Top White House officials counsel Democratic senators, promise the party and allies will respond with twice the force if any individual lawmaker is criticized in television advertising.

WASHINGTON — Top White House officials counseled Democratic senators Thursday on coping with disruptions at public events on health care this summer, officials said, and promised the party and allies would respond with twice the force if any individual lawmaker is criticized in television advertising.

TWICE THE FORCE!!!! – WHY DOES OBAMA WANT THIS SO BAD??? IF HE IS THREATENING AMERICA WITH THIS, WHAT DOES HE GAIN??? 

OUR FREEDOM!  OUR RIGHTS!  OUR CHOICES!  SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT! THIS BILL MUST NOT PASS! 

HE IS SHOWING HE IS NOT WILLING TO LISTEN TO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN’S.  HE IS SHOWING HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR ME! 

WHY WOULD HE WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA’S FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY FOR THIS!  WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS!  IF WE DO THIS WE WILL ESSENTIALLY END UP WITH NOTHING AND THAT IS WORSE THAN WHERE WE ARE NOW!

These officials also told skittish senators that fresh polling suggests an emphasis on issues such as barring insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions is a political winner, able to increase support among independents, women, seniors and rural voters.

PEOPLE DON’T FORGET:

• COST OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
• END OF LIFE CARE
• ACCESS TO YOUR ENTIRE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL PAY BASED ON THAT!
• RATIONING
• GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND ALL OF WASHINGTON NOT BEING ON THE SAME PLAN AS YOU!
• GOVERNMENT IS INEPT AT RUNNING HEALTH CARE
• OBAMA ALREADY TOOK OVER 4 INDUSTRIES!  DON’T HAND HIM THIS ONE!
• YOUR LIFE IT LITERALLY AT RISK
• ELDERLY WILL BE DENIED HEALTH CARE
• These are just some of the highlights – Obama, and the Democrats have not read the bill.  So they say.  They don’t understand the Freedoms and Rights and Choices you and your Doctor will get to make on your life as well as many other freedoms.  They are working too hard to destroy this industry.  I think if they concentrated on the reasons the uninsured why they are not insured and adjust, fix that, that will be much better, but Obama doesn’t want to do that.  He hates American’s having the finest health care on the planet.  I am happy with my health care. 

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss details of the closed-door session that took place hours before lawmakers headed to their home states for a monthlong vacation.

More threats and plans to destroy us!  America beware!  This is not an open door policy.  This is not what you wanted.  This is not the CHANGE that Obama campaigned for. Is It????

In the week since the House began its own break, several town hall-style meetings have been disrupted by noisy demonstrators. These episodes have drawn widespread media attention, and Republicans have seized on them as well as polls showing a decline in support for Obama and his agenda as evidence that public support is lacking for his signature legislation.

Pushing back, Democrats have accused Republicans of sanctioning mob tactics, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused protesters of trying to sabotage the democratic process.

SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT LISTENING TO AMERICANS!

The Republican Party says it’s not behind the protests, (NOTE:  AMERICANS ARE) but Reid scoffed at the notion that the protesters reflect grass-roots sentiment. He held up a piece of artificial turf during a session with reporters.

SIR, This will be your downfall to not accept opposition and to insult American’s and dismissing their questions, reasons, voices of concern and plain don’t want to have Government control their lives!   You sir, must listen to American’s as it is outlined in the 1st Amendment to redress our grievances.  If you don’t…. That is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and I suppose you will have to be replaced by someone who will listen.

“These are nothing more than destructive efforts to interrupt a debate that we should have, and are having,” Reid said Thursday. “They are doing this because they don’t have any better ideas.

You know this about the stupidest remark I have ever heard… nothing more than destructive to interrupt a debate…. excuse me… who are you debating?  The same side!  A DEBATE IS A LIVELY DISCUSSION OF OPPOSING IDEALS AND POSITIONS ON ANY SUBJECT! 

They have no interest in letting the negotiators, even though few in number, negotiate. It’s really simple: they’re taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor-mongerers … and insurance rackets.”

 We don’t want negotiations on this bill!  THIS BILL MUST NOT PASS!  Real simple.  You want to negotiate then include everyone.  As long as you leave out the majority of America you will never win unless you are evil and wish to work underhandedly at the risk of the people and their outcomes.  You apparently have not really read that bill.  Tell me it isn’t taking my freedoms and I can show you in Section 163 of HR3200 or how about rationing… or what about the $90,000 maximum payment per year for claims… what about that?  

Republicans answered back.

“All the polls show there is serious concern, if not outright opposition, to the president’s health care plan,” said Antonia Ferrier, spokeswoman for House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio. “Democrats are ginning up this cynical shell game.”

