"As soon as we get the bill back from CBO and people have a chance to look at it ... I believe we clearly will have the support of my caucus to move to this bill and start legislating."

Shove the PUBLIC OPTION UP YOURS HARRY!   October 26th, 2009 - 5:11 pm

Not down the throat of the majority of Americans who don’t want it!

Nappyboy   October 26th, 2009 - 5:16 pm

What are we going to do in 10 years when A. we cannot afford these programs as a country and B. it simply does not work? Who is going to be accountable for these actions then? Sure won’t be Obama, Reid, or Pelosi…..

Public option will not bring reform to our country, at least not the reform we are looking for. Tort reform and having the ability for private insurance companies to sell insurance over state lines will do more then the trillion dollar clunker of a bill our current representatives are purposing.

Reid has bigger problems. He accidentally acknowledged Isreal’s illegal nuclear program which makes OUR AID (welfare) to that country ILLEGAL by our own law – the Symington Amendment!

Hairy Reid's Disappointed MOM   October 26th, 2009 - 5:27 pm

Is this the same Hairy Reid that will lose his Senate seat next year. This Marxist azzwipe needs to be pinned to the ground and held there so he can do nothing until he’s out in 2012

Hairy Reid's Disappointed MOM   October 26th, 2009 - 5:29 pm

I’m so sorry… I’m getting on in age. I meant that Hairy will be gone in 2010. He’ll probably take his own life in 2012 in disbelief that Americans rejected him and his Marxist Obama clan.

Rexter   October 26th, 2009 - 5:40 pm

Hairy Reid’s Disappointed MOM – they already have that covered – both parties are controlled by the same cabal of “internationalists.”

Dooley   October 26th, 2009 - 5:55 pm

The real “public option” happens in 2010 when We The People vote Reid, Pelosi, and a bunch
of other Dems out of office. And when Obama is officially declared a one-term lame duck president.

“I hate freedom, progress, and innovation” —- Harry Reid. (at least thats what I heard)

Anyone remember when being a liberal meant only sharing your own money? me neither.

Rexter's a closet Nazi!   October 26th, 2009 - 5:59 pm

Seig Heil Rexter!

This lying,Arrogant wimp…who loved intimidating Bullies when he was a kid…knows the American people don’t want a public health plan…He knows he is about to be kicked out of office…Yet he stands there like Nero…still pushing it down the throats of Americans?

This man will go down is history as the most inept…hateful…lying….traitor to his country that the Congress had ever seen.

He should be in prison for attacking the Surge before it happened…For claiming the War is Lost while our troops were fighting and dying in the field…for not supporting our troops..taking away all they need to win in Iraq and now Afghanistan….the military budget has now been put off until late Dec…by him and another traitor..Pelosi.

The arrogance of the Godless is never ending folks. We Must resist…We must fight back…We must STOP these Godless liars…these traitors…Vote ALL Democrats out in 2010 and their lying ..Marxist Messiah Obama out in 2012…if you want to save our great Nation.

Get this straight America- You are GOING to have a “Health Care Reform Bill”, whether you like it or not!

We don’t care how much damage it does.
We don’t care that a large majority is against it.
We don’t care if it destroys the best health care system in the world.
We don’t care if it cost trillions and trillions.

GET USED TO IT! We (Nancy, Barack and I) rule America now, not you.
So SHUT the hell UP, and go watch your reality shows and Friends reruns.
Leave government of the people to us, you swastika carrying evil-doers.

Best Regards,
Hairy Reid

So private companys are going to have to compete with their regulator, the government?

FastFacts   October 26th, 2009 - 6:24 pm

You have to love this guy. Always saying he couldn’t pass the public option and then all of a sudden saying that he would have it in his bill. You know the one that was looked over by the CBO before it was a bill. Then it was passed through committee as one bill and then when Reid gets it, he changed it once more to blend it into another bill and that doesn’t have to pass through committee. Interesting isn’t it. Then he went to say that the Republicans won’t help or be part of this process. Oh yeah he locked the door in a closed door meeting with his democrat friends to write this new health care bill. That’s bipartisanship for you.

Say what you will Reid have step up ,So far its been Nancy Pelosi bringing the gloves to the fight.

