CNN

Why don't they take care of their own business. The desperate GOP needs more help now trying to look credible than ever before. They are alientating everyone but the far right-wing whackjobs who they had in their pocket anyway. Whom do they think they are kidding? All their fear-mongering tactics and hate-filled protests just make them look like out-of-control hooligans!

Obama has it together and will ultimately succeed. The man knows what he is doing. This country is still split 57% to 43% just as it was for the Presidential Election. 57% support for Obama seems pretty good to me! We don't want nor expect Rethuglicans to come over from the dark side. Stay where you are. We don't need you!

If the repubs wanted to do something on healthcare they had the pres. 21 out of the last 29 years and the pres, house and senate from 2000 to 2006 and did next to nothing! Only Clinton tried and got shot down. Now they want to keep it the same or water down the plan to help the insurance companys. It will get done this year! Get use to it!! GET UR DONE!!!

Every single person here who isn't making more then $100k/year, and even some that are, every single person here who isn't in the military or otherwise working for the government, is only 2-3 medical problems away from bankruptcy.

I had "epiploic appendegitis" recently. Diagnosing this apparently cost $6,100 and $5,000 of that was for a 10 minute CT scan. Even after the insurance company paid their part, it drained our flex spending account. If me or my wife have any health problems between now and January, we're paying for 20% of it. And this is a good deal apparently. Course, 20% of a $20,000 bill, which you can hit with 2 CT scans and a hospital stay of a couple days, is $4,000. How many people do you know who have that kind of cash on hand?

I work for a credit bureau, and I see a lot of credit reports. I also see an amazing amount of Medical Collections. If you lived in Canada, "Medical Collections" would not be a problem for you. Wait a little while for a non-life threatening procedure, or go bankrupt? Which would you prefer?

"Why doesn't Obama keep his promise when he ran for president, evey american will have the same health care as him, and every member of the government."

That's what he wants.

That's not what the health insurance industry wants, that's not what their astroturfing PR firms want, that's not what their slaves in the Republican party want. So, there you go, now you know who to take out your ire on.

70% of the country wants a public health care option.

The remaining 30% is very noisy, with billions of dollars from the health insurance industry making that 30% much louder.

Profits at 10 of the country's largest publicly traded health insurance companies rose 428 percent from 2000 to 2007. The coverage received by "customers" of those companies for their health care has dropped significantly over that same time. The CEOs of 7 major for-profit health insurance companies collectively made $68 million dollars in 2008. That's actually a big cut for them, they collectively made $100 million in 2007. Price of a recession, right?

That's 7 people. Average pay of 9.7 million dollars apiece. That's money they pocket for not providing health care.

A for-profit industry doesn't make money by giving money back to the people who pay it.

It is interesting that no matter whether you are a Democrat or a Rebublican if you don't just say Seig Heil, click your heels and vote the Repug Nazi party line you are ridiculed and reviled. Same thing happened the entire time Bush was in office. It doesn't matter who is in the majority these people are so spiteful and vindictive it is amazing.

Attack, misinform, smear, dirty tricks, no content, no plan, no message – business as usual for the RNC and the disappearing GOP.

This ad makes zero sense. You're not caving in or buckling when you agree along party lines. This back and forth political mudthrowing is really getting on my last nerve. Keep this stuff behind closed doors where it belongs.

If the republicans lose their fight to stop health care reform, they can only blame themselves. They offer no solutions and insist on being part of the problem. To them, it is much more important to bust the Obama administration than it is to work toward improving the quality of life for millions of Americans.

Wake Up: Unfettered capitalism is bad; that's why an unchecked system that makes money off people's misery needs to limited or eliminated.

So the Republicans want them to fold under their pressure, this is somehow better than folding to their own party? Typical GOP: You are a rat, a liar, a detestable person, unless you vote exactly like we say then no matter how many affairs you've had, drugs you've took, millions you stolen through ear marks you are a great guy. Perhaps these Blue Dogs agree on principal. I know the GOP doesn't get the concept of "principal" but hopefully the voters in their districts do. It's closely related with "integrity" another world not in the GOP vocabulary, but I hope these men have.

Ahh well. We are just a bunch of sheep. Look WHO we are following ! The "wolf" will EAT US all up. Just you wait and see. We (Not ALL of us ) voted for this administration and you will get what you asked for. In spades. So you can't expect too much of a GOOD LIFE in the future. The way you VOTE should be with intelligence and not with the media's candidate. This is why READING and LISTENING to INTELLIGENT people is so important. I can't understand WHY when we bend over backwards ( si hapaniol ?) to accomadate ALL ethnicities they don't learn. The popular vote was fixed and now they ( the sheep) are still being lead by retoric about health care. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. Everyone has to LIVE his/her own life and following is NOT the way to go. THINK people. Get out and make your own way, don't expect HAND OUTS forever. The END OF THE GRAVY train is near. Look how much DEBT this country owes. WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT? Do you really want the Government to decide when and how you get health care – because THEY are paying for it – NOT YOU ?

Yeah! Let's listen to the GOP and not do anything!!! See how much that costs!

Amazing – suddenly conservatives have decided to care about deficits. Doubling the national debt with an additional $4+ trillion, leaving us with 2 wars (one completely unnecessary and mismanaged), and hiding costs by keeping the wars out of the budget and slipping billions of $ into supplemental spending Bills for 8 LONG years and you never heard a peep out of this bunch of fiscal alarmists.

Yes, it's costing a lot of money to dig us out of this mess! Where were you for the past 8 years? Do you really expect to turn this around in less than a year, even 2 or 3? It will take decades to recover from the Bush years and not just the financial damage.

I find it intresting that CNN would refrence this attack add but refuses to play the one with Lou Dobbs in it.

We don't need to worry about terrorist attacking this country, we have the RNC daily attacks that do nothing but create hatred and tear this country apart..

We don't need to worry about terrorist attacking this country, we have the RNC daily attacks that do nothing create hatred and tear this country apart..

Per Gallup poll information posted on July 29, 2009

44% of Americans say that a new healthcare reform law would improve medical care in the United States. 14% of Americans say it would not change it, and 34% of Americans say it would worsen it.

This is a Gallup poll mind you, not Rasmussen.

The RNC has no useful agenda for the American people. The only reason they exhist at this point is to try and derail President Obama.

remove them. they lied to voters on the order of rahm emanuel.
EMANUEL is the domestic president of USA.

don't be fooled OBAMA is their front man.

NomoreBama? I thought you are heckling in a town hall meeting against the healthcare reforms! by the way did you get the money to fix your over bite jaws?. I think you need Obama more than you think!!

This republican would be happy to pay more taxes for a public option if there is a mandatory drug test and citizenship requirements before any care is adminstered.

If that is required of me to have my health insurance through work, than it should be required for whomever receives it for free.

Obama and the Dems can sign their bad health care bill of theirs today, they got the majority (at least until 2010) but they don't have the guts to without having at least a few Republicans on board to take the fall for them. How many Americans can be insured if Pelosi gave up her 3 new Gulfstream jets?

The President is keeping his promise to provide health care to those who aren't rich and own a company !
I guess those against the Health Care Plan feel that those who can't afford medical care should just DIE!

Wow they really care about the american people!
BTW, I am an Independent Contractor who struggles because rich companies don't want to pay for full time employees so they don't have to give them benefits!

How about they just chose not to be part of the problem and part of the solution? RNC doesnt get it ...lets support reasonable legislation because if things go wrong the great thing about america is every 4 years we get to change the direction of the country and whose in charge!

So if the President does indeed fail lets give him the opportunity to do so. If he succeeds we pat him on the back say good job and reelect him.

What they are really telling blue dogs is "you got money from them, too and you know what you promised to do?" They're all crooks that don't care one bit about the people who put them in there.

The RNC needs to take a look at their own voting records. Absolutely everything that George Bush wanted, congress gave into him, and gave him. So, why shouldn't conservative dems vote with Obama now? Get over yourself Republicans, because you don't run things anymore! You can whine and demand all you want, but we don't need you or your votes!

WHAT IS FUNNY, Is that the Democrats have 60 votes.
YET, they daily blame republicans for the idea of NOT being able to pass health care.
IF ALL of the DEMS actually believed in the crap that Barack was shoveling than WHY cant he get his 60 votes.
BECAUSE MANY DEMS UNDERSTAND that Barack is full of crap and that he is spending our money like the corrupt thief that he is.
He is driving the nation into the ground so that he can force socialism upon us. The true sad part is that 40% of Americans are idiots that like the idea of a Benelovent Dictator taking care of them so that they dont have to think or work hard.
WAKE up people and get off your butts.

Pelosi and Reid have/will offered the Blue Dogs something they want in exchange for voting against the future of the United States' citizens.

I live in Ohio what about all the liberal attack running ion TV here. I voted Obama but I'm mad as H over all the spending and all the politica as usual I take that back worse then usual. I have never been asked to attend a tea party or Democrat talk on Health care but I would like to go and yell at anyone that supports this peace of crap and it is because no one listens to the people. Look at the polls, we do NOT want it

I'll tell you what has buckled and folded: Republican ideas and solutions, the party of "no change".

Republican motto: if it doesn't work, keep doing it!!!

What's scary is that Psycho Pelosi is trying to tell the country what's best for their healthcare...when obviously, she won't have to participate in it; lucky for her, because it won't cover plastic surgery and botox....however, what's even scarier are the liberals who post here, and are blindly in support of a plan they totally ignorant about.....they've....wholeheartedly assumed the sheeple role....

