Steele: Yes, Health Care Reform Is Armageddon (VIDEO)

Let's hear it for civility!

Burn baby, burn!

That word you keep using, I do not think it means what you think it means.

I was wondering why there was a large beast with numerous heads in my front yard this morning.

Remember Y2k?
How it was talked about forever and the "worst case scenerios" had people stockpiling shelters?

Yeh, this is like that.
The Radical right has spent the last year scaring the sheep out of their minds and yet here it is the day after HCR passes and nothing ... nadda, ZIP!!! The world is pretty much the same as yesterday.

... and again here comes the RNC with their cries of Armagedden and "the end of Democracy" and "Baby Killers" ... but the American sheeple have succumb to "HCR Rage Fatigue". They are all quietly slipping out the back of the rally and are heading home to concentrate on the NCAA finals and American Idol.

Yet John Bonehead and his ilk continue to cry about the sky falling.
Really. It's getting embarrassing.

The culmination of almost every right wing leader's messages have been and are undeniable: they are calling for violence against Democrats. They have already justified right wing terrorism by blaming Obama. Period.
These people on the right are disgusting, bigoted, hypocritical traitors.

Notice that the stock market was up today. If had gone down, the idiot Rs would have been screaming bloody murder.

I watched Steele and Kaine of the DNC on one of the Sunday talk shows yesterday. I was really quite surprised at the extreme rhetoric Steele used to talk about Obama and the Dems. Steele's words were right out of the Tea Party playbook: Socialist President, Democrats "destroying our nation", "listen to the people", etc. Then again, thats all the Rs had to say last eve during the final debate. All scare tactics and hotbutton words, targetted to needlessly rile people up, mindlessly repeated talking points.

While the American middle can be swayed left and right, and while right-wing extremists may win office in some states and districts, the American people have never abided this kind of fear-mongering for very long. Steele is playing to the base--I expect him and the Rs to lose the middle over the long run. And without the middle, the Rs will never again control the strings of national power.

It really bugs me when one day they say we aren't paying for this and it's going to raise the deficit and then the next day they talk about how much it raises taxes. Wait a minute... I'm starting to wonder if Republicans might not have a real substantive argument and so they resort to a one-size-fits-all repertoire of boilerplate talking points.

My question, Which big mouth wing nut will actually make the "Call to Arms" (post reform, that is)

The more I see this man speak, the more I grow suspicious that he is a mole for the DNC. It just seems the most logical answer at this point. LOL

Armageddon was a movie with Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and a stripper named Molly Mounds. Oh, and Steve Tyler of Arrowsmith was singing and they blew up the comet and everyone was dancing in the street, except Bruce Willis cuz he got wasted on the comet.

Michael Steele is a total ass if he doesn't know this. Total Ass.

Sascha Baron Cohen... hilarious as always in his latest guise!

Repubs, please, please, please don't fire this guy! He's the best thing to hit the Political scene in decades. For Dems of course

How many times can you scream armageddon? I guess we'll find out
Most people won't remain radical for very long.
Unless they are in truly dire circumstances, people tire of being angry and bitter all the time.
I remember the 70s when eventually even motivated people wearied of pessimistic, apocalyptic conversations. Most just went back to everyday living,some got 'co-opted' and went mainstream,some turned their angry words into positive action, etc. A few of them (maybe the best AND the worst)kept protesting and/or haranguing,depending on how you look at it, but the fact is it takes a lot of effort to keep people motivated and mobilized. pretty soon the only ones left are the purple faced screamers, and their puppetmasters.
these folks have been screaming the same things for a year now.
will they all go away? no. but they will begin to suffer attrition. Some of them will find that they actually like some of the new things in the health care bill. some of them will spend themselves on internal bickering and primary battles. Some will discover the hypocrisy in their own movement and their own leaders and they will tire of contributing to politicians. others will just keep bitching and be happy with that.

Some will keep showing up, but most will just go back to watching their tv shows. Even so, everything gets old after awhile when you are media fed and media driven.
at least they'll have their online porn to fall back on.

Armageddon? Whoa!

Maybe the real problem is that there are people in high public office who want to base public policy on bronze-age mythology rather than sound analysis.

What a fuss and bother by the right wing because Democrats passed the Republican health care bill, strikingly similar to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Massachusetts bill and containing all the key elements of the 1994 Republican proposal, including the mandate that all citizens purchase insurance through private insurance companies and government vouchers for low income individuals. Imagine the tizzy the right would be exhibiting had the Democrats actually passed a progressive health care proposal!
