Hours before President Obama was set to deliver a make-or-break speech on health care reform, a top Senate negotiator conceded the government-run insurance program so dear to the president’s supporters cannot pass the Senate.
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who was trying to hammer out the details of a bipartisan compromise Wednesday with five other senators, announced that he would be moving ahead with or without Republican support.
But he made clear that the so-called “public option” would not be part of any deal with his name on it.
Baucus just paid back Obama for trying to ram things thru over top of him.
OUCH!

“…just like the republicans have been saying”
In fact, it was ACORN who “said so” and, in almost all cases where employees have been suspected of faking registrations, it has been because ACORN reported it to authorities:
But ACORN officials said they had alerted authorities about the alleged illegal activity among some canvassers in Miami-Dade after finding “numerous discrepancies” on voter cards collected from the Homestead area.
Essentially, these individuals defrauded ACORN by taking pay after making up voter registrations.
Olbermann has covered this before and may well do so again.

Do we really need to explain hypocracy here???
If it were Republicans like Barry Goldwater, who believed it was nobody’s business what people did in their private lives, then it wouldn’t be an issue.
But when a political figure trumpets his stand on behalf of sexual “morality”, “decency”, and “family values”, then we expect him/her to at least live up to his/her own standards.
There have been so many Republicans caught speaking “family values” out of one side of their mouth, and then were caught in violation of those self-proclaimed values (by their own definition), that’s its really hard to keep track of them without a list: Foley, Craig, Sanford, etc., etc., etc.
But I still think the King of Hypocracy title still rests with Newt Gingrich, who loudly and continually insisted on the investigation, prosecution, and impeachment of Bill Clinton, all while he was committing adultery with his own staffer (who ultimately became wife # 3). Of course, Gingrich is still hoping to become President. During his last media tour he claimed that it took “courage” for him to insist on Clinton’s impeachment on moral grounds while he was also guilty of adultery. (Apprantly he thinks we are all idiots, to try uttering that line with a straight face).

As for Acorn, we’ve been over this before, but some here aren’t interested in the facts, they want to ignore the facts and lie about them instead. State law required ACORN to turn over the signature cards (which if you think about it, is a good policy). ACORN did so but identified the suspect registrations and turned over the information on the gatherers to the authorities, who are prosecuting them. They had quality control in place which identified the problem, and fully cooperated with the authorities.
By comparison:
The recent initiative campaign to repeal the everything-but-marriage law had about a 12% signature rejection rate. If we were to follow the Wingnut’s logic, shouldn’t we all be outraged at his incredibly high rate of fraudulent signatures? Shouldn’t the initiative campaign and it’s leadership be held responsible?

5. The insurance industry takes over a 20% cut in overhead and profits. Medicare takes a 3% cut.

Medical malpractice laws and the resultant defensive medicine also contribute to overutilization. There is controversy about whether malpractice litigation and concomitant real cost of premiums are increasing or decreasing. There is no doubt, however, about the increase in physicians’ concern about malpractice suits and their inclination to do more.

The 47 million number the Democrat defecate out is also false and has been discredited outright.
…these people and media outlets incorrectly claimed the number of uninsured to be 40 to 50 million Americans. The actual total is open to debate. But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that tally, including: those who aren’t American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but haven’t signed up.
Government statistics also show 45 percent of those without insurance will have insurance again within four months after job transitions. Accounting for all those factors, one prominent study places the total for the long-term uninsured as low as 8.2 million – a very different reality than the media and national health care advocates claim.
@62 GREAT! Only 8.2 million uninsured! Thanks for helping the Democrats! That just means the program will cost even LESS! Thanks for helping! I’ll go tell Obama his program will cost even LESS! That’ll show him…er….or something. LOL
Dude…arguing whether the “real” number is 10 million or 30 million or whatever is NOT the point and doesn’t matter. Which turns out to be “right” doesn’t make a bit of difference. It’s controlling health care costs, and making sure everyone can get basic health care. The number you’re “upset” about doesn’t matter.
I’m SURE the Democrats slightly exaggerate it to make a point. Golly, just like the Republicans “exaggerate” or just make up shit for their points (death tax, death panels, death books…what’s with all the death stuff?). Politicians always exaggerate. Whether it was Dick and Bush on how fast and cheap the Iraq war would be (6 months, $100 million) or the number of uninsured. Just take it with a grain of salt and move on.

