[Kdillard]

1. So he is okay for mandating people go off and die in war and to pay taxes but getting healthcare no

that can't be mandated?

[annabanana]

2. I'm not sure how much time each speaker has before they get

the gavel.

[annabanana]

3. (rec me up guys)

[Kdillard]

4. No prob.

[gademocrat7]

5. K&R

[jenmito]

6. K&R.

[annabanana]

7. fear monger Shimkus "the evils of single payer".. foot in the door

arguement.

Along with the death panel arguement

[jenmito]

9. We WISH it would be single payer! They just lie about EVERYTHING!

[Kdillard]

10. Well we can argue that if this works Republicans are scared they will become

even more irrelevent.

[eleny]

12. I like having a foot in the door

[annabanana]

16. I prefer a nose under the tent. . n/t

[Kdillard]

8. Go Dems they are speaking well and showing compassion. I love the story

the story of the woman who says that he likes his healthcare because he has never had to use it. There are far too many stories like that.

[aSpeckofDust]

11. Notice the difference between the dem and repub speeches?

Life and hope vs fear and hate XD

[Parker CA]

13. John Larson reminds me so much of Teddy in presence and voice.

[annabanana]

14. I'm LOVING Larson. . Just making sense all over the place. . n/t

[Graybeard]

15. Barton just complained that he couldn't go to Vegas today.

Yeah Joe, this is all about you isn't it? These Repukes are brain-dead fools.

[janx]

17. I noted that in the last thread. If that guy were my Rep., I'd be

so embarrassed!

A historic day that is today, that he laments that he'd rather be gambling? WTF?

[annabanana]

18. Deal (R Ga) claiming that the Constitution forbids this bill.

[Parker CA]

19. Nathan Deal is a shmuck. nt.

[livetohike]

20. Barton and Deal trying to show their constituents how stupid

and uncaring they are, I guess. Let me add worthless.

[Maestro]

49. He's my rep and he has been worthless

for as long as he has been in Congress.

[annabanana]

21. "Time has Expired". . shut up dumb repug. . n/t

[AndyA]

22. Blackburn telling us about the horrors people endure in other countries

waiting to see a doctor. Sometimes horrible things happen to them while they're waiting.

So much better to just stay home and die without any hope of medical care at all, right?

(I'm thinking of a 4-letter word for this woman, but I won't use it here.)

[Graybeard]

24. That was bat-shit-crazy Marsha Blackburn.

Still quoting discredited Betsy McCaughey?!:crazy:

[annabanana]

23. Boner comes up to pretend that he doesn't know how Congress works. . n/t

[janx]

25. He never fails to disappoint, does he?

He's the only minority leader I've heard of that doesn't know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. :rofl:

[tosh]

26. Are you sure he's pretending?

:rofl:

[annabanana]

27. yeah.. He's not stupid, he's evil . . n/t

[annabanana]

28. Charlie Rangel up for 3 minutes! . GO you rascal you. . n/t

[Parker CA]

29. Even though we're going against the party of No, that will vote No, we're happy to carry this burden

to pass this legislation and to work under the leadership of this president and our committee chairs.

Nice. Sock it to 'em, Charlie!!

[Graybeard]

31. He looks good at age 79.

I hope to have that much fight in me when I'm pushing 80!

[annabanana]

30. Shouldn't Ralph Hall be dead by now?

[eleny]

32. Ralph Hall, R, Texas thinks his district is a composite of the rest of the country

:rofl:

[Iwillnevergiveup]

33. Just read Stupak (D-Mich)

is a member of The Family. Great.

[annabanana]

35. yuppers. although he claims he "just rented a room there"

and maybe "went to a couple of prayer meetings".. You know, nothing serious.

[Hepburn]

36. Yeah, but why....

....does he keep humming "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" under his breath?

:evilgrin:

[annabanana]

34. repugs: "Money Money Money" . . Dems "HealthCare HealthCare Healthcare"

Big difference.

[Graybeard]

37. It's as if they are on two different planets.

Repukes delusional and just making stuff up and Democrats addressing the needs and wants of the people.

[annabanana]

38. Patrick Murphy (Blue Dog Pa).. speaking in support, gets extra strokes

from Waxman

[Graybeard]

39. Barton the buffoon.

Once again showing what an oaf he is. "How much time do I have Mr. Chairman? I wasn't listening."

[Sky Masterson]

40. Shadegg brings out a baby prop

And talks for it.. :eyes: :wtf:

[aSpeckofDust]

41. Wow a shock, a repub using a baby to further their bullsh.. N/t

[AndyA]

47. Was it an embryo or a born child?

Because after they're born, the GOP doesn't give a shit what happens to them.

Education? Why? We just need them to go serve in one of our wars.

Health care? If they're strong enough, they will survive to go get killed in a war.

Loving parents? They can enlist in the military when they're of age and go off to war.

See a pattern? GOP = the party of hate.

[Kdillard]

42. Shameless using a baby as a prop for the lies.

[vaberella]

43. That was disgusting on so many levels. n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

46. He used a real child? n/t

[Kdillard]

54. Yes he did the shameless bastard.

[demwing]

44. Rep Shadegg is a TOOL

Maddy doesn't approve of being used by ugly ole Republicans, and her parents should be ashamed to have pimped her out.

