Why we focused on another "bail out" in MH instead of focusing on the economy?

I bet if those people had jobs they could pay their mortgage without puttin' a hand-out?

?!?

Oh, and why didn't Jerry give us a town hall meetin?

My friends said they didn't even know about the conference call last week. What was that all about?

And now this? If those people in MH had jobs, don't you think they could pay their mortgage?

Does it take a PHD in mathematics to figure that one out?

?!?

Does anyone think that by taking on too many issues at a time seems to reduce overall quality of the, well, "liberal agenda"?

Dr. Zeke with his "charts"? Linda "FLAG"ing us to snitch on each other with a 'OFA' email list. And Nancy smak-talkin the elderly down, 'NOW'?

It would be nice if we could focus on the economy, but haven't we painted ourselves into a corner?

?!?

It looks like,hopefully the health care debacle is dead. But cap & trade is out there,simmering. China says no to cap & trade because it'll destroy their economy. Cudos to China for illustrating the reality of this 1960s hippie dog and pony show. Global warming is a scam,people. What's going on here is restriction of supply of commodity in order to drive up the price. There's more oil waiting to be drilled for in America than is in the entire Middle East. But every time oil drilling is mentioned there's creeps from the environmentalist movement who won't let us drill because of a hoot owl or the endangered twin-finned smelt. I smell a con game.

Jerry McNerney,

I don't have health care insurance and really don't want to pay for YOUR "plan". It seems like a way to squeeze some additional monies out of us. And I don't have a lot more to give. I wonder if you could tell us, why should I have to pay for someone else's healthcare? Yes, please stop for a minute to explain. And why are Democrats suddenly interested in listening to businesses? When did Democrats listen to businesses. Democrats always claimed they we were the party for the American People.

Things have changed with the Democrats. Recently the Democrats, along with yourself, appear to be sidelining the American people in favor listening to business and other special interest groups. It's very sad to see this happen to the American people.

Democrat appear all to eager to push Nancy's agendas through and seem to be making the mistake of taking on far too many issues at one time. The current "Career Congress" is costing us a staggering multiple trillions, of trillions, of trillions of dollars. If not multiple trillions more. Why don't we pause for a moment and see if that makes sense? Why is it Congress won't go to work on the economy first?

Let's humanize this. My neighbor can't go to work becuse of the economy and has been unemployed for over eight months. Why can't Congres understand people like my neighbor want a strong economy first? Let's get back to the idea of making America a place where we all have a job to do and clearly understand what that job is.

While we're at it. Let's not focus on too many issues at a single time. When you do that we lose focus. It doesn't seem clear that Democrats like yourself, are being inclusive of the public's input on some issues of importance to the American people.

Honestly, I feel democrats are making the same mistake the Clinton administration did by not including everyone in a healthcare debate. A good example is your "phoney town-hall meeting".

I also don't see businesses as being the right venue to USE to push health care reform on voters who are getting little or no say in the issue. Bring the issue to the people (not businesses and special interests) and let the people who have health insurance be the judge.

The people are the stakeholders that Congressmen and Congresswomen should be listening to. Democrats appear to be ONLY interested in listening to businesses and special interests. That seems to be a sad repeat of history. And that will ultimately turn the voters away from Democrats agenda. It's already happening.

Sorry, Jerry. It sure seems wrong to count people out in favor of business and special interests. Is that what you promsed the American voters, back in November? Let's get our priorities back in order. Why not tell Congress to give us jobs and slow down on the 23 trillion dollars before we have no money left. I really doubt the American voters wanted Democrats to put the cart before the horse. (or the special interest before the voters).

We'll have to look at the ballot boxes in November.

Just hope somebody's listening.

Why Democrats don't understand healthcare.

Watch Jo Bidon telling a man confined to his wheelchar to "stand up".

Anyone out there still supporting it?

Just be careful what you ask for.

Jerry McNerney,

If the folks in Mountain House had a Congresssman that would focus on the issue of jobs then many of them (who used to work in the Silicon Valley) could get healthcare at a lower cost than one trillion dollars. Taxes we will ALL pay for, even those of us who don't health care.

I'd like the option to opt out of paying for Nanci's mess. Thank you very much!

Don't you think?

I hope they really will step up to the plate in helping the people keep their homes.... by making sure they do have a job. If they lost their jobs or possibility of losing one, how will they keep their home in the future?

Just like clunker car, how do they know the people will keep making payments, will we see more repossed cars within 6 months??

Seeing how the banks and congressmen screwed up the country, I can only wish those desperately seeking help success... no one needs to live with that kind of anxiety day after day.

Good luck and prayers for those who need the help and that the meeting will not end up like the phone-y meeting.

I do hope those folks get the help they need.

Funny thing though. Didn't Jerry say he wouldn't do a in person town hall meetin on health care issues?

I'm thinkin. Can you say photo op with the press? Bad feelin about it when Democrats run from a debate.

Very disapointed.
