— DrewM Meet Congressman Phil Hare (D-IL). He actually appears to be dumber than the guy who is worried about Guam capsizing.
Very rarely has so much stupid been packed into just a little more than 3 minutes.
Now meet Bobby Schilling, he's the Republican running against Hare.
The district is a Democrat leaning one but not by an insurmountable margin (D+3). It's right next door to the district that's home to Caterpillar's corporate HQ, so I'm guessing the whole $100 million in health care charges thing might come up a time or two during the campaign.
I hope the congressman enjoys his moment in the limelight.

in 1969, Phil took his first job at the Seaford Clothing Factory in Rock Island. During the 13 years he cut lining for menÂ’s suits there, Phil served as a union leader and as the President of UNITE HERE Local 617. He also served six years in the U.S. Army Reserves. These experiences gave him the determination to always fight for working families and veterans.

Life? Hell NO It Funds Abortion!
Liberty? Hell NO! Where is the Liberty in a Federal Mandate!
Happiness? Where is the Happiness in getting raped by the Federal Government against our will? and to make it worse being forced to pay them for the anal raping!
It also says int he Declaration of Independence about the "consent" and the will of the people..
-----------
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Well, let's review. Your first act as a Congressman is to swear to uphold the Constitution. And now you say that you don't worry about the Constitution. I see 2 choices. 1) brain damaged, or 2) liar. Pick one.

Okay so Hank Johnson has a facebook page. Here's his most recent post:
1 DAY LEFT IN 1st QUARTER: Help Hank finish strong with your $10 contribution today.
Here are the responses:
-- We are at the tipping point!
-- Hank, I so wanted to contribute, but I had an unfortunate accident at home. You see, a friend came to visit and I opened the door for him and, unfortunately, with both of us on the same end of the house, it tipped over and capsized! I never would have though this could happen, it's not a houseboat, or even a mobile home. If I can right my house and find my checkbook before November, I'll send you $1.82 because we need more uneducated mindless comedians in DC (as Michigan proved with their election of Al Franken)
-- Time to retire, I think.
-- Hank, I would love to help you with my $10 but the island I was on capsized and my cash floated away. Sorry, dude.

More nuggets of retardation from the treasonous dems.
This asswipe should have spoken to the chairman of the House judiciary committee who would have told him that it's in "the good and welfare clause".
If such ignorant people can't be removed from Congress, can we get them involuntarily committed? They are all nuts. Clinically.
BTW, it's "life, liberty and property" in the Constitution ... twice. But, most dems are illiterate, so it doesn't matter what any document says.
I find it hard to express what this jerk really deserves, but it should be long and painful.

The Constitution is an agreement between the governing and the governed.
If the governing have abandoned their end of the deal - accepting the restrictions on their power in the Constitution - there is no moral or legal reason for the governed to abide by their end.
It seems liberals are seriously willing to risk everything to steal a few more dollars from us then they were getting during the Bush era...

I care more about the people that are dying everyday without health care.
This has always struck me as a colossally stupid way to think of human mortality.
First of all, simply giving people health insurance does not necessarily mean they have access to good health care. If I'm alone on a mountain with a busted leg and a blizzard blowing in, all the health-care insurance in the world isn't going to do shit to save my life. And I'm I'm out of my insurance network, on vacation, or have a certain kind of illness or injury, my insurance may not cover the problem.
But more importantly, granting universal health-care insurance is akin to putting fancy wallpaper over walls with rotting beams. You go on thinking everything is hunky-dory until the house falls down. The key to living a long and healthy life is altering your personal behavior -- avoiding risky activities, eating right, getting exercise. You could go to the doctor every single day and get every test under the sun, but you could still die of a heart attack at 35 if you don't eat right.
This is when the authoritarian impulse that always runs like a river in the Democrat heart will begin to surface. If people won't act right, why, you must force them. For their own good, of course! It's already happened with smoking, and is in the process of happening with foods like sugar and trans-fats. "Health care", in this Democrat universe, becomes a complete abdication of your personal life to the ungentle ministrations of D.C. bureaucrats.

Indeed: the way ObamaCare purports to address the issue will increase demand for health care services while perpetuating and expanding the disincentives that drive doctors out of the profession. So the supply of health care services will decrease and -- guess what? -- the price will inevitably go up.
At the same time, in the name of "fairness," those of us with gold-plated Cadillac health care plans will either have to pony up big new taxes or take reduced coverage with reduced benefits -- exposing us to more risk and more chance of being bankrupted by unexpected health care costs.