[Graybeard]

45. But it will get on all the news shows.

Guaranteed.

[dmr]

51. yea, john stewart will have a ball with it

:rofl:

[demwing]

48. I love it when the Republicans use their time to talk sports

keep it up!

[demwing]

50. Yeah, more Republican sports

lets talk high school football now!

[annabanana]

52. Some of the R's really sound like the craziest t-bagging goobers

out there.

[demwing]

53. LIAR

Apply this to any of the Republicans speaking now, in the past, or in the future

[demwing]

55. Ok. Smoke 'em if you got 'em

[Sky Masterson]

56. I think Debbie Wasserman is smoking hawt

Sorry..:evilgrin:

[SKKY]

59. I'm with you! I'd most definitely hit it.

[annabanana]

57. According to the Wonk Room tweets. there are teabaggers in the

gallery. http://twitter.com/wonkroom

[JimWis]

58. I think the repugs need some new material. Same ole crap they

have been shoveling since this all started. Quite a circus.

[annabanana]

63. They ARE getting a bit repetitive, aren't they?

[brentspeak]

60. They should call this the $1 trillion taxpayer gift to private health insurance Act

Or maybe the 350-million-Americans are now captive customers of the private health insurance racket Act.

Kill this stupid bill.

[jenmito]

61. Why don't they READ the bill while they carry it around everywhere they go? n/t

[Kdillard]

62. That would just refute all the garbage they are spewing better not to

spoil the fun.

[jenmito]

64. I doubt it would stop them.

They have no shame and no problem lying.

[annabanana]

65. "Showtime" I'll see your infant and raise you two grade schoolers.

Sorry Stark, two wrongs don't make a right.

[jenmito]

66. The next Dem should ask that Repub. if he'd vote for the bill if they put tort reform in the bill.

[Sebastian Doyle]

68. Uh, yeah, right.

Let's have mandatory corporate insurance AND kill the ability to sue a doctor when they fuck up.

Do you ever want to win an election again?

[Sky Masterson]

67. Breaking.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMV44yoXZ0
Republican game book leaked....(Not a rick roll)

[annabanana]

69. heh

[annabanana]

70. John Lewis speaking on the Dictates of Conscience

and being on the right side of History.

[Graybeard]

72. Passionate and heartfelt.

And he has walked the walk.

[butterfly77]

71. Boner is a piece of shit!

[Graybeard]

73. Stupid and obnoxious.

Asks Rangle a question and then does not allow him to answer. Rangle had to school him on the rules and procedures of the House.

[jenmito]

74. This is the 2nd time today he asked someone if there's a guarantee that the Stupak amendment`

would be in the final bill if it passes. I wish Rangel would've replied, "Would YOU promise to vote for the bill if it is?"

[janx]

75. Yep. He did the same thing to Waxman.

I'd love to be able to talk to the people who elected that clown.

[butterfly77]

76. I have been watching off and on ..

and they are really showing their asses today,getting in line like little children and reciting the same lines. Their theme is suppose to be the economy,which they fucked up. These are some of the lyinnnnest bastards!!!

[annabanana]

78. I like Rangel's response.. . n/t

[fugop]

77. We need another chart!

You know what kind of bar chart I'd like to see? I'd like to see a bar chart showing a diversity breakdown of speakers on behalf of the GOP and speakers on behalf of Dems. Men, women, people of color, regional representation. I'd like to see that graphic up there.

[annabanana]

79. How about a clock of Americans as they die from lack of health care?

[annabanana]

80. What's the number?. . 120 a day or something like that.

[Graybeard]

81. Rep Paschell NJ: Same Repuke arguments were made against Medicare

How many seniors would have died without it?

[demwing]

82. It is amazing what passes for "debate"

When all we are given is a soap box that passes back and forth between majority and minority party, in 1 minute increments.

Nothing is really debated. Most have no interest in anything other than their own voice.

[demwing]

83. How Long, Rep Meeks?

Not Long!

[Graybeard]

85. My congress critter.

I don't like his position an a lot of things but on this he was excellent.

[Politicub]

84. How much longer until the vote?

:bounce:

Oh, this this asshole speaking from Georgia is a liar.

[Graybeard]

86. Rep Conyers thanks Kucinich and Weiner.

He says fellow advocates for single-payer are on board to vote for this bill.

[Moosepoop]

87. Good for Andrews!

Addressing some of the blatant lies the Repubs have been spewing. This should have been getting done all along.

[janx]

89. He's GOOD!

Finally, someone is addressing these assertions!

[demwing]

88. FINALLY some rebuttal

thank you Rep Andrews, about damn time someone responded to the lies.

[prolesunited]

90. I agree

I got sick of hearing all the lies go unopposed

[demwing]

92. A CONSUMER take over of Health Care!!!

YEEHAW!

[Politicub]

93. That was excellent. Dems saving the big guns until the last few minutes

The repugs are clearly freaking out. They know how unpopular this bill will make them once people get a taste of health care reform. This bill will only grow and improve over time.

[Kdillard]

91. Excellent rebuttal.

[annabanana]

94. NEW THREAD UP!!
