Anderson Cooper Takes Shot at GOP Rep..This isn't Fox News.




You can see how a journalist works. And he defines that for this puke.
Watch the whole thing and see. He does say, "This isn't Fox News" in this interview"
The puke denies everything Anderson brings up, but any thinking person will see thru this idiot.

Did Nancy Pelosi ever shut down the government? Did Nancy Pelosi ever not raise the debt ceiling as George W. Bush requested so that the government could pay its bills?

The jab at Fox was nice, but that asshole still got away with a ton of shit. The Republicans are extremist maniacs and that was footsie.

"Congressman, you have to decide - oyster crackers or saltines with your soup?"

Wait...... How about: "Since you've sent all federal workers home for now, what else do you and your conspirators have to do besides VOTE? You had NO problem wasting millions to vote - time after time - to rescind Obamacare. So - what's the holdup now??? What else are you folks doing with all this idle time that justifies NOT taking a vote????"

The bill's in your court dweeb.

Prove it! Unless they're scared?

That should be the Dem statement repeated far and wide until we get a vote.

Dems should be yelling this far and wide. Whattya got to lose Mr. Speaker? The worst would be that you prove your silly contentions are correct - and thereby shame the Dems! C'mon Johnny! Let your people vote!

ACA passed "...through some procedural tricks"?!? Cooper did give this guy plenty of rope to hang himself, but he's not a journalist, by any stretch of the definition.

The reason the repukes are the majority in the house is because of shady redistricting. Dem's got more congressional votes but because of unethical redistricting the repukes won.

the House doesnt mean bills previously passed are to be voided. He should have said that there are procedures to repeal a law. Of course the REpukes have tried over and over and failed.

Anderson is one of the few journalists on corp-media other than MSNBC.

To change his last name, Labrador. What a crock of crap he's trying to pull on CNN. Between denying that a central issue for Romney was "repeal obamacare", I heard it all the time. Labrador hedges on allowing a vote on the matter preferring to justify this hostage action. One other comment burned me up: along the lines of "we can't just sit and allow the democrats what they want".. LOL! As though they've allowed practically any helpful measures to the american public to pass since taking the house...
Love me some Anderson Cooper! pp'd: "Why not just do your job!!!"