Too bad we can't have two plans; one for the slacker liberals who find it easy to spend others' money...and have it funded by them, and an optional one for responsible conservatives...the true founders and pillars of the country.

The Gangsta Obstructionist Party have nothing left but swiftboating tactics....They are composed of citizens who jump from their little yellow buses and turn into mobsters......Republicans have granny and grandpa mobsters busting loose at townhall meetings.....This insane and uncharacteristic format, was revived by Palin, the 'highly aggitated gal from Ak, when she incited riotous crowds for McCain......What's their beef? .....Blue Dogs are more like them than US.......

When I look at all the comments, it leads me to believe that it is a GOP effort to make the american people believe that no one wants a goverment assisted health care plan.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
I just want to be able to go to the doctor for an antibiotic or to have a broken bone set if it brakes!
People keep talking about not being able to get assistance from a government health care program.
FYI... even with health care insurance the way it is now, we are still told by HEALTH CARE INSURANCE COMPANIES that they wont cover us for some cancer treatments so what is your point?
People wake up, all of the comments against the health care program are being spouted by the GOP and those who follow them.

Do the Republicans think anybody is still listening to the Party of No Ideas? NOT!

Good, each "Blue Dog" is a Judas to the Democrats and even the GOP have no use for them!!!!!

Thank You President Obama for putting country first you are in a real battle right now over Health Care Reform and the Republicans are throwing everything and kitchen sink at you but dont give up because people really need this. And if GOD is in this no devil in hell can stop it. Yes! you could just said forget it i give up and thats what they want you to do give up but you have to endure hardness as a good soldier.And know as long as you are doing the right thing and for the right reason GOD will fight for you so just know that this battle is not yours its the LORDS and HE will WIN!

No, I don't want health care reform.

I want those who don't want it to pick up the tab for the rest of us who agree with them until the rug is pulled out from under us and we are left to tread water on our own or pay those $8000 premiums that we will have to, that is, if we can find coverage at all...

If the Republicans were smart (people, stop snickering!) they would be wooing the Blue Dogs to the other side of the aisle.
Can you imagine the faces of Reid and Pelosi if several Blue Dogs announced they were switching parties?

This imaginary healthcare bill will cost trillions and provide healthcare for imaginary people.

It took 8 years 2 Wars to put our country where it's at today!
I don't see the "Bush" party cheering for what they did or how they left my country!

Yet the people of this great nation have spoken and elected a new party to try and fix the damage made!

Give this "President" at least the 4 years respect, to try and fix the shame and disrespect, that the "Bush" and Cheney administration left us with!
Also I bet the Bush and Cheney family don't have to worried about their mess. Their "Goverment" the Tax payer is footing their bill!

We don’t scream at town hall meetings But we will send massage to RNC by 2010

“Please stay at Home”

For the super power of the world, USA health care systems wasn't even on the top 10 list, what a shame!

So, to those of you out there who are against Obama's health care reform, do you honestly believe allowing a private, FOR-PROFIT industry as the ONLY option is better? The insurance industry continually fights any efforts at regulation, because it affects their profit magin if they are forced to give us adequate coverage and reasonable choice of care. Do you honestly think coverage is not denied when profits are negatively affected? Do you not think that WE ALL pay for those that cannot afford coverage or those that use more coverage than they are paying for? Pull off the blinders! A public option is controlled by US! WE the People. Not them the mega corporations/industry lobbies! Take the country BACK!

Whiny diatribes from the Party of No: no ideas, not a clue

Sean – I am sorry but I flat out don't believe you and your wife make only $20000.00 between you and you manage to feed, clothe, house, and pay for health insurance on it, never mind some form of transportation. If you are going to make up stories to try and make some point – make them believable.

Like a majority of Americans I SUPPORT health care reform, with public option !

Why is that it is too expensive to provide health care coverage for all American citizens, but it was not too much to 'free' Iraq citizens? I would much rather had my tax dollars ($600 billion so far) taking care of Americans than Iraqis.

The Blue Dogs Democrats are dragging down President Obama polls numbers. The Blue Dogs are from smaller population state that don't represent the majority of the Democrats. The Blue Dog has hijack the Democrat. This is not the change I voted for.

Republicans would rather line their own pockets than see any real health care reform. The governments was in charge of sending men to the moon so I am sure they will have no trouble running health care like every other industrialized country in the world. The Republicans should stop taking their talking points from HMO's. And, if CNN had any real journalists they would interview Wendell Potter a former vice president at CIGNA. Bill Moyers interviewed him on his show, and he plainly illustrated the deliberate attempts by the private "health care" industry to discredit the idea of a single payer system, even though they knew they knew their evidence against it was completely fabricated.

