Wingnut watch

The healthcare debate rages on across America. What is especially striking in this video is that the majority of folks questioning the Congressman seem to be regular working people like you and me but they seem to be sticking up (and making a great deal of an effort for) for private corporations who are the very same entities that will unscrupulously take advantage of this set of people when they have healthcare issues.

My favorite Barney Frank quote from the video:

"I am struck by those who think laughter substitutes for logic; and I guess if that's all you've got, that's what you go with."

Another hilarious Barney quote (not from this video):

“There are three lies politicians tell, the first is ‘We ran against each other but are still good friends.’ That’s never true. The second is ‘I like campaigning.’ Anyone who tells you they like campaigning is either a liar or a sociopath. Then, there’s ‘I hate to say I told you so.’ Everybody likes to say ‘I told you so.’ I have found personally that it is one of the few pleasures that improves with age. I can say ‘I told you so’ without taking a pill before, during, or after I do it.”
