RNC Radio Ad: Blue Dogs ‘Rolled Over,’ ‘Folded Like a Lawn Chair’

The American public is angry over this fraudulent “health care” plan with good reason. Obama has a single payer agenda as demonstrated by his clear statement recorded on a video. Obama now want Democrats to send him the names of people who disagree with him? I hope people realize what a monster they have elected.

brian, take a breather from your Rush-induced delusion. nobody’s trying to take away your healthcare (or your guns or your “freedom” etc). at some point, you may wake up and realize that massive changes have to be made to the system in place or anyone under 45 is going to have HUGE BILLS to pay and there won’t be ANY choice then. if you’re getting paid by insurance co’s or the RNC for your post, congrats. if not, you’re just the latest sucker shill.

NCPilot, stop being disingenuous. “All” you’re asking for is NOT that your lawmakers read and understand before voting into law. Try that on someone who doesn’t know the game. And the silly fear-mongering of “they’re going to take your healthcare away” is just that: fear-mongering. It’s the same garbage that drug us into Iraq and kept us there for a bill that’s now over $1 trillion. An amount that could solve the healthcare issue.

Bill, take a breather from your MSM indused delusion. Yes your messiah is trying to take away your liberties and my guns and a lot of other rights that this country was founded on. But you just keep on believing that this is “for your own good” and leave it to the thinking Americans to stop this train wreck.

Let’s all remember that this plan is giving health care to people who DON’T HAVE IT! If you have insurance you will not notice a change! Do I totally trust the Govt. No But it is time we start taking care of our own. In the long run just with peventitive care, we will save billions. I don’t hear anybody who does not have insurance saying that this is a bad idea! Remember that could be you some day!!! If you think the the insurance industry is going to let the system change then you’re a fool, things will remain the same and the insurance companies will capitalize one way or anothe off this reform.

Steve, we are all for health care reform but you are wrong in saying people who have insurance will not be affected. You have no idea what is being proposed and until this process become bi-partisan and not shoved down our throats i will not support it, period. The Govt. cannot run medicare and medicaid now, why do you think that they will do a better job running a national health care plan??? Call your congressman and tell them you want a bi-partisan health care plan.

I received an email from a friend (it had about 3 rounds of forwards) detailing what someone thought were the most concerning points about the proposed health care bill with PDF attached. I have read portions of it (at 1000+ pages, it is a weighty tome!) in order to understand what our elected officials are trying to do for us… er… to us. The bill basically reads like an employer health plan document, only a little more complicated. As I went through the points that this email was concerned about, it became apparent that the originator was less than honest in their assessment, and EXTREMELY paranoid. But what the originator FAILED to point out was that this sucker is gonna be EXPENSIVE. As an engineer we used to have a saying when costing a machine to a customer – $100 for every drilled hole, $200 if we thread it. Following the same logic, socialized medicine is going to cost us $3 million per page, $6 million per page when it becomes the only option. And that is reason enough to reject this BLOATED socialist package.

billy bob, yes, I know, you’ve been told that if it’s not on Fox or Rush, it’s “MSM” and therefore wrong. keep shilling for insurance; they appreciate it. and they don’t even have to pay you because you’re been so hoodwinked. Remember: if you don’t hear it from the clowns on Fox and Friends, then it’s “drive-by and biased.”

Bill, i’m quite sure that I would prefer that someone who is so easily influenced by the MSM to NOT be my wing man. So thanks for declining. You are absolutely right that I am hoping for stall, question, and stall and question. That is my exact point. I will continue to ask for stalling and questioning until this bill has time to see the light of day. And I see nothing wrong with that. As far as my being unhinged? I’m not sure why you see any unhinging on my part, except for the fact that you seem unable to handle the fact that some will just not march in lock step with you and the others that are demanding a bill be passed without even knowing what is in it. IF you think for yourself, you’ll be able to tell me what it is that has your panties in such a wad concerning statements by Rush, Sean. You condemn them, yet when called on it, you have nothing to show. See, I think for myself also. Often, I think that Sean goes overboard. But I get my news from many sources, including this liberal site (ABCNews) AND Foxnews. I can see the slant of both. I read both. And then I decide. I am just pointing out that i am thinking that you do not do that. I am thinking that you take the liberal view as gospel, then try to spread it. So, sir, again, i appreciate you not flying as my wing…since i do believe we are going in different directions.

Bill, you really are cluless as to how i think. I am a small business owner and I pay a small fortune every year to insurance companies. I rank them on the same level as attorneys. As far as where I get my news from it ios from multible sources including Fox and you should do the same instead of just deamonizing them because they might disagree with your pre concived notions. Use your brain that is why God gave it to you.

