True... True...

Aren't you the guy who chides others for their ability (or lack thereof) to comprehend what they read? I posted a thread title relating to the article I linked to in the first post. The article points out the fact that several highly inaccurate claims have been made regarding H1N1 and those claims have been linked to negative opinions concerning the healthcare proposals on the table. I just shortened it to BS. None of that tells you anything about my opinion.

Really Tom? When did I post my opinion on any of this? I've linked to some articles from a non-partisan web-site and used those articles to prod some of the more rabidly partisan sheep. But I don't recall stating my personal opinion at any point. But you're the self proclaimed smartest poster on this web-site (a dubious honor if there ever was one) so why don't you tell me what my opinion is (or should be).

Yeah, I know. But the partisan types who really need to answer this question seem to have disappeared.

So in your mind it's acceptable because that's the way it's always been and they're on the side you favor? And this makes it acceptable for the other side also, I presume?

The Winner! And New Champion! [at least until I can stop laughing long enough to think of something...]

Crappy, but funny as hell...

And I take it that you have no answer to the question. Why (In your mind) is it acceptable?

A Joint Committee hammers out a compromise between the two bills, which is then sent to the POTUS for his Signature.

Easy Money...

Fixed that for ya...

Bastard, you just took all the fun out of this... Friggin' Dependants...

You're going to be waiting a long time. I never gave any opinion, positive or negative about the issue. No, the point I'm making is simply that if the proposed health care legislation all the right wing loonies are so up in arms over is anywhere near as bad as what is being claimed on this board then why isn't the plain and simple truth about it good enough to debunk it with? Why does the opposition party feel the need to exagerate, falsify, distort, bend, fold, and mutilate the truth in their efforts to discredit the proposals in the court of public opinion? Most of you guys will jump thru hoops to prove that having an R, L, or I appended to your name makes you a better person than anyone with a D, so forget the "They do it too" arguments. And forget attacking me, your opinion of me has about the same relevance to the question as an apple does to the dark side of the moon. What in your eyes makes those tactics acceptable?

Why shouldn't salaried people get the same benefits?

Really Tom? Are you talking about this layer?

http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf Thanks, Magoo! And H.R.3200 Read Away...

As usual Magoo, you either completely miss the point, or you reply with weak partisan and easily disprovable arguments. If this is true, why do you need to quote a partisan source? Maybe so that the discussions could be held without town hall style “Spontaneous” protests constantly interrupting the process? Define behind closed doors for me please. Which details of the meetings haven't been released to the public? They weren't maybe you should check this out... First provide the links to the statements about bringing down skyrocketing premiums and the CBO statement you're misquoting. This might help. Can you provide a non partisan link to the actions you claim happened here? When was 500 Billion cut out of Medicaid? When will the “Doc Fix” bill come up for a vote? How did all this happen without AARP Rioting? What drugs are you on? (When you figure out the difference between a one year, two year, and ten year projection, I'll explain the budget neutral part.) Good point, except for the fact that, that isn't what the CBO said. Maybe you should check this out... Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it Magoo? The article I cited deals with the RNC's criticism of the Health Care Proposal and clearly states that it is the RNC which is [apparently deliberately] blurring the lines between the different bills and provisions which have been discussed but aren't [currently] included in any version of the bills. And since my purpose in posting today is to prod right wing partisan hacks such as yourself, what good would pointing out the other side's hypocrisy do? Maybe because both are misrepresentations of what was actually said? And that is what the article talks about?

How's this for a new Political Party?

Umm... Okay, if you say so... But maybe you should check this out...

Using H1N1 to sway the health care debate.

26 lies about H.R. 3200... Many of which have been repeated in this thread.

You obviously didn't read far enough down in the article I linked...