This is the most humorous thing I could ever wish to watch! The RNC has to do nothing and the Democratic Party self implodes due to their substantial diversification within same party lines and their inability to have the know how and common sense to implement or come up with a "GOOD" plan. The progressive liberals are so radical and out there in their ideological views that most in their own party are now taking note. It really is quite funny watching them self destruct. I find it amazing that they are aghast at the opposition using their very own tactics against them... Too Freaking Funny! Good bye and Good riddance, America is awakening!

You know, I thought the Blue Dog Democrats on the Finance Committee were brain-dead obstructionists mired in backwards thinking and dated, unworkable "solutions" until I read the RNC's ad. Wow. Suddenly the Blue Dogs are looking pretty good - at least they were willing to constructively engage with moderates and liberals on the issue.

The Republicans, on the other hand, seem to be only good for lying, complaining and insulting the people who are actually trying to get a very difficult job done. "He folded like a lawn chair"? Pleease!

The republicans have hit the nail on the head. Americans don't want Bobo's healthcare or anything else of this admin. The conservatives will take over in 2010 and get everything moving in the right direction. Remember in Nov. of 2010, vote everyone out!!! Especially the democrats!!

I am glad to hear that some of the "'blue dog democrats" have decided it is time to do what is right for the people in their districts. It proves to me that they are doing their job; making sure that ALL Americans have a right to affordable health care.

The Hyper-partisan Obama just needs to bend a little here and this thing will get done!
The folks know that the opposition plan is just better. It was the dems who where the first to jump ship on this plan.

When both Repubs and Dems are both saying it is the wrong plan….good chance they are right.

Instead of slamming these guys, why don't the Republicans tell us what they would do to fix our failed healthcare system? I stopped listening to these boneheads a long time ago. Unless they can say something constructive, they need to keep their mouths shut.

I just read a comment where I guy says he and his wife makes 20K combined a year and he's a republican. This just goes to show you that some people are just plain ignorant. If anyone will benefit from healthcare reform, it's this family. I wonder where in the U.S. can a family making 20k jointly survive.

Blue-Dog Dems are elected in conservative areas where they've convinced the voters they are of like mind. Once the full effect of use fee's, taxes, etc. become known they won't have a prayer in the next election.

What a joke the RNC is. Stupid people saying stupid things. No wonder the country is dumping them. I hope we dump them all.
They want Obama and America to fail. What jerks!!!!

The RNC has NOTHING but attacks, no ideas, no agenda other than to attack, no rallying cry except for 'NO', and it appears not much intelligence.

Us who are in the middle of this health care debate, and those who lean to either side of the political spectrum, would appreciate some intelligent ads from the RNC, perhaps offering some real ideas, alternatives, SOMETHING other than name calling and lies.

We ALL agree the health care system is broken, let's ALL find a way to compromise and get this done. Tell the GOP senators to stop quitting the committees, to stop their lack of discussion, to stop their negative ads. You will never have my vote if all you do is schoolyard namecalling.

We want factual numbers to support the arguments, not who said what or who called whom what. We only care about what comes down to – numbers. Show us the data and numbers and we will compare and choose what is the best plan for us.

This is morally reprehensible. Trying to score political points on the backs of those Americans unable to afford basic quality health care, and doing so through outright dishonesty, fearmongering and misrepresentation.

May every one opposed to real health care reform in this country suffer grievous personal mishap and misfortune...

You want to really fix healthcare? Get the lawyers out of the Dems pockets and restrict the amount these ambulance chasers can go after. Thanks to lawyers who convince everyone that if things don't go absolutely perfect, they can sue, ALL healthcare costs go up. Stop the lawyers and your healthcare situation gets a whole lot better.

Of course if the Obama/Pelosi healthscam does go through, the simplest solution would be to either renounce your citizenship or commit a felony. Because under their plan, illegal aliens and criminals will get all their healthcare needs taken care of.

Hey Barry and Nancy, thanks for looking out for the real Americans.

caved ? How many times republican senators caved at the last minute under geo bush........

republicans lost their constituency in house and senate and now their options is to threaten conservative dems to vote with them. they never believe in diplomacy. if they did, they won't be in this shape.

oh wait they learnt these attack and black mail from their former bosses dick cheney and co.

I just hope they have mental health care in there,I need it badly.Ive got Rush fatigue.

Blue Dogs! Dont worry about their negative attack. You were elected with majority Democrats votes. and Ultimately Republicans always vote against Blue Dogs or Red dogs or whatever kind of Democrats. So you have obligations to the people who elected you....and in future you will be elected by Democrats's votes, not by Republicans..Think about it.

I am sooo sick of the tired, old, arguement that this is all about lazy people who won't work and women with 10 kids and no husband. WE ALREADY PAY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO INSURANCE. Reform is about helping all of us; those who can not work because of illness, cancer, hear disease, strokes, ect; people who have lost their jobs and can't get insurance; under insured people whose low wage jobs don't offer insurance or very poor insuracne. This will help us all keep our country from going bankrupt to the health industry. It will save us money because we are already paying for those who don't have insurance and paying at the very highest rates; because only the uninsured are billed the full price for care. Americans used to stand together and support each other; now it seems like it's every man for himself with greed and profit the only thing that matters. I hope I am wrong because if most Americans can't see that we need to stand together and demand a Public Not for Profit solution; it is the beginning of the end for America as it has been and we will be totally at the mercy of big business.

Everything that this president of our touched goes to hell. Everything that the DNC stands for doesn't work and if people wake up and start paying attention all of America will soon know this. Universal healthcare will not work and the majority of this contry does not want it. Our president should be for the people not for himself.

Blue Dog Dems have no reason to fear, for the immediate future, from the RNC, which really happens to be a spent force with a pantheon of in-fighters over a melange of ideas. All they need is a suitable sobriquet for each one of 'em.

For JR. The post office is bankrupt and wanting to close 1000 post offices!! It's wildly inefficient. It also doesn't compete fairly with private sector as it has no competition on actual mail. Imagine health care which is much more complex. Will govt. cut services when it's broke...YES! Will govt. ration care and tell me what I can and can't do?? YES! Just think about what you are wishing for.

Obama is compiling an "enemies list" – asking Americans to "report" on their fellow citizens if they say or write something "fishy".

REPORT ME!!!

I must be one of those "Crazies" who thinks Government take-over of private industry (auto, bank, healthcare, etc) is a BAD thing!!!

I have been BRAINWASHED into thinking our Countries greatest strenghts are the FREEDOM of entrepeneurial opportunity (become whatever you dream)... and the FREEDOM from a heavy-handed intrusive government.

Yes – I'm one of THOSE lunatics!!

Just look at the Republican ads! We know who the sell outs really are. To the Republicans- it is never about what is good for the people, just big business. They are not worrying about health care – we pay for them and their families. Not only while they are in office but when they leave or retire. No one else I know has this perk, or we wouldn't be talking abour healthcare now. No, most of us will be uninsured soon if the insurance company gets it way. What do all of the complainers and those with health care now believe will happen if the health care bill fails? Do you honestly believe that the insurance companies will be fair and admit everyone and not worry about profits?

I was born an American citizen and traveled with my husband overseas several times. I can truly confirm that their public health care system works and it is a fraction of what we pay for partial coverage here. If the health care bill fails, the citizens will be the loosers. The insurance and pharmaceutical companies will be fine and so will Congress. We will also become the laughing stock of the world and big business, in regards to how we vote against our best interest time and time again. We are becoming afraid of change and have lost our American spirit to fight for our country's future.

Tear their tails up they're selling us Democrats and Republicans down the river. This aged Democrat wants nothing to do with Obama and his crew. If Hillary does not step down soon I will be off her. You notice how Obama tried to take credit away from the Clintons on the Korea affair with the correspondants.

WATCH CNNs poll on how you rate President Obama is going 'thumbs up' IN FAVOR OF our President.

CNN will SQUASH THIS LIKE A BUG........BECAUSE it IS IN FAVOR of Obama

57% THUMBS UP so far!!

Those of us who are gainfully employed and insured are already paying for healthcare for those who don't have any job or insurance. If they are indigent we pay for it with taxes because there is no doctor or hospital out there who is going to give away medical care without some kind of reimbursement. Or if a person is insured and suffers a major illness/accident we still pay for it – our rates and deductibles climb to cover the costs/losses to the insurance company. Since we are going to pay for it – with or without health care reform – maybe we should give health care reform a shot.

Obama has been so sheltered by the gushing media that the truth needs to come out about what an awful president and congress we are stuck with.

Politicians are inherently bad...that is why we need small/limited Federal Govt.

I dont know why everyone is so afraid of a govt plan/option. Its exactly the way our postal system works.. we have the US mail thats cheap enough for every american. However, if you want a better service there is always UPS, DHL, fed ex, etc to choose from.. that system works with no issues so how is that much different than a govt option?

"It happens every time, without fail, once the democrats get in power. They over-step their mandate… and steal defeat from the jaws of victory."

Um Clinton was a two term President, who defeated a one term Bush 41.

Personally I'm tired of both sides in this country. Why do we constantly choose sides in this country rather than choosing who best represents their ideals and who they think will keep their best interests at heart when it matters?

I like the Republican solution to Health Care Reform much better than ObamaCare. Lower costs. Increase competition across state lines and streamline administrative waste.

ObamaCare will make lower quality health care more expensive for the country. How do you sell something like that? You tell everyone that the rich guys will pay for it for all of us and we are really gonna stick it too these bad insurance company guys! And whatever you do...avoid specifics. That could kill the whole deal.

