From ProgressIowa.org:
DES MOINES, IOWA — In a vote this afternoon, Congressmen Steve King and Tom Latham refused to move on and told American families in Iowa to drop dead when they voted to take away their health care. King and Latham voted to again let insurance companies deny families care because of preexisting conditions. King and Latham voted to throw millions of senior citizens back into the prescription drug donut hole. King and Latham voted to kick millions of young adults off their parents insurance.
“With their vote to repeal Obamacare, Steve King and Tom Latham told Iowans to drop dead today,” said Matt Sinovic, executive director of Progress Iowa. “Our Members of Congress should vote based on what’s best for Iowa, not political games. We deserve better from our elected officials.”
Just in case that heartless vote wasn’t bad enough, these are the same Congressmen who support the Romney/Ryan budget that ends Medicare while giving huge tax cuts to millionaires, big oil companies and corporate jet owners.

BARRY SOETORO……I mean Barack Obimbo is promoting class warfare and is the biggest racist to walk the face of the earth- right beside Oprah!
ProgressIowa.org is SOCIALISM at its UGLIEST! Ruining the U.S.A. and pushing this nation toward HELL
ProgressIowa.org is part of a group of Communist/Socialist organizations all across America that put this kind of propaganda out.
They are connected to Agenda 21, Occupy WallStreet, and George Soros.
That’s why I get all my propaganda from Fox News!
You know, I think we should all get together and have a public debate about the pros and cons of this Obamacare.
If the truth about this law was known to everyone; no one, not a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, poor man or rich man would support this law.
I will be happy to moderate and participate in an open debate on this healthcare/welfare taxation law.
Any takers?
Today Hotair.com site has link to story that unions and other Democratic Party supporters hold most of the Top Twenty donor spots in an Open Secrets tracking of donations from 1988 through 2012. How could that be?? Those pesky facts don’t quite support the narrative that Democrats are the party of the common man now do they? Better get to researching, sounds like people might be only getting one side of the story.
Looks like Just My Opinion doesn’t want to discuss where the money is going to come from to fund Obamacare. That’s fine, if I were you I wouldn’t want to get into that discussion either.
And just how many medical bills could have been paid with the BILLIONS squandered on the war in Iraq? Aren’t you just a little embarrassed that George W. went to war with the WRONG COUNTRY? And if you aren’t, that’s okay, because I’m embarrassed enough for the both of us!
What makes you think it was the wrong country? I was there and I saw what was going on. I saw the things the media refused to report. If you knew half of what you think you knew instead of what msnbc wanted you to know you wouldn’t have had the guts to make a statement like that. I guess if it was on tv or online then by god it has to be true, why would they lie to you.
When we were attacked on Sept.11, that was an act of war. That war could have been over in less than six months had the brainless politicians let our military do the job they were trained to do. You cannot unleash the military and then try to micro manage everything they do. It’s an ugly truth and nobody wants to go to war but when your country is attacked you can only achieve peace thru victory. To everybody that served and those still serving my family thanks you.
Well to that I have to agree. Even the generals over there playing politics ordering us if we get ambushed we cannot return fire unless we get his permission, I kid you not. Try getting ahold of him when you are pinned down a couple hundred miles away and he’s somewhere taking a dump for a few hours. Then he tries to courts martial you when you do return fire.
What you see is the political aspect of it, maybe you are right maybe you are wrong, I saw the humanitarian aspect of it and from that point of view I know we were right. Sure we have people here that are hungry and need our help but so did the people over there, we could get into a religious debate here but we are getting off the subject of the posting which is if we allow obamacare to go through in 10 years we will be like iraq was when I was there.
Why don’t you try being an independent and read both sides? Following a party around like sheep is not good. Educate yourself please. The issues are too important to believe in propaganda.
Know what? You absolutely can’t have an intelligent discussion with a conservative. It’s impossible to debate them because they never listen to anyone but themselves. They’re a broken record that never stops. I think I’ll put all my energy into getting Obama re-elected instead of wasting my time with people who are so closed-minded they can’t see anything but their own agenda.
Well isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black.
Any time you want to sit down and go over the facts I will be happy to “debate” them with you.
You will be debating with another Democrat that is totally against Obamacare because I have read the bill.
Obama is screwing us all over big time.
Name the time and place. All we have to do is agree to be civil towards each other.
Can You?
Drudge Report has link showing Obamacare new estimate at 2.6 trillion dollars in 1st decade. Where is that money coming from folks? Think your taxes are going to get raised?
All the seniors getting free checkups and saved millions in prescriptions!! What nonsense. Nothing is “free”. This is simply cost shifting – it has to be paid for by someone.
Matt Sinovic says “We deserve better from our elected officials.”
We also deserve better from progressiowa; the truth, not political spin.
ProgressIowa is a disgusting group of liars bent on destroying freedom.
Sorry you guys are so behind the times. The Democrat party is not what it used to be. You really should know what you are backing.
It is the first step on getting rid of Obamacare that would have brought this nation to ruin. If these liberals want to try to decieve us and say they told us to drop dead then go ahead but we are smarter than that. We know that they are looking out for us in the long run.
How are they looking out for us? What health care plans have they come up with? What have the republicans do for the past 2 years except try to defeat Pres. Obama? Both King and Latham care nothing for middle class America. They look out for corperate America and the very rich. I just can’t believe that most who post on here make enough or have enough money that anyone in the Republican Party truely cares about them or their families. Wake up already. This election isn’t about gun control or abortion. It is about putting people in congress that will work with others on both sides to come up with reasonable and responsible legislation the will benifit the working and middle class. That would be CV and Pres. Obama.
You don’t care about the other class of people that work hard. Middle class people are going to have this shoved down our throats and made to pay for it at the same time.
Democrats don’t care a twit about me and my family and what it costs. Rich people can’t pay for all of this anyway.
Whoever believes the Democrats care about anything other than buying votes are just to stubborn to learn and know the truth.
Ya, and the Democrats don’t have any big money backing them. Try doing some research into the non-profit foundations they have helping them and then you can read The Wall Street Journal’s article from yesterday on how the political spending by unions is far more than originally calculated. Go search for the article and read it and you will want to stop helping spread the propaganda. It simply is not true. Ignorance simply hurts us all.
I beg to differ! It certainly IS news, and everyone had better be paying attention because it could end up affecting all of us. King & Latham have to go. They care nothing for anyone except the wealthy, self-centered, good ol’ boys who send them huge contributions for their campaigns. Are you really part of that? Do you really fit that profile? I rather doubt it.
What a load of bovine processed feed grains. This isn’t news, it’s liberal propaganda.
Totally agree-this is B.S. and certainly is not news.
Its still true. They have too much big money telling them what to do. After all there are two different kinds of Republicans, the rich and the gullible.
Anonymous you must get your head out of the sand. The news media is lying about what the Republicans are trying to do.
In a nut shell, Republicans are trying to right a wrong.
They are not for the Insurance Companies, or pre-existing conditions being covered or any of the BS.
The 2100 pages of Obamcare was nothing more than a play to buy votes while increasing our health care costs. Obamacare has already started taking away medical services from Senior Citizens.
This whole horrible law needs to be thrown out and start over from scratch.
I don’t believe the Dems or Reps they both are nothing but propaganda! Anyone who thinks they are getting facts from either is a fool!
