Ok, the conservative talk needs to go back to talk and stop the propaganda.
For all of you who can't tell the difference, You know its propaganda when you don't hear any pro's and con's

If you think that everything you hear on the radio is objective then you are being duped by "entertainment radio".

I am all for calling the crap when it needs to be called out but this fever pitch paranoia from the conservatives is just too much.

Don't you remember how silly it looked when the democrats were crying over everything? Time to look in the mirror friends.

"By denying health care." (?!) Yea right, that's how a capitalist company gets more customers. And oil companies make profits by not distributing oil, and airlines make profits by not flying passengers, and grocery stores make profits by refusing to sell food.

No, actually, it is only in the government la=la-land, where farmers are paid not to plant crops, trains run to destinations without enough traffic to cover the costs and soon, medical treatments will be denied because a government official feels you won't enjoy the benefits long enough to justify the cost.

Everyone should cancel their AARP membership as many in this video said they were going to do. That would send a message.

I can't believe how she was speaking to them... like they were a bunch of unruly children or just simpletons. That's how my 8 year old's teacher speaks to her class when they are talking out of turn.

I cancelled my AARP membership today. The rep was very polite, and happened to mention that they have been overwhelmed with calls. I also invited AARP and Ms. Pelosi to kiss my astro turf

You're NOT conservative. You gave it away in your first sentence when you referred to Obama as "the president" and then again when you intimated that this is a legitimate debate, rather than a government power grab designed to look like some sort of humanitarian something or other. And furthermore, what conservative would go by "Michael"?? Mike or even Mikey, but never MICHAEL, FFS.

Why is it always the Democrats who pretend to be conservative??? I can guaran-f@#$ing-tee I'll never pretend to be a pinko bastard, unless of course I'm purposely trying to piss somebody off.

I'd be loud and raucous if I went to one of those meetings, too....probably do a couple tequila shots beforehand.

And you all wonder why the president is saying the "teabaggers" are comming to meetings to disrupt. I would have rather sat through 5 min of this woman's speed (she is running the meeting), than the 1 min of interuptions before I decided that most of the folks there weren't interested in discourse, but in making sure they had the biggest microphone. I'm as liberatarian and conservative as they come, but you can win squat this way. You just piss off the folks trying to listen.

People like the AARP rep remind me of many Deadheads I knew years ago. They always said they were open minded and accepting. As time went by I realized they were open minded and accepting of people who liked the Grateful Dead and thought, dressed, smelled and lived like them, only. Now, 20 years later they have not changed.

Thank God for those senior citizens who are not the addled sheep the AARP clearly believes them to be.

This video made me tear up. All these senior trying to express their views and the meeting organizers just pack up and leave. Where is the respect for the older generation?

I am glad I never joined AARP even though my wife and I have received mailings for years.

I think aarp and the whitehouse forgets that many of these seniors are members of and children of the "Greatest Generation".They reconize facisism from first hand encounters, have defeated it at a great cost and won't sit quietly while someone sh!ts on them.Todays generation does not reconize facisism because of ignorance,its history is not taught in schools(thank you teachers union!)so the only edcuation of it is learned from the media(and it ain't the history channel their watching!)Obama's plan must kill off the old because they are the only ones who really remember Mussilini,Stalin,Castro,Mao,Hitler,Po Pot and the rest of the "old school" dictators.The old school had a"propaganda minister".The "new school" dictators have the much better "Public Relations office". New name for the same old job,too lie,demonize,spin,misinform,slant,scare ect.The old see Obama,Chavez,Iran,Putin,Kim jung,and others as they are not as their P.R. presents them so therefore the elderly must shut up and die quietly.(baby boomers will be next and are likely go easier followed by the next who are not yet even aware they are lining up for the showers)

As of last evening I have counseled my AARP membership.
Based on the Health Care Bill and it's "end-of-life" counseling, etc. my thoughts to AARP are that soon, they will have to start cutting staff as their "elder" membership begins to die off under the health care plan they support. Maybe can I help make that happen just a little bit sooner. Money talks folks!!!

for folks out there like this. Another demonstration of how Liberalism (its present meaning) is purely a mental disorder. It never can or will stand up against logic, reason, history, or fact. That is why Liberals cannot take heat for very long.

The members need to vote with their dollars. That's the only way the AARP will change their pro-liberal agenda.

