CNN just said that Democrats are about to pass the Health Care Bill
whether people want it or not and within Republicans. According to the FUCKING LIARS at CNN Democrats are about to use the Nuclear Option. A ReTHUG hack will be on in a few minutes for spread the lies.
The Democratic Party needs to respond to this crap.

Reconciliation is not the nuclear option.

1. I called them just now. left a message with their "research" department
Edited on Mon Mar-01-10 06:18 AM by FrenchieCat
Told them to research what "The Nuclear Option" is, cause I said, it wasn't Reconciliation. I told them to get back to me with what the Nuclear Option is, and while they were at it, they should tell the folks talking on my television too, cause they don't seem to know. Told them in fact, reconciliation is what was used to pass the tax cuts the the Big Honchos over at CNN are enjoying....which may be why they are now confusing things instead of informating viewers.

Gave my number at the beginning and end of the call.....and told them to make sure to get back to me on this. It's important....lives are at stake, in fact.

Here's the number I called: 404-827-1500

3. It may not be the nuclear option- but the way Democrats have whinged about it among themselves
rather than just doing it- as most long time observers and analysts knew would have to, it's no surprise it's being characterized that way in the media.

Hell, Democrats all but begged for it to be played that way.

They have no one to blame but themselves for that.

4. whatever you want to call it, it's another dark day for America
Edited on Mon Mar-01-10 06:27 AM by ixion
and this time at the hands of the dems. :(

It really doesn't matter who is in the majority. Both of these parties are corrupt, and both live to screw over We, the People.

6. Thank you. Mine.
Edited on Mon Mar-01-10 06:59 AM by Lochloosa
Please look up the difference between "Nuclear Option" and Reconciliation.

Passing Health Care Reform using Reconciliation is NOT the "Nuclear Option".

11. People NEED to understand that the dems do respond to these lies. But, the media
refuses to cover it.

12. Every time a Democratic representative comes on TV or radio
they need to correct these lies. Some Democrats so but others seem to forget to call all of them on their lies.
M$Greedia may choose not to cover it but there are lots of Dems on programs who do not call out these LIARS.

13. It's also a matter of which dems the media decides to interview or if their are 3 republicans
and 1 dem being interviewed and they are all shouting it's not balanced.

14. Valid point but I've seen Dems allow people to call
them Democrat Party without correcting the morons.

17. It's a sorry state of affairs when people chatting on the Internet
are more aware of Senatorial procedure than so-called "journalists" paid to report the news.

18. The GOOP Would Love To See The Filibuster Gone, Too...
Methinks there are a lot of GOOPers out there reading the press clippings and thinking that they're going to recapture the House and Senate in November. You think they'd love to see any filibuster gone, you betcha! But it works better if the Democrats do their dirty work.

Of course the corporate media is going to distort it...they only work off the GOOP talking points these days.

:hi:
