Yea Ted Nugent paid me with Chuck Norris Texas Republic Dollars to oppose socalized death care.

What gave them away, Dick? Was it the hastily printed signs using magic marker on white card board with a painter’s stirring stick as a holder? Was it that they each drove themselves and their families to the rally? Was it that they were law abiding?

When the protestors showed up at the AIG director’s homes several months back, what clued me in that they were being orchestrated was the fact that they were ferried around in nice leased air conditioned busses and had signs printed at the union print shop. SEIU? Couldn’t be!

Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned. These egomaniacs think they own all of us.

America…Durbin is being orchestrated by the Democratzi Chicago mafia style political machine! He has the talking points and he is the chief Democratzi henchmen in Illinois next to Bilderberg Bush-Obama and his Rahm “fish head” Emannuel!

He must owe the machine big time for favors and kickbacks to swear such allegiance to the machine!

Daly, Durbin, the Messiah of Islam’s Messiah, your Governor Robbie…you name it you have are winning in slugs!

Illinois you should be ashamed of your elected politicians…you need to clean house big time!

I think sometimes the citizens of Illinois are really proud of their “mafia” sytle politicians. You are as much a disgrace as to the whole of Washington…you are running neck and neck!

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

Washington slugs…listen up…

Throughout the enactment of the bailout, the stimulus, the omnibus, the cap & trade and now “government run” healthcare…solid…peaceful…cordial…soft spoken…moms…pops…grandpas and grammas all over this great Republic have respectfully called/emailed and written your offices to tell you what “we” think.

We being your constiuents…those who elected you to represent “us”!

Instead we see that you are representing only your own self-interests and the party directives that you represent!

We are appalled at your arrogance and your ignorance as to why you are in Washington in the first place!

We were looking forward to this break for you to come home so that we could tell you in person how we thought.

But instead, you got your marching orders and your talking points, from the Democratzi in Washington telling us what “you” want and what “you” will be doing.

We don’t want to hear “you”!

We have heard you on the news, in your newsletters to us, on the talkshows, etc. We have heard your points…your talking points.

What you do not seem to understand is that we were looking forward to the Town Hall meetings so that you can hear “us” in person as to what “we” want!

We want you to hear “us”! We have tried to communicate what “we” want for months now…and you have refused to listen!

Now you come back home and start, again, with the propaganda…what do you expect from your people…a soft spoken conversation? Cordial dialogue?

We have done that…we want you now to “shut up” and hear “us”! Let your constituents speak to you.

Just one case in Michigan…with John Dingell…when the father brought his son with cerebral palsy…whom he had taken care of all his life with the help of his insurance…his private insurance…not government insurance!

In the “government run” healthcare system, Dingell is promoting, he tried to tell the people that a provision was there…but the people are not dum! They have read the bill, even though Congress has not!

They know this boy and others with special needs will not be covered. It is saying to this father and mother and millions of them in similar circumstances…that you don’t care about their son and his needs. That you would rather he go away…die off…than spend money on!

And you expect the crowd to remain docile…unresponsive…not agitated?

Give us a break, Washington!

You have no idea…what is going on out here and you need to know and you need to listen!

Listen to “us”…not yourselves…not your agenda…not your propaganda…not your talking points…

US…LISTEN TO US…WE DO NOT WANT AN OVERHAUL OF OUR SYSTEM…WE DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE IN ANY FORM AT ANY TIME!

Then this President and his Democratzi Chicago mafia style have the nerve, the guts, to bring in the “brown shirts” of the Democratzi…their loyal Union members who have been exempted from this “government run” healthcare…to squash the free speech of our citizens granted to them by the Constitution of the United States of America.

You, Bilderberg Bush-Obama, have passed over the line of decency in being presidential.

You, Bilderberg Bush-Obama, have taken an oath to “preserve and protect” our country and your people.

You, Bilderberg Bush-Obama, are not doing that…instead you are “dividing and destroying” and that is grounds for impeachment!