Shouldn’t I be able to obtain home owners or renters insurance after I’ve been robbed and receive an in kind payout retrocatively?
Shouldn’t I be able to obtain car insurance (channeling Mike Webb) after I’ve had an accident and then have that insurance company give me a payout retroactively?
Can one of our Obambots explain why these aren’t as much a “right” as healthcare? All of these might be a “life changing” event afterall…when will the president be bringing his brand of “social justice” like those listed above?

Massachusetts has the most expensive family health insurance premiums in the country, according to a new analysis that highlights the state’s challenge in trying to rein in medical costs after passage of a landmark 2006 law that mandated coverage for nearly everyone.
The report by the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit health care foundation, showed that the average family premium for plans offered by employers in Massachusetts was $13,788 in 2008, 40 percent higher than in 2003. Over the same period, premiums nationwide rose an average of 33 percent.

Mr. Foley resigned from the United States Congress for innapropriate contact with minor pages, at the same time he was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.
Mr. Foley’s text messages and emails to minor children working in the US Capital included:
– “Did you spank it this weekend yourself?” and “Where did you unload it.”
– “I am hard as a rock…so tell me when yours reaches rock”
– “Get a ruler and measure it for me.”
It’s sickening to retype. Why would you give a public voice to this man?
Do the residents of North Palm Beach truly want to know what is “inside the mind of Mark Foley?” Haven’t all Americans suffered enough from his manipulation of children and misuse of power?
Mr. Foley was a career hipocrit and liar. In 2002, he told National Public Radio:
– “I think what we’ve done here is allowed people to get away, if you will, whether it’s virtual reality or live children, exploiting them for sexual gratification.”
– “What I consider pornographic is when you’re allowed to interact with a person who has a less than desirable intent [on the Internet.]”
– “I look at this more from a child-endangerment aspect. It’s not necessarily that we have committed the crime already and can find reasonable cause to prosecute. My concern is it’s luring people into the likelihood that they become victims themselves. I think that’s a misuse of youth and I think it’s a way to soil their future…”
What will the station do when the topic of peadophilia arises? Allow Mr. Foley to lie and manipulate the public once more…or simply ask him not to show up for work that day?
How will the station respond if a minor child calls into the show with a comment or quesiton? Some parents were up in arms over the President giving a speech on education. Will these same parents want their children listening to this predator?
I’m very dissapointed. “Inside the Mind of Mark Foley” was a bad idea and should never air.
Shame on whomever gave this man a public voice in North Palm Beach.

Recorded sex comments cost Calif. lawmaker his job
By JULIET WILLIAMS (AP) – 1 hour ago
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Mike Duvall’s second term as a member of the California Assembly was progressing pretty much like his first — in relative obscurity, with few notable legislative accomplishments.
The Orange County Republican is now a YouTube hit after KCAL-TV aired his racy comments about sexual conquests that were caught by an open microphone in a Capitol hearing room. Several media outlets said the comments referred to Duvall’s affairs with a female lobbyist and another woman. He resigned Wednesday.

Do we really need to explain hypocracy here???
If it were Republicans like Barry Goldwater, who believed it was nobody’s business what people did in their private lives, then it wouldn’t be an issue.
But when a political figure trumpets his stand on behalf of sexual “morality”, “decency”, and “family values”, then we expect him/her to at least live up to his/her own standards.
There have been so many Republicans caught speaking “family values” out of one side of their mouth, and then were caught in violation of those self-proclaimed values (by their own definition), that’s its really hard to keep track of them without a list: Foley, Craig, Sanford, etc., etc., etc.
But I still think the King of Hypocracy title still rests with Newt Gingrich, who loudly and continually insisted on the investigation, prosecution, and impeachment of Bill Clinton, all while he was committing adultery with his own staffer (who ultimately became wife # 3). Of course, Gingrich is still hoping to become President. During his last media tour he claimed that it took “courage” for him to insist on Clinton’s impeachment on moral grounds while he was also guilty of adultery.

By the rest of your comment I take it you no longer dispute that it was ACORN that reported the criminal activity to the authorities?

