Baron Hill a Blue Dog Democrat? Hardly. He calls Pelosi’s public option “a big win.” This is a bill that will result in penalizing Americans an estimated $167 billion if you think you don’t need insurance.

This is a bill that is 1990 pages long. They have 72 hours to read it. That’s reading 28 pages an hour, non-stop.

Transparency my ass.

Oh I love this. Michael Moore is now threatening Democrats that are waffling on Obamacare. In the mind of these democrats, what will be the threat that makes them decide one way or another. Michael Moore, or how their constituents feel?

Indiana Republicans want Baron Hill to apologize for labeling constituents who disagree with him as ‘terrorists’

Questioning comments he made to a Washington Post reporter in a story published Monday, the Indiana Republican Party called on Rep. Baron Hill to apologize for labeling constituents who disagree with his stance on health care reform as “political terrorists.”

“This is the worst sort of slap in the face an elected official can give to his constituents,” said Indiana Republican Party chairman Murray Clark. “He definitely owes an apology to the people of the 9th congressional district.”

Hill told the Washington Post‘s Peter Slevin, “What I don’t want to do is create an opportunity for the people who are political terrorists to blow up the meeting and not try to answer thoughtful questions.”

“It’s one thing for Baron Hill to not schedule any public forums and to refuse to hear the public’s opinion on an issue,” said Clark. “It’s another level of disrespect entirely when he goes out of his way to call anyone who disagrees with him a ‘terrorist.’”

The Indiana Republican Party sees Hill’s comments as part of an orchestrated effort by national Democrats to quiet growing concerns about their health care reform legislation.

“Baron Hill is just following the marching orders he’s receiving from Washington,” said Clark. “The White House is calling anyone who disagrees with them ‘an angry mob’ and Nancy Pelosi says anyone who disagrees with her is ‘un-American.’ Baron Hill is just falling in line behind national Democrats. It’s sad to see him so easily discount the legitimate concerns of seniors, small business owners and Hoosiers from all walks of life.”

Architect of Health Care Takeover Attempts to Appease Lap Dogs with ‘Watered Down’ Offer

Washington- As Democrat leaders begin to flail in desperation to revive their flagging healthcare takeover, Baron Hill may have just heard an offer he can’t refuse. Hill and his fellow Blue Dogs have been in negotiations with their party bosses as Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman attempt to force their bill to a vote in Congress. Today, Waxman offered Hill a ‘watered-down’ compromise in order to get him on board with his party bosses and leave Indiana families in the rearview mirror.
