Top 10 Ridiculous Democrat Quotes on Health Care
Human Events top 10 ridiculous health care quotes by Democrats:
1. “I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.” -- President Obama at an August 6 at a rally in Virginia
2. “They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.” -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an August 5 interview

4. “These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views -- but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.” -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), writing in USA Today, August 10
5. “The last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it.

9. “Republicans and their allied groups -- desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill -- are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right-wing extremists funded by K Street lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of healthcare in America taking place in congressional districts across the country.” -- Democratic National Committee communications director Brad Woodhouse
10 (tie). “These are nothing more than destructive efforts to interrupt a debate that we should have, and are having. They are doing this because they don’t have any better ideas … It’s really simple: They‘re taking their cues from talk-show hosts, Internet rumor-mongerers and insurance rackets.” -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.)
“Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.” -- Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), responding to a town hall participant.
Wild Thing's comment.......
If one carefully considers the significance of these remarks, one would see that there is no compromise with them. What you have here is the stuff civil wars are made of.
This is for pure insanity.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” -- Rep. John Conyers (Mich.) at the National Press Club, July 24
I am surprised this idiot has the intelligence to speak!!!!
At the Glassboro NJ meeting, Rep Rob Andrews repeatedly told audience members who opposed the bill and who read to him, directly from the bill, “well, that’s not my interpretation.”
5. “The last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble.” — Rep. John Dingell (Mich.), on MSNBC
Earth to Dingell, the KKK and Jim Crow laws were created by the Democrats. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed because of votes from Republicans. Robert Byrd (D-WV,KKK member) filibustered against it. Al Gore Sr (D-Tenn) and William Fullbright (D-Ark, Billy Clinton’s mentor) fought vehemently against it.
“I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I’m doing is going to help them.”- Eric Massa, D-NY
Kamikaze politicians (particularly ones who don’t know or care that what they are saying is self-contradictory) are dangerous.

Democrats got to know they have crossed the line. How far will they go to keep their power. My question, will there even be another election in 2010. At the rate we are going, Health care, H1N1, Cap and Trade, we are racing to the finish line of Socialism.

Yeah, it's pretty astounding when you spell it all out together.
Watch for this giant spin. "You can keep your current plan." Okay, but health policy plans change regularly, I know mine sends me changes all the time, mostly very minor legalezey things. But that could be construed as "not your current plan" anymore. No private insurance plan can compete against a government plan that can price itself anyway it wants long enough to eliminate the competition. Why aren't insurance companies really hollering about this? Because they probably are getting promises to be a part of the government plan.
But Obama will keep saying it won't be manditory, you can keep your current plan.

It's not that the firing line is ready on the right and ready on the left, it's that the enemy is on the right and the enemy is on the left. The problem is they can't understand the meaning of either of the two letters in the word NO!!!
Buy that Ammo silent majority!!!