America…when you contact your reps tell them impeachment is in order for this fraud in our White House!

We, the American people, will not be intimidated by the President elected to represent all the people…not just those who agree with him!

Sarah Bonsall   August 9th, 2009 - 9:50 pm

Senator Durbin does NOT speak for the majority of citizens and taxpayers in the United States of America.

I am a senior citizen, an employer, a long time taxpayer and concerned citizen. I am NOT a paid Acorn “volunteer” or a Union member. As an employer, I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in “contributions” to Social Security and Medicare, not only in the funds contributed from the gross pay of my employees, but the matching “contributions” I was required to pay for each employee over the years I have been in business.

Now, at the time when I am a senior and may need the services of Medicare, I am told that at my age, I need “end of life counseling” that my health services will be limited depending on my age and physical condition. I am told that Medicare funds to which I have contributed will not be used for MY healthcare, but will be transferred to assist those who do not have health insurance, including “resident aliens” whether legal or illegal along with those who have chosen NOT to purchase health insurance.

For many years we have been told that the unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid run into trillions of dollars, that these programs are “broke”. yet this new healthcare bill places these programs in danger of collapsing by taking billions of dollars from the existing programs to partially fund a new program. I have read the bill, which most of the Congress proudly says they have NOT read.

Americans! Say NO, tell your Congressman NO, tell your Senator NO and tell President Obama, NO.

muggins   August 9th, 2009 - 9:57 pm

I’m with doogle, when Obama and his folks dump a big steaming pile of manure on me and then try to convince me it’s french vanilla ice cream, I’m officially motivated.

Laffing at Dem morons   August 9th, 2009 - 10:10 pm

That you Senator Turbin are a “bean bag” is clear when you talk to us the American voters with the truth not some bs that’ll pass for the truth….

Durbin have you read the bill yet????

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   August 9th, 2009 - 10:12 pm

Dear Sarah Bonsall at 9:50 pm…I truly appreciate your heartfelt comments!

Don’t give up…none of us can ever give up…there is too much at stake in our great nation at this perilous time!

It is not just the “government run” healthcare…it is “government” trying to run everything in our lives!

Slowly, but surely, they are methodically and subtly moving into our personal freedoms and liberties!

We cannot afford to let that happen…not only for ourselves…but think about the nation we will be leaving to our children and their children.

In my lifetime alone I have seen my father being one of the first generations to get a “pension” and “social security”!

Then with our generation we also benefited. I worked at one time for Western Union Telegraph…we had people at that time who had 45 yrs with the company.

Now our children will never, ever experience working for a company that long or ever hope to get a “pension” from a company that will amount to much.

And how about their children, America, when we have already lost so much…how much will be left for them and their future!

We cannot stop…we must…speak up and speak out!

Tomorrow is Monday morning the start of a new week…of surprises and disappointments from Bilderberg Bush-Obama…what will tomorrow hold that will erode our freedoms and liberties even further?

Your representatives are home…call their “local” offices and tell them how you feel. Find out where they will be holding meetings and attend those meetings.

Speak up and speak your mind…do it respectfully but with firmness so that they understand how “we” the American taxpayer feels.

Showing in numbers alone speaks volumes…more than words!

Show up and speak out, if you can!

We will be victorious…because Americans always fight to the finish to win…unlike the new policy in Afghanistan and stated by Bilderberg Bush-Obama!

Fight on, America, together united as a free people, not a party, we will rid Washington of the scum and the slugs that now call it home!

Vote Durbin out of office. He is clueless. Darn it, he is from Illinois. Clearly he has not read the bill, diminished payment to Medicaid DSH is littered throughout HR 3200 [ex,759-763 to name a few]. I noticed reduced payments earlier in the bill, unfortunately, I only circled them as opposed to recording them. By the way under the family planning services, sec. 1714 p. 770, although not stated, many states include abortions under this heading, as well as the morning after pill. Refer to the bill and the Social Security Laws. Do not let these misinformed politicians lie or as they say put a spin on what is covered in HR3200. As far as the other bills, I have started reading them now. Read the bill. Possibly this bill will not make it to the floor. Hopefully the others are not as ambiguous.

Jenny   August 9th, 2009 - 10:19 pm

Is that the plan Dick? Thank God for the second amendment. Ntice how our Founding Fathers (filthy white men) put those two roghts one and two?

WSJ   August 9th, 2009 - 10:51 pm

from the wall street journal july 20:

We could go on, and we will in coming days. But the most remarkable quality of this health-care exercise is its reckless disregard for economic and fiscal reality. With the economy still far from a healthy recovery, and the federal fisc already nearly $2 trillion in deficit, Democrats want to ram through one of the greatest raids on private income and business in American history. The world is looking on, agog, and wondering why the United States seems intent on jumping off this cliff.

This tells us one thing, that our protests are working. Let them accuse us of organizing I mean who gives a crap if we do organize? To hell with the radical liberals who already have GM, the Banks, Fanny Mae and Freddie. That’s enough! They will not get our health insurance and cap and trade. They want to own our lives, tell us what to do and when to die. No thannk you, it’s my life!
Just continiue to support one another, be at the meetings and let them know they can’t own you!

Nadeen   August 9th, 2009 - 11:42 pm

I am shocked that a man who was elected president told his people to show up at the town halls and if they push you push back harder.
I mean what type of person does this? This is unheard of! He’s a Chicago thug and his true colors are shining through. We all noticed there was no violence until he called out his goons.
We have the right to free speach and we have the right to assemble. For some reason the liberals think that right belongs only to them.
TO HELL WITH ALL OF THEM I WILL GO AND I WILL RUN MY MOUTH AND PROTEST ALL I WANT! THEY WILL NOT TAKE MY HARD EARNED MONEY AND HEALTHCARE FROM ME!

I have never been to a Town hall meeting until last Thursday at the Castor meeting.I had never heard of the SEIU union until last Thursday. I was beat up and embarrased by these goons for trying to keep a door open!
Games on Mr President.

These s**theads in DC still don’t get it. Earth to DC….these are real Americans, everyday middle class people who are just FED UP! No orchestration, no union thuggery. Get a clue, we are angry and we are a sleeping giant. Now that you have ticked us off we are not going to rest until we get our country back and get the government out of our lives! We aren’t just republicans or gun clingers, we are democrats and independents too. Listen up or suffer the consequences!

anon   August 10th, 2009 - 12:04 am

Was it the walkers or the canes that gave it away?

Don   August 10th, 2009 - 12:08 am

It seems to me that Republicans simply don’t want town hall meetings to take place. There is no interest in asking any questions; they are purely throwing tantrums until it is canceled.

That’s fine by me, they have no choice about heath care reform, it’s coming whether or not they want it. If they don’t want to be informed about the actual details it’s their loss.

People keep crying about this and that, but the bottom line is you don’t have to participate in it if you don’t want to. We are far behind the rest of the modernized world in caring for our underprivileged, this is just one small step in the right direction that our President will take.

The Republican party failed America, so America took their power away. You can claim the sky is falling, spread lies, and threaten to vote Democrats out of power, but for now you’ll have to accept the change you earned and see if it works or not.

Alex   August 10th, 2009 - 12:09 am

This is going to get even more ugly. I don’t believe these are orchestrated and I
don’t think these government officials are showing true respect to their constituents.
I think you’re going to here terms like ‘Recall’ and ‘protest’ more in the next couple
years if this is any indication.

Sunnyr   August 10th, 2009 - 1:03 am

Dick Durban is a cheap Chicago politician who doesn’t have a frickin’ CLUE! These Liberal weasels try to project their own two-bit tricks on the people who come out to oppose the endless SPENDING and a rotten Government Takeover of almost 20% of our nations economy. We are united, Independents, Moderate Democrats and Conservatives, in a common cause, FREEDOM, to make our own choices and keep the incompetent, corrupt thieves in Congress OUT of our lives from cradle to grave. I wish I could vote to boot this idiot OUT but I’ll have to depend on the people in Illinois, who are not brain damaged, to do it for America!

