Kay Bailey Hutchison: Pelosi throws gauntlet on Public Option and puts pressure on Obama
KBH is implying that Pelosi owns Obama :mad:

Andrea Mitchell stopped KBH's horseshit by saying that "government option is not government take-over" and KBH said: "It is Andrea"

KBH is such a whore for the insurance companies. She is opposing taxes on insurance companies and is proposing a "tax credit" (which is bullshit") as her insurance reform. I hope that this loser loses the Governor race in Texas, she is such a weasel. :puke:

5. That sealed the deal on her merits in that debate. Huge fail. I did like that AM asked her, "Is
nothing better than Obama's plan?" to which she gave some half-ass reply. She's a stooge to corporate money.

4. who cares what KBH thinks
she's only speaking to her choir; she sure as hell doesn't care what we think.

We need to be clear: the public option is not for people who already have insurance. If the problem is that employers will start to dump policies, then fix THAT problem.

If the problem is that insurance companies won't be able to compete, then the insurance companies need to FIX THAT PROBLEM - lower their premiums and become competitive.

This is the core problem with conservatives and republicans: if there is any problem they can identify, the cure is to do nothing at all, instead of addressing the problem.

7. I think we should privatize Social Security with savings plans and be forced to buy HSA for health.
Just kidding, but that's what she and her ilk want.

We should be forced to invest in the market for our retirement.

And we should be forced to open Health Savings Accounts with banks.

Yeah, right.

8. Oh Jesus
Obama Is the most popular politican In America.Even RAS has him at 50 percent today.Pelosi doesn't
own Obama.And after tonight If a stron push for a public opotion happens expect the bleeding In
approval from Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents to stop.

She needs to go back to Texas.One of these days someone should mention to Republicans Social Security,
Medicare,and Medicaid are Government programs.

The Republican solution to Health care Is more Tax breaks for Big Business and keeping the average
person from suing Hospitals,Doctors,and the Insurance and Drug Companies.
