abortions. I know that the Hyde Amendment already covers that, but we'll double up on that one, just to make sure.
No civilian armies. The Americorps will be prohibited from wearing brown shirts and marching in unison.
No new electronic databases. The insurance companies already have all that information anyway.
Obama's birth certificate to every citizen of the U.S. If Rush insists, we'll also distribute presidential circumcision photos. If that's all it takes to convince him that Obama is an American, we can make that sacrifice.

Aren't I the epitome of bi-partisanship? I bet I'll be as successful as the President!”

“I thought I'd already seen that?”

“How could we, or he, foresee the forces that lobbyists would bring to bear in the form of lies, astroturf, and Republican/Blue Dog obstinacy. The fact is, we are being out organized and we have some catching up to do. We know that 77% of Americans want health care, but that 77% has to speak up or they'll be drowned by the 20% with bullhorns!”
