Inhofe admits he’ll vote against health care bill without even reading it.
One of the most vociferous opponents of health care reform has been Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), who previously promoted blocking reform because it would be a “huge gain” for the GOP. The Oklahoma-based Express-Star reports that Inhofe told a town hall crowd yesterday that he will vote against health reform legislation without even reading it or knowing what’s in it:
At a town hall meeting Wednesday Sen. Jim Inhofe told Chickasha residents he does not need to read the 1,000 page health care reform bill, he will simply vote against it.
“I don’t have to read it, or know what’s in it. I’m going to oppose it anyways,” he said.
He went on to tell the crowd we are “almost reaching a revolution in this country” due to opposition to health reform. Inhofe is not alone in saying he will vote against any health reform bill. Last week Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) told Fox News that he doesn’t think a “single Republican” will vote for health care reform.

That retard is typical of the repiggie party today.
Why would any of you bother to vote for any of that trash, even for local office?
If Imhofe is so damned opposed to government-backed health care, then why won’t that hypocrite renounce his own coverage and that of his family?
Screw the repiggies, and screw the teabagger trash.
Let’s get this health care reform done now and done properly.

August 27th, 2009 at 12:46 pmSometimes a housecat will need medication.
But, because it’s a cat, it doesn’t understand that.
SO a good cat owner must do what is necessary,
wrestle that cat to the floor, pry its jaw open, and, at the risk of getting scratched and bitten,
ram that pill down its unwilling throat.
The cat will be pissed, for sure, and it will avoid that owner for a couple of days, but once the medicine has done its job, and the animal is feeling itself again, it will be right back in that owner’s lap, purring.

August 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pmWhen they reveal themselves, believe it.
Inhofe represents the repugniscum party’s position on health care from the get-go — stall it, water it down, but in the end vote against it.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pmHe knows he’s right and carries his gun to prove it.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pmI bet Oklahoma is one proud state….
August 27th, 2009 at 12:53 pmCan Inhofe even read?

the Quisling Quarter Tantrum Tossers are about 24-26% of the electorate. therefore, they cannot have their way. it’s just a little basic arithmetic, bro – if you’d do anything but watch fox and listen to the AM blowhards, you’d know that.
now hold still and take your medicine like a good kitty.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:54 pm“almost reaching a revolution…”? Well, Inhofe is certainly revolting enough.
I’d like to think that our Elect, the Congresscritters of the House and Senate, would have the sense to vote on the merits of any bill, after reflection and study, after consideration of whether the bill represents an improvement for the Nation, rather than just voting up or down on the basis of barking madness and party line. But no, that will never happen with people like Inhofe in place.
So, my contention remains that inhofe is the new synonym for stupid, brain dead, mean spirited, and ignorant, replacing the use of cretin, moron, and idiot, which apart from having been appropriate labels for an inhofe are also perjoratively applied to those of us who are less capable in the intellectual sense; quit dissing the intellectually “challenged” and just call an inhofe an infofe.

August 27th, 2009 at 12:59 pmWho, exactly, didn’t read that Bill, aaronk?
August 27th, 2009 at 12:59 pmWe had a town-hall meeting last night in Bryan / College Station, Texas. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, this is the heart of Limbaugh/Hannity territory, so it was rough going for our Dem. Congressional Rep Chet Edwards. The Repubs outnumbered us about 3 to 1 but we managed to hold our own in cheering for the points that he made.
Rep. Edwards has managed to get elected because he is a graduate of Texas A.M. her in town and his area extends into the Waco area that tends to be a little more liberal. But make no mistake about it…the Repubs truly hate him and did their best to throw him off track…he did well in defending himself.
Even after covering “death panels, covering illegal aliens, and not paying for abortions” they kept coming back to threes points like they never heard his answers. They kept yelling “no Government option” over and over. Edwards asked them if they would be willing to give up their Medicare and Social Security benefits hundreds of these idiots raised their hands and yelled YES…to the laughter of the rest of us.
Bryan and College Station are generally wonder cities to live, but it is so damned conservative its amazing. As an example, the movies “W’, Frost / Nixon, and Milk were prohibited from being shown in the theaters..
August 27th, 2009 at 12:59 pmIn reply to previous comments, Inhofe uses books all the time. Tears out the pages for arsewipe. Read? He can’t spell that word or any other, letter by letter, let alone read it. He’s just as ignorant and stupid as the day is long; whatta ya expect, he’s an inhofe.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:00 pmInhofe treats his constituent like his quail. He thinks they’re all fenced in with clipped wings and that they have no choice but to vote for his stupid a$$.

Paraphrasing (and with apologies to) Denis Diderot: Americans will never be free until the last Republican is strangled with the entrails of the last Conservative.
Until such moment, we’ll all remain as slaves to corporate interests along with the idiot politicians who do their bidding. Inhofe and Kyl — Makes me wonder where the hell were the liberal abortion laws when we really needed them?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:04 pmThe White Wing has fought health care reform for 1/2 a century.
Saying ‘NO’ has become a tradition to Inhofe, Coburn, et al.
It’s time for Americans to say ‘NO’ to them at the ballot box.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:05 pmwho wrote the pages, aaronk?
the people you say didn’t read them did.
see now, why people are saying you’re not too bright??
August 27th, 2009 at 1:05 pmSu’prise, su’prise! Inhofe opposes anything Obama and the Democrats propose.

Crap & Tirade, the Republic answer to reform.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:07 pmYou do that, Inhofe.
Because my uninsured friends, my “uninsurable” son, and I will vote against you in 2010, without listening to anything you have to say.

Well yes, but how smart can his constituents be? After all, they elected Jim Inhofe
August 27th, 2009 at 1:12 pmAnd how does he SEE that, without reading the bill? Is he clairvoyant?
Or is this a case of right-wingers who don’t have to see something in order to criticize it? Like the Christianists who criticized “Life of Brian” on the basis of its content, even though they had never seen the film?

Well the people that voted Inhofe in office know he isn’t interested in them but more in collecting the Lobbyist money for himself. Just think if Sen. Inhofe had been in office when the questions of Social Security, Medicare, Vets coverage and other problems were decided he would have voted against it. But notice how many Senior Law Makers benefit for those programs as well as have themselves/Family members covered by good Health Care Plans with taxpayers money. Give this a thought! No matter what happens with the Health Care Bill in the end we all die. Republicans and Democrats who choose to deny the basis human rights to fellow Americans will answer as to WHY?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:13 pm——————————————————————————–
Oh, so that’s why they never explain it.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:13 pmInhofe’s constituents are part of the “mean-streak” white cabal which will accept a slight hit to their benefits if it means that such advantages are denied to the “undeserving” darkies…
August 27th, 2009 at 1:14 pmWhy do these people hate Americans?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:14 pmNot a single vote for a republican, that’s how it should work. If not part of the solution, you’re the problem.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:15 pmMoney controls the politicians…and since we have so much deficit…which politicians created, its a pretty sure bet its not the taxpayers in control. So you dont want the government back in peoples hands but big business?
Thats goind down the slippery slope of fascism, AT
I for one, would never want any boss or company I have ever worked for in charge of any part of the government, working for them was bad enough.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:16 pm… and aaronk, vile little troll that he is, is incapable of any response other than “So? Democrats do it TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!“

Those who vote for him are double-down willfull idiots.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:16 pmI can’t see Inhofe’s name without seeing the word “Imhoff” instead. As in “Imhoff Cone”, which is a large glass cone used for measuring settleable solids in wastewater.
I’m pretty sure Inhofe himself is filled to the eyeballs with “solids”.

August 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pmAnd how is his home state of Michigan doing again?
Conyers, if he doesnt read the bill needs to go. And given the stuff (R)Shelly Bachmann [Michigan] say she doesnt appear to have read many bills either.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pmSo Inhofe is proudly proclaiming he’s not doing the job he was elected to do. Which is to represent the interests of his consituents. It’s difficult to imagine this being done when he refuses to read bills that come before him, and makes his voting decisions based on what’s he’s ordered to do by lobbyists and party leadership.
So who do I blame? Inhofe? The people of Oklahoma who elected him? Or the Republican Party in general?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pmDid you read the cap and trade bill aaronk?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pmi think aaronk would wander off if we’d all just humor him a little more – nod politely and say “mmm-hmm” and so on.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:22 pm“Inhofe will vote no w/out reading reform bill”
Inhofe can read? Doesn’t that make him an “elitist” in Oklahma, the Mississippi of the Midwest.

