Ark. crowd mocks lawmakers over Obama health plan

Since when do forum rules allow you to just spout "you lied" whenever you feel like it? You have repeatedly demonstrated yourself to be partisan, ignoring of the facts, and blind to evidence that challenges your opinions.
Prove your claim of misrepresentation. Show me how I "lied", or else apologize.




Prove your claim and I'll apologize, and donate $100 bucks to the forum.
 
I'm not anti-corporation. There are places were they legitimately exist. Healthcare is just not one of them.
How do you figure that people who work for compensation in healthcare aren't legitimately in business, what is your criteria for private versus public since obviously you have a differing opinion than the constitution of the United States. Face it, healthcare is a business.
Anyone with even a measure of common sense can tell you that there is something inherently flawed with "For-profit" healthcare corporations.
Bull****, it's a service like anything else.
 
I have seen one or two stories saying that a couple of people are paid lobbyists.

That does not encompass the whole of the people who are against this.
I am not a paid lobbyist, yet I am against it and I use clear cut researched facts.

But do you show up at town hall meetings and yell so that no dialogue is possible? Those are the people I am speaking of, they are paid, bused in, and trained to disrupt gatherings which are the very fabric of democracy. They do not attempt to participate in these meetings, their goal is to shut them down. Are you saying you support this activity and deny that it is contrived?
 
I'll do the same.




That's 200 bucks and 2 apologies if you can prove your claim will.


So what say you? :2wave:


You made this statemen of fact. Not as opinion as one claimed but as of fact.

If you prove it, I will apologize for calling it a lie and donate $100 to the forum. apdst will do the same:


You do realize this "groundswell" is phony, the "grass roots activists" paid for and bused in, the same ones being bused all around the country.You do realize this entire charade is paid for by billionaire rightwing activists and coordinated through the Republican party. Of course you realize that, you are just playing your part in the circus. "Seems a ground swell has started"....bullcrap.

If you say I lied, it is on you to prove it. Otherwise you are flaming and baiting.

You want proof? Let's start with this. Watch this report and tell me where it is factually incorrect.

I think that a great many of these individuals are upset, as I am, because of the great amount of deceit that is used in presenting the case for some sort of government health care.

I will concede that some conservative talk show hosts go to extremes to rally their supporters but I do not believe that the majority of these people are paid by the insurance lobby.

You have to remember though that both sides do this and they do it with great regularity.
 
Rachael Maddow is your proof?!?!? :rofl

She patronizes the American people and that's your proof? Say it ain't so, Joe!

Rachel Maddow Show




Obama does the gay sex and smokes crack. Prove I am lying or its true...

It's on both of you.

You claim that these are paid protesters, so you need to provide proof.

He also made an assertion (one that should be a violation of forum rules), and should have to back it up as well.

The reality is that the Republican Party has clearly indicated that they are going to be the "Party of No".

About damn time, too. They've spent the last 16 years being the party of Can't We All Just Get Along, and allowed the Democrats to wreck the country in the process.

They continually draw a line in the sand and have all agreed to stand together, be it with the economic stimulus plan, universal healthcare, etc.

Hopefully, they've drawn lines in the wet cement so they can't be moved later.
 
You do realize this "groundswell" is phony, the "grass roots activists" paid for and bused in,

This would be true if they were Democrats interrupting a Republican meeting, as they do all the time, think ACORN.

But it's citizens expressing opposition to your Messiah.

If you have evidence of commercial backers, name them.

Yeh, this is what I expected, and why I said no proof would be acceptable to you. The MSNBC report offers solid reporting, and I asked you to watch it and then state any inaccuracies. You didn't even watch it, did you?
 
Personally, I agree with UHC, because I think it is absolutely absurd to base a healthcare system on "for-profit" corporations. These corporations are not altruistic and in it to help people. They exist to make a profit for themselves and their shareholders. They don't make a profit if they are providing all the healthcare that their customers need. They make a profit by rationing healthcare and denying coverage where they can.
That's just simple logic.

First, thanks for being level headed in at least respectin the fact there's legitimate reasons people may be on either side.

That said...

I never fully got the whole "Corporations are corrupt and not out for the best interest of people so we need to trust in the government".

The government can not, and isn't, corrupt?

That seems to be a news flash to me.

Government beuacracies and politicians are aulturistic, out to help people? How is this true any more than big businesses is? For example, if politicians that are so, soooo, against smoking believe its so harmful why do they not just ban it? Wouldn't that be being aulturistic and trying to help people? But they won't, because too much money is generated by it, and they need that revenue to help them do projects to help them get in power.

What keeps politicians in powers, especially democratic ones due to generally the feeling of many liberals and portiosn of their voting base (its statistical fact that many in the lower classes are democrats)? Increasing the amount of government programs that give things to individuals that they can point to and say "see, this is what we've gotten for you". In a broader sense, bringing home projects to their people. Are you saying disney you honestly think all or most politicians do this because of the goodness in their hearts and the desire to help people and not because its what's most likely to help them get re-elected?

Government agencies are filled with leagues of red tape, more worried often times in covering its own ass than actually doing anything. Service divisions, while perhaps having caring people at the bottom, are run much the same as a corporation at the top with many of the same worries. Waste of tax payer money is actually ENCOURAGED in these agencies (I've witnessed it first hand in my job) when the end of a year is coming and there's left over money in the budget they go out and spend it on anything and everything they can imagine and justify so that the next year they can justify demanding a larger budget instead of having it cut.

I think really it comes down to which corrupt, out for its own interest entity you want to have lording over your...private corporation or public government. I honestly don't see them all that different in regards to the dangers, individual alterior motives, and corruption. What I do see a difference is that companies, even major ones, have gone under and been brought under fire legaly in this country. Government agencies and welfare-esque programs in this country however have shown over and over again an ability to simply continue to throw tax payer money at it and continue on despite any issues it may have. That's my take on it.

You don't even know what ACORN does, do you?

My proof precedes this remark, either find inaccuracies in it or make an apology. I'll link to it again, if you can't demonstrate how this story is untrue or incorrect, then you are lying and owe the forum a hundred bucks. It's time to put up or shut up.

We accept your concession.
 
FYI, when was the last time a Republican ever balanced a budget? You know who DID in fact balance a budget? Why it was (D) Bill Clinton who handed off to (R) George W. Bush a surplus.

Amazing how Democrats can continue to remain ignorant.

The Rapist President never had a balanced budget, and certainly never showed a legitimate surplus.

The numbers finagled by the Dums included all sorts of illegal accounting gimmicks.

There was nothing in that piece that confirmed what you claim.


Please quote or at least point out at what moment timewise in that video you want me to review as none of it proved your contention:



You do realize this "groundswell" is phony, the "grass roots activists" paid for and bused in, the same ones being bused all around the country.You do realize this entire charade is paid for by billionaire rightwing activists and coordinated through the Republican party. Of course you realize that, you are just playing your part in the circus. "Seems a ground swell has started"....bullcrap.

The ENTIRE STORY is about the claim of protestors being paid and bused in. You ask what part to watch? How about everything between the beginning and the end?
 
You don't even know what ACORN does, do you?

ACORN..

...submits falsified voter registration forms.
...hires Black Panther terrorists to imtimidate whiteys away from their polling places.
...submits Absentee Ballots in the districts their canvassing then fly home to vote in their home districts.
...engage in massive voter fraud.


Yeah, we know what ACORN really does.
