What the F is this on youtube's front page about healthcare?
It's an ad for the youtube town hall thing and features two pictures, side by side. One reads "free healthcare" and there's a picture of an elderly woman and one reads "free of debt" and it's a picture of a baby. And you pick one. The current results are 43% for "free healthcare" and 57% for "free of debt"

Who the fuck is responsible for this misinformed bullshit? To suggest that we just need to forego "free healthcare" and we're magically debt free...wtf? When did our healthcare become free? And since when was healthcare the reason for our debt?

Fucking pisses me off. Anyone else seeing it? I'm about to write youtube a message.

2. It's part of the "YouTube Town Hall"....
"a Moral Fight or an Unjust War" was the question I saw.

Info:

YouTube Town Hall is an online platform for members of Congress to debate and discuss the most important issues of the day. Visitors can select an issue, watch two short videos expressing competing ideas, and then support the one they agree with most. To help people focus on the merits of the idea and not the party of the speaker, the speaker's party isn't revealed until after a user decides which video to support. The most supported videos will be highlighted on the YouTube Town Hall Leaderboard.

The issues included on the site today are those that were the most popular on Google News and Search over the past year. From this point on though the YouTube community has the opportunity to ask (and vote on) the questions they want members of congress to answer. Every month members of congress will add new videos to the site answering a selection of the top-voted questions. Interested in lowering gas prices, or reforming the tax system, or making college more affordable? Visit YouTube.com/YtTownHallQuestions now to ask a question!
