1. Teabaggers in D.C. today ought to be made to watch this
Maybe a little "Clockwork Orange" treatment is in order.

It's tough to watch the entire video but well worth it. Grayson has made some mistakes along the way but he's a treasure.

I agree. Sobering.

3. His videos are going to be a part of history
An important section in the archives of this decades long struggle.

4. It's amazing how something so simple
is so effective. He's telling the stories through the words of the people themselves. Dems for too long never wanted to touch the aspect of people dying from lack of health care because they knew it was a touchy subject and hard for people to think of it. But it's necessary to hear these things. It makes the GOP look stupid, they're talking about Death Panels and Socialism and this guy is out there talking about saving lives and showing just how lives were lost so that we can stop that from happening again.

5. Contrast him with the teabaaggers today
I read here today how they recited The Pledge and then one of them stuck her tongue out at the camera. How mindless.

I don't really think that Grayson's recitation would soften their hard hearts. But it keeps me resolved and I refuse to be demoralized when we don't get Medicare for all or even the best public option.

This legislation will be ground breaking because it's the first time in history when the health insurance lobby lost a fight. I have to keep reminding myself how serious this is. It's like the first hammer that hit the Berlin Wall. And we know how that ended up.

:hi:

6. They would ignore it.
Teabaggers don't give a shit unless it affects them personally.

9. Some of those stories could be teabaggers
Remember, this is the relatives writing in about them. They themselves could have been as crazy as a loon. Or follow up with these teabaggers in another year, when some of their health problems may catch up with them. It DOES affect them personally, but they don't even have a clue.
