WTF?!

From the little clip I heard of him they are playing on the Joke this morning, he may have fussed at them a bit last night. I sure hope so.I think these are the same ones who are taking the money from the insurance and drug companies and were talking they wanted the bipartisanship.

What a CLUSTERF—.Then on Morning Blow it was said that only one third of the 47 million uninsured will be covered by the so called healthcare reform (for 1.6 trillion).Wonder how they’ll pick who gets it.

We know the majority of Americans want this. We know our politicians on both sides are bought off. No matter what we do, the Republicans still manage to control the message with the media. Commenters all over the tubes keep using the phrase, “take it to the streets.” I disagree.We need to take it to the ERs. Choose a day or a weekend and have everyone across the country who will participate go to the ER just like Bush and McCain and other Republicans have advised is a form of public health care. What about the people who actually need the ER? Exactly. What about the millions who currently need health care? Are they less important? Until we do something drastic, something that will hold the politicians hostage, we will lose this battle.

I’m no longer taking WaPo seriously since they fired Froomkin and are now publishing OpEds by Paul “Utter Fucking Failure” Wolfowitz. The Post will soon be indistinguishable from the Washington Times, and that’s quite the tragedy.

The house has a public option in there bill.House Democrats planned to unveil a draft of their sweeping health care bill Friday. It would require all individuals to obtain health insurance and force employers to offer health care to their workers, with exemptions for small businesses. A new public health insurance plan, strongly opposed by Republicans, would compete with private companies within a new health care purchasing “exchange” where Americans could shop for coverage. Government subsidies would help the poor buy care.The draft, being released at a news conference of the chairmen of the three committees with jurisdiction — Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Education and Labor — was not expected to mention the potentially unpopular tax options.On the other side of the Capitol, two Senate committees were going in separate directions on their health care bills. The Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee spent a second full day working on an expansive bill reflecting Democratic priorities, while members of the Finance Committee were laboring to produce legislation that could attract Republican support.The public option may still appear in the HELP Committee mark-up of the bill draft, and the mark-up is going on today, so PLEASE CALL Senator Dodd to let him know that you want Option A, which is a strong, robust Medicare-like public option in the mark-up!Tell Senator Dodd to STOP PLAYING POLITICS to appease the Republicans and release the details of the public option as Option A only in the HELP committee bill draft!CALL Senator Dodd at (202) 224-2823You can e-mail the HELP committee as well here at help_comments@help.senate.gov.

I’m still counting on what both Obama and specifically, what Nancy Pelosi has said, which is that if the bill making it’s way through the house doesn’t have a public plan, it will not make it out of the house. However, more and more I’m starting to believe that it would be best if they pass healthcare through Reconsiliation. I’m sick of these idiot Democrats caving to a party with a 25% approval rating. I just don’t understand it. They should be jamming legislation down their throats! And while I’m expecting that in 2010 we could pick a more seats, I’m also rooting against some of the Dems as well. I’d like to see them primaried the hell out of Washington.

Guess they’re going to come to the homeless shelter and get me and then throw me in jail because of a “mandate” to buy health insurance?rrriiiigggghhhhttt.Love the ER day of action idea.

I hope that if Obama ends up with a turkey of a bill on his desk that he vetoes the damn thing and tells congress to get back to work!

Unfuckingbelievable.The other part of that bullshit talking point I heard that douche Lamar Alexander use yesterday was that if only 1/3 of the 47 million uninsured got coverage under the public option at a cost of $1 trillion, that equates to $62,000 per person. WHAT A LOAD OF HORSESHIT! I wonder what kind of amazing health care plan that would be? It’s all designed to scare the MAJORITY of Americans who want a public option.The Coalition of the Fucking Willing? Willing to do what? Sell the American people down the river for their insurance and pharma lobby campaign contributions? Using that name for their little weasely group is a fucking insult.Rox is right. If it comes to a point where they water down the shit out this thing like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, President Obama has to veto it, throw it back in their faces (maybe beat someone over the head with it) and shove the better legislation down their throat. This is what he needs to spend his political capital on. If he does, he’ll receive more support from the people than ever before.

Anyone else find it peculiar that they’ve chosen to call themselves the same thing as the sham “coalition” that went into Iraq with us?

Yes, I know GB and Australia actually participated a bit but the rest of the list was crap.
