Ed Schultz Roars Back to Weekdays and Obliterates Republican Obamacare Lies
On his very first show back on weekdays, Ed Schultz brought the fire back to MSNBC by tearing apart the Republicans anti-Obamacare summer tour of lies.
Here is the video of Schultz taking down the GOPs Obamacare lies
-snip- (video)
Schultz explained that the Republicans movement to kill Obamacare is really all about power:
Now, this summer, weve heard a lot of lies. Heres what you need to know about Obamacare and nothing more to simplify all of this. The linchpin in this is that the Republicans want to give the power to the insurance companies. They want the insurance companies to control your life. They want the insurance companies to send you those letters and pick up the phone and call you and deny you because you might be sick. Think about that. this is who the Republicans want to give the power to.
President Obama wants to give the power to you. The consumer. The sick consumer who will never be denied. You can hear everything you want about losing jobs, about what kind of care youre going to getting and how long the lines are going to be, and the lot. Heres all you need to know. Its when all these real live stores come home to roost to these guys a year from now, theyll realize how much trouble theyre in in the midterms. How will Republicans run against a popular program that they have been so vehemently against? That they have lied about, and the publics going to know about it. You see, there are people out there right now that its helping.

Obama wants to give the power to you and the Repuglicans want to give it to the insurance companies? What? It's on DU regularly that it is Obama that wants to give the power to insurance companies and that Obamacare is a miserable bust for the people...
Someone call Ed and tell him he is wrong!