If they can’t run a cash for clunkers program, how can any reasonable person believe they could do better with free government healthcare.

Buffoon…
rhp6033 spews:
As for Acorn, we’ve been over this before, but some here aren’t interested in the facts, they want to ignore the facts and lie about them instead. State law required ACORN to turn over the signature cards (which if you think about it, is a good policy). ACORN did so but identified the suspect registrations and turned over the information on the gatherers to the authorities, who are prosecuting them. They had quality control in place which identified the problem, and fully cooperated with the authorities.
By comparison:
The recent initiative campaign to repeal the everything-but-marriage law had about a 12% signature rejection rate. If we were to follow the Wingnut’s logic, shouldn’t we all be outraged at his incredibly high rate of fraudulent signatures? Shouldn’t the initiative campaign and it’s leadership be held responsible?

Do you have anything of substance to say?
I doubt it.
Here are some important facts to remember before the health care speech:
1. We spend almost twice what the nearest other countries spend on health care.
2. Our health care is on par with Slovenia.
3. Over 47 million Americans are uninsured as of 2006 (probably many more now).
4. The majority of bankruptcies in this country are due to health problems. The majority of bankruptcies due to health problems are for people who HAVE health insurance.
5. The insurance industry takes over a 20% cut in overhead and profits. Medicare takes a 3% cut.
6. Any health care plan without a strong and viable public option will not cut costs becuase there will be no way to pressure big Pharma and no incentive to cut overhead in the Medical profession.

Puddy already commented on his morals cnr and X’ad@28 fools. You can contact the moron@24 and Steve because Steve already commented that he saw Puddy’s Mark Foley morality comments. Who know what the moron@24 does collecting and cataloging all the PuddyMissives for his “chronological collection”.
Hey Steve why don’t you replay that comment since per cnr

You know @37 Puddy already posted this. Maybe cnr@27 needs to see this again since you collect them but you won’t replay them. That’s okay Puddy will replay them.
Butt when needed, Democrats will throw gays under the bus.
“Ironically, Democrats seem, well, rather reluctant to answer those questions themselves. And in the process of smearing Foley they also dredged up the ugly “all gay men are pedophiles and sexual predators” stereotype that gay rights groups have been fighting to eradicate for decades. Nice going, guys.”

@62 GREAT! Only 8.2 million uninsured! Thanks for helping the Democrats! That just means the program will cost even LESS! Thanks for helping! I’ll go tell Obama his program will cost even LESS! That’ll show him…er….or something. LOL
Dude…arguing whether the “real” number is 10 million or 30 million or whatever is NOT the point and doesn’t matter. Which turns out to be “right” doesn’t make a bit of difference. It’s controlling health care costs, and making sure everyone can get basic health care. The number you’re “upset” about doesn’t matter.
I’m SURE the Democrats slightly exaggerate it to make a point. Golly, just like the Republicans “exaggerate” or just make up shit for their points (death tax, death panels, death books…what’s with all the death stuff?). Politicians always exaggerate. Whether it was Dick and Bush on how fast and cheap the Iraq war would be (6 months, $100 million) or the number of uninsured. Just take it with a grain of salt and move on.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:

Empty Suit Obama spews:
Then why do democrats insist on lying about the number?
…and Obama and the democrats are ignoring ways to do this by refusing to address tort reform and the ability to shop out of state for your health care insurance. Bottom line is Obama doesn’t want competition, he wants universal healthcare and doesn’t care how many lies he has to tell to get his foot in the door with a “government option”, which by default becomes the “only option” down the road. Some of the willfully ignorant are falling for his bluster and lies, but he still can’t sell a shit sandwich to the majority and tell them its a gourmet delicacy.

Unlike wingnuts and maybe some on my side of the ailse, I don’t have a problem with illegals getting health care. If cheap labor right wing greedheads didn’t hire them, they would even be in this country. So if they get injured on the job – maybe the greedhead should pay through the nose – maybe not a practicable idea but it would be fitting justice.
All I know is if I come down with a bug or break a bone in France, Sweden, Japan – I can get care at minimal cost. That’s just what a humane country does.