Gandhi's Fist   August 10th, 2009 - 1:42 am

To those who put this particular “Dick” in office. Howsabout sending him packing next term. While we’re at it–California–you could do much better. Here are some options. Go to a local phone book, open to a random page, stick in a pin and–voila–a new and better candidate for office than either Pelosi, Waxman or Boxer, guaranteed.

The vile creatures that are our current crop of politicians have to go. They’ve got their hands in our pockets and want desperately to control how we live our lives and even think. Shrink government, get common sense candidates and lower taxes. The economy will right itself shortly thereafter. Presently, these ponzi scheme political crooks are working up a bill so huge, your grandchildren’s children won’t have paid the debt off. They won’t even be blamed, we elected them and–by then–they may have even expired. They make Madoff look like an amateur conman. Come on people, these crooks are giving themselves executive jets to tool around the country with! Does that sound like fiscal restraint in a weak economy to you? The Dems make the most greedy GOPers look like pikers.

Wake up conservative America. It matters who we put in office. Status quo voting is leading this country down the primrose path to socialism. Not the relatively benign sort as you might see in northern Europe, but rather the more malignant sort we saw in the middle of the last century, lead by yet another, moving and charismatic public speaker. As a rule of thumb, if the media likes the candidate, then be suspect. An endorsement from the NY Times–for example–would only be meaningful if you used that knowledge to put your support for the opposition.

Matt   August 10th, 2009 - 2:09 am

The next time a reporter asks who is motivating us to attend these meetings just say Obama. They fail to see that it is him that is motivating us. We are not the ones with premade signs with big fonts to read well on camera. We are not the ones all wearing matching uniforms.

Dick Turbin   August 10th, 2009 - 2:53 am

So when these despicable democrats punch back twice as hard, we need to punch back a million times harder. These Marxist pukes like Dickless Turbin need to be put in a homeless shelter with Pukelosi and Obamit.

americanLatina   August 10th, 2009 - 3:28 am

If there is lots of money paying for these protests, where’s mine? I keep going out, writing letters, making signs, etc. but haven’t gotten any money.

I guess I need to work for the organizer-in-chief who pays for his mobs?

As I go to protests and then see the lies of what actually happened by the “news” wow–I am ticked off.

No SOCIALISM! America is better than that!

Joe Plumber   August 10th, 2009 - 4:21 am

How do you expect me to trust a man who has this agenda?

It’s called the “Cloward-Piven” strategy. A communist means of overloading a system in order to “break” it and create chaos.
Learn more here:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

FastFacts   August 10th, 2009 - 4:22 am

Obviously his rhetoric is orchestrated and so is the media’s ‘concerns.’ I always find it interesting how the media can come up with the same catch phrases at the exact same time. You would think they would all try to come up with their own phrases or sayings but it’s as if they were sent something from a certain party to talk about, dare we say it ‘Talking Points Memos’ from the Democrat Party so they can attack a certain group all at the same time. Because as everyone knows, if the media says it, it must be true. This makes me upset and that is why I view sites like Drudge and http://www.AmericanParchment.com.

Joe Plumber   August 10th, 2009 - 4:22 am

Saul Alinsky method. And that is today’s Democratic Party
Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite. Trained by Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation, Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked closely with ACORN and its offshoot Project Vote, both creations of the Alinsky network.
Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.
That Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama share an Alinskyite background tells us two things. First, they are leftists, dedicated to overthrowing our Constitutional system. Second, they will go to any length to conceal their Marxist radicalism from the public and they have the mainstream media to cover for them.
That is the Saul Alinsky method. And that is today’s Democratic Party.
This is what the Obama’s buddy Wade Rathke is busy doing:
(He is founder of ACORN, member of SDS, leader in the SEIU Union of Fascists)

http://newsrealblog.com/2009/07/30/fox-acorn-founder-wade-rathke-lusts-to-overthrow-the-capitalist-system/

Joe Plumber   August 10th, 2009 - 4:24 am

Rathke confirms in Olson’s footage (during what appears to be a book talk) that he is pursuing this strategy that calls for all Americans eligible for welfare payments to demand every penny to which the law “entitles” them. He urges people to “make sure that other people in the community” are actually getting their due from the government.