Also Thursday, the AFL-CIO announced plans to mobilize labor activists to attend town hall meetings in 50 congressional districts this month to counter the conservative protesters.

I do believe I heard this was illegal for a union to use union dues to get involved in political actions.  Does anyone know more about that?  If they go as citizens thta is one thing but to call out the forces from Obama…. that is illegal!

White House aides David Axelrod and Jim Messina traveled to the Capitol for their presentation to Democratic senators. Senators saw videos of disruptions at events held by House members, and were told to organize their events more carefully as well as work with labor unions and other friendly groups to generate enthusiasm.

They also were urged to use these events to stress insurance reforms such as a limit on out-of-pocket expenses for those covered by insurance, a ban on coverage cancellation for the seriously ill and protections for small businesses.

There are limits on coverage but not the kind that they are touting…. READ THE BILL!  There are indexes on this site as well as on the internet that will point  you to the sections of the bill you may be concerned about.

Messina, the deputy White House chief of staff, also said any advertising attack would be met with a bigger response, these officials said.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS THREATENING AMERICANS!   WHY DOES OBAMA WANT THIS SO BAD?  IF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE AGAINST THIS THEN WHY IS HE AND THE DEMOCRATS NOT CONCERNED WITH AMERICANS, the Democrats, Republicans, Independents, just every day America!

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina told senators, according to two people in the room.

THUGS!  THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IS IT?????

“It’s a challenge, no question about it, and you’ve got to get out there and make the case,” Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said afterward. “This is not the time for the faint-hearted.”

White House aides distributed briefing materials explaining to senators the points Obama is stressing, as well as how to answer commonly asked questions.  READ THE BILL AND MAKE YOUR OWN POINTS BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND IT THEMSELVES!

Some of the activists who’ve shown up at town-hall meetings held recently by Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and other lawmakers are affiliated with loosely connected right-leaning groups, including Conservatives for Patients’ Rights and Americans for Prosperity, according to officials at those groups. Some of the activists say they came together during the “Tea Party” anti-big-government protests that happened earlier this year, and they’ve formed small groups and stayed in touch over e-mail, Facebook and in other ways.

But they insist they’re part of a ground-level movement that represents real frustration with government spending and growth.

They are dismissing and being insulting about this.  This is seems to be how Democrats behave to insult Americans.  They are vicious and turning out to be evil and uncaring.  They have no ability to limit spending.  They don’t know how to budget and save a dollar.  We are borrowing money at this minute and have been since April.  WE HAVE NO MONEY!  How is Government going to run Health Care when everything else they run is in ruins.  They are not business people and should stay out of it.   It is amazing how vicious they are.  They don’t seem to care about you or me.  That is one thing that will be their downfall.  I hope they fall hard.  This is not good to do to people they purport to represent all the way to the President!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was greeted by about 200 demonstrators at an event in Denver, about half supporting the Democrats, and half opposed.

About 20 protesters gathered in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Thursday to let Democratic Rep. Scott Murphy know they oppose the health care plans in Washington. They carried signs saying: “Obamacare Seniors beware! Rationing is here,” and “If socialized medicine is best … why didn’t Ted Kennedy go to Canada?” Motorists honked as they drove by.

So far, three House committees have approved health care legislation, and a measure is expected on the floor this fall. One committee has acted, and a bipartisan group of senators on the Finance Committee has been at work for weeks trying to draft a compromise plan.

Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a member of the group, said they were discussing exempting insurance policies sold to teachers and first-responders such as police and firefighters from a proposed tax on high-cost insurance.

Gotcha!  TAX ON HIGH COST OF INSURANCE~~~~ We know it is going to cost a fortune and we can’t afford it!  DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET!

Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said Thursday the group, which will keep working over the August break, is making progress.

The outlines of a the Finance Committee compromise have emerged in recent weeks — although nothing is final. The package would cost around $900 billion over 10 years and would be fully paid for through a variety of revenue raisers including a tax on health insurers that offer high-cost plans worth more than $20,000 a year.

The CBO just blew that out of the water yesterday.  I will try to find the report and get it added to this site.

Individuals would be required to get insurance, either through an employer, on their own, or through a government program. Federal subsidies would help low-income and many middle-class households afford the premiums. Medicaid would be expanded to cover more people close to the poverty line. Nearly all Americans would be covered.

They are destroying health care that will cover NEARLY ALL AMERICAN!  We are at that point now! What is nearly the same percentage as now.  That fixes nothing but transfers authority to the Government.  NO THIS BILL MUST NOT PASS!

But even the usually optimistic Baucus says it’s not a done deal.

“If Republicans aren’t there, it could get to the point where some time after the recess … Democrats may have to go in a different direction,” Baucus said after the group returned from a meeting with Obama at the White House.

“I hope not,” Baucus added, “but we have to face facts.”