Puddy suggests if any company hires illegal aliens (screw that liberal undocumented worker moniker) then the company pays their health care costs out-of-pocket. The American taxpaper should not bear the burden.
YLB spews:
75 – Sigh… The illegal often does a dirty, dangerous job, pays many taxes that are passed on to the end consumer just like the rest of us. Even pays above board taxes if he gets a paycheck..
But no… The Stupes solution is always the stupid solution – punish the worker who’s only trying to better his lot in life – never punish the right wing cheap labor greedhead who profits from illegal labor.
YLB spews:
81 – Wow! Stupes wants to sanction the right wing greedhead!

As always, the liberal solution to “reform” is to overhaul the system by an incompetent Government. See GSE Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
…and where do the takeovers end?
Shouldn’t I be able to pay for healthcare insurance when I need it (pre-existing condition) , but not before I need it and receive quality treatment at the expense of that insurance company?
Shouldn’t I be able to obtain fire insurance AFTER my house has burned down and receive a payout retroactively?
Shouldn’t I be able to obtain home owners or renters insurance after I’ve been robbed and receive an in kind payout retrocatively?
Shouldn’t I be able to obtain car insurance (channeling Mike Webb) after I’ve had an accident and then have that insurance company give me a payout retroactively?
Can one of our Obambots explain why these aren’t as much a “right” as healthcare? All of these might be a “life changing” event afterall…when will the president be bringing his brand of “social justice” like those listed above?

Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:

From Rasmussen a name you don’t trust…
“Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans support strict sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants, as do 58% of Democrats and 72% of those not affiliated with either major party. “
YLB spews:
And the right wing employer has to obey the law as well.
The worker has to do whatever it takes to put food on the table and provide for his family. He wouldn’t come here if someone wasn’t willing to use his labor.
It’s always the worker’s fault with you right wing crap heads.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
ESO,
ylb StrangeEye, doesn’t comprehend the word illegal. He didn’t answer my simple question, maybe because it was toooooo simple for his simple mind.
YLB spews:

Must be the ones hiring the illegals..
Andnot only do I NOT trust Rassmussen..
I don’t trust Republicans.
As the “family values” fool in the tape showed it’s say one thing do another…
YLB spews:
Which part of “if they weren’t hired they wouldn’t be here” do you not understand? What part of the right wing employer breaking the law do you not understand?
But they are here, 11 million of them and we all benefit from their cheap labor – especially greedy right wingers.
Just like you wouldn’t be denied health care in the UK or Europe on a tourist visa, they shouldn’t be denied either after their labor keeps your food and other services cheaper.
You knee jerk right wingers are such selfish, loathsome bastards.
Steve spews:
I tried posting this earlier, Puddy, but the machine ate it. I remember apologizing to you over that Foley thing. Sorry I forgot. Damn, now that’s two apologies.
Oh, and you do know how much I love the way cnr mistreats you, don’t you? Serves you right for succumbing to the power of the dark side.
Marvin Stamn spews:
So democrats don’t buy any food picked by illegals? Democrats don’t buy homes built by illegals? Democrats don’t hire illegals as nannies/housekeepers? Democrats don’t eat in resturants where illegals work?
If they do, don’t those democrats also reap the benefits of cheap labor?
Nope. I just want them to pay for their own, just like millions of americans.
I have no problem with those that hire illegals get fined heavily.
I feel that you living in seattle don’t have an understanding about the drain illegals put on the american system. Here in the schools, ESL wastes the time of american kids that could be learning. The children of illegals aren’t attending schools in the rich white areas, they take the time and resources of those that can least afford to lose them.

Hmmm… At the Inglewood Forum recently a lot of people didn’t pay for their own. Why was that? Were they too greedy? Living with an infected tooth rather part with a dollar? I believed they pulled over 4000 teeth at that Remote Area Medical clinic.

To blame the problem of democrats reaping the benefits of cheap labor on the government not doing something about shows that you are waaaay too dependent on the government making your choices for you.

