Ms. Carlson will you ever figure out why you are so Hated?
Keep wearing the "Shortest Possible Skirts" to justfy your Position.
You are a true "Fox News Loyalist" in that old Right-Wing Tradition.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Dont get me wrong I agree what you said about her role at Fox, I just dont see any reason to attack her if she isnt in that particular clip
"IT'S IN THE BILL! IT'S INDISPUTABLE!!!!!"
Say, where did that squirrel nut go anyway?...
Hey dude, wassup!?
Not much. Boss just switched us over to the government Health Care Option.
Whoa!!!! You got Page 16ed?!?!
IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY! AIIIEEEEE!
"ACORN'S COMING!!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Well... as long as it's designed by the Democrats and Liberals with the intention of giving me the best possible care, as opposed to those cheapskate COnservatives and Republicans who only want to save cost... FORCE ME IN.
The design of the current system that I'm FORCED into (and yes, I am FORCED - when you have no feasible alternatives that's being FORCED) sucks. My out of pocket expenses are large, my kids autsim treatment isn't covered at all, and I can be dropped any time, or end up paying five times as much if I lose my job. (A real possibility in the Auto industry.)
So please: Tell me about this ""government designed plan." Because form what I hear, the "design" is a hellova lit better than the one I'm currently being "forced" to "accept."
Republicans are "angry", "mad", and "fearful" at these TownHall Meetings and MSM did "NOT" see this coming? Uh, oh. Of course these Republicans are "angry", "mad", and "fearful" but it was brought on by their "OWN" Republican Politicians, FoxNews Channel, and Right-winged Radio Hosts while President Obama and the Democrats worked hard in "fixing" America's problems. Hmmm. LOL.
Blondie, go talk to McCaskill. She'll explain to you that you are NOT holding THE actual bill. Sen. Mac made the screamers look foolish when they questioned her about abortion in the bill. She said it wasn't in the bill. They screamed, "it is right here, you are lying", suprise, suprise when she explained that she only read and can only vote on the Senate bill and this is a House bill....
And to quote Howie Cosell..."Down goes the Screamers, Down goes the Screamers". Apaarently, one of the handlers was too stupid to inform the big mouths.
Blondie, here is a hint. Look around at the younger blonde babes at Fox..you do not have a prayer of getting a job. Even the casting couch booking agent would turn you away. (I didn't say that. It is rude and crude, sort of like Blondie but with more honesty.)
Page 16 simply defines what "Grandfather" insurers are, basically defining those who have insurance prior to the enactment of the bill.
If you continue to read past page 16, there is nothing about what this crazy person says. This is so irritating... she should be called upon her lies!
Here is Page 16 of HR3200

Here is the title of page 16: "PROTECTING THE CHOICE TO KEEP CURRENT COVERAGE." And it goes on to define and describe the protections available for current policy holders. These things are a matter of public record. It only took a few minutes to find the bill. The House website is pretty user friendly, never let a Conservative or anyone else try and pull that kind of garbage when you can look for it yourself. If you have never been to the House website, just google the U.S. House of Representatives. There is all sorts of information available to you. I found out when my Congressman was holding his town hall by searching by Zip Code! Liars only lie when they know they aren't going to be caught. Catch them with their pants down, it is remarkably easy sometimes.