The Maximum Eligible Participation Solution is just the old Cloward-Piven Strategy in new clothes. This strategy, which aimed at radical social and political change, was articulated by Marxist university professors Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in a 1966 Nation article, “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” The two academics called for “a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls” in an effort to overwhelm the system. [Italics in original.]

Rathke writes in his book, “it is hard to believe that we cannot assemble the troops to mount a campaign for maximum eligible participation that harvests the opportunities and dollars already available if we could achieve full utilization of existing programs.”

DISAPPOINTED VOTER   August 10th, 2009 - 4:35 am

We used to think Dick Durbin was one of the GOOD GUYS, but now it looks like he’s just another O-flunkie who’ll say whatever he’s told, in order to push thru agendas NOT HEALTY FOR AMERICA.

NEWS FLASH: “ORCHESTRATED” means damned near the same thing as “COMMUNITY ORGANIZING.” There is nothing SHAMEFUL about ORCHESTRATED EFFORTS TO GET OUR POINT ACROSS. If it’s good enough for the HEAD-GOOSE, it’s good enough for all the little American GANDERS!!!

Marc Smith   August 10th, 2009 - 4:36 am

My question is how will we solve the health care mess? The price of health care is escalating at double the rate of inflation.
We are already paying for the uninsured and will continue too. Over time more and more people will not be insured so those of us currently have insurance will pay more and more for those who don’t. Where does this end?

I don’t see any of these people who are complaining about Obama’s plan presenting any alternative. I just see a bunch of people in a heard mentality wrapping themselves in flags and demonizing anyone who even presents a change.

Reminds me of all of the Dems who supported Regan only to find after he busted their unions that they were left out in the cold. Some people are so blinded by party allegiance or racial fears that they can’t see what’s in their own best interests.

Marc Smith   August 10th, 2009 - 4:44 am

Joe Plumber

Scare them!! Make Obama the communist Devil!! that’s it!!

Above all else, don’t get down to the real questions about how to solve the ever increasing price of health care in America and the growing numbers who cannot afford to be insured and who end up as critical cases in the Emergency rooms. Great job!!

Don’t change anything. Just keep those of us who are insured paying more for those who don’t. Excellent, excellent idea.

Republicans are out of ideas folks and CONSPIRACIES are all they have left.

BORN TO BE *FREE*   August 10th, 2009 - 5:03 am

FREEDOM-LOVING AMERICANS know better than to believe the crap that’s being spewed all around us lately. We know that America was BUILT by hard-working, RUGGED INDIVIDUALS, who had faith in themselves, their God, and their own hard work. These INDIVIDUALS knew that INCOME results from OUTPUT, and they were motivated by a desire to SUCCEED and MAKE SOMETHING GOOD OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEIR COUNTRY. AMERICA is founded on the ethics of HARD WORK, INDIVIDUALISM, PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY, and yes, THE CAPITALISTIC-PROFIT SYSTEM.

COUNTRIES, on the other hand, like CUBA, CHINA, RUSSIA who embraced COMMUNISM have *not* succeeded, either collectively or as individuals. They threw out the good ol’ values like REVERENCE FOR GOD, the ETHIC OF HARD WORK and the VALUE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. LOOK WHERE THEY ARE NOW…

OTHER COUNTRIES, like most of those in AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, and other third-world countries, have *NEVER* had anything but a TRIBAL, collective mind-set, and they are the WORST-faring of all! They are poverty-stricken, war-torn countries who cannot get their act together, despite their TRIBAL mentality!

