Her name is Kathleen Sebelius. She is the ex governor from Kansas. She is a real piece of work. She vetoed CCW that passed and was overturned by a vote in the state senate. She was rescued by the administration as the writing was on the wall she was out of there. She also blocked billion dollar coal projects for energy production.




 

I couldn't believe the part where he was trying to use the Pledge of Allegiance to defend socialism.

Murphy hears it from both sides of issue

By: ANDY VINEBERG
Bucks County Courier Times

At two public events on Saturday, the hot topic was health care reform.

The plan was for Congressman Patrick Murphy to discuss health care reform and other hot-button topics with his constituents on a one-on-one basis.

The plan didn't last long.

Minutes into the first of two scheduled "Congressman on Your Corner" sessions Saturday afternoon at the jam-packed Concerto Fusion restaurant in Morrisville, shouts from an impatient, frustrated crowd forced Murphy and his staff to reconsider the format of the event.

"You're concerned about the format. We've changed the format," Larry Glick, Murphy's director of outreach, told the crowd. "The congressman will talk to you as a group."

Murphy's about-face (in his opening remarks, he specifically told a woman "this was not a town hall meeting") resulted in a 90-plus-minute, frequently contentious Q&A session with voters clearly emotional about health care. But the congressman kept his cool, listening to people's concerns and defending his plans while occasionally asking hecklers "to be respectful."

The revised format was repeated later in the day in front of the produce department at the Acme in Levittown. Emotions ran high at the second gathering as well, although the crowd seemed more evenly divided politically at the supermarket than the restaurant.

The meetings were the 78th and 79th "Congressman on Your Corner" events of Murphy's two-and-a-half years in office.

"The great thing about Bucks County is that people really can be very passionate," Murphy said as he left Acme. "So that's why I don't flinch and give them their chance to talk while most of my colleagues are putting their heads in the sand."

Of the change in format, Murphy said, "We called an audible. Driving over (to Morrisville), I was told there were 25 people there. When we showed up, there were about 150."

Any doubts about the political leanings of the crowd in Morrisville were put to rest when Murphy, explaining that he works with, not for, President Obama, added, "I happen to think he's doing a pretty great job." The restaurant erupted in a chorus of boos and catcalls. It was the Murphy line that got the most vocal reaction at either location.

The congressman spent much of the two sessions explaining why the current health care system was "unsustainable," a word he used repeatedly. He stressed that he supports a public option - in which people can choose between government-run health care and existing private insurance companies - rather than the "single payer" plan that more liberal Democrats endorse.

Asked in Levittown if he and his family would take the public plan, Murphy said, simply, "yes."

He defended, to a point, the national health care bill that was passed, 31-28, by the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Friday, setting the stage for a floor vote in the fall.

"I had a lot of concerns with it," he told the crowd in Levittown. "I wasn't happy with how it was originally written. I'm going to do the best I can to make it a better bill."

He tried to soothe the fears of elderly voters who questioned if they'd still be alive under the bill, vowed to aid small business owners who are struggling to provide health care for their employees, talked of better health benefits for children and insisted that the plan would not result in higher taxes for those making under $1 million a year.

Murphy described the government's role in the health care issue as that of a "referee" - a role he occasionally played himself Saturday when members of the crowd tried to shout each other down.

"A national healthcare bill would rob us of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," Gary Gibson of Newtown claimed at the Acme.

"You've had your say. Now shut your mouth," a supporter of the bill interrupted.

"Let him speak," Murphy said, proving he was open to hearing opinions on both sides.

Regardless of political opinion, people at both locations seemed pleased with the revised format - even if they didn't always get the answers they were looking for.

"Deciding to open up the question to the full crowd was a good idea," Jim Mossholder of Lower Makefield said after the Morrisville session, "but I think many people are still confused as to what the bill is trying to accomplish. The question is, what type of health care will be available to citizens, and at what price?"

Bill Appleton of Levittown said he supports the single-payer system but he doesn't think the United States is ready for it. He thought Murphy did a good job handling the crowd on both sides.

"If I was in his shoes, I don't think I could have done it," Appleton said at the Acme. "He was very respectful and did a good job trying to keep tempers down."

Murphy's bottom-line message at both locations is that health care reform can't be the government's responsibility alone.

"We're trying to get everyone involved to come to the table: patients, doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies," he said. "This is an American challenge. It's a defining moment in our country's history, and it's time to get it right."

We should be thankful for whatever rations Chairman MaObama issues us from The Ministry Of Plenty.

He lies.

Don't worry, the books will be cooked, the media will assist in placating the masses, gas prices will fall, unemployment numbers will plummet, and all will be right in the universe, just in time for all these turds to be reelected.

With the help of ACORN, the SEIU, the media, dead people, illegals and the ignorant masses. These smug fucks feel like they are untouchable, sadly, for good reason.

I was going to mention something on how to use the town's commons oak tree or a sour apple tree,  but thought better of it. All that CoC compliance thing.

Probably not they're too stupid or unaware.

That is Sebelius, bho's sec of health and human services.

edit:typo

Or they know something we don't.......... can you say rigged elections?

All I can say then is thank God and the founding fathers for the 2A.

Ha ha ha... Specter jumped onto the losing ship... good riddance...

After all,

"People with insurance who oppose ObamaCare may not know what's good for them."

I would remind him that Congress could get off their ass and pass legislation defining CO2 as something that comes out of a seltzer bottle and nothing to get their panties in a wad over.

So, where can you get tar? I was thinking about this the other night, I just can't think of a place to find it.

Would driveway sealant work?

That was Kathleen Sebelius.

would work great, now where can we find a large source of feathers today?

I vote for execution by hanging.

Surely you are talking in hypothetical terms of course.

Exactly. All that congress will have to do is keep things quiet for a while and it will all be forgotten about by the time elections roll around.

How many congress critters voted for the bailouts and got re-elected?

That whole series of videos was great.

I'm sure the politicians are reading the best polls, and figuring out what their district wants. I think it is more that they are caught between the party bosses and the public.

If they were not in fact worried about the public opinion in their district, Obamacare and Cap and Trade would be done deals, and next up would be immigration.

Tag for later

Molotovs would work a lot better.

Just so happens he is one of my Congressmen. He's one of the worst there.  Ivote against every time I get a chance, and my fellow Missourians put him in right back in office.  I pester him with faxes, calls, and letters.  None of it ever helps.

The Pledge was written by a socialist.

America, the time is now to let the hate flow..

Feathers are easy, any Craft store will have them.

Big Value Feathers $2.49 @ Joann Fabric

And that is my problem because of?

I could care less what they do. If they go into another neighborhood and act that way, they'll end up dead.

What these "town meetings" really show is how incompetent and corrupt a huge numbers of our politicians are. I'd have to say a lot of the old fart politicians are complete senile idiots who should be in a nursing home instead of in Congress. Spectre is one of those.

WE know what kind of SHIT they are shovelling and THEY know it also which is why they are making sure THEY can keep their own insurance instead of getting screwed like everyone else.

There should be NO "retirement" NO health insurance, NOTHING paid for by the "Government" once they are out of office. PERIOD.

Screw that! I say we get them from the chicken house floor.

I sincerely hope to see Specter wearing the same expression Daschle was wearing on the night he got his ass handed to him.

Wow...

Why? Cable still works.
 

No shit.  Some people have no fucking clue what they rush to defend.  The pledge is about allegiance to the government for the good of the masses with a quick nod to God (which wasn't even originally there).  Not one fucking mention of the Constitution, which socialists have absolutely no fucking use for.

In Boston large mobs appeared more than once at the homes of colonial authorities and tore them down by hand.

I would have loved to be there. I would have asked how my grandfather died of a heart attack, while in a VA hospital because of another heart attack.

So the Pledge of Allegiance is now a Socialist plot, eh?

Notice that security dude glancing at the videographr, planning his egress?

Perhaps we should start mailing unemployment forms to these douchebags, like Specter...who just don't get it!

The funny thing is, the msm is calling all of these town hall meeting protests as being done by paid protestors by the insurance or some other corporate lobby.

What they don't realize, was that before, most of us didn't have time to take off of work to do these things.  They DON'T realize that we, the producers, are fed up, and will be in their face at every opportunity, because it has now become clear, that, as of now, it's more in our economic interest to let these fuckers know that if they continue down this path, than to not take that day off from worlk, and  it will mean the end of America.

Too many intelligent folks I know have the same opinion as me.  I will quit being a producer of wealth and taxes when the .gov gets more of my money from my labor than I do.

I will become a parasite.  And trust me, I have 2 of 4 sisters, plus the offspring of those 2, who are professional parasites.  I can learn how to survive on much less, very quickly.

I wonder how long those Vietnam Vets that got suckered into AARP by the promise of discounts on everything, will sit by and let this continue.

I predict that enough of these folks, who served their country in very trying times, will start to realize that the same folks who spit on them when they returned home, are the same ones trying like hell to kill America.
I predict they will take up arms, alone or in small groups, and take out their revenge.  They have nothing to lose, as they will be part of the first group to be rationed.  The elderly. When someone gets fuckedover enough, they will react.  When that someone has combat experience, has already paid the entry fee (first one costs ya, the rest are free), they will have no problem killing the new enemies of America.

Wife of Alan Greenspan.

Fuck the lot of em'.

Nah I dont think there will be any riots, the only kind of people that know how to riot are the voters who voted Obama and belong to the Black panthers or those other domestic terrorist groups like PETA and so on.

I bet spectar doesnt get re elected this time, hoping the Dems that were on his side are now on the wall saying he is not for me and not doing the job I or we are paying him to do. He is for himself.  

Plebs

Haha that cunt sibelius got a smackdown .
