Real World DC, the remix...brought to us by reason.tv
This does make an interesting point; if there were to be the congress version of a Real World DC it would probably make a shit load of money for the network, more than what MTV currently makes on their Real World Seasons for the simple fact that these clowns (i.e. Rangel, Reid, Baucaus, etc.) are far crazier, more manipulative, and have more mental issues than any of MTV's past Real World Seasons. In fact, if you combine the cast of the Real World Seasons add the cast of Jersey Shore, include even some of the crazys filmed during the drunk bar brawls, you still wouldnt be able to match the dellusion of these members of congress...and that in itself says A LOT!
"Coming this winter to C-SPAN: The true story... of 535 politicians...picked to live in two houses...work together and their lives taped...to find out what happens...when Congress stops being polite...and starts secret, detailed negotiations on a sweeping, transformative health care reform bill... This is the real Real World DC. Featuring Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles Rangel, Robert Byrd, Barney Frank, Max Baucus...and billions of taxpayer dollars."
Obama couldn’t have been clearer on the campaign trail when he pledged, not once, not twice, but at least eight times that he would have C-SPAN televise the health-crap bill negotiations, negotiations that usually take place in closed backrooms where shady deals are made. Concerned by the lack of transparency in this administration, C-SPAN CEO, Brian Lamb, sent a letter to the stooges in Congress, oops I mean Nancy and Harry, asking them to allow C-SPAN to come in and broadcast the reconciliation negotiations...again, not out of the ordinary since Obama made the pledge himself.
The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of these sessions LIVE and in their entirety...
President Obama, Senate and House leaders, many of your rank-and-file members, and the nation’s editorial pages have all talked about the value of transparent discussions on reforming the nation’s health care system. Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the Chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American.
We hope you will give serious consideration to this request...
I’m not sure what is worse, the fact that Obama is a liar or the fact that more than half the country believed him...you tell me! For the left, the ends justify the means. They want to pass this bill by any means necessary and deal with the repercussions later. This bill is so awful and the stooges are so corrupt that they have to pass it quickly without anyone reading it, no bi-partisan support, and what's even more concerning is the fact that they have to bribe their own party to vote for this horrendous bill. How can anyone support this bill based on those facts?Even if they support the content, the process itself should cause hesitation to supporters and opponents alike. Ha. The notion that they would allow C-SPAN to broadcast the negotiations…they won’t even let one single Republican in! Freakin Nuts! Brian Lamb deserves recognition and applause for questioning this administration, something that he MSM libtards clearly could not…or would not do.
At first it's funny because its amusing but then you take a step back and you realize that this isn't a joke, its our reality...and then its not really funny anymore! Bob...what's next?!
Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Illinois) posed a truly outstanding question for those in support of this healthcrap bill. If the bill is so great then why do you have to force Americans to join? As Rep. Roskam questions, why criminalize those who choose to opt-out? Better yet, why aren’t those same public servants (well they’re supposed to be public servants, instead its become apparent that many of them, not all, but a lot our elected officials regard themselves to be of a higher class much like monarchs) signing up for this plan themselves. Once again, if this plan is soo great then why arent they jumping at the opportunity to be on it! Yeah, that'll be the day!
This health-crap bill not only ensures an increase in our taxes but now our tax dollars are going to be spent arresting Americans who refuse to sign up. How much more ridiculous does this have to get for the other half to get out of their fantasy world and realize that this bill chips away at our freedom. Is it worth it to trade freedom and individualism for promises that realistically cannot be kept? Sadly, the bill passed the House 220-215 this past Saturday. Amazingly, even with a democratic majority, the bill narrowly passed though at this point, what matters is not the numbers but rather the fact that the bill passed in general. They are taking Americans, a more accurate description would be dragging Americans, while they are kicking and screaming in opposition, down the road of socialism. Its actually a bit like kidnapping if you think about it…the majority of Americans, about 72% according to a CNN poll, oppose this particular bill and yet the Democrats, much like the mullahcracy in Iran, turn their noses at the citizens and go on their business. After all, (in their opinion) they know what’s best for us even if we refuse to accept it. Via townhall
“This is your moment, now is your time, let your voice be heard.”
The video posted below was released by Congressman Mike Pence who is urging all Americans to take a stand and speak up against this Pelosi Health-crap takeover bill, which by the way is rumored to get a vote on Friday. According to Rep. Bachmann, if the bill went to the floor today, they would not have enough votes to pass it but Pelosi's plan is to wait until Friday in hopes that she'll be able to twist enough arms and buy a few more congressmen off by then.
