1. Oops!

[fascisthunter]

2. Repeat after me... FREE MARKET

ooops... no such thing. That's why we need regulations, to keep companies from controling the market and squelching real competition. There will NEVER be a "free market".

3. Who?

I don't recognize the Representative and the clip doesn't give his name or party. Who be this guy....anyone?

5. Big oops....

Damn.....did I say that?

The repugs are going to have a hard time juggling their bull shit with facts. This is a prime example.

They'll do everything they can to try to scare the public into thinking that we are going to lose our "freedoms" with government health care OPTIONS. This is utter bull shit, and for those "lucky enough" to have medical coverage, it is ALREADY controlled by the insurance industry.

Just what the F*CK are they talking about????? Idiots!! ....ALL of them!

6. yup, he screwed up and told the truth.

The republicans aren't able to tell the truth on this issue. All of their propaganda is based on lies. This is why they are losing the battle of public opinion.

The problem is that public opinion means so little when most of them are paid for by the medical industry.

7. Did he screw up by saying that, or is he just trying to appeal to voters?

The clip was so short, there isn't much context to go on.
