Ryan on This Week is just twisting his undies in knots over healthcare and has introduced

[Skidmore]

the new new R buzzwords this morning. Keeps referring to the first step to a "government takeover" and put out there that the Rs will repeal ACA in its entirety if they win congress in the fall. He also started referring to access to healthcare as now being a government "entitlement" as opposed to the R interpretation? of rights as "natural and god given." Push back hard, people. This mean little bastard and his like are just unbelievable in their lack of grace and empathy.

Also, Stephanopolous is sooooo disgusting. He spent a full five minutes trying to get Jack Lew to say that the penalty for those who could afford to buy healthcare insurance but decide not to is a tax.

1. Stephanopoulos is a corporate shill, a tool.

I can't stand any of the msm anchors and pundits.

2. yup that is the repuke platform, against healthcare, against civil rights, social security and

medicare, and believe if you don't have republican think you are a traitor

Never have the issues been clearer, nor have the choices

as far as ryan's prediction the aka will be completely overturned if the repukes take over congress, I would like to remind that beady little bastard, that if Obama is the president, fuck you ryan

3. It's a test

to see how self-destructive we've become as a nation.

4. An entitlement?

Let him look at how much I pay every month for health insurance and then call it an entitlement. It's by far my biggest monthly expense. How is that an entitlement?

Geeze, what an assclown.

10. It is an entitlement if you are a member of Congress. n/t

7. You beat me to it

Rob Zerban is running a well organized, energetic campaign. Help retire Ryan by sending Rob a few bucks if you can. I love to think about how Rove and Limbaugh and the folks on Fox will take it when Ryan loses in November!

8. And in 2014 ...

Members of Congress will start getting their health care coverage through the exchanges, just like many of us. How about that?
