Now, the really sick part is...if you really and truly think about it, why is the Gov't SO desperate to sway opinion? If they have SUCH a WONDERFUL product that they are FORCING us to buy, shouldn't it really just sell itself?

It is an indictment on the US system that y'all oppose Obamacare but are in favour of the Affordabel Care Act!
Even funnier to watch a few people say so on film
How does it feel to have GOP stupid infecting your country??
come to think of it that's probably a rhetorical question ion here - the evidence of ATS suggests that you're all quite happy to lose IQ points every time someone slams Obama - it seems that hating the president is more important on ATS than actually knowing what you are talking about!

Doesn't really matter.
When all the figures are out and people see how much they are having to pay in real life, the fictional stories on T.V. will be forgotten.
The time is quickly rolling up when the spinsters of the left will no longer be able to weave their pretty tales. The numbers won't lie.
No, my dear friend, this is not the Big Bad GOP is doing it to us, this is the US GOV'T doing it to us.
I am sick and tired of people SOOO easily caught up in the charade of US vs THEM when it comes to Republicans vs Democrats. Two sides of the EXACT same coin, people. This whole Gov't shutdown because "Obama can't get his way, the GOP are being crybabys" is just one big act of drama. A charade.

Look past the veneer. Look at what we really are facing. This is a huge engine that doesn't care who it grinds up. And it's designed to make us think we have choices, but in reality it's forcing us towards the slaughter house.
or the idiocy of the teabaggers PUBLIC POSITION any less real.
We've picked out ten Republicans whose deep-seated orthodoxy, hardcore conservatism, and general idiocy mark them as the craziest of the crazy. National Review's Robert Costa says "there are 30 to 40 true hardliners," and "another group of maybe 50 to 60 members who are very much pressured by the hardliners." These guys are the hardliners of the hardliners. Unsurprisingly, we've run into many of them before link

I think it is good to use TV to get the facts out, especially since you have the Right Wing using every method they have available to spread lies about it.

No, my dear friend,
I am glad you think I am your friend, but since I do not know you yyou are ny my friend - and I would certainly never use the adjective "dear" in regard of a complete stranger.....but nettiqute aside....
this is not the Big Bad GOP is doing it to us, this is the US GOV'T doing it to us.
Hmm....
I am sick and tired of people SOOO easily caught up in the charade of US vs THEM when it comes to Republicans vs Democrats. Two sides of the EXACT same coin, people.
so you say they ARE different right here next to saying they are the same.....
This whole Gov't shutdown because "Obama can't get his way, the GOP are being crybabys" is just one big act of drama. A charade.
Seems very real to me, and I am sure to the people out of work because of it.
It certainly looks very real when some politicians stand up and say "no Obamacare at any cost" and promptly cost people their jobs by doing so.
You may well be correct that here is some overarching direction to the whole political process.....but that doesn't make the shutdown any less real, or the idiocy of the teabaggers PUBLIC POSITION any less real.

Did you mean to say something meaningful in regard to the shutdown or the ACA or Obamacare, or even my post??
Meaningless rants like yours are pretty much exactly the problem I posted about in the first place - the mindless rhetoric.

Look them using tv to inform people about issues is nothing new. There are entire news stations that do nothing but push political agendas it is bound to spill over into other shows just like coke product placement.
