"Some Democrats get booed at home on healthcare
Some congressional Democrats aren’t exactly being welcomed home with open arms as they try to take the temperature of constituents on healthcare.
And it is MORE than just healthcare!
It is the UNENDING WARS, the BANK LOOTINGS, and the LYING!!!!!!!!!!
Representative Lloyd Doggett was shouted down over the weekend by an angry crowd in Austin, Texas, that yelled, “Just Vote No.’’
And Senator Arlen Specter and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius were booed and jeered at a healthcare town hall at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Democratic leaders and the White House were pushing for votes in the full House and Senate before the monthlong recess, in part because they knew that opponents would mobilize.
Frustrated with the pace of bipartisan talks, Democratic leaders vowed yesterday to push a bill through the Senate whether they get Republican support or not.
Yeah, to HELL with what the American people want!
And they WONDER why they are getting BOOED?
WASHINGTON - Bracing for an August showdown on healthcare, Senate Democrats and President Obama declared themselves united on their determination to enact a historic overhaul this year - ideally with Republican cooperation but without if necessary.
Whether the American people like it or not!!!!

With his top domestic priority hanging in the balance, Obama summoned Senate Democrats to the White House yesterday for a luncheon cheerleading session on healthcare and other pending issues.
House members left last week for their August recess, and senators follow this week. The lengthy recess, during which lawmakers return to their district to listen to constituents, could become a turning point in the divisive healthcare debate.
Only if they DO NOTHING!!
I SAY SINGLE-PAYER or BUST!!!

“There was absolute unity,’’ the top Senate Democrat, Harry Reid of Nevada, said after the talks. “Different ideas were expressed, but every idea was that we understand that before year’s end we’re going to get comprehensive healthcare reform.’’
Whether you like it or not, 'murka! Get your wallet out!

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama told the senators that passing health overhaul legislation would be among the most important things they would ever do in the Senate - and that signing it would be among the most important things he would do as president....
So the country doesn't default, huh?
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who is the chief Senate shepherd of a healthcare bill. “The American people do not like partisanship. But the American people also don’t like groups of people trying to kill something that should be done, should get passed.’’
No, we DON'T, Max, so END the WARS, give us SINGLE PAYER, stop funding LOOTING BANKS, and quit sending checks to Iz-ray-HELL!!!!!
Meanwhile, the White House turned to the Internet to hit back at a Web posting that purports to show Obama explaining how his healthcare overhaul plans eventually would eliminate private insurance.
The three-minute White House video features Linda Douglass, a former network television correspondent and now White House Office of Health Reform communications director, sitting in front of a computer screen showing the widely viewed Drudge Report website. That site carries a series of video clips from a conservative blogger who strings together selected Obama statements on healthcare to make it appear he wants to eliminate the private health insurance business.
“Well, nothing can be farther from the truth,’’ Douglass says in the video, adding that the blogger is “taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they’re cobbling them together to leave a very false impression.’’
Translation: He is ACTING like a JEWSPAPER!!!!!!!!!!!
On its blog, the White House also urges supporters to keep an eye out and alert it to anything “on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy.’’
Obama's Hitler Troops, 'eh?
And when was the last time the Globe got so caught up in what a BLOGGER SAID?

Also yesterday, the leading health insurance trade group hit back at Democrats’ growing criticism of the industry. In recent weeks Obama has taken to referring to his initiative as “health insurance reform,’’ while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused insurers last week of making “obscene’’ and “immoral’’ profits.
So where you been, Nan? S*** fooleys for the public.
Karen Ignagni, president of America’s Health Insurance Plans, contended the attacks were motivated by increasing public doubts about the introduction of a public insurance plan to compete with the private market. Insurers contend the plan would drive them out of business.
Good.
People in the health insurance industry “do not deserve to be demonized or vilified as part of a campaign to distract attention away from the sinking support for a government-run program,’’ Ignagni said on a conference call.
Yeah, for the one they are proposing, which is no reform at all!

Actually, they DO DESERVE to be VILIFIED, don't they?
Ignagni did not disclose names and declined to say whether her group, which has been working with lawmakers and is running positive TV ads supporting bipartisan health overhaul, would walk away from the table or go negative against Obama’s agenda.
Of course, their main concern is YOUR HEALTH, right?
