Barney Frank is having a townhall meeting. Live video from CNN.
Oh brother! He gets booed and it’s Bush’s fault? Wow... Bush didn’t increase the deficit by $181B in July alone.
I haven’t been able to locate a video of this, anyone else?
he got an earful
????
wat?
thats what the headline said
Between Bawney Fwank’s body language and Sheila Jackson Lee’s obvious dissing of a constituent by being busy on her cell phone you’d think there would be enough proof of just how little these people really care about the average American.
Ha!
Mark Levin carried some of this on his show tonight.
Sounded to me like Bwaney Fwank caught an earfull from
some VERY unhappy constituents.
At first, he was trying to bully them into shutting
up, and I kept recalling his obnoxious 2 minutes of
fame in the House as “acting” House Speaker:
“The Gentlemen WILL SUSPEND! The Gentlemen WILL SUSPEND!”
Ad nauseum!
But they wore him down and he had to listen!
Gotta love it!!!
LOL!!
That Banking Queen video is a CLASSIC, imho!!

lets assume thats true. the public option will be non profit. that means private option will have to lower prices to compete. private will be more efficient,but will they be efficient enough to bother to stay in the business?
“thereafter break even” is interesting. how will people not contributing to the pot,and we know without doubt many will be in the system paying nothing,pay their share? either the people paying into the public option will pay more or new taxes raised to fund the public option (like social security which the pols use as a piggy bank. If the goal is to keep insurance costs down then it must be the latter since the first one would raise costs.
Mark Levin’s commentary on this was priceless
Go to freedom’s lighthouse.It’s on the front page.
Last prostate exam Barney had, the doctor found an old Timex...and it was still running!
It’s time our side altered tactics a little. At every townhall event, somebody should come to the aid of the congressperson and chastise the audience as being too stupid to know what’s good for them. Only the elected representatives have the knowledge and experience to properly spend your money on responsible things. Stop being stingy with money and take care of everybody. By pushing words into the congress critters’ mouths the reps will be forced to defend the freedom position and argue against their own unstated thinking.
I loved his answer to the woman who said healthcare reform was a “nazi” plan. Never thought I would say this. Good for him!