In every aspect of everything I do that involves spending money, when there is competition, the consumer (me) gets to choose what best suits me. For something as important as the health of my family, I reject the monopoly system that currently exists. Hospitals, insurance companies and big pharmaceutical control everything right now because they can. They have investors and executives that must be paid so the average person has to settle for the crumbs they give us while accepting higher and higher fees for diminishing results. Lets have a VA-like government run plan compete for our healthcare dollars. If we can provide the best care to our brave and dedicated soldiers as well as the best care to our Congress and other government workers, why can’t the average American have the choice of opting into such a plan? Why? Because that would break up the monopolies. Why are average Americans defending the status quo knowing they are defending outrageous executive pay and profits for investors? Because the lobbyists are delivering them by the buss-load to make it appears as though Americans just need to say “No” to reform. I can’t afford to have my family be without coverage and health care so I want my representatives to come up with a plan that guarantees everyone has access and there is competition in the marketplace. Americans LOVE competition in everything else so why would we settle for a monopoly on our most precious possession… our health?

Bill, maybe you should go back and read all of the posts between you and me. And while you are at it, check out the post between you and the other intelligent folks in here that you posted. I think that you will find that it is YOU that instigated the issues about blindly following and “Shilling” (that was your word, right?). And now you are here acting all offended that you have been called on your blatherings. And are using, almost, the exact words that I sent to you concerning your blind attack on me and others. I do appreciate that since imitation is the highest form of flattery. And now it does seem that you got my message and the meaning of my words. Thank you.

NCP, not offended at all. More amused. Go back and read the posts yourself. Perhaps you’ll recognize your glass house. BTW, 50% was a rhetorical tool intended to make the point that if we don’t fix the healthcare system, anybody who is younger than 45 now will be paying a huge tax bill 25 years from now. Who knows what % of our income it will be. But it will be huge. Look, the bottom line is the resistance to meaningful reform now (including the introduction of MORE competition through a public option) is being resisted by the entrenched interests of existing insurance companies and pharma. The cries of “don’t touch my healthcare” or the fear-mongering of “you’ll lose your healthcare” are being advanced by those who don’t realize whose bidding they’re unwittingly doing.

Bill, one cannot ‘unwittingly’ do the bidding of one’s own beliefs. My firm belief is, and has been, “do not allow a bill of this magnitude to be passed in the dark of the night. Do NOT do it behind closed doors. Let the citizen’s see and understand what the impact will be. Do not ask me to “trust” you since you have proven yourselves to be self serving and untrustworthy (both parties).” So, Bill, the bidding that i’m doing is my own. It is something that i fervently believe in: OPEN GOVERNMENT. Is that so wrong? Now, you and the poster below you (hang) talk about fear mongering by those of us who wish to actually see the bill before it is passed. Yet it is YOU that are doing the fear mongering (My insurance rates will go un-affordable, the economy will tank if we don’t pass this particular bill (Obama’s words), you will eventually lose your insurance coverage (paraphrased words of the above poster). I DID read the clause in the bill that will deny you private coverage if you change jobs. I know it’s there (or was). That is not fear mongering. It is exposing the truth that the secret government will not willingly let see the light of day. I heard with my own ears an administration official state that older people may be denied, say, hip joint replacement surgery, if they have little or no chance of returning to the status of “contributing citizen”. That is not fear mongering. It is searching out the truth. You claim to be a man that likes to think for himself, yet you take Obama and his cronies at their word that the health care reform bill is perfect and will cause no harm. I, one of a growing majority, refuse to take him at his word. SHOW US THE BILL BEFORE YOU PASS IT. Prove to us that you are not trying to take over the 7th largest private industry in the country the way you tried to take over the banking industry and the auto industry. Heck, it is the request of the majority of the people they represent. Is it not their job to represent all of us?

The Blue Dogs did fold and in some cases they may answer to voters for it. The health care reform issue is the billion-dollar corporations vs. ordinary people who know they will lose their insurnance as soon as they get an expensive illness. If the billion-dollar corporations are not part of the problem with their high costs and rescission, they would welcome the public plan. They could compete with it. But they can’t compete with the public plan while their CEOs continue to make more than twelve million a year and get seventy-three million dollar golden parachutes as does the CEO of Cigna. To compete with the public plan, they would have to reign in their cherry-picking and canceling insurance of the sick, as well as huge increases way over the amount of inflation. Enact a public option plan (such as congress enjoyes) and let the big corporations compete with it.

Let’s all remember that this plan is giving health care to people who DON’T HAVE IT! If you have insurance you will not notice a change! —————Maybe you don’t understand. I pay for my health care and do not want my hard earned taxes to pay for someone else’s. The govt money used to pay for this is ours. Call me selfish, but I spend alot of money in taxes every year and this will be even more.