August 27th, 2009 at 1:24 pmI watched a documentary the other day called The power of nightmares and the neo-cons, allied with the conservatives and big business thru the CNP, talked of how they wanted to get americans united. However they sought to do it by fear and creating boogeymen that the country would, as a whole, rally against. It had the exact opposite effect, if that was the true intention, than what they professed publicly. I guess they didnt figure less than half of america would fall for the alternative reality BS.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pmAxthrower, are you going to tell us what you mean by “CONTROL”? We are growing impatient.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pmThe most patriotic thing Inhofe could do for poor and working class Americans is put the end of that shotgun in his mouth and blow his head off.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pm“Just pointing out liberal hypocrisy” with your own hypocrisy, scumbag.
Nicely done.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pmThat great socialist, Franklin Roosevelt, could have just let OK turn into a desert. Does anyone wonder what would have happened if Bush had been in charge.

August 27th, 2009 at 1:28 pmYes, it is all about CONTROL! The Republicans are losing it, their corporate masters are wetting themselves because they are as well. Shudder, people are starting to think for themselves.
This has to be nipped in the bud…nipped I say. Lets say some more stupid crap to scare them some more.
About right there, Ax?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:29 pmaaronk says “Maybe we should talk about Democratic Congressman John Conyers, who basically made fun of the idea of actually “reading the bill”. And how is his home state of Michigan doing again?”
The difference being, and I will use small words for you, The Bill Conyers is working on is not a final draft of a bill, it is one of several being worked on in both houses. Inhofe is saying he will vote no w/out reading the final bill.
As for Conyers being responsible for the auto industry collapse, bit of a stretch isn’t it?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:30 pmAnd Inhofe is the only one that I know of who has proudly declared that he DOESN’T HAVE TO read the bill.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:31 pmI miss-spoke. I meant to say, the bill Conyers is talking about, not working on.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:32 pmAx won’t explain to us what he means by “CONTROL”, so will have to assume that Hoodathunk is correct.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:32 pm“I don’t have to read it, or know what’s in it. I’m going to oppose it anyways,”

It is possible he has heard from a lot of people stupid and brainwashed enough that when Rush TOLD them to think something bone ignorant as that they bought it. On the other hand I doubt it. See really only the stupidest people on the planet buy into such transparent idiocy.
To do so they would have to ignore the FACT that currently 18,000 Americans per year DIE from lack of access to healthcare and that half of all bankrupcies are healthcare related even though most of those people HAD health insurance when their trouble began. You would have to be stupid enough to think there problems like that to address before you bought the laughable programming that it was about control.

_____________________________________________________________
No hypocrisy here. I’ll accept that no lawmaker can personally read every word of every bill put forth for consideration. This is why every lawmaker has a staff of people to help with this gargantuan task. The lawmaker has an obligation to understand what he’s voting on.
My objection is that Inhofe claims he’s going to vote against a bill (that isn’t even finished yet) WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT’S IN IT. This is irresponsible.
And yes — if a Democrat made the same stupid statement, I’d say the same thing.
Wasn’t Inhofe the guy who claimed he’d vote against Sotomayor’s confirmation without listening to anything she had to say or finding out anything about her, her qualifications, or her record? This must be his SOP.

August 27th, 2009 at 1:47 pmJim Inhofe has made a career out of voting no on bills he’s never read. In fact, I seriously question whether he’s smart enough to read, much less understand, mush of anything.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:47 pmIf aaronk weren’t such a repulsive scaly troll, it would almost be cute that he thinks a “radical left-wing organization” has any influence in Congress.
Of course, he probably thinks AARP is a “radical left-wing organization”.

August 27th, 2009 at 2:00 pmVery true, ralph. As nearly as I can tell Jimmy is the stupidest Senator but I have to give him the benefit of the doubt that he may just sound the stupidest. And some of the stupid may just be for the benefit of his stupid base.

August 27th, 2009 at 2:08 pmYou cannot go wrong embracing these philosophies
Ax appears to be self educated as well. While I applaud his diligence and agree everyone needs to take as much responsibility for themselves and their life as possible, I wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t been home to hear the detectors or use the extinguishers?
Maybe he pays someone to sit and watch his house?
August 27th, 2009 at 2:09 pmI sure hope AX told his neighbors NOT to call the fire department when he wasnt home and his house is on fire.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:09 pmSo when I had a electrical fire last year, I was able to conatin and extinguish it myself.
That’s great! But you realize that this is the equivalent of taking two aspirin for a headache, right?
What happens when your house gets the equivalent of influenza and is engulfed in flames? Wouldn’t it be irresponsible to rely on your fire extinguishers then? Pretty sure your neighbors would appreciate if you called the fire department at that point…
Just as I’d appreciate it if you got medical attention for your influenza.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:10 pmmisscoleopteramolly says:
My objection is that Inhofe claims he’s going to vote against a bill (that isn’t even finished yet) WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT’S IN IT. This is irresponsible.
And yes — if a Democrat made the same stupid statement, I’d say the same thing.
And yet we’re guaranteed by Inhofe’s words and actions he’ll be branded by some as a Great American.
Yeesh.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:12 pmDid you do the wiring yourself too? Generate your own electricity with a bamboo gilligan bicycle?
August 27th, 2009 at 2:12 pmMy daughter has been a Federal Employee for nearly 20 years and works at an Army hospital.
When she first started, she was given SIX DIFFERENT INSURANCE OPTIONS to choose from. She chose the one that best suited her needs both medically and financially.
Every bit of her medical care for these nearly 20 years, has been between HERSELF and HER DOCTOR. There has been ZERO government intervention in any of the care she has had.
A few times, the insurance company sent a questionnaire to either herself or her doctor requesting additional info about a procedure, but she has NEVER had a claim or service denied by anyone.
The only problem is the cost. Even though she is in a very large pool with hundreds of thousands of Federal employees, the insurer is a large company always looking at their profit margins, and the premiums continue to go up and up. She now pays roughly 7 times what she did when she first started almost 20 years ago, and she has not used her coverage to any great extent either.
If/when we have a bill passed with a Public Option, there must be controls in place to stop (or at least slow down) the escalating premiums for the insured.

I dont have to guess after reading your ignorant posts I KNOW that you are so stupid it is a shock you can feed yourself. My GOD you are a moron. You dont make any sense. You are stupid enough to think your incoherent idiocy is actually making a point. We get that higher brain function will always be beyond your wildest dreams so you just come here to regurgitate what you were TOLD to believe. That is sad enough. Since you dont know why you believe what you were told to believe you thrash around like the drowning moron you are taking STABS at making sense and missing by a parsec or so. I would explain things to you but what would be the point. You are too stupid to understand concepts like ICE. You keep making vague statements about how having a government option for healthcare equals control without explainging or even making an argument about how that is in any way a reasoned argument. And in case you were dumb enough to think it WAS an explanation just SAYING that if the gov provides your healthcare they control you was an explanation NO MORON it isnt. It is only a restatement of your premise which itself was mind bogglingly stupid. Get help. Seriously.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:30 pmSure is great to see more backward Senators in Oklahoma than in Texas.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:31 pmThose of you opposing national healthcare would your ancestors be the same ones that opposed public school, libraries, national highways? Civilizations ban together to provide progress for ALL not just the few. What are you back in Scrooge days, “are there no workhouses for the poor ? ”
Every Senator that votes against healthcare reform is voting against every taxpayer and should be treated to unemployment.
when the goverment controls your healthcare…they can control you.
Also does this mean a private insurance company controls your health care they not only control you as well but get rich in the process? Now there is a system a real independent minded person can sink their teeth into.

Can we dispense with the “government run health care” crap? If Sen. Inhofe, GOoPers in general, or our stupid trolls would read the relevant portions of the bills under consideration they would see that “government run health care” is a myth. They still can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that it’s about who gets paid how much and by whom. They are trying to reform health insurance, not health care.
And they seem utterly blind to the fact that the whole aim of health insurance reform is to lower the cost to most everyone by limiting the role of profit-taking middle-men.
Here’s a newsflash for the Reichwhiners: They’re trying to protect you and save you money!
August 27th, 2009 at 2:36 pmThose who think private healthcare is private, need to check their brains. Every insurance company can get your records back to birth through your SS#. And share those records with “their” contacts. You have NO privacy and yet you think you will lose something with national healthcare. Read the small print when you sign the enrollment document, you GIVE them permission to check back and forth.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:37 pmAnd it is not only your health issues, they know exactly where you lived and when. Wake up and smell the coffee.

