These people are insane. If anything proves that they're not coming to this summit in good faith, it's what Eric Cantor (R-Oblivious) just said. He claims that we can all "read letters by constituents who are allegedly wronged by our health care system."

I can't even tell you how much arrogance it must have taken to say that. If there's any justice in this world, that quote will be used in ads to take down these people in 2010 and 2012.

It's as if Cantor doesn't even believe his constituents who tell him they're wronged by their health insurance companies. Not only that, but it's bafflingly fucking strange that he would say that they can all point to constituents complaints to justify government action. That is their JOB. They're SUPPOSED to do what their constituents want!

1. may cantor experience personally the "alleged" wrongs of what passes for health care in this country

[catbyte]

2. But he won't, because HE HAS government health care!

Fucking hypocrite.

Pardon my French, but I'm so very, very angry.

5. you are absolutely correct--I just wish there were some way to have him experience what he denies

exists.

[housewolf]

3. A sure sign of someone who is owned by the healt insurance industry

Unwilllingness to say that people actually ARE wronged by the system.


Geeeessshhhh!

4. What's this guy's problem?

It is easy to ask "Why does he hate America?", but what is it with this jerk?
He and his moron buddies, Boner & the jackass McConnell, do absolutely not a God Damn thing but oppose each and every thing Obama tries to do.
These three at least are true enemies of democracy.
Can these idiots even venture out in public anymore? I'm afraid they would be pummelled in some parts of the country.

6. I'd tell him to watch "Sicko" for proof of about 25,000 people wronged by our "health care system".

That is, the 25 thousand or so e-mails Michael received in one week. There are probably, like he said, several hundred thousand MORE cases of those who have insurance that isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

But he would just smirk "Michael Moore" and dip his head in some of this:



Prick bastard.

[FSogol]

7. Cantor is scum. n/t

[DevonRex]

8. What an asshole. nt

[rocktivity]

9. Would he include the people who are sicker than they ought to be

and deader sooner than they should be?

10. Cantor's actual ''constituents" are thehealth insurance lobby which consists of five lobbyists

for everysingle congressman. He doesn't give a crap
what 'alleged wrongs' are done to working people by
the insurance cartels.

[Supersedeas]

19. thus the word 'allegedly' -- these doubtful and suspect claims are so misguided

[Robyn66]

11. I would call him a douchebag

but that is an insult to douchebags!

[Bobbie Jo]

12. Canter...ALLEGEDLY a human being.

:puke:

[Uncle Joe]

13. The only reason, Cantor views these letters as alleged is because he refuses to look

at or for the proof; which would support those "alleged" letters by overwhelming statistical evidence, logic and just plain common sense.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[Canuckistanian]

14. So, he's basically calling his constituents liars

If his Dem opponent doesn't use this in the next election, they're nuts.

[walldude]

15. His other classic comment was "We can't afford this"

Yeah lots of money for wars but none for helping people.

[stranger81]

16. like my allegedly dead mother?

What an SOB.

[Cleita]

17. Multi-millionaires and billionaires with their head up their ideological

asses should be forced to spend a weekend in the ER of any big city non-profit hospital doing community service. I think they would get a different perspective, I hope.

[Political Heretic]

18. It's insanity.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

20. Capture it and send it super viral, in google search all over twitter and facebook.

[Duke Newcombe]

21. I wanted to leap through the radio...

...and smack the crap out of him when he said that. As if, what...these people are just making shit up?!!!

:mad: :nuke:
