Stand up to these jokers from the right-pass the health care reform bill! send these mis-information liars back to their caves! show the insurance companies that they would be better off spending their money on claims -not lobbyists!
and you representatives on the left stand fast and vote for the people and the country! we need health care reform!
we don't need any more right wing foolishness -its time to turn the corner

1. Did you hear the mother of six on NPR this morning --

She flew herself and her six children (!) to DC to lobby her congressman because she wants him to vote AGAINST this bill that will use her tax monies to provide abortions!!!

Where do they get this crap???

If this woman can afford to fly seven people to DC for such foolishness, she isn't paying enough taxes yet, imo. I'm wondering who really paid to fly her (and her brood) there -- would be interesting to know.

Edit: Just heard the story again -- she DROVE to DC (with her six children) to harass her congressman.

2. I agree

if she's on medicaid she can't afford the gas so I'd say like " thejoe the plumber"

look at what the right elected:
WASHINGTON — When U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner told a newscaster Sunday that not a single stimulus-funded road contract in his home state of Ohio had been let, he was wrong.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has OK'd 52 stimulus-funded road and bridge projects at a cost of nearly $84 million.

Boehner told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that in Ohio, "the infrastructure dollars that were sent there months ago," as part of the economic recovery package, "there hasn't been a contract let, to my knowledge."

Karl Frisch, senior fellow for Media Matters, a media watchdog group that monitors news reports, said it seemed that Boehner, a Republician from West Chester in southwestern Ohio, might want to be more aware of what's going on in his home state.

Frisch said he also wanted Wallace to have some basic facts on the stimulus spending in Ohio if he's going to interview Boehner on the topic.

"This is something pretty basic," said Karl Frisch, senior fellow at Media Matters. "If you're going to interview someone on stimulus funding, you should know something about it."
