I've been blessed with a second call from Senator Reid. I am sitting, as I type, phone pressed to my ear listening to a poorly performed speech, which Harry Reid is almost certainly reading.
The senator is throwing out a myriad of numbers and statistics, not citing any sources, or even explaining them very well.
He preceded his numeric jibber-jabber with "Before we get into questions, I'd like to talk about a few myths, these are myths," which are the exact same words he used during the last Town Hall Meeting.
Again, as I said last time, this defeats the purpose of a Town Hall. We're supposed to talk with you, Senator, not sit quietly as you talk at us. It's unamerican.
Awesome slip-up #1: When talking about death panels Senator Reid mentioned: "Death Care Reform Bills."
Great Question- Reid's first questioner, "Victor" just cited his record disapproval rating, asking how he could possibly consider reconciliation. Reid has glossed over the disapproval comment and just said "It would be nice to have some Republicans on board," but the democratic party is in a position where they can do what they think is best.
This is the 2nd tele-town hall I've listened to, and again Harry Reid is talking about his foot surgery a few years back. The story has to do with doctors getting ready to opporate on the same foot. I bet anything he's going to speculate on what would happen if it had been his wife on the opperating table instead of him...Bingo.
Reid thinks, if doctors say they're sorry for malpractice, the statement becomes inadmissable in court.
The Senator just admitted that he checks the Blue Cross/Blue Shield option when he enrolls for healthcare. He says, "I don't know if it's the least expensive, I just check it, I'm lazy." Really, Dude? With the current debate raging over health insurance and Americans complaining about how the politicians haven't adequately researched the heath care reform bills, you're going to tell us you don't even research your own health insurance. Come on...
Again, I'm waiting to ask my own questions, but so far, I've been ignored.
No questions for Yours Truly today. These Tele-Town Halls are largely a waste of time. A chance for Reid to spin tales, uninterrupted, and come away looking like a hero. It's a joke on democracy and I don't appreciate it.
