The Health Care Debate Gets Loud
The health care debate took on a decidedly schoolyard feel on Saturday, when Rep. Tom Price (R-Georgia) took to shouting "I object!" every time Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) tried to speak. What next, "La, la, la, I can't hear you!"?

Who elects these creeps, the Republicans in GA. He needs a tonsillectomy, his voice box is nerdy.
republicans are such children.
"Republican" will soon become a dirty word.
It already is. That's why they started calling themselves Libertarians.
The republican'ts are a bunch of assholes!
Indeed they are wbishop.
It takes courage and conviction for this honorable republican to use his nerdy voice in objection to the incredibly leftist, socialist, bureaucratic, presumptuous, pompous, arrogant, dictatorial, pork infested, behind closed doors, shoved down our collective throats health care bill!!!! Democrats care about there image and saving face, Republicans care about their country and saving it from all evil!!!!
Yeah, osea65, Tom Price is courageous and honorable crusader -- for the Health Insurance lobby; pulling out all the stops to prevent the most important legislation in a generation. Wake up.
This bill, if passed, will destroy this economy, so if someone does the lalalala thing, I am okay with it.
1. $500 billion in new taxes when jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate
2. taken what is 16% of our economy (which the argument for reform says is too much) and turning it into 21% of our economy is self defeating
3. Scaring the shit out of small business at the time when you want them to hire people - not a good thing
So here is my lalalalalalalalalallalalallalalallalalal!
Neverlate: Your name is funny since you happen to be 8 years late.
NEWS FLASH.
Bush already destroyed and ruined this country.
Every problem you listed is Bush's fault.
You supported the policies that gave us all those problems.
So please STFU.
Wow... we can always count on a handful of TDB's best neocons to defend the lowest, craziest right wing politicians, no matter how indefensible their actions. I bet if Michelle Bachmann were to preform a human sacrifice on the floor of congress, neverlate would waste no time in coming to her defense.
"Scaring the shit out of small business"?
-Where do you live, under a rock? Guess what, it's the small businesses that have been the most supportive of the healthcare reform. They can't afford the current high rates which leaves most of their workers having to pay out of pocket for insurance at super high rates. The small business owners themselves are unable to get group discounts and also pay extremely high individual rates.
You are just proving how ignorant you are of the true problems with our current health care system.
In a nutshell, this clip and the Democrat "unanimous consent" motions leading up to it, represent the level at which our government operates: a bunch of suits scheming up ways to use the Rules of Order to blither about and make stupid points while real world problems confront us.
Republicans are just mad because they can't finish destroying what left of this country.
With this Bill, the Left will destroy itself.
Keep making asses of yourselves, Republicans. Maybe you can get yourselves reduced to 10 percent of the population, instead of 20.
Being from the UK, I have grown up watching Parliamentary debates & Prime Ministers Question Time & thought some of that was ridiculous, a lot of the time just a bunch of public school boys jeering & heckling each other.
Having watched Rep. Tom Price, I cannot believe what I have just seen. It's quite amusing until you remember that this is about providing healthcare to millions of uninsured or under-insured people.
Whether you agree with this healthcare bill or not is irrelevent to Rep. Price's behaviour, behaviour of which would not be acceptable from a classroom full of 5 year olds.
Thank you.
