      Conservatives just hate the entire thing. Why? Because Democrats wrote it. It's really that simple.

        Conservatives hate things that just aren't so- the bill will "add to unemployment," "raise taxes," "increase the deficit," etc. etc. Liberals hate things that are so- the bill won't cover enough people, it won't control costs, it won't prevent companies from pricing people with pre-existing conditions out of the market, it's a big giveaway to the industry.

          Bingo #2, JJamele- the right wing is slipping further away from reality all the time, and seem to be completely hysterical mostly about things that exist only between their ears.

          If you saw the link here to the survey asking WorldNutDaily readers what they would like to give Obama for Xmas, it made this pretty clear. 90% of the responses were based completely on fabrications of the right wing media.

      OFF TOPIC
      How come none of the jerks on Faux News mentioned they were at the White House Christmas party last week? President Obama was just on the Tom Joyner radio show and Joyner mentioned how O'Reilly & Co had scowls on their faces as they goobled down all the WH food. LOL Obama just laughed said yeah and they had their pics taken with him

        Now that is funny. I'd love to see those pictures. Insult him on the air, get face to face with him, and they cease to have a spine. Not surprising.

        It's not like they ever let a liberal on their show to tell them in their own words what liberals think...

          They have to. They're not very good at arguing against what liberals really believe, so they need to handicap themselves by making stuff up. The Straw Man is Sacred, as Solon once said.

          These Fox idiots are no more secure in their ideology than the wingnut posters here who preface their comments by telling the libruls that they want to take money from the hard-working wingnuts, that they love communism, and they want the government to take care of every aspect of their lives.

          They do a lot better debating their own stupid mythology than they do dealing with reality.

      Actually, you Fox morons, liberals are "dissatisfied" with it - they don't "hate" it. But don't let semantics get in the way of a cute narrative to portray the bill as being a Frankensteins monster running amok in the village. Your dentally-challenged trailerhousewife audience can sit in their recliners behind a tv tray eating their breakfast and sipping their beers and just shake their hair-rollered heads at how the democrats will push anything just because they hate real Americans.

        Why do you feel the need to resort to sweeping, fox like generalizations and insults, to describe people who disagree with you. if you have a strong argument then present it.theres nothing you could say about fox news that would be unjustified, but why trash lower income Americans to make your point. thats Limbaugh tactics

      These people are masters at this game. They constantly dictate the discussion an can easily argue that they never lie. They just define what the truth is according to what's going on their heads. What were those lists based on? Who is upset that the bill does not pay for abortion? They just listed things with an us vs. them spin. No poll they just pulled the stuff out of the sky. And the way they say, "Get this!" That just tells you some rubbish is about to flow out of their mouths.

        I haven't heard many Dems making a big deal out of this, it's pretty much conceded. I don't mind repeating that this demand by the Republicans is the only blatantly unconstitutional element of this bill they keep calling unconstitutional.

      Wow, by my count there are at least 3 completely false statements out of 10, so by Fox News percentages... That's like 7 utterly false statements! (I'm going to ignore the only highly inaccurate and misleading and focus on the completely disproven)
      1) Insurance for illegal aliens - How many times do we have to say this isn't true? I think I'm gonna call these idiots "Illegalers" and put Dobbs at the head of that group.
      2) Penalties for not buying insurance (and they filled in with the word "jail" later) - Possible financial or other penalties, but jail - not so much.
      3) Doesn't cover abortion - Are there liberal groups agitating for that? Surely if there were, Fox would have that running 24/7. The closest they could get was that Planned Parenthood bash with quotes so cropped you have no idea what's really going on.

      Just where in the constitution can the government force you to buy anything just to live? I know that "living breathing" document libs hate so much doesn't have that anywhere in it.

      Fox Snooze does not agree with any left-wing terminology. If they do it will make my jaw drop!

      Fox should lighten up. The Senate health care bill did do something conservatives like: It protected the interests of the health insurance and drug companies.