Every gentleman of the South understands quite implicitly, that any low lying, yellow bellied coward from Illinois, would need to immediately be administered a beating of the most savage, and thorough kind.
Though I may be arrested for such an assault, even though it was roundly deserved, I would at once, and again repeatedly, hammer this yankee into the floor with such enthusiasm, that people all around would immediately assume I was John Henry himself come to lay a hundred miles of track.

25. Places that succumb to the Arabs are quickly ruined.
[...]
The reason for this is that (the Arabs) are a savage nation, fully accustomed to savagery and the things that cause it. Savagery has become their character and nature. They enjoy it, because it means freedom from authority and no subservience to leadership. Such a natural disposition is the negation and antithesis of civilization. All the customary activities of the Arabs lead to travel and movement. This is the antithesis and negation of stationariness, which produces civilization. For instance, the Arabs need stones to set them up as supports for their cooking pots. So, they take them from buildings which they tear down to get the stones, and use them for that purpose. Wood, too, is needed by them for props for their tents and for use as tent poles for their dwellÂings. So, they tear down roofs to get the wood for that purpose. The very nature of their existence is the negation of building, which is the basis of civilization. This is the case with them quite generally.
Furthermore, it is their nature to plunder whatever other people possess. Their sustenance lies wherever the shadow of their lances falls. They recognize no limit in taking the possessions of other people. Whenever their eyes fall upon some property, furnishings, or utensils, they take it. When they acquire superiority and royal authority, they have complete power to plunder (as they please). There no longer exists any political (power) to protect property, and civilization is ruined.
Furthermore, since they use force to make craftsmen and professional workers do their work, they do not see any value in it and do not pay them for it. Now, as we shall mention, labor is the real basis of profit. When labor is not appreciated and is done for nothing, the hope for profit vanishes, and no (productive) work is done. The sedentary population disperses, and civilization decays.
Furthermore, (the Arabs) are not concerned with laws. (They are not concerned) to deter people from misdeeds or to protect some against the others. They care only for the property that they might take away from people through looting and imposts. When they have obtained that, they have no interest in anything further, such as taking care of (people), looking after their interests, or forcing them not to commit misdeeds. They often level fines on property, because they want to get some advantage, some tax, or profit out of it. This is their custom. It does not help to prevent misdeeds or to deter those who undertake to commit (misÂdeeds). On the contrary, it increases (misdeeds), because as compared to getting what one wants, the (possible financial) loss (through fines) is insignificant.
Under the rule of (the Arabs), the subjects live as in a state of anarchy, without law.Indeed, places that succumb to the dems are quickly ruined.

I can vote...but my district isn't one of the ones that's giving people fits, and it also doesn't have that large of a population. But I have heard that the county over is letting their university students vote in their elections...a lot of those students are from (drum roll) Chicago. I wonder if they also get to vote in their home districts as well?

If Catepillar moves jobs to China thanks to this idiot admin, and Deere closes a few shops -- well, the Dems will lose quite a few votes.
I know this is racist and perhaps wrong -- but the Dems are increasingly looking at the Black, Latino, and Middle Eastern vote in IL...and dumbass college types, mustn't forget those. They've been slowly frakking the union workers over the past 15 years (in a noticable way, not so hidden like before), at a level they used to use for farmers, right to workers, and small businessmen; now, the union votes aren't a dead certainty -- they're pulling out all the stops to use the race card and the kiddie card.

And if it meant getting rid of this sort of thing...well, that's a sacrifice I'm willing make. I can always watch on tv.

If it were just free, they'd all be jumping on it. Since it's not, they'll wait for the messiah to save them ... in four years ... or not, if we can help it.
Why can't we impeach some of these fuckers for going against their Oath?

How about from the Cook Political Report? (pdf)
Yeah it went big for Obama but it was on +3 for Kerry so I think Obama's big win had a lot to do with him being the home town guy.
It will be a hard district to win but it's the kind you pick up in wave elections.
We'll see.

The point was that the bill wasn't available for long enough for this guy to have read it 3 times. If each page takes a minute then there is no way he could have read it---he was lying and he knew it.
It's like me saying I read Atlas Shrugs last night. Couldn't happen. If I said that, it would be a lie and an obvious one.
You could only say that to people who have no idea how big the bill was and didn't know how long it was available to be read.