It must be comforting to surround yourself with all your favorite stereotypes, kind of like a security blanket — of hate.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pmStubain – what are you afraid of ? You don’t like insurance that costs less and more plentiful. You enjoy two income families bankrupt through illness and have to accept welfare THAT YOU PAY ? Will there be cheats, probably. But when a program does more good than bad for more people it is called progress. There are plenty of backwoods you can go and be annyomous without that durn government interference, you need to check out of civlization.

Does he also believe that anybody who chooses insurance from a private insurer will be “controlled” by that insurer? Or is it just the government that’s the boogeyman?
I assume he will be one of the few senior citizens who won’t sign up for Medicare when he hits 65 — he wouldn’t want to be “controlled”, you know.
He sounds like he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. It’s a pity he doesn’t believe in health insurance — you can get treatment for that these days.

August 27th, 2009 at 2:52 pmHeath care, on the other hand, is not a Constitutionally-mandated right…despite the wishful thinking of liberal “trolls”.
And despite the wishful thinking of conservative ‘trolls’ the Constitution does mandate that Congress has the ability ” to levy and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States,”

You pick and we’ll discuss it. Or you can keep posting sound bites and thinking you are ‘winning’ the ‘argument.’
August 27th, 2009 at 3:14 pmnice kws
you copy that straight out of a glenn beck book.
you realize, don’t you, that it’s just a bunch of glossy sounding platitude.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:15 pmI (and others) were dropped by our insurance company when we developed illnesses related to work place toxic exposure. We had plenty of proof of illness from the dozens of doctors we saw through workers comp.
The insurance co.’s fought with millions of dollars against us, purchasing testimony, the judge, jury and possibly even our own attorney (yes it’s true).
We lost. Now the question is, when I’m able to afford insurance (which I can’t now), will I be able to get it or will I be denied due to pre-existing conditions – which the insurance co.’s “proved” I didn’t have?
August 27th, 2009 at 3:15 pmSo conservatives think ONLY conservative money will fund healthcare ? Sort of like only their money funded bush’s war I guess.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:16 pmSure it is. It is part of the general Welfare.
Now, crawl back into you hole and let us work on that.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:18 pmWow! kwsventures wants to be under CONTROL of the robber barons! Hang in there kid, they are working on it.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pmJust a thought, conservatives fight healthcare but oppose abortion. So, if you are poor and pregnant too bad ?
August 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pmkwsventures says:
Yeah morons like you are always impressed by ANY weasel words that can excuse your selfishness and tell us why feeding hungry children is bad for them
You cons are always looking for the holy grail of conservative philosophy why selfishness and greed are the noblest endeavor of humankind. Keep looking. I think it will be by the fountain of youth. You will recognize it because Godot will be there riding a unicorn
August 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pmBut you can invade a foreign country for no good reason and impose a system of governance alien to it, and if it costs 3 trillion dollars that’s ok.
Where was your courageous indignance in 2002 kws?
What turnip truck were you riding on from 2000 ’til 2008??
August 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pmI see kwsventures has utterly run out of ideas (that didn’t take long) and so is appropriating the ideas of othersin lieu of actually offering anything to the discussion.
At least you gotta give ‘im credit for not trying to pass them off as his own ideas, which is the usual conservative M. O.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:24 pmWonder how many “new” conservatives were once receivers of public help at one time. I call it welfare when taxpayers pay 2/3rds of the premiums for our wonderful Congresspeople.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:26 pmInhofe is judging the bill sight unseen, before it is even complete. You might even say he is pre-judging it, or that he is prejudiced against any health care bill, regardless of what is in it.
Inhofe is not doing the job he was hired to do. The voters need to fire him for his poor job performance.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pmDr Venture plagiarizes Reagan then cribs from the moron Glenn Beck and thinks he is contributing? Sad and pathetic are adjectives far too tame to describe his inadequacies

Well to be fair he NEVER had any ideas of his own. It does show some initiative that he got tired of waiting for Rush to give him NEW programming and went in search for other sources to tell him what to think
August 27th, 2009 at 3:29 pmWonder where Fred is today, sounded like he was from OK and shocked at Coburns cold comment to the lady with the ill husband. Fred should add Inhofe’s comment to his Coburn tape, let Oklahomans see what they voted in.

