i sure as shite know they're 'fibbing'

i'm not sure if the lemmings know or not. sometimes i think they DO know and are using any old excuse to accuse the president of non existent infractions simply because he's black. at other times i think they DON'T know and really ARE lemmings (plus they still don't like the fact the president of the united states of america is black)


The public knows the GOP is fibbing

Only Republicans really buy the anti-healthcare reform lies. So why are some Dems settling for such an awful bill?

"I can't tell you how many foreign leaders who are heads of center-right governments say to me, I don't understand why people would call you socialist. In my country, you'd be considered a conservative." -- President Obama, Sept. 20, 2009

There have always been two basic arguments for health insurance reform: one based in morality, the other self-interest. For a documented 45,000 persons to die prematurely in America each year because they can't afford proper care is a national disgrace. Almost everybody apart from "conservatives" whose moral imagination is limited to judging other people's sex lives understands that.

The current cruel, wasteful system is indefensible. Surely that's why almost three-quarters of physicians polled by the New England Journal of Medicine favor genuine reform. About 63 percent of doctors surveyed nationwide support a public option; 10 percent would prefer a single-payer system, basically Medicare for everybody.........

here's my favorite line from the article:

"For all the hullabaloo, it appears alarmist rhetoric hasn't scared ordinary people as much as it has cable TV anchors."

wonderful!

Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell, 'Mad Men' star team up to mock health insurance firms

"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm and comedy legend Will Ferrell are meeting on the silver screen.

Well, not exactly. But they appear alongside Olivia Wilde of "House," Thomas Lennon of "Reno 911," Robert Ben Garant of "Reno 911," Masi Oka of "Heroes," Jordana Spiro of "My Boys," Linda Cardellini of "ER" and Donald Faison of "Scrubs" in the latest MoveOn.org salvo against the private health insurance industry: an ad mocking the private insurance companies' CEOs.

Among the lines:

"If my kid falls off his bike and breaks his leg, he should pay for that out of his pocket, out of his allowance."

"If you spell something wrong, do you really deserve surgery? I don't think so."

" They need to make big profits so they can afford to give their employees health insurance. Believe me, that stuff ain't cheap.".........
