I hope you guys are fucking happy to help the media get healthcare off the front page

[Lorax7844]

I hope that you are happy that all of the disproportionally uninsured black and hispanic people that don't have healthcare won't be getting it any time soon.

No, no you would rather play with the media's shiny ball. Guess what that blood is now on YOUR hands.

1. Is DU in charge of the media?

:shrug:

[Lorax7844]

2. but when they come here an use all of their energy to

bitch and complain about whatever crap the media would rather us talk about than actual reform, they do the media's dirty work, by warping the public conversation.

I'm furious about it.

3. I heartily endorse your healthcare plan. ( n/t )

[5thGenDemocrat]

4. Nice, bigoted way of putting it

I'm white, have had three heart attacks, and I don't have health care. But I'm sure I'm the wrong color to merit your concern.
John
And the Democrats, gutless as ever, are going to tank on health care, anyhow. The "debate" going on in Congress is the real "shiny ball" you've mentioned and you're falling for it. Mark my words -- other than some feel good band-aid, nothing's going to happen regarding health care this year or any time soon.

5. 'thefuck?

Yeah, cause people here talk about something, it means they're doing absolutely nothing else, right genius?

:rofl:

[Mythsaje]

6. We never talk about healthcare round these parts...

Just M.J. and gun rights, eh?

[redqueen]

7. And sex scandals.

LOVE the sex scandals.

I *never* talk about healthcare. Ever. Or any policy. It's snoozeville, yeah. Forge that.

[Mythsaje]

8. Right. What--this isn't myspace? Damn, I'm in the wrong tube!

Should've taken a left at Albuquerque.

[redqueen]

13. Hahahha...

"in the wrong tube".... nice one. :)

[cali]

9. wow. it must be hard to move when you're as full of it as you are.

go do something.... useful to yourself.

10. Damn you, Karl Rove!

11. Set the Media for Frivolous, warp factor 9

Aye, aye, Skinner!

Is that how it works?

[Flaneur]

12. Who are you talking to?

[5thGenDemocrat]

14. Hey EllieMae7844 -- you gonna play with us or not?

Now, if I were you, and I (god forbid) was from Mississippi, I'd worry more about continuing to elect idiots like Trent Lott, Thad Cochran, Roger Wicker, Haley Barbour and Chip Pickering -- all of whom are or would be more of a hinderance to passage of a health care bill than anything DUers might or might not be doing.
But I'm from Michigan -- my senators, Levin and Stabenow, are Democrats and WILL vote for health care as will my Congressman, Dale Kildee (D). So I can talk about anything I feel like here, because I'm represented by actual human beings -- not a bunch of antebellum knuckle-draggers.
John
Still waiting for your reply -- I understand it takes longer when you have to move your lips and drag your finger across the screen.

[Forkboy]

15. get over yourself.

[Incitatus]

16. Not that I or we had anything to do with it, but is the media really supporting the system we want?

[blogslut]

17. Wow

You know, I haven't had insurance nor been able to afford regular health care for going on 30 years.

You can take your self righteous self and well, you would need proper health care to repair the damage.