As the American public gets more educated on the REFORM they will see how the INSURANCE COMPANIES are the ones who have beeen RAPING them. And it shows more citizens are now supporting it.

CONTAGIOUS! THAT’S IT! DITHERING IS NOW CONTAGIOUS, AND OF EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN D.C.!

Uh – uh, Harry… you mentioned that it’s not a silver bullet but you forgot to talk about “THE TRIGGER OPTION”… Harry?… uh – Harry… ?

Harry? Are you listening? Where’d you go? Ohhhhh – THERE YOU ARE!

Now pay attention, Harry… please. You see, Harry – WE KNOW – that your plan is as VOID OF LIFE as the basket in the Biggest Balloon Hoax ever.

Harry – WE KNOW – that it is your intent to sign AMERICA OVER to a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Did you hear me? You can’t fool us. WE KNOW.

Are you listening, Harry? WE KNOW, based on your record, that you have the same aptitude as your leader, usurper Barry Soetoro aka/alien Barack Hussein Obama, for uttering “consistent inconsistencies” on a regular basis.

Therefore, Harry, TROUBLE… TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL “T” as in “THE TRIGGER OPTION” is brewing.

WE KNOW – you’re eventually gonna take away the right of the states, and the people, to make their own decision, and you’re gonna eventually use this Healthcare/Insurance Reform Bill as the GATEWAY to handing over the personal information, and medical data, of every citizen and illegal – “lock, stock, and barrel” – to a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT – isn’t that right, Harry?

Harry, don’t you know by now? WE KNOW that you are not to be trusted… not you… not Pelosi… not the czars… not Militant Michelle and her cadre of Personal Staff Assistants (none of which are able to purchase organic vegetables at the local D.C. Farmers’ Market just three (3) blks from the White House)… not Valerie Jarrett – closest personal counselor to usurper Barry Soetoro aka/alien Barack Hussein Obama… not Anita Dunn – whose husband Robert Bauer is COMING SOON TO THE WHITE HOUSE NEAR YOU! to continue being usurper Barry Soetoro aka/alien Barack Hussein Obama’s personal attorney… Emanuel can’t be trusted… Axelrod can’t… and certainly not the “dithering”, campaigning, community-organizing, usurper Barry Soetoro aka/alien Barack Hussein Obama himself.

Harry… May your BILL – in any/and all of its forms – GO DOWN IN DEFEAT for all your “consistent inconsistencies” – and may Healthcare Reform for the citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, be written and implemented, by a CONGRESS composed of naught but those who LOVE AMERICA, and live with integrity – and a higher set of principles – in their brain, body, and soul, each day.

Harry, “THE TRIGGER OPTION” leaves but one thing ringing in our ears: “BANG!”

These Democrats are insane. They and anyone who vote for this damaging agenda will be unemployed in a year.

MAKE THE OPT OUT FOR INDIVIDUALS, NOT STATES!   October 26th, 2009 - 6:51 pm

Hey IDIOTS IN WASHINGTON:

You had better LISTEN UP and make that OPT OUT OPTION pertain to INDIVIDUAL U.S. CITIZENS, and not just “leave the OPT OUT OPTION up to the states” crap!

You know damned well Americans DO NOT WANT THIS GOVT-RUN HEALTH CARE CRAP. BUT YOU INTEND TO FORCE IT ON US ANYWAY.
THEN GIVE EACH INDIVIDUAL THE *OPTION* TO OPT OUT FROM YOUR SCHEME…

“OR ELSE”… (The “OR ELSE” could have grave consequences to YOUR POLITICAL FUTURE… WE AMERICANS ARE FED UP AND WE WILL SEE TO IT THAT ALL THOSE WHO FORCE THIS UNWANTED CRAP ONTO US VOTERS WILL BE KICKED OUT OF OFFICE, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.)

dontflagmebro   October 26th, 2009 - 6:53 pm

CS DNC already knows it destroyed itself by installing a criminal constitution breaking government so they are going for broke.

CONTACT YOUR STATE & OPT OUT NOW!   October 26th, 2009 - 6:53 pm

OK, FOLKS:
GET ON THE HORN AND EMAIL SYSTEMS & FAX MACHINES AND TELL YOUR STATES YOU WANT TO *OPT OUT* OF THE GOVT-RUN HEALTH PLAN!!!

