Displaying 841 To 870 Of 3,698 Comments I just went to the site and clicked the link to the congressional session on health care. http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN.aspx » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 10:00 am Exactly. All the callers against have been like this. Talking points + I really need insurance. It just shows how people can be brainwashed into believing something that hurts them. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:59 am REALLY interesting comment from Roll Call reporter — to whom I must apologize (even though he doesn’t know what I said) because he’s shaping up as a great commentator. He’s saying health care will be the central issue of the 2012 presidential election. Because of the schedule and the GOP threats to repeal the bill, 2012 is likely to be about whether this bill ever gets implemented. Even if the GOP retake the House and Senate and pass legislation to repeal the bill, the president will never sign it. So suddenly I’m wondering whether the 2014 implementation date is a political calculation to give cover to the 2012 election. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:58 am Bart Stupak is a yes. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:55 am I was just about to post an update to my comment. He’s doing a better job. He muffed a couple of questions (just when I started listening), but he must be paying more attention to the questions because his answers are pretty good now. But as far as the rest of the media is concerned, you are spot on. I expect more from The Hill and Roll Call. Something interesting — the callers pro bill and even undecideds are very articulate. The callers against the bill don’t even seem to understand what their objections are. Their calls are illogical — talking points mixed with personal situations that would BENEFIT from the bill. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:48 am March 25th is Nancy Pelos’s 70th birthday. That woman looks great. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:38 am It’s sad. Cao had a proud moment. And now it’s gone. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:36 am C-SPAN pre-gavel commentary is disappointing. The guest doesn’t seem to understand the provisions of the bill and doesn’t answer questions with the most relevant information to the caller. His name is Steven Dennis — he’s a Roll Call reporter. A reporter from Roll Call should be doing a better job. Like the rest of the media, he knows all about the process, knows less about the provisions in the bill. UPDATE: He got better. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:18 am Eric Cantor, “There will be no Republican votes for this bill.” » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 9:09 am Excellent. I hope they get more than 216. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 8:55 am I have to revise my response — I’m listening to Steele now. He did a pretty good job of condemning the bigotry — at first. He should have stayed on that track instead of what he finally did, which was dismiss the comments as “stupid.” The GOP isn’t handling this well. Problem is, the Tea Party is their base — the loud ones who say what the rest of the base thinks. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 8:53 am Nice quote. We need to elect more people who think this way. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 6:57 am Unfortunately, Pelosi is probably right about this. The Dems are likely to lose some seats in November, although I don’t believe they will lose the majority. Passing this bill will help the party politically, and sadly that’s probably what is persuading the hold-out House members to vote, rather than the president’s profound remarks in yesterday’s speech. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 6:56 am Juan Cole gives us such a balanced perspective on the Middle East. I used to read him every day — I need to start up with that again. Thanks for the post, Khirad. » Posted By nellie On March 21, 2010 @ 6:53 am Great title on this article, AdLib. Thanks for posting the video. » Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 9:15 pm I’m eagerly awaiting my guru hat. » Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 9:11 pm I just wanted to make sure I understood! This is great — one less vote tomorrow. » Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 9:10 pm ChoiceLady, you say the reconciliation was passed? Did they vote on the bill? Or did they vote on moving the bill to the floor for a vote? » Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 8:44 pm He never sounds dated. » Posted By nellie On March 19, 2010 @ 7:01 pm Nat King Cole – I love you for sentimental reasons
