“…donating huge sums of money to Crooked Politicians…”

Show me the list.” Recommended reading list: lieberman $12.6M, mcconnell $7.8M, baucus $7.7M, cornyn $6.7M, kyl $5.6M, grassley $5.4M, ensign $5.2M, conrad $5.1M, cantor $4.9M, nelson $4.9M, burr $4.8M, boehner $4.4M, hatch $4.4M, lincoln $4.1M, vitter $3.9M, carper $3.6M (hattip NAVDOC3rdMAR)

It’s their staff and lobbyist cadre that they let do it…keeps their nose clean, so to speak.

But if they gave you affordable healthcare, Sen. Hatch tells us, then you’d be grateful and vote for them, and they don’t want that.

Erm, hang on…

Good One,
I never thought of it, but he does look like an alcoholic resident of Whoville! I wonder what kind of Suessian jingle could be generated for Boner-who?

Hi,

I am an outreach coordinator for the health videos website.

I wanted to add to the discussion by offering up some videos for those of you looking for more information on health care reform. We have three topics pages about health care, one is specifically about policy, one is about the current reform efforts and finally, one features videos discussing the politics of it all.

Call Congress and demand your Senator vote against the vitter/bennett Amendment to the Health Care Bill. Also, demand that liebermann be stripped of his chairmanship of HSC and kicked out of the Caucus.A Public Option with a Opt Out provision will leave millions of Americans in red states to the whims of the criminally corrupt Medical Industrial Complex/Cartel.Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score's the baucus plan at $829 Billion over a 10 year period, that is paid for. The CBO also states that it will lower the deficit by $80 Billion and it would be much lower if there was a public option.Criminally corrupt politicians are the reason the U.S. is ranked near the bottom of every catagory when ranked next to other modern, industrialized nations. Time for publically funded elections. lieberman $12.6M, mcconnell $7.8M, baucus $7.7M, cornyn $6.7M, kyl $5.6M, grassley $5.4M, ensign $5.2M, conrad $5.1M, cantor $4.9M, nelson $4.9M, burr $4.8M, boehner $4.4M, hatch $4.4M, lincoln $4.1M, vitter $3.9M, carper $3.6M were paid by the Medical Industrial Complex to kill Health Care Reform.

Reading. Is. Fundamental.

Don’t know how I mis-interpreted that originally. Reading it again it’s pretty clear. Oh well, like I said, my head always hurts. That’s my excuse. *g*

Any ability to feel shame or embarassment disqualifies that person from being a Republic.

lol, yep. Any ability to feel anything other than raw outrage probably disqualifies a person from being a Republic.
