He was righteous. And he knew that it was no laughing matter.

Thank you for posting!

nice to hear someone speaking plainly about this issue on tv.

Most people WANT to trust those higher than themselves in the social order.

Or..maybe just setting him up. Which ever I'm glad he's not afraid to take him on and that POS "plan" they're foisting off as health care.

The TOTAL BS coming out of our Senate and House of Representatives is shocking and amazing now.

What is this, the 4th or 5th version of the GOP "healthcare" bill (that's not about healthcare it's really a taxcut) and that's all they've done this year. We pay these guys $200K per year to do nothing, they can't even write a decent bill. Nobody wants this bill, nobody wants this healthcare. Nobody wants Obamacare to be taken away. Why do they keep trying to do this?

As far as I can see, every GOP Senator or Representative who's up for re-election next year should lose their seat. Not a single one is worth keeping. This has been a giant vacation for them, they've done nothing all year. And before this year, all they did was obstruct Obama at every turn. American taxpayers are paying these guys $200K per year for nothing.

because the Koch's and their ilk have told them no more money until you kill Obamacare and give us a tax cut. They don't care about us or their constituents or what's good for American citizens. The second reason is they've spent so much time telling their brainwashed base that Obamacare is bad that they're afraid of backlash and losing votes if they can't repeal it. They're addicts and all addicts will lie, cheat, steal and murder to get their fix. They are not the republicans of the past. They are traitors bent on the destruction of America at the expense of their own enrichment.

I get it, I'm a member of DU same as you.

Sen. Cassidy is just one more example of republicans lying about mattes of great importance to Americans. Deplorable.

His show attracts viewers by having a funny opening monologue. He decided this was important enough to him to ditch that. Gutsy!

over this. Can't even believe he came up with this - there are times I think he is a decent person. No more.

Clear, to the point, and passionate. Thank you, sir.

When is the last time a Republican has told the truth? The new reality is that content no longer matters - it is that "R" behind your name that matters with the Deplorable's.

It's his nature as a Republican.

.....Now that is worth watching !!!!!!!!

Calls the only thing they log by numbers.

They're supposed to save letters, emails and faxes. IMO- a lot of government people trashcan a lot of those.

There simply not enough adjectives in the English language that adequately express my disdain and disgust by the actions, beliefs, lies, incompetence, ignorance, corruption, and the total lack of integrity now on display by our (excuse me while I barf) "leaders". Of course, this includes,

- The Trump Family (I'll exclude poor Barron. But, he sure does have poor role models and I hope he doesn't get started with the 10W-40.)
- Mitch, The Turtle, McConnell
- Ted, The Nose, Cruz
- Betty Devos (and her mercenary brother)
- Tom Price (Health insurance! You don't need no stinkin health insurance. Die already you poor bastards.)
- Jeff, The White Hood, Sessions
- Steven Mnuchin and that gold digging wife of his (how else can you explain her marrying that face?)
- Rick Perry (Did you see that really bizarre Dancing With the Stars segment he did? What planet was he on?)
- Ben Carson (He's a brain surgeon, REALLY? Dementia must have struck early.)
- A special mention for Fox News (we all know that "News" in this context really means propaganda)
- etc., etc., etc., etc. I don't have all night.

Thank God for Xanax.

...and the monsters trying to force it through

Congressional GOP members speaking to the media are generally lying through their teeth, claiming that the bill guarantees coverage of the same basic health needs of American citizens as the ACA, or pretends it isn't a cynical ploy to win votes by transferring federal funding from higher cost blue states and other states that faithfully administered healthcare toward the interest of their constituents, toward red states whose state governments obstructed the ACA for political purposes. It's always frustrating to watch as the news anchor then dances around the issue and uses overly diplomatic language in questioning.

It's so refreshing when someone with media influence who is very cognizant of the stakes is willing to bring attention to the matter and call it like he sees it.