TRUE AMERICANS KNOW BETTER THAN TO FALL FOR THE CRAPOLA BEING DISHED OUT DAILY, THAT WE NEED “CHANGE” IN THE FORM OF SOCIALISTIC/COMMUNISTIC OVERHAULING OF ALL OUR SYSTEMS. What we need is a RENAISSANCE OF TRUE AMERICANISM, where we redouble our efforts at BECOMING QUALITY *INDIVIDUALS* WHO REVERE GOD AND FAMILY, WHO WORK HARD AND REAP A GOLDEN HARVEST FOR OUR HARD WORK.

TRUE AMERICANS VALUE OUR FREEDOM AND WE WILL *NOT* LET IT BE WRENCHED AWAY FROM US–AND CERTAINLY NOT BY A BUNCH OF IVY-LEAGUE-EDUCATED SOCIALISTS AND THEIR FREE-LOADING MINIONS!

~AMEN~!

You have to realize some people have the ability to type more than 5 words a minute, so that’s how I am able to write such a swift response to a comment that I think is worth responding to. Ill say this, as America becomes more educated/open minded we become more liberal, we realize that the “old/Republican” point of view is very outdated. The majority of the people against this plan are senior citizens who are very narrow minded and stuck in there ways (but they love there medicare! which is government run). That’s why you get all the crazies at the town hall meetings saying “the government is going to kill me AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” P.S… I’m a Vet who loves his VA Health Care, good job US Government!

john g.   August 10th, 2009 - 6:51 am

Every time some Dem or Repub talks about the increase in health care cost the answer should be “get rid of state and fed mandates and that will greatly reduce cost even more than tort reform.”

poetopoet   August 10th, 2009 - 7:12 am

Friends, Americans, Citizens, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Obama, not to praise him;
The evil that men do, lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Obama … The noble Voters
Hath told you Obama was ambitious”
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Obama answered it …
Here, under leave of Voters and the rest,
(For Voters are honorable men and women;
So are they all; all honorable men and women)
Come I to speak in Obama’s funeral …
He was my friend, faithful and just to me?
But the Voters say he was ambitious;
And Voters are honorable men and women….
He hath brought many captives home to D.C.,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Obama seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Obama hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Voters says he was ambitious;
And Voters are honorable men and women.
You all did see that on the House Floor
Voters thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Voters says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honorable man.
I speak not to disprove what Obama spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:

It starts; this is the agenda Obama is pushing, with dumb token white czars, WAKE UP!

I want the military to get Obama out of the White House, because our representatives in congress and senate are brain dead.

“Quote from Obama’s theological leader of black liberation theology, James Cone, pushing for a civil war if blacks don’t get everything they want:
“Whether the American system is beyond redemption we will have to wait and see. But we can be certain that black patience has run out, and unless white America responds positively to the theory and activity of Black Power, then a bloody, protracted civil war is inevitable.” [Black Theology and Black Power, Page 143]”
Many bitter blacks really want to enslave and white people because of the black’s hatred, racism, bitterness, greed, sloth, complaining, and unforgiveness–all sins in the Bible God hates):”

Dear Dick and dick like politicans,

I read the bills on healthcare and crap and trade – Did you?
If you did you would see that both are highly illogical. Neither will work.
Unlike you, my bills are not paid by taxpayers…. nor my salary. Nor do I get free transportation and the perks you get to orchestrate protests and run your mouth spouting lies and insults.
(wait let me check – nope, no luxury jet in my driveway yet -no lobbyist check in my bank account)
You are the reason the people are yelling and screaming. You and your Obamaton snake oil salesmen.

I have yet to get a single email from any organization asking me to protest. I am however checking daily to see when one is coming to a town near me. I have not been asked to put the prostest signs in my yard by any organization. Yet I did.

Stop insulting the American People. You likely will find yourself without a job soon if you keep it up. The American People are making a list.

So as a Nazi, Mob Member, thug for the right, uneducated, uninformed,orchestrated protesting idiot that you and your friends in Washington say that I am. I am asking others to put signs in their yards, bumperstickers on their cars, use your dollars where they make a difference. Not just at the protests, but daily.