Yeah, that’s easy enought to do in your double wide axehandle but some of us have real houses. OH, and FYI, when you buy a real house in a nice neighborhood in a non-cracker state you can find wonderful public schools. Of course where you rednecks think science books should be replaced with bibles and don’t want those elitist teachers making over $30k a year so you won’t ever vote for a tax hike schools suck. BUT there are excellent public schools all over the country. Of course you reptards prefer to homeschool your kids so they’re never any more intelligent than you are. Hopefully they’ll never be smart enough to realize how you phu(ked up their society and planet and kick your a$$es.

And here I thought it was the Vandals and the Visigoths who wrecked ancient Rome. Silly me for reading history books instead of listening to failed Presidential candidates.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pmI’m wondering why doctors don’t tell more people to LOSE WEIGHT?
Doctors seem to ’suggest’ they lose weight; they don’t stress to [dummies] that on the whole, most of their medical problems will be solved simply by LOSING WEIGHT . .
Lose weight and your legs will feel better ’cause they won’t have to carry unnecessary FAT; lose weight and you’ll breathe better [no more 'allergy' pills]; lose weight and your blood pressure will be better [no more blood pressure pills]; lose weight and you’ll feel like a new person . .
August 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pmYeesh, I hope they’d tar and feather him first.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pmkwsventures, have you ever seen people who really do work hard for a living? Lots of people work extremely hard 6 or 7 days a week and don’t make much money. Why don’t you just STFU you arrogant pi$$ant.

Then the fool said:
August 27th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
howdy texaslady, I have been at a funeral today. My niece was in a tragic car wreck. Hundreds of people and lots of sad people…..
on inhofe, I have been making enough noise that I recieved a personal call from him trying to get me to “see things the way they are”
I invited him to meet with the groups that I have been working with and he has tenatively agreed but wants conditions.
The democrats in our area are working hard using common sense approaches to rebutting inhofe and coburn’s message and it seems we are getting a foot in the door in places that makes the local gop nervous. Cheer us on.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:51 pmkws – No one is talking about giving people free money although your bush guy did that for his buddies and didn’t hear one word from you conservatives.
We all work hard but want to be able to provide health insurance to our hard working employees and ourselves. Our health premiums out spend our payroll. We could hire more people but we CAN’T afford the insurance for them. And God help us if one gets a serious illness, we have had insurance terminate the whole company.
If more small companies could employ more employees who would all be paying taxes America WOULD become stronger. Hello !
August 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pmkwsventures are you a self made man?
August 27th, 2009 at 3:56 pmno one’s suggesting any of the crap that kws conjectures.
but that won’t stop him from pretending they are.
god knows why.

