Keith Olbermann Exposes Congressional Opponents of Universal Health Care

Keith Olbermann’s message to ‘Blue Dog’ Democrats:

“I warn you all: You were not elected to create a democratic majority — you were elected to restore this country. You were not elected to serve the corporations and the trusts who the government has enabled for these last eight years — you were elected to serve the people. And if you fail to pass or support this legislation, the full wrath of the progressive and the moderate movements in this country will come down on your heads. Explain yourselves not to me, but to them. They elected you and in the blink of an eye they will replace you. If you will behave as if you are republicans — as if you are the prostitutes of our system — you will be judged as such and you will lose not only our respect — you will lose your jobs. … Cross us all at your peril.”

We’ve done it before and we’d do it again at http://www.michaelmoore.com

    McCain (a veteran himself) is one of the biggest anti-veteran voters in Washington. The people of Arizona need to throw his out of office already. He’s a paid for fool and government scumbag.

    Ameritards, in …
    Ameritards, in general, are one of the most undisciplined when it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle. I see so many people every day who are basically immobile, the sole reason appears to be they are FATBUCKETS. Also the amount of people in this country who abuse drugs/alcohol/food, has to be one of the highest in the world. Maybe the government should encourage insurance companies to give BIG discounts to their insured clients, for meeting certain health markers (weight, bp, nonsmoker,etc).

    They don’t want you to have an abortion,nor do they want to give that child and it’s parent(s)healthcare if unaffordable because they don’t want to raise taxes. Those taxes that will no doubt raise that child through Government assisted programs. Don’t they realize how hypocritical they are?

    haha, what a joke.

    The Big American Corporations are SO evil. That is why in a country when these corporations have more freedom than in any other the American people are SO oppressed and have things SO bad.

    I wish that instead a government was in charge of our welfare, like in Cuba or China…boy, wouldn’t that be great.

    That was sarcasm.

    That was sarcasm.

    Anyone who’s fought an insurance company to get them to pay a claim or approve desperately needed medical care knows that they aren’t really “lucky” at all. They hope there’s a chance that they will get medical care because they have insurance. Often they find out when it’s too late that the policy is worthless.

    Listen to Congressional testimony by former health insurance executives who let people die by refusing to pay claims from people with treatable illnesses.

    4) Capitalism is used to build EMPIRES. In America, We don’t like imperialism or imperial classes. We don’t bow to queens! What did the evil little Queen of Buckingham palace who gets hauled around in a golden carriage ever produce of real value to others in exchange for all her wealth? Did she really earn that wealth? What about Bernie Madoff ? We must return to the American System of economy! Google: LaRouche on the American Sysytem of economics

    3) But, what did he produce of real value to others in exchange for the profit he made? The shareholder does the same thing. The Capitalist is a parasite that feeds of the production of others without having to produce anything of real value himself. He is a drag in the economy & sucks money out of the economy like a tick attached to a healthy horse. He gets a free lunch. A Capitalist is BAD for any economy. Capitalism is not the American system of economy.

    2) Under the real …
    2) Under the real American system of economy, real wealth is measured on ones ability to manufacture & produce something. But, the Capitalist has found a way to obtain money without having to produce or manufacture anything of real value to others. He just makes his money make more money. A privet banker does the same thing. He loans you $1000. You work & produce your off & pay him back $1,150. He profits $150 off your ability to produce.

    1) Capitalism …
    1) Capitalism violates the purpose for money. There are products & services we need & desire & must have in order to survive well as a culture & Nation. We produce a verity of products & use money as the medium of exchange to obtain those different products. THAT IS THE ONLY PURPOSE FOR MONEY! It’s just paper! It has no other real value or purpose. If you want more money, you must be able to CREATE & MANUFACTURE something of real value to people.
