Call ’Em Out: House GOP
Posted by Cloe Axelson on November 13, 2009 at 01:02 PM
The Call 'Em Out series continues this week -- and this time we’re calling out the House GOP.
All but one Republican member of the House voted against health insurance reform last Saturday. During the 12-hours preceding the vote, GOP members stood at the podium spouting lie after lie in a last ditch effort to kill reform.
Watch our video showing all of the outrageous lies from the House debate -- and debunking each one.
The video takes on the five most outrageous lies – that reform would result in a government takeover, add to the deficit, hurt small businesses, kick people off their insurance and cut Medicare - and debunks each one. Watch it below.
GOP House members featured in the video: Michelle Bachman, Marsha Blackburn, John Boehner, Kevin Brady, Dave Camp, Eric Cantor, Geoff Davis, Mary Fallin, Sam Graves, Jeb Hensarling, Wally Herger, Jack Kingston, John Kline, Thaddeus McCotter, Candace Miller, Jeff Miller, Mike Pence, Ted Poe, Tom Price, Paul Ryan, John Shimkus, Mark Souder and Ed Whitfield.

AARP? Small Business Majority? Are you kidding? AARP makes profit off of medigap, and Small Business Majority has 0 small businesses as members. That's not much of a majority.
I don't see my comment. Did you delete it?
Are you aware that the ACS pannel who made the statement that women should wait until 50 to get their mammograms, that that ACS pannel was appointed by Bush. Yep, they are Republican.
And when did they come out with their so-called-findings?
During the time when the Health Care Reform was being discussed in the Senate. During the time when more and more support for the Health Care Reform was beginning to show among the people.
And what claim did the Senate Republicans make today against the Health Care Reform?
That the ACS pannel's statement was proof of what government would be doing to everyones Health Care.
Of Course everyone forgot to mention that the ACS Pannel was appointed by Republican president Bush. Which would lead me to believe that their bogus findings in their statement was just a disguise to sway anger against the Health Care Reform.
Does the ACS pannel have a political agenda? They were appointed by a Republican President, which makes me think that they are Republican. So my answer would be, "You Betcha!"