It appears that there is alot of emotion involving the Health Care debate. I believe this is good when the outcome involves understanding and produces greater insight into the choices before us. There is no doubt Health Care Reform is an issue that many Presidents have attempted with very limited success. FDR wanted Health Care but was not successful but instead got SOcial Security. Lydon Johnson also was unsuccessful but instead got MedCare. Looking at the individuals involved in this group – one would think that its the 2008 Election all over again. Those who opposed President Obama are opposing him every step of the way on this. Our President campagned on this and he is attempting to make good on what he said he would do. If this was a sporting event it would be a somewhat even match – which is amazing considering what has happened with Health Care in the Past. I’m Retired Military – so I have a Great Insurance Plan – Government Run at that – but, I think Health Care Reform is needed and a Public Option is critical. I respect others who voted against the President in the past and still is not in favor of this policy. It’s a Great debate either way and as an American appreciate the fact that we’re having it.

What we need is ‘health cost’ reform. Not health ‘care’. If this bill doesn’t address tort law, it ain’t worth spit.

Billy Bob, I highly suggest you read page 16 of the House version. It specifically points out, once the bill becomes law…..”ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN ONTO THE GOVERNMENT PLAN.” What do you think eventually will happen to private insurers in the future if they no longer can sign up new subscribers? I am soon to retire and have no interest what so ever to be forced onto the government plan if my company decides it can no longer afford the higher rates, or my present insurance company goes out of business. You people who favor this Socialized medicine proposal being rammed down our throats had better read the bill….and…..WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You folks all know dang good and well that come 2012, everybody will have to be yanked out of office. Some of them WILL NOT GO QUIETLY. Then; after we get some folks who have brains and content between the ears; they’ll have to go through all this mess and repeal most of it. They will have to undo most of it in order to even begin a hope of repairing the financial damage in this country.

Attack ads from the GOP. Seems to me that kind of crap was what got them thrown out of office not once, but twice. And with that thought, I say to the GOP, “Yeah, baby! Bring on some more”. Hmm, what the definition of insanity again? Something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result…

well america, you get what you asked for!! don’t complain next year when the tax bill comes!! all these politicians do is lie and bait n switch!!! republicans, democrats… doesn’t matter! and you all fall for it EVERY time!! lol

Health care linked to employment is silly. We don’t work forever….

How many times do people change jobs these days?
How often do they change health insurance?

Let’s take the tax rebate of citizens with low incomes and buy them some health insurance. End of problem or is this too simple? I think many people are saying that it is unfair to raise taxes on working Americans to pay for health care for illegal people here in the USA.

Obama has closed his records to the public yet he wants all our medical records on a big government computer for all to see. What happened to personal privacy?

“he wants all our medical records on a big government computer for all to see” – Computerized records are being proposed so that if you have an accident in Kansas, your ER docs can access your North Carolina records to find out what allergies you have, pre-existing conditions, current meds, etc. Your paranoia is getting the best of you. Get a grip.

What I am reading here is alot of hypocrisy. PPl in one breath will boast that America is the greatist but then turn right around and say that the American system of Government cannot create a health plan for all Americans?
Do you not belive in great things that America can achieve? You want to trust health care to for-profit companies?
Why dont you explain how a for profit health care comapny is any different from AIG or other wallstreet comapnies?Do you really have no compassion or concern for people that cannot get health insurance from these companies?
Wow…I would think that all Americans ( who are proud to be Americans) would want a system that helps everyone in our society. America is the people…not the insurance companies.
Please tell us….the majority of Americans who want a good health care system…what is your plan that will help everyone instead of name calling?
You have no plan accept to do nothing.
I think your just only concerned about your own selves and not the common good of all American ppl. If you love America so much then why don’t you offer some help in making America a better place for all Americans. Nah…you cant do that because you want everyone elses slice of the American dream for a better life. You could care less if the American Dream lives or dies….as long as everything is all good for you.

I find it shocking that the FEW people who still have any form of healthcare, but who have no idea how much longer they will have it, don’t care if other people have any at all. You had best begin to care about someone other than yourselves, because what’s going to happen is that sooner or later your will be tagged with the bill ANYWAY, so you might as well make it more affordable for everybody NOW. Because when all is said and done, the insurance companies and their clients/your employer won’t have enough to put into the pot, and you will be saddled with the ENTIRE bill. Collectively, we all pay less, but when only a few have it, YOUR costs continue to rise. Wake up!
And another thing, we the people need to step up to the plate a protest those in public office who sit on the boards of these insurance companies. I’ll bet this is the reason for the opposition to national healthcare — they fear hefty pay cuts, since not only do they sit on the boards, but they also have stock in the pharmaceutical companies, and fear having their dividends plummet. This would be most members of the GOP (and some Democrats), who ALWAYS go for the money — at least their own, while not caring if the rest of us breathe!

“he wants all our medical records on a big government computer for all to see”
The records will be kept on a smart card, similar to a flash drive, that will be kept in your possession. When you go to the doctor they will read the information and return it to you.
What else you got? Black helicopters, Area 51, Bigfoot…?
