"Hillary wins on healthcare" WTF?

[Yael]

From the lips of Chris The Matthews and reiterated by Terry The McAuliffe.

Can someone help me out here -- Did HRC actually *announce* a HC plan in the last week while I was sleeping?

[jgraz]

1. No she didn't - that's why she won

The Insurance and Pharma companies who pay Tweety's salary don't want a health care plan.

ETA: Neither does GE.

[Yael]

6. But, but, but

Arguing a negative isn't the deal here. They claim "her health care plan" is the trump card. I just want to know what the fuck it IS?? As fas as I have seen, she has taken the 5th on the question...

[jgraz]

11. Here's her plan: More of the Same

But with a snazzy new name!

[Yael]

21. Cute!

Thanks for lightening up the mood. :hi:

Damn she makes me nuts.

On Edit: grammar

14. GE wants a two-class society:

The Welch Set and the people that old bastard stomps on.

They'll dive off of the "market-driven" cliff before conceding that "Creepin' SOSHULISM!" beats our system's ass one-hundred fold.

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. Very nicely called.

2. He needs to get up off his knees for whoever he's shilling for.

I can't change the channel fast enough when he comes on ... even when KO is there with him.

[Connie_Corleone]

3. She won because she said the word "healthcare".

[Colobo]

4. Cunnilingus. That's what's going on.

[jgraz]

12. And we're done with the yogurt...

:puke:

[Windy]

5. Turn it off.... really. Its not healthy to watch these idiots

They have annointed Hillary and all other candidates be damned...

[Yael]

13. *sigh*

On to writing down the sponsors for H&C for the weekly work email then. I can't wait for school to start back up next week -- I am getting to wound up about this all.

These people are SO full of shit.

As much as I loathe The Hillary -- one position, one mention, one acknowledgment of the mere fact that healthcare-for-profit is a *bad* thing would at least garner the remote possibility of my vote in the GE.

7. Sorry but John Edward knocked it out of the park on Healthcare...

...Oh, and Terry McUseless and Tweety should go take a flying fuck at the moon...

[EVDebs]

15. And Willie Brown as some kind of political 'analyst' ? The guy barely escaped FBI investigation

Juice (as in $) politics is what slick Willie plays

8. The sad part is that they're SOOOOO obvious

in their "pimping" of her candidacy.

It's like looking through a glass of water. Clear as can be.

[zulchzulu]

9. Just like she "won" in 1993...

Are you freaking kidding me?

She "won" like Cro-Magnon Man won...

[Zueda]

20. Did they really say that?

Your joking, right??? Please tell me you're joking.

[madrchsod]

10. after her failed health care in the 90`s

she received a ton of money from the insurance companys...go figure. in a bit over 4 years i`ll have universal health care-medicare plus i`ll be able to buy upgrades..what is so fucking hard about going to universal care/medicare?....could it be the lobbyist`s who give millions to make sure 45 millions people do not have health care?

[EVDebs]

17. Edwards isn't going to play "nice" with the insurance and corporate whores, therefore

the corporate whores in media are carrying their master's water.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. And 200M are paying for MisManaged Care.

It is the second biggest corrupt boondoggle in our Kleptocristan.

[Yael]

24. Backing Edwards here

So am not sure about the exact quote as I have not been following the campaign clips too closely, but Obama made a comment at YearlyKOS during the debate in reference to the fact that the Ins/Pharma industry spent $1bn in the last 2 decades in lobby funds -- noting that they didn't do it "for their health".

'Twas quite amusing.

Looking forward to the YouTube clip on that!

[LostInAnomie]

16. Hillary could have said "Fuck Health Care! I hope you all die!"

And, the pundits would have praised her for her articulate honesty and given her the debate.

Nice to see how "fair and balanced" they're being having Terry McAuliffe on to discuss Hillary. They might as well ask Bill Clinton on to give his views as well.

[Zueda]

23. She could of said that and gained 10% in the polls.

Hell... come to think of it. She could come out on stage and stom...

Oh, nevermind!

[Jimdish25]

25. Stay tuned, I'm sure they will.

This is a one sided push for Hillary and possible soap-opera TV ratings. I think Matthews wants Clinton v Guliani or Thompson because he has some kind of erotic fixation. This guy is all about image.

[Warren Stupidity]

18. Terry The McAuliffe is the head of The Clinton's campaign.

Why was he presenting his unbiased corporate turd-speak?

[illinoisprogressive]

26. Hillary doesn't have a plan! these guys are unbelievable.!
