  • They handed out George Washington's Rules of Civility to the crowd, but the crowd continued to get rowdy when Gov. Dean when he came out on stage about 1 hr into the event.

Reminder Story:

In Oregon there is a state run health care system very similar to the one that is being presented now.

In 2006 Barbara Wagner, a 64 year old universal health care recipient was diagnosed with lung cancer. She was refused the $4,000 drug that she needed for treatment because it was too expensive. She was instead offered the $50 pills to help in an "assisted suicide. (Yes, it's Legal in Oregon). After hearing her story


Tarceva, the drug company heard her story and sent a free year long supply of the medication that she needed. Barbara Wagner sadly lost her battle last October.

Hannity's America

  • Dems are planning to combat the "Astroturf" Republicans with... Astroturf Democrats.
  • DNC is planning to hosting 1,000 rallies in cities all over the country to promote gov't run health care.
  • Politico.com reported that a special interest group Health Group for America Now is helping promote these fake town halls. Click the read article.
  • The White House announced Obama's Reading List for his vacation:
    --Thomas L. Friedman: Hot, Flat and Crowded
    --Richard Price: Lush Life
    --Keny Haruf: Plainsong
  • Hannity posed the question. Why doesnt President Obama take a moment to read the 1,018 page Health Care Bill?
(um Hannity, in addition to having something called common sense I also worked at a PR company and I'm guessing this was a weak attempt to win back a little love from the American people. He probably doesn't even have those books!!)

Health Care Debate Language


Frank Lutz, pollster, on Hannity talks about the words that are being used by the Obama Administration in relation to the Health Care debate. The words are carefully chosen using focus group market research and polls. Apparently the leftist bloggers are viciously attacking the right for using this exact same gameplay. Lutz points out the injustice of the situation.

War of Words

Pro-Obama Team

Words to Use instead of Words to Shun

public instead of government
choice and control instead of competition
quality, affordable instead of universal coverage
sliding scale instead of free
prevention instead of wellness
rules instead of regulations
choice instead of medicare for all