So funny yet so true! Parody mocks overpaid celebs who make public service announcements on subjects that they have no business addressing...
People are sick of the Lib Hollywood crowds interference in affairs that they have no business doing so. If you're an entertainer...stick to entertaining and stay out of politics!
As much as the outburst by Joe Wilson was not exactly respectful and normally I would be 100% against such displays of inappropriate behavior, I do understand why and how this happened. Here you have a President who is giving another campaign speech in front of the nation, addressing congress no less, and his speech is filled with lies and partisan b.s. I have never heard a President be so divisive on purpose. He even told opponents that he would out them…threatening? So, in a moment of frustration, Congressman Wilson lost control and let it out. I was yelling at my TV at home! Let me ask you a question, the President, on this forum took a shot at Sarah Palin. He called her a liar. Tell me what the difference is? I don’t think a President should stoop that low to hit someone who disagrees with his plan, who by the way is correct in her assertion…Read the bill if you don’t believe me (that goes for you to Mr. President). He’s a bully. Out of all the pundits that have disagreed with him, he went after her…So really, it may have been “rude” for Wilson to scream out the truth and insult the President but what’s the difference between what he did and what the President himself did. The President contradicts himself all the time. He talks about civility and discussion but he then proceeds to bash the Republicans, present false information about their positions, and leaves them out of the discussion. He has the gull to say that the Republicans don’t have a plan which once again (surprise, surprise) is a big fat fib! Too bad their bill was in their hand, if the President would take a minute to stop campaigning and pay attention to anyone but himself he would take notice. Also, why is he continuing to turn his back on the American people in order to pass a bill he says is urgent yet won’t go in effect until 2013…Suspicious? Chyeah!
The NRCC put a nice video compilation together for the men and women returning to Congress. The video is appropriately titled ‘Welcome Back’ though I think most of us dread their return to D.C. I’d rather pay them to take a leave of absence until midterm elections! In fact, I’d rather double, no triple their pay if they would stay home! The more they dip their hands into, the more they harm our economy, values, and all together the American way that has made our country so successful!
I know I’ve said this a million gazillion times but it’s still shocking to observe the behavior of our elected officials who were selected to represent their constituents. How arrogant does one have to be to totally disregard the views of the people to instead do whatever he or she deems acceptable when it is not in the best interest of our country.
Well what can I say except that here’s one more example of ASTROTURF on the LEFT! An organizer for HCAN is caught on tape coaching “supporters” of the health-crap bill on how to wreck havoc upon the town hall and drown out any opposition! When have we ever been intimidated into silence by our own representatives and called improper names if we dare to reject their lies? If you discuss the current situation with someone who has immigrated to the United States from a country where freedom was only a dream and/or socialism, they’ll tell you how they are familiar with this format of stacking the chips in the governments favor. The truth is not relevant, what is important is the truth they want us to believe (i.e busloads of supporters brought into the town halls from around the state). These people are experts at deception. After all, these people belong to the same party that somehow fools millions of minorities into believing that they actually stand for them when all evidence points to the contrary.
As the producer of the video states, I am also proud to have Rep. Michelle Bachmann in Congress as a defender of the constitution. She may not be my Congresswoman but she does stand up for conservative values at all times. This is one fearless lady! She tells it straight, she says what she means, and she’s not afraid to debate irrational liberals. I know Bachmann has plenty of haters, people who have nothing better to do than monitor her every movement and word in order to take them out of context. Thus they intend to make false allegations on those words they twisted in an effort to discredit her. Her opposition already tries to make her sound like she’s off the wall nutty. I’ll be honest with you; I was worried for a moment that they were going to attack Bachmann as they did Palin. Because she’s attractive, she’s republican, and not to mention outspoken, she's considered an enemy by those who disagree with her positions. Let us not forget Alinskys strategy or what’s better known as the modern lib handbook, their strategy is to isolate and ridicule which has happened already with immense persistence. Like a dork (I mean dork in the most complimentary of ways! Wanted to clarify, you never know when the PC police decide show up and begin issuing citations) I am absolutely into all things political and try my best to follow all issues as close as I can. So you can imagine that I was familiar with Michelle Bachmann. As much as I’ve heard her speak, watched her interviews, and am knowledgeable about her positions, it would be dishonest to act as if I know anything about who she is and her past qualifications. I decided I would find out more about her and its actually quite interesting. Not only is she intelligent, her and her husband are very compassionate people. Here are a few facts you may or may not know about Rep. Michelle Bachmann: -She has 5 children and has been a foster parent for over 23 children (that’s amazing) -She received her J.D (law degree) and also her LL.M degree in tax law -She served in the state senate from 01-07 -Her and her husband own a small business which employs over 42 people -6th District in Minnesota and was elected for her second term in 2008 -Elected in 2006 as the first Republican woman to represent Minnesota -She spent 5 yrs as a Federal Tax Litigator attorney working on hundreds of civil and criminal cases.