Republicans dishing out the same ole' crap.

The 80% in Favor will be heard loudly and over the screams from paid outsiders coming to Mayberry trying to tell us what to think.We know who lives in our town and who doesnt,and we know just what to do with them.hahaha

The Republican plan is less expensive and it requires that insurance companies be allowed to sell insurance across state lines. It allows us to have portable insurance plans not tied to our employers. It would give us tax vouchers to pay for it. Would provide “light” regulations to ensure consumers are not ripped off. Would allow for more people to pool their insurance together to lower costs. Would provide grants for IT improvements. Best of all it costs less, gives us flexibility and freedom to choose and will lower costs.

What don’t you like about it?

The DNC is making a mockery of themselves as they try and paint the opposition of their health care takeover plan as GOP operatives. People are aware of the costs consequences of increasing demand with no effort whatsoever to increase the number of health care providers. The people showing up on the weekends to tell their members of Congress that they dislike or despise the plan are the people that work during the week and don't have the luxury of being paid lobbyists or unemployable liberals. These are the people that are facing the prospect of massive tax hikes to pay for these programs. They are saying NO and they are saying it loudly. Congress need to respect the peoples anger and resentment and start representing us that pay the bills rather than those that do NOT pay the bills for their largess. No Mas! No Mas!

You mean like how the Republicans "caved in" and "buckled" for big pharma, and big health insurance companies? Just wondering.

GO RNC!!!! Attack with all your might. It is about time that the media shows the truth concerning this administration. Barack's Waterloo will actually be his Alamo shorty. Look at the number of mainstream Americans that do not want Health Care reform because of issues such as costs and less coverage. Obama's favorable rating 50, his disapproval rating 48%. Ummm, bet he will high tail it out of the arena soon. 2010 Change You Can Count On-Republicans!

The party of NO IDEAS, NO SOLUTIONS, AND LIARS can only spread lies, misinformation, disinformation, and drivel. They can only attack others because they have nothing to offer.

Ration people ignore these idiots!

Bottom line is this..........if you were elected as a Democrat then act like one. What's up with this Blue Dog malarky? If you can't stand the heat than get out of the fire.

When are Dems going to realize that no matter what health care reform is produce, no Republican will vote for it. Their plan is to just oppose the president. They have made it clear that this fight is not to give the American people better health care, but to "break" the president.

If you think that paying for a Government sponsored health care policy is bad, how much of your insurance premium is going to pay for those without insurance? 10 years ago I paid no premiums through my company, could see any doctor I wanted and paid nothing out of pocket. Now I pay $2,000 a year and a $15 co-Pay for my doctor and $25 for a specialist if they are on "The List", otherwise it all belongs to me. My HMO boasted of record profits last year. Yeah, the present health care system is working for me.

The RNC never comes at this issue with facts–it's all labels, generalizations and name-calling. The status quo isn't working–both parties agree on that. The vitriolic republicans on here should check their facts. Increasing health care costs will bankrupt this country if they are not addressed.

For every complex and difficult problem, there is an answer that is both simple and wrong.

Also, if you make less than 100k per year, AND you're against health care reform, then you're...um...not that smart. You're actually voting to bankrupt yourself and die early. Shrewd. But by all means, cut your own throats to make a point.

Does the RNC have ANY idea at all how to foster a relationship with possible allies? You don't convince someone who may be swayed to your side by slamming them as hard as you can in public. What raging idiots. As a political centerist and registered independent, I can't believe I ever defended Republicans...

Wow, Congressman so and so, by supporting healthcare reform is actually listening to the majority of his constituents...go figure.

I am tired of Dems and their supporters telling me that I need to keep paying for people that have no desire to help themselves. Telling me its my moral and patriotic duty to pay for the woman who is 10 kids with 10 different guys so she can keep getting welfare. Pay for the man who wants to buy his car and cable TV but not health insurance. My wife and I make $20,000 together and I am not asking the government for anything and I am tired of them asking us for more. Teach people that the best way to prosper is to help themselves not by hand outs.

Please. The RNC is showing their desperation and jealousy of Blue Dogs doing the work of alternative ideas that the GOP fails to provide.

As the RNC continues to divert any responsibility for their actions, the GOP is becoming increasingly irrelevant as a Party of No constructive use in our government.

The Corporate Fascists want us divided and fighting while they continue to prepare us for slavery.Partisonship is nothing more than smoke and mirrors,dont be fooled,just follow the money.They pay these morons like Limbaugh and others to blind us.

Why do Republicans only care about corporate profits? The trickle down theory has been disproved.

Most Americans want health care reform. The plants in the town hall audiences are dimwits who are being used by the rich insurance companies.