We the American People have had Enough of your lies and insults. It doesn’t take an organization to make any individual feel like they are being trampled upon and insulted.
It doesn’t take an organization to tell an individual that their liberty is at stake.
Any person with common sense and the love for liberty can clearly see this on their own.

And Nancy, honey, pretty is as pretty does.

Stick your NAIS, Obamacare, and Cap and Trade where the sun don’t shine.

Dick repeatedly fought against any attempt for liability reform. Many doctors, especially Neurosurgeons, left the State of Illinois. The running joke was to avoid driving in the bottom 2/3 of the state, as there was virtually no coverage if you were to get a head injury down there. Your chances of permanent brain injury were much higher, due to the time it would take to transfer the victim to a place that had a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeons were paying over $200,000/yr in liability and couldn’t make ends meet in the more rural 2/3 of the state. The state has a cap now, but it hasn’t brought back many of the skilled doctors that left. The liability insurance really hasn’t decreased, as the caps are repeatedly overturned in Illinois.

I don’t believe for one minute that Dick cares the health of the people in Illinois. I vote against him every chance I get. I would find a way to make it to the voting booth if I had a 105 fever.

@Mark Smith….”Above all else, don’t get down to the real questions about how to solve the ever increasing price of health care in America…”

It’s hard to drain the swamp when you’re up to your azz in alligators.

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that there’s a need for some kind of reform. But, when things are being shoved down our throats so fast we (and our elected officials) aren’t even being giving the time to digest this monstrosity, we’re in NO MOOD TO COOPERATE!

Obama just needs to back off and allow the public in general to help build a workable plan rather than turning the effort over to the Congress to put something together.

So then there is a part of the bill that prohibits abortions being paid for? Not at all. The only way to stop abortions from being paid for is to stipulate that abortions will not be paid for by this bill. Lacking that then sure enough abortions WILL BE PAID FOR by the US taxpayers BY FORCE.

Durbin is just another slimey democrat that spins the truth to support the DNC web of control. Nothing new here.

kmichaels   August 10th, 2009 - 11:38 am

Funny too that all the dems on tv are saying the excact same line, which was ORCHESTRATED by OBAMA and the DNC.

kmichaels   August 10th, 2009 - 11:41 am

Signs of being orchestrated using the evidence that the dem spinsters say is the evidence.

1) Scripted response (like all the dems saying that it is orchestrated)
2) Use the same message (like all the dems calling them mobs)
3) Some guy sent an email (like all the dem emails calling for the same scripted response)

SO THEN THE DEM RESPONSE IS CLEARLY BEING ORCHESTRATED.

OBAMA, THE GREAT DIVIDER
=============================
Obama sold himself as the great UNITER but his zeal for his left-wing ideology is causing the worse DIVISION in this country in decades.

And the Democrat representatives, demonizing ordinary citizens, are only compounding
the problems.

kmichaels   August 10th, 2009 - 12:06 pm

The democrat claimed surplus of Bill Clinton (236 billion) was created by using offsetting short term loans. The actual deficit increase during that same period of Clinton was 18 billion (INCREASE) meaning no real surplus at all, Just fancy Enron style bookkeeping.

Obama deficit went up 182 billion IN ONE MONTH.

One month of REAL SPENDING

compared to 8 years of Bush starting with a non existent surplus.

Funny things the dems are.

nickatdabeach   August 10th, 2009 - 2:25 pm

Durbin is pathetic. It’s with total sincerity that I say I truly believe citizens should demand & begin impeachment proceedings against this sitting President of the United States. There are entirely too many gaps in Barack Hussein Obama’s history left unexplained. Two autobiographies are too convenient and cannot be left unchallenged. Obozo allegedly traveled to Pakistan in 1980s on an Indonesian passport. How does an American citizen get an Indonesian passport? Anyone know? I don’t think our once-great country can tolerate another 3.5 years of this man’s so-called leadership. I do not suggest this action lightly.

