      I wonder how it can be a "talking point" since neither Bachmann nor Rosen seems to know the meaning of the word "Socialism."

        Everyone knows what socialism is. Just think of a boogeyman that you can use to scare people. The boogeyman does whatever your tall tales say it does. That's socialism.

        Thus ends my horrible journey into the mind of a reich wing nut job. I need a drink.

        I thought that "talking point" referred to Neocon's heads....

        Are we having fun yet?

      Well...if the Wall Street Journal says this is the worst bill ever, then that settles it, huh? I mean, if you can't trust a Rupert Murdoch news operation, whom can you trust, right?

        Where in the hell did this disengenous woman come from? I watched this faux interview in complete amazement. Touting the Wall Street Journal as fact. How can this fellow Rosen refer to himself as a responsible journalist? Allowing her to advance such out right lies! How shameful!

      She is idiotic. "Don't take it from us; take it from the WSJ. Mainstream journalists don't like it."

      So if the NY Times calls this the best bill ever, she'll be right back on TV saying it's a great bill?

      I believe this segment is implying that the Wall Street Journal has ended the debate over healthcare.
      Yes, that publication has no bias whatsoever.

      Remember, these are Republic(an)s we are talking about. By now we should all know that whatever Republics say, they are actually doing the opposite. Hate gays then get caught soliciting gay sex in a public restroom. Claim moral superiority, then leave the country for a tryst with a hot Latina. Say there are WMD when you know full well there aren't any. Say you are protecting the country and support the troops then out a CIA operative, closing a long-term intelligence operation and endangering American service people's lives. The list goes on and on, ad nauseum. So, the more they shout "socialist" or "communist" or "tyrant" or "trampling our rights" or "budget-busting", they are probably actually guilty of being or doing all of those things themselves. How short does your memory have to be to forget the off-the-books accounting for war and perscription drugs, etc? Add tax breaks for the elite. Talk about budget-busting. I don't know whether to laugh at Bachman or send her to prison for treason for what she is doing.
