At 4:00PM today, Moveon.org will rally outside LV Congressman Charlie Dent’s Bethlehem office to criticize his NO vote on Pelosi care, which squeaked through the U.S. House on Saturday. They are outraged, outraged I tell you.“Representative Dent sided with the insurance industry and against Pennsylvania families when he voted against health care reform with a public option during a recent House vote, which would help reduce costs and expand access to health care for millions of Americans,” said Moveon organizer Steve Nathan.
Actually, Pelosi Care is a dream come true for Big Insurance, as I explain below, but why let little things like facts get in the way?
No word on whether Congressional candidate John Callahan will participate in this protest. He might be getting a haircut.
Good.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Dent protest, MoveOn will bark at the moon.
ReplyDeleteI think MoveOn's time has come and gone.
When you say "Move on" will rally...it's local residents who belong to Move On. Move On organizes the rally and then emails its members who belong and invite them to participate...your article sounds like we are bussing people in from out of state. That's what REpublicans do.
ReplyDeleteWas anyone teabagging at the rally?
ReplyDeleteJust take a look at the bilge in a MoveOn rally. You're talking Teabagger Central. The original teabagging - not the contrived, protest kind.
ReplyDeleteMoveOn whiners are still wetting their pants about the 2000 election. Boogeyman Bush haunts their dreams every night. They are irrelevant except in their own minds.
ReplyDeleteBoogeyman Bush haunts their dreams every night.
ReplyDeleteI think Bush continues to haunt every American given the state of the economy and world affairs. But he was a great Republican, wasn't he?
great. thanks for the heads up. i should be able to make it.
ReplyDelete12:50 ANON
ReplyDeleteBringing people in from out of state is the ACORN way of doing business.
So stop kidding yourself, please.
Still blaming Bush I see.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Dems are dropping like a rock.
Enjoy your power while you can...

I had heard on the radio the other day China's Stimulus plan (20% smaller to serve 200% more people) is doing so well, their economy is seeing bubbles in some sectors. Americans should be so lucky.
The DEMOCRAT designed Stimulus Bill has only created a bubble in the federal debt. Many supporters of our current government dislike mentioning the Federal Reserve is also flooding the world with cheap money and many countries are starting to see the dollar as radioactive. We got change alright, America has gone from bad to worse.
.
Our welfare pimpin' President assures us the healthcare "reform" bill will save us $50 billion (like that won't get spent on pork projects). I am looking forward to his we're so sorry, don't blame me Asia tour.
The thing about these "professional" protestors, they are just that. I had a guy I worked with who's sister spent her entire life as a "professional protestor. She worked out of Washington. Sometimes for PETA. The Greenpeace. Many others.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe me? Lookie Here
I have no problem with spontaneous "grassroots. But neither the "Tea Party" nor "MoveOn" carry much water in my eyes. Both are heavily funded by special interests.
Organizers at the top are paid big buck$. Kind of taints both their causes doesn't it?
Still blaming Bush I see.
ReplyDeleteStill? History will blame Bush. Asleep at the switch on terrorism and the economy. Left office with an utter disaster on the successor's hands. You must be proud.
Looking To Escape - m yeah. Since all of our manufacturing jobs are now IN China, it makes sense that their stimulus would be more successful than ours. We have no base left TO stimulate. Thanks again, free-traders!
ReplyDeleteI didn't say I was proud of Bush.
ReplyDeleteI said I see you are still blaming Bush.

13 dead.
How many wounded?
The USA is the only country in the world that makes a profitable business out of death and sickness yet christen ourselves the moral compass for the world.

His "shout out" reaction was just amazing (and telling).

Does this guy have any real feelings?.

ReplyDeleteRead the book "The China Price" by Alexandra Harney.
.
A western liberal goes to China to report on the horrible slave like condition of the workers there.
.
What she found was a very dedicated nation intending to lift itself out of poverty and trying to enjoy the trappings of wealth. If long hours and low wages are what it takes, they're ready to do it.
.
The Chinese are only doing what Americans used to do, that is to create wealth instead of complaining about it. It really gives you a sense of how tired America has become as a nation.
Anon 9:09- guess that Congress bears no responsibility for the recession- right?! The Dems have controlled Congress since 2004 and are equally responsible for oversight of the financial markets. They mucked them up by forcing banks to loan money to people who couldn't pay it back. Another misguided, liberal "feel good" initiative that led to the collapse of our financial system and taxpayer bailouts. And Obama's solution is to throw more good money after bad. His phony charisma has morphed into a smug, arrogant and condescending attitude towards the American taxpayer. Time for another photo-op trip to somewhere he doesn't need to be!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the authorities knew all about this Nadal clown and did nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's this I hear about a power-point presentation?
Whose is responsible for this terrorist attack at Fort Hood?
Let me guess --- BUSH

ReplyDeleteOf course I have feelings.
For the 13 unarmed soldiers (including a PREGNANT WOMAN) ruthlessly gunned down by a MURDERING MUSLIM TERRORIST.
Obviously, you sympathize with the poor Army major as well as radical Muslims willing to KILL, KILL, KILL.
The Major has been charged with pre-meditated murder now and faces the death penalty.
Why is it the only time I hear of the Religion of Peace it is because one of their members is :
A - Flying a plane into buildings with over 3,000 people
B - Walking into a Disco in Israel and detonating a suicide bomb?
C - A US Army Major who whips out his guns, yells "ALLAH AKBAR" and starts shooting
?????????
Looking to Escape,
ReplyDeleteTalk to me about Arkansas recruiting station shooting incident.
How many terror plots broken up so far this year - five or six?
I find you very telling and amazing, as well.

