Left, Right & Center
kcrw.com

As we round the final corner en route to the health care vote, “Left, Right & Center’s” illustrious panelists Robert Scheer, Tony Blankley and Arianna Huffington—with Lawrence O’Donnell guest-starring as moderator—consider what might happen if the reform bill passes the House this weekend. And what’s with this “deeming” procedure anyway?

It would seem a political civil war has broken out here in the US of A and the Republics are on the offensive, especially with Health Care, big time. All the mouths are coming across as Rush Limbaugh, who, BTW, said would leave the country if Health Care passes. Just one more incentive to pass Health Care reform, IMHO.

In other words, we should take Limbaugh’s statement as a promise, and clearly not a threat. Wonder how much we’ll save on financing his perpetual rehab if he leaves?

Scare me Dude. The “misquote” came from CNN. Rush, IMHO, is allowed to save face as he does very often.

huliO proves my point that the radical Republics ARE aggressively on the offensive - even with scanning progressive media discussion boards - attempting to demean anyone with whom they disagree. How long can one hide behind the arrogance? It’s getting quite transparent and comical. Keep up the good work!

I guess “RUSH is RIGHT” He told that if health care is destoried by this liberal congress that he would go to Costa Rica for his health care. But he warned that since he made that statement that there would be some mind numb idiots out there that would “LIE” about his statement and change His words to: Rush said he would leave the country if healthcare was passed. And again to prove that RUSH is right 99.5 percent of the time calabashe opens his mouth and spews out his stupidity. It’s ok to disagree with someone, even RUSH but please don’t let your narrow mindness and stupidity allow you to LIE about anything…But then if you can’t lie I guess you will not have anything to say.