This may be a bit off topic but is germane. I heard a news report on CNN of all places, saying that the cash for clunkers had a built-in "administrative cost" of between $1,000 and $1,500 per "clunker". Nonetheless, I'll keep driving my '91 Ford as long as it can go because I can't afford another car payment.

I noticed that woman's large bum bum, too, but I thought it would be in poor taste to mention it, considering so many Americans are afflicted with genetic obesity. Try exercising some empathy, FFS. We all have our little imperfections. Take me for instance; I wasn't always talk, dark and handsome. At one point in my life, I was short, dark and handsome, but I eventually overcame my affliction.

They have a direct link to SEIU. Never noticed that before. AARP has lost any respect they may have had.

You could tell they were all middle aged republicans bussed in to disrupt the meeting. Just terrible.

Why isn't there a "sarcasm" tag for these posts?

This video was a joy to watch because it shows how quickly the libs will cut and run when people dont kowtow to their belief structure.

These libs wouldnt have survived the hardships my parents and grandparents went through.....and perhaps I think if America once again had to go through those same hardships (like having to hunt for something to eat for example)then perhaps we could solidify our nations cartilaginous backbone once again....its like lifting weights, once we've grown soft, weak and flabby...only adversity will cause us to strengthen our moral structure once again.

The "volunteer" that gets up and says "How would they make money, if they provided everyone with healthcare? There's no way". Classic stuff. So, when the government decides to give everyone healthcare there's "no way" they'll make money. In fact, they'll lose money - lots of it. Where's that money coming from? Bend over and Obama and Pelosi will show you...

From Mike Adams via Town Hall.
Ask your reps these questions.
On Page 22, I saw some language, which suggested that the bill mandates audits of all employers that choose to self-insure. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?
On Page 29, I saw what appeared to be an admission that health care will be rationed under this new plan. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?
On Page 30, I discovered that a government committee will be established to decide what treatments and benefits I get. However, unlike an insurer, I see no evidence that there will be a process to appeal their decisions. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?
On Page 50, I read some non-discrimination language, which seems to suggest that all non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free health care services. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?
On Page 59, I saw some language suggesting that the federal government will have access to all individual bank accounts for health-related electronic funds transfers. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?
On Page 124, I learned that no private company can sue the government for price-fixing. Furthermore, no “judicial review” is permitted against a complete government monopoly. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?

On Page 127, I read that the government will now set wages for physicians. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?

On Page 149, couched in esoteric “contribution” language, it looks like any employer with a payroll of $400,000 or more, who does not offer the public option, pays an 8% tax on payroll as a penalty. This penalty would go a long way towards destroying the private system. It would also seem to violate your campaign promises – specifically those you made during debates I watched. If I read this correctly, it appears you looked me – via the camera – in the eye and lied. So, Barry, can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?

On Page 203, I read a very strange sentence: “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax imposed by this chapter for purposes of determining the amount of any credit under this chapter.” I know this is supposed to be a true/false test but do you think calling a “tax” by some other name means it is no longer a tax? This seems to be a persistent theme in this bill. Please explain. Attach extra sheets of paper if necessary.

Page 272 has some of the most esoteric language of the health care bill. But it looks like the government plans to ration health care for cancer patients. Can you tell me whether that is a) True or b) False?

This is the problem. Like she said, these are all supposed to be listening events. Meaning they should be listening to us. Instead they want to tell us "what we all agree on". No you don't know what we agree on because you haven't listened for years!

Don't start out a meeting with that attitude, you'll get nothing but irritation and anger in return.

Look, reform, repair, alter ...sure..no one alledges this current system is perfect..
But to outright change it completely baffles me..

I think our elected representatives have lost thier minds !!!
Sadly, I think my Congressman is voting for it...regardless of the amount of letters I've been sending (and others)
It'll be a short two years for him then..
Oh well..and I thought he looked promising

I agree with Stan. How was AARP supposed to handle a discussion on health insurance reform with all of those people butting in? Most of them were clearly younger than 50 years old so why were they there anyway? Taylor Hicks looks like he's about 50 but he's really only 28 so remember that when you watch this. Is this what America has come to today? I think it's time we gave these old farts their oat bran and a Bingo game to shut them up. Oh and they were all white and we're supposed to believe you pigs aren't racists who are fighting President Obama for the sake of fighting President Obama. Well, I'm sorry he isn't out in your yard picking cotton but get with the 20th century. Copyleft, I need you here to carry on the torch of knowledge because I have to go out for a while.