I have that effect on people.

My comments were in regard to Obama's reponse to 13 people (plus numerable inuries). It appears Ft Hood was not on top of his list of issues to address.
.
Don't get me wrong, General Casey wasn't going to be topped. Casey was more worried about diversity and pretty much treated the incident like it was just a bad day in da Hood. You know, lose a few soldiers here or there, just a typical day in the military.
.
Getting back to the health care issue, Speakerette Of The House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) did it again, calling Health Reform (so called) a gift to the American people. A gift, get that. Like she's paying for it.
.
Something is seriously wrong with these people.
I hope they spit on Dent. He's a hypocrite just like all those Republican Congressmen and Senators on Medicare who are also against healthcare. When Dent and the rest start buying private heathcare (if they can get it) instead of govt taxpayer based healthcare that doesnt drop or discriminate for pre-existing conditions, I'll respect Dent again.
ReplyDeleteJohn Callahan joins health care rally outside Charlie Dent's office in Bethlehem.
ReplyDelete"If we don't act, things are going to get worse," he said. "It's something that Congressman Dent just doesn't get." ...Callahan declined to say if he would have voted for the House bill..
Finally Callahan has firmly stated.. aaaahh... what??? I'm confused.
This is hilarious. Based on what he stated, I could argue that he and Dent are on the same page.
ReplyDeleteIf the Republicans had offered to help the RIGHT plan would be offered. This is a fall back plan which I agree is not what most wanted.
ReplyDeleteBut as one Republican put it honestly for all of them, "There is no Healthcare Bill Republicans will support".
I give him the most credit for his honesty.
Thank you Charlie for voting NO!! The USA can not and should not fund this unconstitutional federalization of our entire Health Care System! God Bless and God Speed the USA and the patriots like Rep. Dent working to save us from the Marxists now running this country. Signed. Local, State and Federal Taxpayer from Bethlehem, PA
ReplyDeleteHey Shawn, do you really pay taxes and live in Bethlehem?
ReplyDeleteCallahan proves again how stupid he is! If he wins we are all screwed.
ReplyDeleteI took a trip to the Tenement Museum on the Lower East side in Manhattan and there was an Irish family (from Dublin) in the tour group. The tour guide told the story how the Irish family that lived in this particular room in the 1870s had to leave because they went bankrupt because of a sickness in the family and had no health insurance. THe tour guide made a remark about things not having changed much and all the Americans snickered while the Irish people didn't uderstand what we were talking about. They assumed we had universal healthcare like the rest of Europe, Canada, Austrailia, etc...has had since WWII it was embarrassing. ONe of them made a comment to me about us not having universal healthcare and we erect museums to our past poverty (the tenement museuem) I think they thought we have a poverty complex
ReplyDeleteThe Dems have controlled Congress since 2004
ReplyDeleteWith Repubs being this uninformed, there is a reason they are misguided and out of power.
"I hope they spit on Dent."-- Yes, that will solve all the problems. I guess when you cant win on the merits of an issue, you may as well start spitting.
ReplyDeleteNo worse than the whack jobs calling Obama a traitor.
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party has become a home for lunatics.
So the now the strategy is calling all who disagree with the President "whack jobs" or "lunatics".
ReplyDeleteBlame Bush, Blame Fox News, Blame the Republicans. Maybe instead of a jobs summit, the President should hold a 'blame' summit. So far that is about all we've seen anyways.
Calling the President of the United States a "traitor" or a "terrorist" is not disagreeing, it is being a lunatic.
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party is seen as a bunch of extremeist lunatics by many independents who lean right. Shake you connection to the extreme views of the Fox News crowd and once again you may be taken seriously. For now you are the Circus sideshow fun to watch but no one takes you serious.
Callahan might be getting a hair cut? Bernie, your personal attacks on the Candidate for Congress do not go unnoticed. Why don't you stick to the issues and attack him there if you like? Oh yea, your ugly, and then...jealous. Not sure if your married, gay, or whatever, but you are ugly- so whomever you do fornicate with must be blind.
ReplyDeleteMr. Callahan has a wife and children. They don't want their husband and father attacked by idiot bloggers who are so ugly they hide behind their keyboards. Keep to the issues- I will be wathching...
It sure is a good thing you haven't read what I wrote today. That's a lot worse. Lighten up. That haircut comment was humor. If I wanted to attack Callahan personally - and I could - you'd see a much different and darker post.
ReplyDeleteI said at the onset I'm not going to get personal, but being unable to make jokes is just ridiculous.
"If I wanted to attack Callahan personally - and I could - you'd see a much different and darker post."
ReplyDeleteGo for it. If you do, prepare for a much different and darker response.
What gives you the right? Should a blogger be allowed to post slander on a website regarding someones personal life? Should your right to free speech allow you to make up news, make up stories, and ruin reputations? THAT IS WHAT BLOGGERS DO.
And who are these bloggers? Disbarred attorneys who clean up in courthouse toilet rooms.
Joke if you like, we all should have a sense of humor, but don't threaten to get darker because you can. In a society that has no restraints, everyone gets hurt.
I really resent that. Slander is spoken, while libel is written. So it's libel, damn it. Get it right.
ReplyDeleteWho said anything about someone's personal life? So far, it's only been you. I talked about a frickin' haircut, and it was a joke.
I will write what I see fit to write. If I make things up, that will be the fastest way I could think of to lose readers and credility. People read this blog bc it has credibility. And humor. You have neither.