Yes, well being chronically employed isn’t exactly a quality to brag about, YLB. Care to take up the challenge @ 90? It wasn’t a rhetorical question afterall… I’m assuming someone with your legendary work ethic would mark an [x] next to “all of the above”.
Marvin Stamn spews:
I’m glad you think it was funny. I was beginning to think you didn’t have a sense of humor.
YLB spews:
Gee Marvin, didn’t you just say you supported employer sanctions?
It would appear you didn’t mean it.
Thought so.
Nice idea on what Dem voters should do but not a word about Republicans.
Typical.
YLB spews:
I tend to ignore the most egregiously idiotic right wing drivel..
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
ylb
They are illegal aliens fool. The kook-aid has polluted it’s mind.
YLB spews:
I doubt you can “get” it.
Using illegal labor to produce and harvest it.
Using illegal labor to mine for it. (That coal mining accident in Utah).
Using illegal labor every chance they get.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
@124 ylb StrangeEye,
Once again the strange eye is seeing something which isn’t true. The only ASS being handed here is the monomaniacal one!
You get smacked even by your own peeps.
Empty Suit Obama spews:
@ 134
What is amusing is your touting the work ethic of illegals , while not having one of your own. What irony…
I say keep one that is willing to do work you could do (but won’t as you’re a layabout) and deport your ass to Mexico. Think of it as an exchange program.
Marvin Stamn spews:
I understand that democrats are reliant on the work of republicans and cheap labor and they bitch and moan about it.
YLB spews:
I blame the problem of Dems and Republicans reaping the benefit of cheap undocumented labor on employers breaking the law.
We don’t have an illegal immigration problem in this country – we have an illegal employment problem.
The undocumented worker is breaking the law but in 99 percent of the cases is doing what he or she has to do to make a better life. Again they wouldn’t even try if there was no chance they could get work.
YLB spews:
138 – Yaaaaawwwwnn, see 134 again…
Empty Suit Obama spews:
@ 141 ~ yaaaawwwwn away YoungLazyBoy. You’re not smart enough for the challenge anyway.

Mr. Foley resigned from the United States Congress for innapropriate contact with minor pages, at the same time he was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.
Mr. Foley’s text messages and emails to minor children working in the US Capital included:
– “Did you spank it this weekend yourself?” and “Where did you unload it.”
– “I am hard as a rock…so tell me when yours reaches rock”
– “Get a ruler and measure it for me.”
It’s sickening to retype. Why would you give a public voice to this man?
Do the residents of North Palm Beach truly want to know what is “inside the mind of Mark Foley?” Haven’t all Americans suffered enough from his manipulation of children and misuse of power?
Mr. Foley was a career hipocrit and liar. In 2002, he told National Public Radio:
– “I think what we’ve done here is allowed people to get away, if you will, whether it’s virtual reality or live children, exploiting them for sexual gratification.”
– “What I consider pornographic is when you’re allowed to interact with a person who has a less than desirable intent [on the Internet.]”
– “I look at this more from a child-endangerment aspect. It’s not necessarily that we have committed the crime already and can find reasonable cause to prosecute. My concern is it’s luring people into the likelihood that they become victims themselves. I think that’s a misuse of youth and I think it’s a way to soil their future…”
What will the station do when the topic of peadophilia arises? Allow Mr. Foley to lie and manipulate the public once more…or simply ask him not to show up for work that day?
How will the station respond if a minor child calls into the show with a comment or quesiton? Some parents were up in arms over the President giving a speech on education. Will these same parents want their children listening to this predator?
I’m very dissapointed. “Inside the Mind of Mark Foley” was a bad idea and should never air.
Shame on whomever gave this man a public voice in North Palm Beach.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
@141, because you are intellectually incapable so you “ignore”.
Bwaaaaaaaaaawk Bwaaaaaaaaaawk Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaawk!
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Steve, Puddy didn’t succumb. Puddy grew up in the Philly liberal era where Democrats controlled everything, just like today!
YLB spews:
Hmmmm. The right wing solution is just elect idiots like the loser in the video at the top of this thread – the lucky loser can be middle-aged, paunchy and gets to screw much younger female lobbyists on the taxpayer dime all the while being holier than thou on “family values”.
Or vote for a right wing doctor! He knows about health care – and makes so much money as a surgeon, he gets to throw it away on a phony title marketed by British con artists.
More guys like that – just the ticket to fix the broken health care system.

Bye, bye, creep.

Tee-hee-hee. Mexico City is going “greener” than Seattle.
