So Was Michael Moore's SICKO Wrong about Hillary

[rsmith6621]

Chris Matthews brought it up tonight.....Did Hillary really accept Pharma lobby $$$ in exchange for her vote in the Yeah for that bill or did Mr Moore make a false claim in SICKO.....If true how would Hillary defend herself if asked....does this make her a major hypocrite.

1. Hillary got beat down by the Big Pharmafia and the GOP...

dirty dealers in the congress.

2. Did Moore say there was money exchanged for a vote?

I don't think so. I believe he was just pointing out who was getting what money. If he did say that there was an exchange money for vote, that sounds like a pretty serious charge.

4. No -- he did NOT make any charges of that nature

He just noted who received what in generic "election fund" terms.

8. Thought that was what I'd heard.

3. Hell Yes there is a difference! Read HR 676

Hillary Clinton's "HillaryCare" was all about forcing private insurance to "cover" people. Cross-reference Mitt Romney's MA plan for how successful that vision is.

Hillary is the #2 in the senate (behind voted-out-in-my-district Rick Santorum) in receipt of Ins/Pharma lobby funds. www.opensecrets.com

5. Ponder a moment. It might have something to do

with the fact she is a Senator from New York - not Montana or Wyoming or Oklahoma or Iowa or 30 other states. New York - big state - lots of medical groups.

6. Don't get me started on HRC

May you have a good night

:hi:

7. true to Moore's style, he set it up for you to draw that conclusion...

...though no evidence suggests it.

Also, a mere (if memory serves) $200,000 separates her from Obama in this respect - which isn't a big chasm when you consider the hundreds of thousands in question. Why didn't Moore question Obama's take?

[KKKarl is an idiot]

9. I don't think the money she gets will change her votes

It will just make sure that none of the bills that call for a comprehensive health coverage by the federal government will make it to becoming law.