Any regular person, not a millionaire, who votes Republican is being duped. All you people who want to 'destroy Obama' etc are not thinking clearly. You are being misled by hate radio and Republican lies.

We don't need any more ads. If Obama's wonderful vision for America hasn't arrive at your house yet it will. None of those Blue Dogs are even going to wander out of their house during the break. They know their constituents are unhappy. This is not a subtle erosion it is a landslide of displeasure against Obamacare.

What's wrong with voting for a bill that tries to provide more Americans with access to affordable healthcare? It's Socialist? Then we should get rid of Social Security and Medicare. It costs too much? Really? We currently pay more for health care than any other country but have a life expectancy slightly higher than Albania.

I’m really starting to lose interest in politics. What does this have to do with what’s best for this country? It’s just a game, on both sides, and the losers are the American people. Maybe they should start wearing gang colors.

Whats wrong with spending money we don't have??

Go Blue Dogs. The only reasonable alternative to liberals. The republican party is dead – or at least it should be. Republicans disgust me with their constant lying, yelling, and whining.

The democrats have stooped to a new low. Chicago politics.

The entire country should be angry about the blackmail and strong-arming this Administration is using to force through legislation.

What an embarrassment.

It amazes me to hear all the name calling against Obama. He is called stupid, un-informed and a nitwit (what ever that is). This from people who more than likely have little or no education like their leaders in the republican party. Rush (the mouth) Limbaugh leader of the republican party wanted someone like him in office. Not able to complete his education with any success. Someone who is able to demonize others that do not think like him. A person who would continue the progression of the national wealth to the people who work the least. Someone like GW or Palin.

This add seems relatively tame compared with the recent dem adds that attacks private citizens and accuses elderly veterans who disagree with Obama of the being “mob!”

Or the fact that Obama's staff are asking for people to turn in anyone who says anything "fishy" about the health plan. Return of the brown shirts?

Did CNN reporting on this little factoid???

Cmon Dems and Independents..Stand up and get counted. Don't let the insurance companies and Republicans take this country down!

It's amazing how many people will pounce on the GOP – just because they are Repubs. So what if they're calling the 4 Blue Dogs out, their constituents should be aware of how they voted. I've changed my voter registration – I'm definitely not a Republican, but can no longer stand to think of myself as a Democrat...

These politicians should have some of the mediocre health care coverage that some Americans have perhaps this might soften their hearts. They instead have excellent health care coverage and of course have no need to worry. Also, all have more than enough money to pay for their own health care.

Flip flopping? Hardly!

Making a decision is a process, especially when considering legislation that will impact millions of Americans. Decisions should be made when all the facts are in and when it is clear what the decision is about.

As elected officials, these Senators did exactly what they should – they weighed and issue, talked to their constituents, were open about their thought process, and then they made a decision. You may not agree with it, but give them credit for trying to determine the right path of action and putting themselves on the line for it.

Let's give our elected officials some room to weigh all sides of the issue and have honest discussion without everyone shouting out about flip-flopping! At this point, our officials cannot even discuss a simple list of pros and cons without being labeled as "for this" or "against that."

Why is it that there is no one from the so-called 72% of Americans going to republican town halls urging them to vote FOR this plan? Is this 72% fictional?? Or are they with Aunt Bea and Opie down at Goober's fillin' station?

Republicans slamming Democrats and President Obama? So when did this become news?

Imagine that, Democrats voting for a democratic bill Yea RNC, that sure is surprising.

The republican leadership needs to grow up! They are worse then hyper six year olds (and probably less educated as well). Even if I were against the Health Care Reform, I would vote for it just because of how down right ridiculous the republicans are acting. These are NOT leaders, they are pathetic, overgrown children. The debris I leave on my toilet paper is worth more then these pieces of human rot!

Republicans are desparate to kill Pres. Obama's health plan.
Hope Americans will understand whose interests are Repulicans
protecting, of course Powerfull Insurance Companies not middle class people. They are trying to scare people with socializam knowing that majority of people do not have a clue what sosializm is about. .
As long they have a good health coverage why to care about poor ones, shame, shame shame.
At time they voted for financing the war in Iraque didn't question how much it will cost not only money but valuable lifes.

If the GOP=Health Care industry get their way and defeat health care reform, will they blame Obama when they cannot afford their own health care?

Larry, you'll have to wait for there to BE a bill before you can get your hands on it.

Actually Barb, the rethugs owned the house and senate for 12 years.

Why doesn't Obama keep his promise when he ran for president, evey american will have the same health care as him, and every member of the government.

Really, the RNC has an ad out that does something...interesting, I'm really impressed

At the end of the day,dear FAIR IS FAIR will still be crying,and I love it.

Yeah, the spending is OK if it's helping the Fat Cats....but don't you dare try to help the poor.

