Comments on: Obama and the drug lobbyists https://thenewneo.com/2009/08/08/obama-and-the-drug-lobbyists/ A blog about political change, among other things Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:01:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Wolla Dalbo https://thenewneo.com/2009/08/08/obama-and-the-drug-lobbyists/#comment-120617 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:01:11 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2009/08/08/obama-and-the-drug-lobbyists/#comment-120617 Check out this horrifying summary of the contents of the Health Care Bill that somebody has put up on Twitter (http://tinyurl.com/m29z46).

To make sure the bill contains what this blogger says it contains, you can read the cited pages. I know legislative language can be pretty daunting, but persevere.

This posting must have hurt, ’cause various opponents of people knowing what is in this bill have apparently already dredged around and found and divulged his personal information on Twitter.

Yeah… same as Canada. The politicians and wealthy don’t use the crap public system.

It is very clear that all of Obama’s statements come with an expiration date.

Union guys are often pretty sensitive to that sort of thing, even though they may in fact be exempted.

“We need to tax the Reds with this.”

On another level, a chant for the rallies should be to tell the union guys ‘we will put you on public healthcare with us… next time we win… stop it now’

Their Messiah cut a backroom deal with those evil capitalists and their running dog lobbyists. Perhaps we can generate some nice fraticidal red-on-red internecine bloodletting.

“Once an office holder has established a reputation for untrustworthiness and untruthfulness, for making deals, breaking them, and denying they were ever made in the first place, parties will shy away from entering into discussions with that figure or those representing him.”

Obama’s reputation “for untrustworthiness and untruthfulness, for making deals, breaking them, and denying they were ever made in the first place” began on the national scene sometime around February 2008. Some how this guy remains unscathed.

To which I made the following comment:

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America for their skill, dedication, innovation and determination in creating the pharmacuticals and techniques that have saved and improved millions and millions of lives in the United States and throughout the world.

I know it’s sad. I need to get a life, but I just love messing with these clowns. The responses I got were pathetic. Personally, I’d recommend everyone here get an account, mess with these guys, then boycott their sponsors.

“Neo: The “Politico” and NYT stories to which you linked were yesterday’s stories. As soon as they came out our “progressives” began to protest, and as of this morning the Obama administration has backed away from the “$80 billion cap” deal with big pharma, in fact to insist that there never was a deal in the first place:”

Too funny. 🙂 I stuck up for the Whitehouse a tiny bit by saying this was a pragmatic move on the Obama admin’s part that might not destroy the pharm industry compared to what the idiot progressives might do… and he backs down to the base / idiot progressives the next day.

“They’ve all already cut their backroom deals with Emir Hussein. Bastards.

We’re screwed, folks. Like, totally.”

I’m hearing some of them are backing out. They made the deals under duress and now that they see the polls…..