Hey Durbin, I got your orchestra right here and the music is getting louder every time you idiots in Washington start this kind of crap!

September 12th march on Washington. I am going because a friend asked me and my husband to go. I will do whatever I can to save this country from people such as Dick Durbin. If he keeps getting reelected I will seriously wonder about the intelligence of the voters as he is against the people and only for a larger centralized government which will answer to no one.

OBAMA, THE GREAT DIVIDER

Obama was sold as the great UNITER but his pushing his ideology is creating the worse division in this nation in decades.

Democrat Representatives are demonizing the citizens they are supposed to represent.

Now Obama (and his Chicago gansta Rahm) is distancing himself for the very ideology he has espoused.

If you want to know the healthcare bill, ready the summary from the legal firm who actually read the whole thing:

It is easy to tell when Durbin is lying. Its when his lips are moving… Numerous democrats up to and including Obama have publicly made statements that the final goal is the destruction of insurance companies.

We the People, our founding four fathers said to us; just be a natural born citizen and you can be president. Not what race, religion or even nationality you are, just be a natural born citizen, that’s all, nothing more, nothing less they wrote into The U.S. Constitution.

Now today America has a president vetted by a certified screwball Dr. Howard Dean, and our inapt, vile and corrupt congress. Who accepted on face value a fraudulent document of the president’s birth right as a natural born citizen, that is a well proven forgery, commonly called a COLB, a Certificate Of Live Birth, that are given out like tissue paper in the state of Hawaii.

Who would believe with today’s technology and security, such a thing could happen?
Will it has happened and the consequences are growing daily with civil unrest and protests. In history, primarily America’s history, the press, now called the media views and prints any civil such protest as a bunch of thieves, hooligans, birthers who should be shoot on sight, if they had there way; well they did in Boston and else where in our history, that shall not be repeated I hope to spawn a new revolution .

There are grievous reasons for civil disobedience that we see on the nightly news, mostly in old people not young people protesting the current trends in the administration in power. Who among you ever heard of Paul Reveres Ride? His warning cries heard as a shoot to your heart, The British Are Coming! The British Are Coming!

Wake up America the British have landed again and you have seated him power, in one Barack Hessian Obama, with a British-Kenyan passport, who is NOT a natural born citizen. Our four fathers laid down their life, limb and property for, for you to accept and throw away, I doubt that. Now what to do, what to say? We have driven God out of everything possible and his simple commandments, so don’t expect God to save you or America.

This is a nightmare we brought upon our selves, regrettably, before the new first shoot is fired, America demand proof of citizenship of the Obama. Why on earth do you think they are breaking down our borders and rights for, they are vultures and vultures know when something is dieing! We are not dead yet, and let’s prove it to the media, the congress and the senate, they are NOT British royalty entitled to a fleet of private jets; when each are given 2,900,000; dollars to operate their elected office on top of their base salaries, which are 174,000.-224,000; plus untold benefits.

I shout, God save America! Not this godless British queen and king Obama.

Jammer   August 12th, 2009 - 9:53 am

First let me apologize… I live in the great state of Illinois and again I apologize on behalf of my state for having such a phony man representing my state. I did not vote for this man and believe me when I say I am looking forward to the day I can pull a lever to help get this arrogant man out of office and I hope the people in Illinois are with me on this. I cannot stand by a man that bad mouth are troops then realized he stuck his foot in his mouth and came back to his home state claiming we don’t do enough for veterans. Talking about a hypocrite he is one in the worst way, shame on him. I also wrote his office denouncing this healthcare bill and reminded him who the heck he works for, not his crony buddies in DC, not for the President, not for himself, and not for his party but for ME and MY state, and come election time I for one will remind him of just that. And this goes for the Presidents position as well, I will not be voting for the President again come election time. People if we want to be heard this is the best way, show each of these “career politicians” who they really work for, lets throw each and everyone of them out of office come election time. They can ignore us all they want except after an election, that’s when we can be heard LOUD and CLEAR.