Sorry folks, she’s not only attractive, straight forward, fearless, but she’s intelligent and very considerate.
The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House...
..."The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue," spokeswoman Susan Sewell said in a written statement. "Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News." NBC, meanwhile, said it has not turned down the ad and will reconsider it with some revisions. "We have not rejected the ad," spokeswoman Liz Fischer told FOXNews.com. "We have communicated with the media agency about some factual claims that require additional substantiation. As always, we are happy to reconsider the ad once these issues are addressed." Adams objects to ABC's assertion that his group's position is partisan. "It's a position that we would argue a vast majority of Americans stand behind," he said. "Obviously, it's a message that ABC and the Obama administration haven't received yet."
So basically Obama gets an hour long FREE time slot on ABC to discuss his healthcrap bill but a group PAYING for an ad in opposition on healthcare is way too partisan for ABC. Right. Maybe it would behoove ABC to force Obama's hour long infomercial to be reviewed for accuracy! Of course that would be too much to ask of a journalist and a news agency!
Silly-fun video that exposes the truth about the whole Pelosi b.s right wing AstroTurf garbage.
I attended a town hall rally and low and behold guess who the volunteers were...UNIONS! It was way too obvious that half of the people in support of the bill were there at the direction of a group like 'Healthcare for America' whose signs were being passed around. The opposition who are supposedly mob members were a lot less organized, their signs were homemade, and to be quite honest, they were more knowledgeable about the facts rather than spewing the left wing talking points which lacked substantive information. I'm not saying this to be rude but the people I spoke to in support of this health'fraud' bill said the same thing over and over, trying to argue a compassion plea but lacking any other information. If they did supplement their argument with facts (or so they thought), they were supposed facts because they came out of the Presidents mouth. Well I really dislike telling you this but um...hes kind of all talk and no show. Lets be wise, take a look into history, politicians LIE...surprise surprise. FDR lied about Social Security and led people to believe it was more of a personal savings account. It happens! That's one example out of many. You have to realize that its up to us and our investigative journalist to expose the truth. Unfortunately because the journalist seem to have dozed off on duty, its up to you and I to make decisions based on our own research and not because someone says its true. Do you go to the car dealership or buy a house without doing some research beforehand? You look into the neighborhood, you find out how much the other houses that are similar to it were sold for. You get an inspection to make sure everything is as they say it is. You do your homework! Well folks lets do our homework on this healthcrap bill! You'll have no one to blame but yourself...well maybe those slimy politicians too.
David Hedrick, the marine who schooled Congressman Brian Baird defended his position on Hannity. You will find, as did I, that this man is very passionate and intelligent. I would like to ask Pelosi if she thinks that Hedrick is part of the “mob”…or maybe the Dems refer to our military as the “mob”. A politician in the making, you decide?
Oh and by the way, Congressman Baird, maybe you should go to the store and grab some beer or at least have one of your interns do so. This guy wants his apology and he sure as heck deserves it! Beer summit anyone? Ridiculousness!
Town hall meetings have been somewhat disruptive in the past few weeks as a direct result of Obama's healthfraud...oops I mean healthcare plan. As an elected official, a representative for their constituents, these politicians should be understanding over the outrage regarding this massive healthcare disaster overhaul! This particular video (posted below) is from the town hall of a Democrat, Brian Baird (yes, the “brown shirts” guy). It is apparent that this Marine is angry and he has every right to be! Watch the video and let me know what you think!
Scary... Did you ever think that there would be a day in America where ordinary citizens are branded as the enemy and politicians (chiefly, Democratic politicians) pay organizations or stage fake support? I mean let’s not be silly, we all know that politics has never been clean but this is beyond anything I could have imagined! I mean these people are serious in their unrelenting pursuit to achieve nationalized healthcare (which is basically the first step to reconstructing our country in the opposite direction of our founding fathers and our constitution) and they are throwing in everything they’ve got! It makes you think, why is this so important that it needs to be passed right away and without any hesitation? Obviously this bill is ridiculous but something else smells and it’s coming from the left side of the aisle!
