   Too bad Marsha lied about mammograms and lost all credibility…

   What an arrogant person Blackburn is … geesum. Talking over DW-S every time; and George S. let it happen. Of course, with a panel of Coburn (GOP), Nelson (Blue Dog) and Marsha (GOP), DW-S didn’t have a chance in Hades of being heard anyway. Mark this video for an example the next time some rwm (right-wing moron) claims George is ‘librul.’

   Where’s Dan’l Webster when you need him?

   He was there, Marsha wouldn’t let him speak

   Mikey,

   Unlike the other Congressman, Marsha had read the bill. That helps in discussing it, no?

   No, it doesn’t - all she did was wave her arrogance around like a flag. She was rude, and talked over DW-S because she didn’t want DW-S to relate her own personal experiences with breast cancer and her own knowledge of the bill.

   Mikey,

   She was not rude. And she was very specific. If she were wrong, ABC would have called her on it.

   LOL … you believe that? She talked all over DW-S … wouldn’t let her get a word in edgewise. Coburn and Nelson got plenty of extended time, but Blackburn wouldn’t let Schultz talk . As for specifics, um - no. She went on and on about something that’s in ‘the bill’ and never once acknowledged it probably ‘won’t’ be in the ‘actual’ bill, as DW-S pointed out. There.is.no.bill. Not yet. And instead of vowing to change that part of it, she preferred instead to keep going on and on and on … as for ABC, they got the red meat they wanted. That’s all. Don’t care about substance. She went on about ‘bureaucrats between the doctor and you’ and DW-S had to talk through Marsha to make the point there’s ALREADY a bureaucrat in between. She filibustered, and it was rude. Heck, even George had to cut her off to get out of the segment!

   Mikey,

   DW-S didn’t have her facts. She was just trying to avoid denying the truth. Even Stephanopolis didn’t seem impressed with her.

   So there is ‘no bill.’ Then how do we get all those rosy projections of benefits from reform?

   But I tell you what, give me a line item in the bill that sends me $1 million and I will dress up like Mary Landreiu and back the bill. I don’t need the whole $300 million. I’m easy but not cheap.

    If we had more representatives like Blackburn we wouldn’t be in the deep do-do we are in now.

    The “Blue Dogs” are still dogs when Pelosi and Reid yank on their leasches they heel.

    With “representatives” like Cooper and Gordon we don’t need enemies.

    Mikey, there is no bill, really, really? What passed the House? What passed out of Committee in the Senate? The “there is no bill” crap won’t work anymore. You must be reading talking points from July, its November buddy. Get up to speed before you comment.

    There are 2 bill 1 is on the floor of the senate the other has passed the house.

    1 is up for debate.

    2. the house bill is up for ratification by the senate.

    Those that say there is no bill.

    need to listen to school house rock.

    Boy: Woof! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?

    I’m just a bill.
    Yes, I’m only a bill.
    And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.
    Well, it’s a long, long journey
    To the capital city.
    It’s a long, long wait
    While I’m sitting in committee,
    But I know I’ll be a law someday
    At least I hope and pray that I will,
    But today I am still just a bill.

    Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

    Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn’t even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, “You’re right, there oughta be a law.” Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I’ll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

    I’m just a bill
    Yes I’m only a bill,
    And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
    Well, now I’m stuck in committee
    And I’ll sit here and wait
    While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate
    Whether they should let me be a law.
    How I hope and pray that they will,
    But today I am still just a bill.

    Boy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

    Bill: Yeah, I’m one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.

    Boy: Die?

    Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I’m gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.

    Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?

    Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.

    Boy: Oh no!

    Bill: Oh yes!

    I’m just a bill
    Yes, I’m only a bill
    And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
    Well, then I’m off to the White House
    Where I’ll wait in a line
    With a lot of other bills
    For the president to sign
    And if he signs me, then I’ll be a law.
    How I hope and pray that he will,
    But today I am still just a bill.

    Boy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?

    Bill: Yes, that’s called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you’re so old…

    Boy: By that time it’s very unlikely that you’ll become a law. It’s not easy to become a law, is it?

    Bill: No!

    But how I hope and I pray that I will,
    But today I am still just a bill.

    Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you’re a law!

    Bill: Oh yes!!!

    It was a bill once it was proposed to congress by the committee.
