Another Tea Party Planned for Saturday
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is planning a second anti-health care reform Tea Party at the Capitol -- this one scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday -- approximately the time when the House is due to vote on Democrats' public option bill, POLITICO's Jake Sherman reports.
King and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) organized a rally Thursday that drew thousands to the west front of the Capitol, drawing chants of “Kill the Bill.” There were a handful of arrests.
“We can kill this bill and stop the government takeover of health care,” King said in a news release. “We need the help of every American willing to stand up for freedom and liberty. I urge all Americans who oppose this bill to come to Washington tomorrow morning and join us to stop this bill.”

Jon Stewart busted Fox on combining 2 different parties to make this past week's rally look much bigger. Shame on lying Fox. Fox does not respect its viewers by lying.

All of you Obama fans and loony libs commenting how Boehner misquoted the constitution. How about the oath Obama took on inaugeration day. It amazes what the American people really see in this guy. Your hate for bush is so strong that you were willing to vote for anyone. Look what you got. Not hope and change. but hate and dispise. the oathe to Obama is nothing but words. He was put here by Soros and the hate America people to do just what he is doing. to create discontent and polarize this country. Most dems I have met are so focused on what they can take from the government without giving back. they lack discipline and accountability. Same with Obama and his agenda. who in the hell does he think paid for his education at Harvard. It was for damn sure not some lib. it was paid for the hardworking American patriot and the RICH man. Because the RICH man provided the jobs for the hard working tax payer. How wreckless and hypocritical of him.

I just wonder what these obama fans first words will be when they start getting their share of the cost of this take over bill , you as well as the nation have been hood-winked by his agenda , I'm sure it 'l be a wake up call .

DemocRATs don't pay their taxes, that is why their for the Reform!

Did you folks know that Steve King (an embarrassment to Iowa) and five of his tea bagging colleagues missed a vote to add amendments to 'strengthen' the so-called 'Patriot Act' to go to Bachmann's rally and the amendments failed? Another great American!

I loved the tea party on Capitol hill when John Boehner waved around his copy of the Constitution and then proceeded to quote the Dec. of Ind. Guess he never read the Constitution and apparently neither did the Repubs. standing behind him that joined in the incorrect quote and were so proud of him.
Henri
That was a great moment.

I heard that 3.5 billion people showed up to yesterday's rally. Prediction: In a couple of hours Faux News will see this post and report that "some people say that 3.5 billion people showed up to Saturday's rally."
Xaron
How many did show?
Bell2ring
I'm not much of a loser because I'm 72 years old and will not see all the damage this will do for a once great country. This is only to break this country as Russia was supposedly broke. Obama's wife will only be proud of this country when the Communists are running, out of the caos of her husband's presidency, when the taxes take all the jobs, as a person who looked at hiring a truck driver last summer, too expensive, paper wood, taxes to hire, long term problems, pay workman's comp until the person gets his/her next job, paper work on business, etc.
The government owns each of us as much as the old plantation owners. To hire one of the governments chatels I must pay workman's comp to my state, Social security, medicare, unemployment, salary to feed and clothe the chatel, maintain records, pay quarterlys, pay taxes on anything left over to my liege the government. Now I will have to pay national health care. Actually I can only pay this if the chatel earns all this and enough to keep my doors open. He will have to earn this or there won't be a job.

There are several misconceptions prevalent in the Republican Party. One is the supposed "Trickle Down" effect when you make large sums of money available to a very few Vs making lesser amounts available to a great many. I have seen it work. I do high end construction and am sixty years old. Whenever the super rich get a bonanza, it is spent on a summer Sunday cruiser like a BMW convertible, a vacation home or the money gets invested in risky ventures with a high return since if the money is lost, they did not have it to start with. A trickle down effect allright. It is indeed a trickle that goes back into the economy at large. If on the other hand, you make smaller amounts available to a great many, consumer goods are purchased in large quantities which reduces inventories which in turn leads to higher employment and a better economy. The other fallacy is this healthcare stance. As said, I am sixty. My family is insured, but I am not. I am self employed. My premiums would be in excess of $1,400.00 a Month and I can simply not afford such an amount. This healthcare plan would allow me to be insured, although it would still cost me, but less. A final comment is that I have a hard time taking people seriously who walk around on public streets with teabags dangling from their hats and holding often misspelled signs. There has got to be a more intelligent way to present an argument.
Bell2ring
Somebody will have to pay the $1,400 you feel you can't afford, how many doctoers will "retire", compare medicare while looking at the whole picture, a manual 400 miles away telling your doctor what procedures he will be paid in treating you, not what his best judgement tells him.

Bachmann denounced the government-run health insurance public option, calling it a "government takeover of health care" that would "squeeze out private health insurance".[74]
Not surprising .
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, she is currently the 21st largest recipient of the 435 members in the the United States House of Representatives for contributions from the insurance industry,[75] which consists of health, life, property and car insurance companies.[76] However, the health sector, which consists of professionals in all health-related fields, has not been nearly as supportive, where she ranks 230 of the 435 members in the House for the 2010 election campaign contributions.[77]
A. Capone
The problem is that not very many even realize they are simply supporting the Insurance companies by showing up. They are being bamboozled by big business. They were told this is about "taking back America" Sad.
Go ahead- let them have their way with you- have a good time. Hope it feels good!

Hmmmm. Barney Frank was sitting on his front porch when his partner, James Ready was arrested for growing (cultivating-nice word) and smoking marijuana in his home. Frank says he didn't know about it. I guess Frank doesn't have eyes in the back of his head.

how much do you want
what programs are you refering to?
Carolina Blues Billy-Bob
Gosh Billy - maybe you need to refresh your pilgrim memory - or drop the name. America is a country that allows freedoms – freedoms for people to work and live in an environment where they can make as much of their lives as they choose... which don't exist when governments take over all of the "programs".

Did tancreto get a beatdown or what ? Loved every minute of it.
brenda
i just can not believe that this is being rammed down our throats and it is not even good reform. why can't we make a bill that is bipartisian? dems say the republicans were obstinant to being part of the process. what i saw was republicans being physically shut out of the process. this is very sad, because the working people are screwed again, we do not want it, it doesn't matter we are going to get it regardless. we will pay directly from our diminishing pay checks for a bounty of losers and illegals for what? i'm sure the dems will set up some sort of household income requirements to get free healthcare. so anyone making a pay check will still have to pay. we should all just quit working and get on the obamabandwagon.

Bipartisan like ......
Bush lower taxes rates for the rich
Bush going to war
Bush and the patriot act
Elections have consequences reap it.
soonan TX
What in the world does Bush have to do with this monstrosity of a health care reform bill? Reform? Not really. Another govenment run health care system that will run out of money? Absolutely. The government can never effectively run health care. It can't even keep the ones it has from going broke. And doctors hate dealing with them. You can overhear a lot in a doctor's office and they will even tell you flat out how they feel.

Arrests were made on the freaks in Liebermans office screaming about Health care reform now. They were trying to shove the radical nonsense around because they want Joe Lieberman to agree to govt option.
So yes, arrests were made. The crazy left lib radicals. LOL
Soni70
Lol. every right winger loves the LIEberman.. (hey, repukies do you know Lieberman is a Jew with a gut Duetsche name? lol it means little man) Every 2 or 3 weeks changes his political party.. last week it was for republicans.. next week for democrats...Last week he got 400k from healthcare corp for his future office run.. if he would vote against public option.. (I know, I know. according to some on the right it is called the Pubic Option -- Pictures are available on youtube.. TEABAGGERS UNTIE)
