Strength and Truth from the man who should have been president. (4.00 / 2)

Gratzer was lying his ass off the entire time, and when unable to come up with a lie suitable enough he simply whined about being treated with disrespect and refused to answer the question put to him.  The boy's arrogance is astounding.  he showed absolute contempt and disrespect throughout the entire hearing by lying to the committee and, through the television cameras, everyone else observing.  Gratzer is a sick joke, only no one was laughing.

The most pathetic part of all this is that if it had been a Senate hearing, Democrats and Republicans alike would have been verbally fellating that loser.

Way off the mark (0.00 / 1)

This is way off the mark. Check out the truth on http://www.AmericanParchment.com. I know people who come to the United States for our health care system. They know that if they are here and get hurt they won't have to pay, like illegal immigrants but while they are here they pay for their medical needs. The poor system in Canada can be summed up in one fact. In a city of 3 million people Montreal has only 2 MRIs. Why is that when each of our hospitals have at least 2. You are put on a waiting list there. You are not given the care needed if you are too old. And in England you do not get cancer medicine for certain cancers after the age of 65. Don't believe me, read the articles from both Canadian and UK newspapers on this site.

I don't have too... (4.00 / 1)

My mom is a Republican who married a Canadian man. They are getting divorced now, but the fact is she lived in Canada with him for a few years. A couple of years ago she heard  your hero, Sean Hannity speaking on the Canadian healthcare system.

She emailed me and asked me to inform people that Right wing propoganda on the Canadian healthcare system was just that- PROPOGANDA!! She got sick up there and had no problem getting the care she needed. I also talked to my step-brothers and sisters up there and they are more than thrilled with their healthcare. You are wrong about the Canadian system. My mom is as Conservative as they come, but she knows lies when she hears them.

Awesome! (0.00 / 0)

Keep it up.  There's just no propoganda like right wing propoganda!  They just want to keep their profits!  How else could they afford to pay out over a million a day in lobbying against single-payer or a public option?  That's OUR money spending lobbying against us!
We need to get out the pitchforks, or at least call these traitorous blue dogs every day.  I e-mail my Republican representatives constantly, so they can't say that nobody wants a public option.