DO IT NOW!

CommonSense   October 26th, 2009 - 7:26 pm

DFMB – so depressingly true. The funny thing is Democrat voters are not speaking up. If they EVER want to see their party have any credibility in the next 75 years they better tell their representatives to get a clue!
By the time these Socilaists are done in 2012 the Democrat Party will be lucky to win in a Local Dog Catcher Election.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   October 26th, 2009 - 7:40 pm

America…Harry “the reed” Reid is just as deaf, dumb and blind as his other Democratzi henchmen!

He is also a “dinosaur” that needs to go…yesterday!

Nevada you don’t need this slug and you don’t need his son…you are better than this! Look what the Democratzi and Bilderberg Bush-Obama has done to your economy!

Get it done for “real” Americans…get it done for freedom/liberty and the sovereignty of our great Republic…get it done to show that you Nevadans have the same heart and soul of our founding fathers…who will never quit or give up on our Republic and hand it over to the socialist leftist loons who have captured it for a moment!

They may have this moment, America, but “real” America has the momentum to get the job done to throw them out big time…starting with Harry “the reed” Reid!

=====================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

My liver might be a little too pert and healthy in the context of fascist medicine. The federal government will eventually begin cultivating organs, just as the Chinese. Criminals in China are used for spare parts. And to those who say, “well so what, they ARE criminals afterall”, just remember what Stalin’s spymaster, Lavrenti Beria, used to say: “show me the man, and I will find the crime.” We’re in the age of opposites and reversals, where healthy organs are something to be feared; where making money means dealing with pay czars and punative taxation; winners are humiliated and harassed; and losers, who understand nothing about economics, run the most complex economy in the world. If you want to hold on to your liver and other organs, you’d better start drinking now. Smoke lots of cigarettes. And eat foods high in saturated fat, salt, and sugar. My next installment of surviving fascist medicine will include tips on drilling your own teeth at home and lying on government forms

My French is pretty rusty but this is the jist of what Petite Tresors wrote above:

“The future of America balances in their leader Obama. They do not have a backbone and allow Obama to go run them around. The Americans call us cowards ha! You are idiotic and without conscience to allow Obama to turn your country into nothing but a black hole.”

Hmmmm…..bad-mouthed by the French! Makes you proud doesn’t it?

Anti Liberal   October 26th, 2009 - 9:37 pm

CONgress has no constitutional authority to impose health care of any kind!!!

Nope the enumerated powers doesn’t say anything about it.

Nope… the general welfare clause only applies to the needs of the government to implement the enumerated powers.

Nope… the interstate commerce clause doesn’t give authority to force an unwanted health care program down our throats, and then fine us if we don’t go along.

The is a matter for the states, if they choose, or to the we the people!

CONgress get a clue!

Reid’s health care bill to have public option.

JUST SAY NO!   October 27th, 2009 - 1:15 am

Some idiots (like Podesta) are actually suggesting that marijuana be legalized and TAXED to pay for the public health care crap!!!!

People who smoke pot end up with cancer or emphysema or dead brain cells or have accidents while loaded, all of which will REQUIRE medical care, so where is any BENEFIT or PROFIT from CHARGING taxes on pot-smokers?!
Instead, we will have an even LARGER POOL of SICKIES to be CARED FOR by the coming GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CRAP.

FOLKS, JUST SAY NO, AND SAY IT LOUD & SAY IT OFTEN!

Poor old Harry, has he been checked for blood flow problems? He is unable to represent himself let alone any American with at least one active living brain cell. Poor man.

Desiree   October 27th, 2009 - 9:48 am

Peter C, I am totally with you.

When will it be time for us to go back to DC, while the cowards are there, and take back our country? Our forefathers fought and died for freedom. They were
farmers, shopkeepers, tavern owners, militia and they beat a king’s army. Our country has fought against this kind of oppression. It’s time to put an end to this
now. These public servant pigs are not listening to our voices. They believe all they have to do is pander to the voters the next election. We need to stop
this now. The downstream media are their willing accomplices. They are supposed to be the watchdog, they are more lapdog. We need to hold the downstream
media accountable also. It’s time for a National Day of Media Protest. Hit the enablers and make them accountable. Our freedom and liberty and that of future
generations depend on it. God save the U.S.A.