You plagiarize other people and dont make points. IT is so stupid to claim offering a public option is somehow taking control only someone as supremely stupid as you could take it seriously. YOU are a selfish nacisist and only care about money. You dont care how many Americans die. You post glib comments from other people as excuses WHY they should die. You are a disgusting piece of garbage and an ignorant punkass troll.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:58 pmFRED, Hooray for you, you are amazing ! Please let us know what “conditions” the man you all put into office has to have to speak with his taxpayers. Sorry, but Inhofe is such a donkey’s putoey.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:58 pmPlease accept my sympathy for your loss. Always enjoy your comments.
Fred,
Our condolences to you and your extended family.
Good luck with Inhofe, I can tell you’ve had your work cut out for you. Very impressive indeed.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pmThe swing to blue is bleeding over to Okla and it is becoming obvious. Look for changes(I hope) in these two states.
This seems to be a trend as many se states like N Carolina(i think) are also finding a shrinking gop status.
I am really beginning to think that the gop has finished themselves this time. Hoping….
August 27th, 2009 at 4:02 pmkwsventures says:
You really think Jefferson was talking about something like healthcare? The same argument could be made if someone were as stupid as you against highways and rural electrification and yet they benifitted all. I am far from selfish. YOU are clearly selfish. I HAVE healthcare. I dont need reform. I have gold plated healthcare. I want that for ALL my counrymen. YOU wouldnt give a starving baby a drink of water if it cost you OR a rich man a nickle. You are disgusting and an embarassment to all decent human beings much less Americans who do NOT worthip Ebenezer Scrooge
August 27th, 2009 at 4:02 pmFred, no one is self made everyone has had help along the way, but so many “new” conservatives forget the help they had. Can you tell I have a disappointing relative like that ?
August 27th, 2009 at 4:04 pmThe argument with the conservatives in our area(remember they are largly on SS)has been to discuss health reform in terms of medicare, etc.
Making sure they understand that it is a social program and discussing where they would be now without it and who is responsible for it’s existance and who wants to get rid of it.
Purchase is slow but once you get some of them talking it does seem to be gaining ground.
They all have families and their families are all facing the problems that exist with health care today.
They are all very upset with insurance companies as well they should be.
The one biggest selling point has been when we can get thier attention long enough to make them admit who has Americans best interest at heart and differenciate that with who is looking out for profits and don’t care if people suffer if it affects a bottom line.
onward ever upward.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:07 pmThanks to all for your thoughts. It was heartbreaking. She was only 20 years old and a presious person. She will be missed.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:09 pmExactly texaslady, just like joe, the self made man:
August 27th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Fred, explain to your friends that Medicare is being slowly pushed out and we need it back. The Advantage programs aren’t much of an advantage. And forget bush’s drug program, when I complained for a friend all the way to Austin was told I needed to speak to Congress. The whole cost of the drug is taken from the 2700, not just what is paid out of pocket and from insurance. So, no wonder 2700 is a drop in the bucket and you are on your own. How is it that a company gets OVER what he agreed to get from his product ? Our company only gets what we agreed to sell the product for.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:18 pmAnother bush give away. Talk about giving people something for nothing, what about that ksw ?
texaslady, agreed, and another thing that is surprising them is when they complain about the donut hole and we show them why it is there….inofes fingerprints are all over it, and coburn…..I love it when they get quite. You know it’s sinking in.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:26 pmThe scare tactics aimed at seniors may be the most vile part of the whole GOP obstructionist platform.
Personally, I’ve been on Medicare for a few years and I’m protected from the “doughnut hole” but I do understand how some can be overwhelmed by the paperwork. But, they’ve never tried to screw me out of payment and the help lines are actually helpful.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:37 pmI’m sorry for your loss, Fred.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:39 pmThanks Ralph.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:44 pmSay, how about you, kws – do you believe that you own your body and you can do whatever you want to it…?
If you own your body, that means I own MY body too – so, can I go get as many abortions as I want…?
Axie ran away, so I figured since you espouse the same crap–er, philosopy – you ought to be able to answer my question.

Don’t act stupid, you know why no increases, the bush economy tanked and no cost of living increase.
Why don’t you take one sentence and tell us just one thing that the gop has ever accomplished that was a postive for America.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:05 pmanything the gop says. you by association.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:07 pmTrue, stupid troll. Many Democratic candidates have done many slimy things and I would be the last to deny it. However, that hardly excuses a U.S. Senator announcing that he’s going to vote against a bill he has no intention of reading and is even so cowardly that he will intentionally remain ignorant of the actual content of said bill so that he can never be challenged with facts.
Inhofe is a moron of the worst kind. One who intentionally remains ignorant rather than dealing with the real world around him. It’s a black mark against our entire system that such a pompous fool has a vote in the Senate.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:09 pmThis man is an a**hole supreme. One wonders if he’s read the Constitution. Or the Bible (which Repubs love to invoke). Or any book that doesn’t have pictures in it. Or anything, actually. He sounds as though he’s illiterate, since he can’t say he ever read anything. This man has proven dozens of times lately that he is an ill-informed, dishonest, stupid jerk who cares absolutely nothing about the good of his constituents, let alone his country. Frankly, anyone who admits they haven’t read a document should be banned from voting on it. And there should be a test to be sure they have read it, just like the rest of us are tested all the time. High school, college, university, job interviews– we are tested on what we’ve read &/or what we know. Why are politicians (Repubs in particular) allowed to be totally ignorant about matters they vote on? Good Lord. Test these jerks, and if they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about, ban them from voting or commenting.

