Once again, the donk insistence that they WIN every discussion never ceases to amaze me. There is no logical connection between how much money we're "wasting" on our military and how much money they're proposing to waste on government run healthcare. None. Zip. Nada. D1B didn't GET me. He didn't have any logical argument to support his cause, so he went off on some half-assed tangent that had NOTHIZNG to do with the discussion at hand. Typical donk strategy, when confronted with facts....throw up a smoke screen, start screaming about the military and the war and blah blah blah and hope everyone forgets what we're REALLY discussing.

Barney Frank goes toe to toe at health care town hall

CNN) -- Most Congress members conducting town hall meetings this month have chosen a noncombative posture to deal with angry participants who disrupt the proceedings. Not Rep. Barney Frank.

At a lively two-hour meeting Tuesday night in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Frank gave as good as he got in confronting opponents of overhauling the nation's health care system.

The crowded hall had both supporters and detractors, but the opposing side was much louder and more raucous, booing the Massachusetts Democrat from the moment he was introduced and shouting questions and challenges at him throughout.

"You want me to talk about it or do you want to yell?" he asked over and over when interrupted while trying to answer. Continued shouting brought a sterner rebuke.

"Disruption never helps your cause," he said more than once. "It just looks like you're afraid to have rational discussion."

While Frank attempted to respond to all questions, he gave up when one woman compared health care proposals favored by Frank and President Obama to policies of Nazi Germany.

"When you ask me that question, I'm going to revert to my ethnic heritage and ask you a question: On what planet do you spend most of your time?" Frank asked.

"You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis," he said, adding such behavior demonstrated the strength of First Amendment guarantees of what he called "contemptible" free speech.

"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table," Frank said to the woman. "I have no interest in doing it."

Education. If Congress would EDUCATE the population on what they are talking about, you wouldn't have so many people up in arms over nothing.

How can you "educate" when the NOISE is overwhelming...
With key members of the Republican Party screaming that Obama wants to set up "death panels" to euthanize the old and disabled...
and
Sarah Palin claiming (with a straight face) that Barack Obama wants to kill her baby...

:coffee: Education... seriously :rofl:

Maybe Congress could educate themselves first. You know, like by reading the bill themselves. Which might make it easier to explain exactly what they think they're doing.