Are you kidding? Of course the guy didn't read the bill. No one read 2500 pages of legalese - and certainly not the 12 different versions (ranging from 1200 pages to 2700 pages) so any of these scumbags who claims that he did is obviously a liar. But, if you want to call him an imbecile, instead, I'm okay with that.
These slimebags deserve NO RESPECT AT ALL. NONE. They are scum and need to be treated like scum.
If people got some balls and started talking about what a total imbecile the Indonesian Imbecile, Mr. "profit and earnings ratios", Mr. "reduce your premiums by 3000%", Mr. "Austrian", ... is, then this whole nightmare would be coming to a quick end. To treat these retarded scumbags like normal, sentient humans is exactly the wrong tack to take. They are what they are and it would help if people started confronting them with the fact taht we all know it.
Hare is a retarded liar and needs to be publicly called that at every opportunity until he is too embarrassed to walk out of his house.

The dumb fucker who is only debasing the Presidency actually said this in his State of the Union address:
"We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution, the notion that we're all created equal..."

Ha! His congress pin. There must be something nefarious there.
A few years ago when my oldest was a freshman in high school we took him to the restaurant to meet his date for homecoming. He Dad shows up and has on a pin. He was a serious dick, "I'm picking up my daughter at 10--don't know how your son is getting home." My husband, always trying to be nice, asks him about his pin. He says, "Phi Beta Kappa". I burst out laughing. What a douchebag. Yeah, you're cool.

That admission that he violates his oath to protect and defend the Constitution (beautifully honed in on by the videographer) ought to be enough to have him tossed from Congress, immediately.

317 KidCare is a joke. It's a reason why some doctors, dentists, you name it are leaving IL. KidCare hasn't paid it's bills for at least the past 6 years (and it hasn't been around that long -- 10 or 11 I think). If your kid is on KidCare expect to get emergency room service and a notice from a debt collector -- the hospitals are sending their bills to debt collectors rather than to KidCare; they figure they can get it out of the clients a dollar at a time and still get paid more quickly.
The sad part is that a lot of people who got laid off or are unemployed in this state went onto KidCare because it was supposed to be supplemental insurance where you got some choice as to your own doctor and either use the insurance you had and/or pay a small payment and then KC would pick up the rest. Plus, you could get off the program when your circumstances improved, or move to a higher paying bracket within the program and get more options of provider. Sounded great and not like welfare -- a lot of people signed up for it (and I might add a lot of people with good jobs and 3000 sq ft. homes, two new cars in the drive, and who should not have been allowed to get on state run health insurance). Before too long nobody was taking KidCare...and the state just sent you a letter stating that after perusing your family income (how they got it? well that's a mystery) your kids were automatically enrolled in the program. I should know, I got one -- and haven't been able to get off of it ever since (and while we're not loaded, we're hardly poor, and have our own insurance, wtf???). The bastards still send me letters and little cards and reminders to take my kids to the doctor.
I'm kinda guessing that's how this healthcare scam will go down.

In some cases, I agree, but in this case, it didn't work out because he got up and left.
You and I don't need ANY convincing that the guy is a liar and an idiot, and I would happily call him that.
BUT, there are still some people who might be at the tipping point. I think a couple more minutes and questioning would have backed him into a corner that made him REALLY look stupid. Instead, calling him a liar may make those people say 'oh see how these people are acting' and make them DISLIKE us simply because we were rude (even though the point IS valid).
We have to make it so that it is completely obvious that the guy is an idiot, and it has much more impact if he is the one to make himself look stupid.
I just think a lot was left on the table in proving what a moron and POS this guy is because he was run off too soon.
Now, if they start to get combative, THEN it's time to turn up the rhetoric.
It's like trying to argue facts, and someone pulls out the anecdotal story. We need these videos to be our anecdotal story - something that really resonates with people that see it. People will forget your facts, but your anecdotal story will stay with them.

