C-Span ought to ashamed
Is anybody else watching this INFO-MERCIAL on C-Span?
BUSH and a handful of suck bags are putting on a show on taking away your right to sue.

1. Oh, yeah, the econ dog-and-pony show
So, is President Bush's economic leadership merely wonderful, or is it fantastically wonderful? :puke:

2. Don't shoot the messenger
If Kerry was Prez, they'd be covering him.

I love C-Span.

5. I give C-SPAN credit for covering all sorts of events as they happen
without commentary. This can range from a Bush love fest like today's economic meeting to a massive anti-war march, complete with all the speeches and songs.

They don't tell you what to think of the various Senators and Congresscritters. They just show them in action.

They are the only TRUE "we report, you decide" station operating today.

8. Lydia speaks truth.
C-SPAN just lays it all out. That's the beauty of free speech. Idiocy of this sort is recognized by the public.

Brian Lamb would say, "Do you think you're the only one who sees this?"

7. they had a very good contrary view this morning
an attorney disputing the frivolous lawsuit hype, and very effectively, on Washington Journal.

I caught the tail end of it, the last caller made a very good point about how the only lawyers the republicans resent are the ones that normal people use. Used Bush as an example, how he had no problem hiring an army of lawyers for Election 2000.

9. Perect point. Did he get elected by the people?
Because he sure is doing everything he can to take away there rights anytime they conflict with business.

16. they're very good, but not perfect
they seem to have a fetish for the Moonie Times. And they set aside Fridays for right-wingers, with no comparable time reserved for progressives.

11. I saw her. Pam something. She was an excellent counterpoint
to that phony "common sense" bullshitter, who's owned by the AMA, I understand.

15. Thank goodness for C-Span
Too bad very few people watch C-Span. How else are we to know what we are up against? Heard a lot of convolution/lies/fabrications coming from the mouths of the Big Boy CEOs. This is simply a ploy to reduce responsibility of manufacturors and distributors of faulty merchandise, whether is involves inept physicians or not. How many big medical malpractice suits have you heard of lately? Shifting the blame is a trademark of Bushco and their supporters. I haven't heard of any insurance companies going bankrupt of late, have you? The power of the people will be drastically diminished if the Congress goes along with this device proposed by Bushco. Time to contact your congresspeople.

19. At least they're airing this in all its phony, scabby glory
And who needs commentary when it's all as phony as a $3 bill?
