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.
Kids at the Ron Clark Academy located in Atlanta, GA appeared on the Clinton News Network (CNN) today, singing for health care reform set to Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA.” In the song they sing, “Obama says everyone needs health care now.”
The president of the Ron Clark academy is Alonzo Llorens, an attorney and ardent Obama supporter and contributor. He’s also contributed to the John (I never saw a Breck girl I wouldn’t hump) Edwards campaign.
Bill operates an Italian restaurant called “Casa D’ Ice” in North Versailles, PA and has became famous for his billboards. Here’s one I just love, which just went up today.
Earlier this week we reported that Michael Moore is threatening Blue Dog Democrats.
Moore: “To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want. That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election.”
We now have a video, from our new Friends at Newsy.com, after the leap.
In a roundtable with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer yesterday, Democratic freshman congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) had another episode of diarrhea of the mouth.
Earlier this week on the house floor he accused republicans of wanting sick Americans to “die quickly.” He was quickly rebuked by Indiana 5th district congressman Dan Burton.
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?
Today, CNN ran a story about how people die from not having health insurance. For starters, that’s usually a personal choice. Here in Indiana for example you have Hoosier Healthwise for kids, and the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) for adults. Both are very low cost subsidized plans. Participants in HIP pay between 2% and 5% of their gross family income. Most states have similar programs.
Here’s how CNN spins Obama’s lies. Yes, he’s a liar.
“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.
Mr. Obama added, “If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.”
Translation: he wants to give amnesty to the 12 million illegal aliens so they can not only get government provided healthcare, but also, so they can vote for him in 2012.

“I like the president’s emphasis on the character of our country. I went to medical school because I wanted to take care of people when they get sick. We have millions of people going bankrupt, and the death rate from breast cancer is greater if people don’t have health insurance. We need to somehow make sure all people have health care. The president laid out his plan. In many ways it was rational. He said he was willing to talk to legislators on both sides of the aisle. That’s very good. I hope they take that to heart and don’t keep saying no to any plan that may come along.”
