[Mishmash] "misinformation" policing

[Carole]

i've read most of it too.  and if i can read it and understand it (i can't
read any insurance policy and understand it)  there is no reason on earth
that those in congress (who have decided they are more intelligent than the
rest of us) can't and shouldn't.  they are a bunch a lazy people living off
the rest of us - (and i guess they want everyone to have that same benefit
at least).  

i have wasted my time writing to all my congressmen.  they are all democrat
and leaf around by their nose rings by chicago dems so it's been a waste of
time.  i did tell them tho that they can turn those letters over to obama's
thought police if they like - i'm not part of an uninformed, mob with
nothing else to do; but i am a patriotic american who believes in this
country and what it was formed for.  I actually did hear from roland burris
- 3 times even.  but NOT from dickie durban or my rep.....knowing them they
have already sent those letters on to obama.  Definitely shades of nazi
germany (which i too have studied at length).

I actually have read the bill . . . it is nothing more than another "lets
take money for those who earned it and give it to those who didn't" deal.
 
BTW the "tell us what you neighbor is saying" thing is exactly like Germany
in the 1920s.

Oh please.  Be serious.  White House efforts to get a handle on some
of the right-wing
hogwash circulating on the net  reminds you of Hitler's Germany?  You
must not have done
much reading about Hitler's Germany.
 
Somebody should send them a pointer to this mailing list.
 
>"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there,
 
Amen, brother.
 
>This is scary stuff, folks.
 
No, it's just the usual the usual political BS you find coming out of
fringe groups on both
edges of the political spectrum.  If you'd spent as many years as I
have working in Washington
you'd recognize it immediately. The right doesn't have a monopoly on
it, certainly, but they've been producing it in high gear on the
subject of health care of late.
 
>What will they do with this information they're collecting?
 
Probably try to educate the public.  Hard job given all the money the
health insurance industry,
the pharmaceutical industry, and the health care industry have been
spending in order to keep the
profits rolling in.
 
>Have any of your elected officials actually read that 1100 page bill
>they're expected to vote on?
 
Have you?
