idiots on my tv!!!
I walk into my room to give my husband a cup of coffee, and who is on my tv??? Why it's Jim Demint... talking about the healthcare bill. Talking about how the senate should read bills before they vote. they should debate.... well, they should read bills, i agree. WHy didn't reading bills seem to matter before though?? when you all rammed them through??? but NOW it matters?? I have to walk away because I start yelling at the tv and bob always gets mad. I mutter to myself about how he doesn't care because he HAS insurance.... that WE pay for... i ended up walking out of the room because I can't hear this crap anymore.

1. Was it Morning Joke? Fox and Fiends?
It's not safe to watch cable TV in the morning, unless you woke up with Al Roker.

5. Great guest on the Colbert Report last night arguing why Single Payer is the only way to go
Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 06:36 AM by Hissyspit
A medical doctor Aaron Carroll. Did a great job arguing against Colbert's faux right-winger persona. Here's the interview: http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=239365

Guess the network and cable news don't want educated guests like that.

6. Yep...The GOOP Did A Great Job On The Patriot Act
What make this line such a sham is we know exactly what this scumbag wants...to keep the status quo, and if possible, let the insurance companies get even more power to play god.

I think there needs to be a "full disclosure" law in place here. How much money has Demint taken in from the insurance lobby...I think if voters learned how in the bag he and others are who want a "delay"...just means they can take in even more bucks.

My bets are even if he could read the bill, he hasn't...a close mind never comprehends.

I've shut off the teevee regarding the "health care" debate since it's not a debate...it's a PR war and those who are getting showered the money get the most visibility.
