So now that the CBO has determined the "HCR" bill lowers the deficit, we can expect Teabaggers to

[Divine Discontent]

start rallying outside GOP reps offices demanding they vote for deficit reduction, right?
I can count on this from the teabag crowd who likes to support mottos like the one below, yes?

1. If they didn't they would be flaming hypocrites.

I wonder what will happen...

[FrenchieCat]

2. we'll find out what we already knew......

they are flaming hypocrites?

[Divine Discontent]

3. it will be interesting to see their response - because it will expose them even further.

and when I read your reply, I replaced hypocrites with racists, somehow... not sure why my brain did that! (cough)

4. lol

5. Well,

Limpballs is already tinfoil-hatting abouthow the Obama Adminstration has corrupted the CBO so that the numbers are false....

[Divine Discontent]

6. ha! oh really? Well, see, they know B*sh did everything scandalous, so they figure everything we'd

ever do would be outright lies and propaganda.

They are bordering on a national security threat to America, and I hope the WH is keeping it's eyes and ears on the like of Limpballs, Hannity, Beck, and the hyper-religious preachers and militia/teabag groups. They are not 'right'.

7. no, limbaugh and sons can rationalize anything and they have explained

today to 20 MIL and many others by osmosis, that the numbers are rigged. case closed. to night even heck of a god job brownie, who reaches about 35 states at night from the giant denver limbaugh station, explained 'garbage in, garbage out'.

so there's no question the CBO numbers are wrong. and limbaugh even called for a fed ex and ups deluge of washington offices on saturday.

8. on facebook, i'm seeing a serious meltdown-

I'm kind of scared of the posts to come in the next few days.
It's like a mask peeling off to show a true self... not pretty at all.

9. They will attack the CBO... I know because I have seen this movie before

either that or they will claim arm twisting went on... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OCHUi8CCgQ

10. here's one for you

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Congress'%20phony%20price%20tags:%20legislators%20have%20a%20lousy%20track%20record%20of...-a0218656899

11. Here is a posit back at you....

If they have underestimated costs in the past, is it also possible they have underestimated the amount this will reduce the deficit in this bill since it is a deficit reducer?

Factor in the fact that if there are provisions in the bill that reduce medical costs by a number of methods. Would it not be safe to assume that if the costs of the bill rise, then the savings of the plan is even greater than before considering that the underlying medical costs would have continued to rise and been more expensive under the old system?

[nutsnberries]

12. yes, i'm with you on that

it was an immediate posting I saw this afternoon as soon as the cbo report came out.

[Divine Discontent]

13. ha! slick argument - I like it. Interesting indeed - if they're saying it will cost more, then that

means the other numbers that would need to be figured sans-HCR would also be higher (not necessarily, but most likely).

Good pt!

[LiberalFighter]

14. The CBO supposedly analyzes the numbers conservatively

[Divine Discontent]

15. really? wow. then they're really blowing smoke outta their arses complaining about the #'s then

of course, if the thing ever goes to vote we could stop worryin' about the CBO figures, but since the Grand Obstructionist Party keeps doing their 'job', we may never get a fricking vote on this! One of those GOP senators needs to have their scandals told to them in private so they change their votes, surely they know of someone's malfeasance.

[damonm]

17. That's already happening.

16. Teabaggers are a spiteful bunch of overgrown juvenile delinquents

They'd rather steal from those who can least afford it than see to it that the real thieves--the Wall Street crooks, insurance company racketeers, and other criminals operating above the law--pay back what they stole from the American people.

Where did they learn their morality? From prison?
