THE TEA PARTY & THE CIRCUS – Final Healthcare Reform Protest
PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO. On March 16, 2010, Tea Partiers from around the country gathered (in disappointing numbers) in front of the Capitol building for their final protest against health care reform. Also in town, appropriately, was Barnum & Bailey’s actual circus. The protestors voiced their usual conspiratorial concerns about healthcare reform: that it was a government takeover and more government, of course, equals less freedom; that it would euthanize seniors too expensive to treat; and that the bill would sink the nation into irrecoverable debt, despite its actually reducing the deficit by more than $100-billion over the next ten years. Averse to facts, no one interviewed was able to cite evidence for their false beliefs about the reform proposal, and instead suggested we seek the “truth” from Glenn Beck and Fox News. THE PROPOSAL The healthcare reform proposal being advanced in congress, while imperfect, would bring long overdue changes to a broken system. Far from being rushed, the proposals that make up this reform have been debated for years, and this congress has been working on a bill for many months. It’s time for an up or down vote on reform. The proposal will expand healthcare access to over 30-million uninsured Americans, make healthcare more affordable for everyone, hold insurance companies more accountable, end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and help stabilize our budget and economy by reducing the deficit by over …
@HopeForPeaceNow we’re already seeing it.
@XxUrSoLoStxX Yes, you wanna see masses of homeless? The elderly with no care? No pensions…no security… I bet you do.
@HopeForPeaceNow i actually want it to collapse.
@XxUrSoLoStxX “spending is never the solution,” Yes, that’s what they tell you. In FACT THE ONLY TOOL we have for the level of destruction of 2008 WAS SPENDING! Yes, let’s have 30% unemployment and make sure everyone looses half their pensions…. “let them fail” HA! Was THAT the change you wanted? Total economic colapse? Did you think we should NOT pay the TRILLION in SWAPS that we owed? What – just FLIP OFF EUROPE AND ASIA – sorry – Americans in Armani suits fucked you… oh well too bad!
This is fucking *HILARIOUS*
How stupid are these people? Do they not realise how much fucking money the private healthcare companies are making off of people?
The last WHO report with the rankings of the best healthcare in the world list the following countries which have GOVERNMENT RUN healthcare systems: France (#1), Italy (#2), United Kingdom (#18), Canada (#30) and Australia (#32) – where is the US? At #37, just above Slovenia and Cuba.
Your healthcare sucks.
Down with Fox News & Glenn Beck.
These guys are doing really well for the pro-Obama fans….I think they should ask for appearances on O’Reily, Beck, or any other of those “Fox” news shows filled with hate and propoganda….etc. etc. etc. that would be fun to watch them tear into those silly conservatives with so many invalid points.
@HopeForPeaceNow spending is never the solution, it doesn’t matter what it’s for. The proper way to handle a business that fails is bankruptcy and liquidation whether it be bush or obama giving a bailout. The meltdown that came was in the making long before bush. Do some research on clinton and the federal reserve and who obama was working for during the clinton years.
i love how they keep saying “i dont believe, they dont believe” this isnt a matter of BELIEF its a matter of facts
@XxUrSoLoStxX
Did Obama spend because the is a socialist, or because of the Economic Global Meltdown of 2008?
LEAVE ELEPHANTS ALONE!!! LEAVE ELEPHANTS ALONE!!
@MiniHitman then what are you waiting for?
@HopeForPeaceNow that still doesn’t give obama a pass to act like the next kid in a candy store. When you go to the dictionary and look up the word 180 obama is the first description. I don’t disagree with you about people being silent but the masses were still sleeping until people like ron paul spoke the truth. Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
@XxUrSoLoStxX Ummm, that still does not answer why TPers didn’t protest then?
Bush made the America Obama became President of in 2009. Complete with stupid war for $3 trillion, 500,000 dead, going from $5 to $10 TRILLION in debt for no reason (weren’t those the gravy years?) passing the largest unfunded entitlement program of all time, Medicare Part D… WHY didn’t all these guys protest any of that?
@HopeForPeaceNow i’m just saying, yes bush did go on a spending spree but does that make it right for this admin to follow and surpass bush’s spending? Bush did do one thing and that’s show the world and future presidents that they can do whatever they want. Bush made obama
@XxUrSoLoStxX
The question is why did Conservative s NOT object to spending when Bush was turning a deficit surplus into doubling the debt?
I am not one who supported one spender, but calls the next one a Communist.
That’s the way the ruling class operates in society. They divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other, so that the rich can run off with all the money. Simple thing, happens to work. You know, anything different, that’s what they’re gonna talk about. Race, religion, ethic and national background, jobs, income, education, sexuality. Anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank.

@photolitherland you’ve been teabagged?
@MiniHitman and every other main stream media
@joykim1999 very original
@HopeForPeaceNow where were you.
@johnbiz1 I’ve been to several foreign nations as early as my 20s when I was in college. No matter what I do I can’t possibly divide the nation as much as those guys whose programs you probably jerk off to (Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc etc). Actually, I read about this term first when reading Malcolm Xs autobiography as a child. I know a traitor when I see one.
@GOPSUX100 LOL yep. While sitting in their penthouses drinking champagne.
i think they are modern kkk
@HopeForPeaceNow That is exactly what I keep saying!
@tylerchambers0