You don't give respect to those who haven't earned it, no matter the position that they might have slimed themselves into. No one is served by treating retards as if they had brains.
I will not suffer fools gladly, and no one should ask me to. And these are criminal fools who are destroying the greatest nation that has ever existed. They deserve nothing but scorn and contempt - publicly and loudly.

too many people have NO idea WHY he should care; how many people do we know that think this healthcare bill is bad, but, for some reason, still think the Federal Government has all sorts of authority to do 'things'.
It just doesn't mean anything to many people, and, worse, he's saying that he is doing what he is doing because he 'cares'. People hear that and think 'well, that is good'. 'Caring' ends up being the trump card because a lot of us have been conditioned that 'caring' is more important that 'rule of law'.
The idea is to catch him in that lie: If you care so much, why did you pass a bill that does nothing for people you 'care' about for at least 4 years, while hurting our economy by levying taxes NOW.
I doubt any of us need convincing; that he made that statement is enough for me to say 'this guy should be tried for treason'.

This guy was just LOOKING for a reason to extract himself from that situation, and he found it. Notice how quick he was to get up and leave when called a liar.
I saw the same thing from the Jason Matteras/Al Franken video the other day. Franken was LOOKING for a way to get out of really answering the question, and he found it.

The schools do nothing but produce more of the same. How long do y'all figure you can string this out before the left has final victory?
Posted by: Rat Patrol at April 01, 2010 06:21 PM (dQdrY)
So, when the riff-raff calls him out, never mind the outright particular lie about how many times he "read" the bill, and gets it on tape that a) we know he's lying, b) we know he didn't understand the bill, c) we know he passed law he didn't know, d) we know he has no concept of his responsibilities and duties, and e) we know he'll flee when confronted with citizens who dare question (even if aggressively) their employee, I'd say the riff-raff did its job. Kudos.
The Congressman's primary job is to uphold the Constitution by representing his constituents. He failed. It's on tape. Good. Decorum or not, he has been exposed. Enough with this foolishness we have infesting places of legal authority. These empty suits in office insult the public and their seat so badly that they make decorum impossible.

I don't know what your attachment to politeness is, but the dems view politeness as weakness. They haven't earned anyone being polite to them. They should be treated the same way they treat this nation.
This guy was just LOOKING for a reason to extract himself from that situation, and he found it. Notice how quick he was to get up and leave when called a liar.
So what? The damage was done. And having him called a liar to his face was the perfect ending to it. You might not think so, but having someone call a Congressman a liar has a very serious effect that you cannot achieve with all the politeness in the world.

Mattera did just fine in that interview. O'Reilly (who doesn't understand jack about any of this) was wrong and so are you. Franken looked like the arrogant fool he is. If Mattera had been polite, Franken would have come off like a normal person, which he isn't.
The display of a lack of respect for these turds is important. Very, very important. They show a lack of respect (and no politeness) to everything of value in this nation, so they deserve to be treated in kind. It makes more of an impact, too.
You don't treat scum as if they were respectable people and you don't treat nasty retards as if they were people with integrity. I don't know why you don't understand this.
The Indonesian Imbecile has been making a total fool of himself, daily, since he got into office, but that hasn't sunk in with the public, yet, because people continue to be polite to someone who laughs at the kid gloves. If Krauthammer and some others would start talking about how truly stupid the guy is, things would change quickly, but they are scared to, and we all, and our nation, suffer for it.

I would have argued that some parents can pay, some parents cannot. But to entrust all of them and their care to a government that without-a-doubt cannot pay isn't a step up, and we are about to learn this in the worst way possible.

Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

First : "I don't care about the constitution" is a clear violation of his Congressional oath!
Second: "I believe in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" is in the Declaration of Independence knot-hole, not the Constitution.
And by the way, that's a hoseshit tie you're wearing, too, you self-congratulatory prick.

In the video he also said that he spent 6 years in the military. Sounded a bit odd and I wondered what branch. Turns out that he spent 6 years (69-75) in the Army Reserves. As far as I can tell, none of that on active duty other than meetings and 2 week training camps. He would have become eligible for the draft in 1968 which was the heaviest year of the draft and of Vietnam. At the time he was a HS grad working as (apparently) unskilled labor in a textile mill. He seems to have had no skills or education of note. Prime draft fodder in other words.
Yet, in 1969, a particularly heavy draft year, he seems to have managed to get into the reserves. I wonder whether he had political connections that kept him out of the Army? I wonder if he had political connections that got him into the Reserves?
Remember, when Bush went into the Reserves, and actually spent quite a bit of time on active duty flying a very dangerous airplane, he was a draft dodger. According to the media. (Not according to me)
I am sure that eventually the press will point out that Hare was a draft dodger as well.