The story of Joe. I unfortunately know too many people like that.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pmthe gop doesn’t even know who it’s leader is. A radio thug or a token black man that can’t keep his story straight.
How can they do anything? You gonna sprinkle some fairy dust on it?
Oh, I love it when you make definative statements about a very unlikely future. YOu know, like, they have wmd’s and we know where they are.
Yep, you have credibility. Ha, I bet you don’t even have credit.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pmJimmy Inhofe to a school where:
If one reliably describes the real world in minute and precise detail? One flunks.
If one can deny enough reality to Believe a few chosen lies? One passes.
If one can successfully deny any and all objective evidence on every subject? One is promoted to teacher.

August 27th, 2009 at 5:41 pmkw claiming his uber productive business was self made reminds of a freind who’s parents put him through school.
Then gave him a down paymnent on his condo for a graduation present.
Then several years ago when the R.E. market was kicking butt he sold his condo for three times what he paid for it, moved into the most expensive area in town and married a woman who had a business – and he now works for her.
He’s a dyed in the wool republican (who I can’t talk to anymore) who thinks he’s a self made man too.

1. The democrats don’t use scare tactics against seniors. Never have never will.
2. The past few reublican presidents have either tried to eliminate SS and/or medicare, or they have at minimum voiced their opposition to these programs.

Oh no, not another liberal taking responsibility for his/her actions?
(no offense was meant by that comment to my fellow liberals, conservatives may want to follow dixie’s example – wishful thinking I know but…)
August 27th, 2009 at 7:56 pmAs I pointed out on another thread, I have lived in Japan, which has a public option. The government never interfered with my choice of doctors, dentists, or pharmacies. On the other hand, when I was in a car accident, I had to fight with the insurance company of the man who caused the accident to get the sort of treatment I wanted and to change hospitals. I suggest you teabaggers, first of all, look up the meaning of “option,” as it has nothing to do with control.

August 27th, 2009 at 10:23 pmMaybe he sees what a lot of folks in this country see. that this bill is about CONTROL. Not about health care.
The city in which I own a condo requires smoke detectors to be installed in all apartment houses, condos, etc. That sounds like government control to me.
BTW, how many families do you have?
Ax Thrower says:
August 27th, 2009 at 10:35 pmAs a matter of fact when I bought my house..I installed smoke detectors in every room along with fire extinguishers.
Because I can and know how to take responsibilty for my families(SIC) safety.
To unamusinghypocrite,
Of course, HEATH-care is not a Constitutionally-mandated right, because heaths do not even exist throughout the United States. The discussion here is about HEALTH care.
BTW, if you are still having trouble with the adverb “hypocritically,” try your computer’s spelling check, which will find nothing wrong with it, even if you do.

Of course, we all know the Republican Party’s position on health care reform. Status quo. Do nothing.
Some conservatives self-servingly declare that “health care is a privilege, not a right”, essentially stating that if a person cannot afford health care, then they are simply taking up oxygen and deserve to die anyway. And if businesses are in danger of going bankrupt due to rising health care benefit costs, then they should eliminate all benefits–give the newfound savings to the stockholders and executives, as God intended it to be.

August 28th, 2009 at 12:09 amPeep!
August 28th, 2009 at 1:14 amSo basically Inhofe admits that he’s refusing to do his job. Fine. Quit.
Oh wait, I forgot he still wants to collect his paycheck…

I think for myself. Not all of us are extreme.
The voices of rational conservatives are the only thing that’s really being drowned out by the screaming of the crazy ones. Maybe you should concentrate on getting your own house in order sometime soon.
August 28th, 2009 at 2:33 amROFL LMAO
August 28th, 2009 at 10:46 amIt appears that Inhofe was left behind in school because the only VALID reason for him NOT reading this very important piece of legislation would be because he can not read.
Typical, dumba##, semi-literate (I’m being kind here), greedy, corporate backed NRA goon.
