Dem congressman to GOPer at Obamacare hearing: “Are you really serious!?”

[DonViejo]

Rep. Bill Pascrell absolutely loses it during a House hearing on Obamacare

BY ELIAS ISQUITH

While today’s Obamacare hearing may not have shed much light on the workings of the law, it did teach us this much: New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell likes to stand up when he yells at Republicans.

And during Tuesday’s hearing on Obamacare, that’s just what he did. First Pascrell pointed his finger at Republicans for their unwillingness to cooperate with the implementation of Obamacare, contrasting the GOP’s behavior over the past three years with that of the Democratic Party in the years following the passage of George W. Bush’s Medicare Part D.

“What did we do [after Medicare Part D passed]? We went back to our districts, and we told our seniors that although we voted no, we personally believe, and will work with the Bush administration, to make it work. That’s what we did!”

Pascrell then stood up and yelled at the Republican members of Congress attending the hearing, “And how many of you stood up to do that? None! Zero! Zero!”

5. Yes, but when are the Democrats going to accept the fact that Republicans don't

accept losing. Hey, if all politics are local I can tell you that at the municipality level they cheat, lie and skirt the rules just so they can stay on top. You can point out where they're legally deficient and it doesn't matter. It really doesn't.

7. You could get 500,000 people in the streets of D.C. ...

... and the mainstream media wouldn't show it and the rest of the people of the USA would never know. But, by golly, if you get a bunch of Democratic Congressmen and Senators up on their feet pointing out the insanity of the Republican Party, Voila! Someone hears it! More power to 'em! Keep it up!!!! That's what I call democracy!
