my original point was that odonnell lied when he said that obama never said he was for single payer, universal health care. the youtube video proves my point. as usual, people choose to divert attention to the messenger, not the message.

I think you mean she refused to answer his question about ending social security and medicare since according to her she does not want socialism in this country.
He specifically asked her if her parents would send their medicare and social security checks back to the government and she refused to answer. She's a moron deal with it and stop trying to prop this dingle berry up.
She was more like a sacraficial lamb...She printed out the questions posted for her to ask and asked them with contrived angst but as was seen in the interview, there wasn't much else swirling around in that noodle on top of her neck.
I thought it was interesting that she was yelling about wanting to "return to the Constitution", but then said she had never been interested in politics in the past. I think she even said she couldn't remember who she voted for in 2000.
I don't think it's up on the internet yet, but Lawerence O'donnell interviewed that totally misinformed woman at one of the TH that said "you have awakened a sleeping giant". We've all seen the clip. Well when he interviewed her, she just had no clue about anything. It was very pathetic and I sort of felt sorry for her. The point is, get your facts straight before shouting your talking points at a town hall meeting. It very much bothers me when stupid people start shouting nonsense. All it is is noise.
One other thing about exercising their freedom of speech, correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember many people getting arrested at rallies against the war. Has anyone been arrested for their terroristic remarks, slogans, bullying behavior? I'm embarrassed to watch these lunatics. And quite honestly, I think we should throw a few of them in Gitmo for acting like a bunch of hooligans.
Saw it.
Noted that she is the type of person used by every regime from Mussolini to Pinochet to justify authoritarianism.
Noted her basic ignorance, bovine indifference to war, and ability to lie to herself without even noticing.
Far scarier than anything Hollywood has ever ginned up.

Yea, you picked the wrong interview to post that response. You should have played the video. Yes, Obama in 2003 said he was in favor of a single payer health system, but since he's taken office or Run for President he has not said anything remotely close to it. I think that was O'Donnell's point.
Look, i actually think they are going to eventually get us to a single payer health system. It may not happen in the first 10-20 years of the new program, but it is bound to happen, if the US government is able to secure a large number of services for the cheapest premiums etc. Most people are bound to end up using the service.
However, i suspect, the government thinks, that the medical insurance industry, will adjust to the new competition and lower their premiums and extend their services if they would like to retain customers.
Capitalism is about making a profit and that is why insurance companies operate the way they currently do. They have an obligation to shareholders, so if i'm a shareholder and my company does not cover your life threatening disease or whatever, because it will end up costing the company significantly more then you put in, i do not blame them for sealing your death ticket. However, do not complain about the system and demand government intervention if that is not really what you want.
If you like the current system, the government is giving you the option, but if i was the government I'd say OK fine keep you insurance and you'll never be given the opportunity to opt into the government plan should your insurance company drop certain things they do not want to cover. Since i'm a healthy younger tax payer i'll be subsidizing you sickly individuals my advice is to stop eating so many dam cheeseburgers from MacDonald, stop smoking cigareets, and drinking on a such a regular basis.

I saw the interveiw! OMG! I felt sorry for that woman too. She didn't even know the BASICS, and at that TH meeting, all those people were cheering for her.......
People like this woman just demonstrate how easy it is for the sophisticated men and women, who are trying to "protect" the insurance industry and keep them rolling in big $$$, to get the uninformed to do their bidding at the TH meetings!

I'd be willing to bet she has NEVER READ the Constitution.
She was a former democrat wonder what caused her to shift her policies (she changed parties this year after Obama was elected..big surprise). She voted for Bill Clinton another president that favored universal health care. I'm starting to feel sorry for her. NOT!
She should be ashamed of herself and her husband should be as well, since he put this dingle-berry up to it. Now, she is embarrassing herself every where she goes.
Hannity even tried to save the dumbo, by asking her light weight questions.

"...Hannity even tried to save the dumbo, by asking her light weight questions... "
you mean light weight questions like the one from the little girl (that really WAS planted) in obama's town hall meeting?
