1. How in the world can our country allow this? What a mature young man.

He will be in my heart.

[The Wielding Truth]

2. I hope this makes it on the TV, the same as the Anti Bill propaganda.

Large issues like this should have equal time for both sides.

3. What a beautiful

spirit he has.

K and R for Marcelas and his Mom. May she rest in peace.

[Duke Newcombe]

4. Sorry, kid...unless

you have a quarter-million $$$ or more to buy a senator, scram.

5. That really is a touching story. There is just one nagging question:

Now why do we need to turn over 30 million additional customers and $70B of our money, by force of law, to the Private For-Profit Corporations whose policies and practices are the root cause of the problem in the first place?

It isn't a reform bill any more than a three musketeers bar has sword fighters in it. Truth in labeling might make it the Crony Payback Farce of 2010 or alternatively Further Proof that the People Aren't the Boss of Congress in America.

7. K & R That ! But I call Bull Shit on this Thread.

We've seen every tactic available played to prop up this Corporate Monstrosity
that Obama calls HCR. I have no reason to doubt that this kid's motives are
pure as the white driven snow but the beast thing I can say for this is that
he is seriously deluded if he thinks the continued privatizing and subsidizing
of corporate America would in any way help his mother or any other mothers for that matter.

So in keeping with my trusty BullShit Detector which has never let me down yet I'm calling

BULL SHIT

On this Thread
I smell a balloon boy !

Nice try Rahm. But you need to stick to what you do best with the Fuck You's and all.

Now go away, And take your bullshit with ya.

Yea I know, It worked for the TeaBag's

[Action]

8. Oh yea

I smell a heartless hateful person who doesn't care about anyone but himself.

How many Americans have to die until you get it? Oh wait, I see.

You or someone you love has to die before you'll get it.

Okay. When that happens get back to us!

[SlingBlade]

9. Whatever Rahm.

15. Welcome to DU, Action!

12. This isn't health care reform - it is the Health Insurance Bailout Bill of 2010

If people truly understood that this bill is just empowering a corrupt industry to get an even stronger hold on the health care system, they would be aghast that they ever supported it.

This is one of those bills that in the future, you will not find a single dem ever admitting to supporting it.

17. Oooh a dismissive name! Well that's is, our arguments have all been trumped by the rapier

wit of a label machine. Not.

11. This is exactly what I've been telling legislators who vote against or

impede healthcare. When they have, I applaud them for helping to pass CHIP if they did but when they then go on to vote against healthcare for adults (or throw huge wrenches into the system, as my asshole C-Street DINO rep has done), I say, "huh? You want the kid to live but you don't give a damn if his parents live or die?" Seems a tad screwy to me! RIght to life, my ass.

13. Senate Democrats, huh. Tisk, Tisk, Tisk

11-year-old Marcelas Owens flew across the country from Seattle this week to join Senate Democrats in Washington, DC to rally support for an end to insurance industry abuses. Marcelas has been an advocate for health care reform since his mother died after she fell ill and lost her job and insurance coverage. "I am here because of my mom," said Owens. "My mom was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in 2006. She missed so much work she lost her job. And when my mom lost her job, she lost her health care. And losing her health care ended up costing her her life." Senate Democrats are working to put an end to insurance industry abuses that have denied coverage to hard working Americans when they get sick and need it the most.

The same exact Senate Democrats who rejected a public option to compete with the monopoly
insurance companies, The Same Senate Democrats who rejected Medicare for All, These same
Senate Democrats shamelessly parading an 11 year old boy out to shill for their corporate
shit wagaon called the Senate Health Care Reform Bill.

This has RHAM EMMANUEL written all over it !

Your DUers should be ashamed of yourselves for participating in this naked shill

This is Bull Shit !
Count me as an un-rec !

REMEMBER THIS ?

THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT BETTER TOO !

Different Day, Same old Corporate Bull Shit!