I have read the plan, and it is too much. Fix the broken system, yes, but what they're doing is far too expensive and oversteps the bounds of our federal government.

Let';s also not forget about broken promises...

My comment isn't even “awaiting moderation” although the "librul" CNN claims I've already said it, so I'll post again:

Good for these four blue dogs! There are only five solidly republican states left. If any of these guys are from any of those states, they were damned if they did/damned if they didn't.

Judging from the protesters bused in by big insurance/pharma to disrupt town hall meetings (and in at least one case, physically assault a congressman), the majority would benefit from health care reform.

If reform improves their lives through more affordable healthcare, and they still vote these guys out of office there's no hope for them. Better these blue dogs take one for the team by voting for reform than to be bullied into catering to big insurance/pharma and still lose their seat.

CNN – I DARE you to post this comment!

Obama victim? Only in your uneducated racist mind.

Is there any Republican out there that wants health care?

Is there any Republican out there that, if necessary, will call the socialist 911 number for help? or do you have a alternative plan, which you should have, since you don't want the "socialist government" to be involved with "your" health care.

You trust the government when using 911 for a heart attack but, you won't trust the government when you have the sniffles.

Thats ok everyone of us Independents know that the GOP is only concerned about power not people or country. It will be another forty years before they regain if ever.

RNC= Rush Limbaugh Negative Campaigns. RNC is ran like a school yard infact even kids can do better!. because kids don't always say NO to every idea. RNC lacks intergrity and the Authority to speak on behalf of the Public, the same public they screwed-up for the last eight years.

one thing i've noticed. a sure way to annoy conservatives is to use facts. pretty sad when the truth hurts. i wonder if they'll ever accept reality.

I don't know about anyone else but I've tuned commercials concerning health care out. There are so many lies and deceptions in them.

I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the bill.

Most of these elected officials are in the pockets of the insurance giants. Its immoral to dangle reform in front of the American people and then snatch it away. We are a Darwinian Capitalistc country where people who can afford it get it and the rest suffer and die.

No rational/educated/thinking American listens to what the defunct GOP/RNC, or want's anything to do with them.

They are only speaking to the under-educated right-wing extremist hate groups that need to be told what to think. Even their marketing content is adolescent and childish.

What will NOT change is the fact that over 76% of Americans support President Obama's Health Care Reform with a STRONG Public Option.

I love political discourse. Maybe people will be encouraged to do some research of their own and see which side they agree with.

The RNC are the real jokers, if they know how to fix health care, why didn't they fix it in the 8 yrs they were incharge of the government. It seems that when they have the power to do something they have no ideas but when someone else is trying to fix things they all of a sudden have the answers.

Good! Just remember, all these guys and other "Robots" can blindly follow Obama all the way to the "cliffs edge".......but there WILL be a "PAY DAY" some day!

And what's wrong with telling the truth? These Reps allowed themselves to get strong-armed by Pelosi (and I'm sure Rahm had some work in it too). They let the will of Obama and Pelosi outwiegh the will of the people who elected them to the office they hold. In the end though, they'll only have themselves to blame when they are voted out of office.

Strange, I thought one of the things Obama promised was no more 'business as usual' as he put it. Well, I guess if being crooked is good enough for Illinois, it's good enough for the U.S.

America just has to eek it out until 2010. Then we'll vote the Dems out and start real change, for the GOOD of ALL America. Then we'll kick out comrade Obambi in 2012.

Everybody knows these 'protests' are staged. Even the daily show followed the money back to the insurance lobby and had copies of the protest forms. Personally if my taxes go up, so what.....it will STILL be cheaper than the 450% increase I had in health care cost the past 8 years!!

Those of you against fixing a broken system...eventually you will wind up on the losing side of health care, it's not 'if' it's 'when'. As far as the scare tactics by the GOP, it's simple...go read about Denmark's health care and make your OWN opinion.

Bad Dogs! We need representatives who are in the center for the people, not the far left and far right loons. Pelosi and Obama are so far left it isn't funny, they don't give a crap what we the people want, they do what they want, when they want, while bankrupting this country. Waiting for Pelosi to declare spanish the language of California.

make congress and senate pay for there own health care they can well afford to

I sent some money in to keep running those adds. My relatives in Ohio would love to hear about Space folding to that Hack Nancy Pelosi. That woman is revolting. Wonder who the Great Unifier will insult today.

It is going to be hilarious in November,2010 to look at the democrats scratching their heads... saying "what happened?".

It happens every time, without fail, once the democrats get in power. They over-step their mandate... and steal defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dumbocrats should apologize to the nation for electing this nitwit administration and they should never be allowed power ever again.

nail these guys.........stop this and we destroy Obama....YES

I'm so tired of the RNC and their useless and baseless ads. Contribute to the debate or kick rocks. I'm wondering how low can the GOP go.
